Enhancement Of Mathematical Abilities of Dyscalculic Primary School Students Through Neurocognitive Strategies
A.Adaikala Jeya, A. Pio Albina
Abstract
The primary school education should stress the importance of mathematical abilities among primary school students
because it provides basic foundation for all other subjects in the curriculum. Based on the physical, environmental,
and personal factors everyone is unique. Dyscalculic Primary School Students have major difficulties in
understanding and applying the basics of Mathematics. In this present study the researcher aimed to find out the
effectiveness of the Neurocognitive strategies, and how much it influences in enhancing the mathematical Abilities.
The investigator has administered experimental method with single group design and purposive sampling technique
to collect the (30) samples from the population of 150 Dyscalculic primary school students from Sivagangai District
were randomly carefully chosen. The researcher identified the significant enrichment of mathematical Abilities
through the intervention of Neurocognitive strategies. The pre-test mathematical abilities mean scores of dyscalculic
primary school students are 4.8667 and the post test value is 14.9000. The worked out ‘t’ value is 27.601, thus there
exists significant difference between the pre and post test mean scores of mathematical abilities of dyscalculic
primary school students at 5% level. This indicates that the mathematical abilities of dyscalculic primary school
students are higher in post-test than pre-test. The Neurocognitive strategies directly deal with the cognitive
functions of the students to stimulate their brain functionaries and help to understand the basics in mathematics and
acquire the problem-solving abilities. The Neurocognitive strategies are considered as most precise strategy for the
dyscalculic primary school students.
