Enhancing Mathematical Conceptual Understanding through Formative Assessment with Conceptual Scaffolding
Keywords:
Mathematical, Conceptual, Learning EducationAbstract
Conceptual understanding is a fundamental aspect of mathematics learning that enables students to connect mathematical ideas and apply them in various problem-solving situations.. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of formative assessment assisted by conceptual scaffolding in enhancing students’ mathematical conceptual understanding. The research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design involving junior secondary school students. Formative assessment activities were integrated into the learning process and supported by conceptual scaffolding strategies that guided students step-by-step in understanding mathematical concepts. Data were collected through conceptual understanding tests administered before and after the implementation of the learning intervention. The results indicate that the use of formative assessment combined with conceptual scaffolding significantly improves students’ mathematical conceptual understanding. Students demonstrated better ability to interpret mathematical concepts, establish relationships between concepts, and apply them in solving problems. These findings suggest that integrating formative assessment with conceptual scaffolding can serve as an effective instructional strategy to support meaningful mathematics learning and improve students’ conceptual comprehension.
