| A strong grasp of elementary algebra is fundamental for future math success, but many students struggle with its core structural principles, leading to difficulties with algebraic manipulation and negative attitudes towards mathematics. Consequently, this lack of foundational understanding results in errors, hinders progress in subsequent math courses, and diminishes students' interest and motivation. This study aims to develop and evaluate a targeted e-learning package, incorporating essential technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge and addressing diverse learning needs through motivation, context, interactivity, evaluation, and connectivity, to foster students' confidence and competence in mastering key concepts and skills in elementary algebra. A correlational research design was employed and involved data collection through semi structured interviews with four experienced mathematics teachers and focus group discussions with eight students from public and private schools. Interview findings highlighted significant student difficulties in understanding variables, performing operations, transposing terms, and solving word problems, often compounded by math anxiety, while also underscoring the importance of varied instruction and assessment for diverse learning styles and the need for tailored learning within an e-learning platform. The study indicates that the e-learning website has substantial potential to improve students' comprehension and involvement in elementary algebra. However, the findings' generalizability is limited due to a brief data collection period, which might have restricted the depth of the insights. Future research should consider implementing and further
evaluating the e-learning package to ensure its ongoing effectiveness and relevance to students' specific needs, while also addressing limitations to enhance the learning experience and maximize achievement in elementary algebra. |
