The Effects of Situational Teaching Method on the Achievement and Interest of Lower Primary School Students in Mathematics

Open access
The Situational Teaching Method is a teaching method in which teachers purposefully create emotionally rich, vivid and concrete scenes to induce students' attitudinal experiences and help them understand the material. Its core lies in stimulating students' emotions. In this study, sixty second grade elementary school students in a city in southwest China were used as subjects to investigate the effects of situational teaching method on mathematics achievement and interest in mathematics learning. The results of the quasi-experiment revealed that the situational approach can significantly improve students' mathematics achievement and learning interest compared with traditional teaching methods. In the follow-up study, we should pay attention to the design and give full play to the role of the situational teaching method by combining the students' characteristics, the important and difficult points of the teaching materials, and the classroom and school environment in order to improve the students' learning interest and performance.
