Abstract:

This study intended to rediscover the concepts of mathematical induction and to develop a learning module that can make the students be more appreciative of mathematical induction. Specifically, this investigation aimed to measure the levels of knowledge and attitude of students towards mathematical induction. Guided by the ADDIE (Analysis-Design-Development Implementation Evaluation) instructional systems design framework, the researchers employed he descriptive method and purposively chose 8 mathematics students whose attitude and cognitive levels were to be assessed using valid and reliable research instruments (α’s of 0.85 and 0.86). Findings revealed that the revisitation of the concept significantly increased the cognitive level but such intervention did not improve the attitude level of the students.
