Progress Report on Knowledge Transfer Programme (KTP)

Title of Project:
Graphing Calculator Technology Modules: Enhancing Performances, Thinking and Mathematical Reasoning Skills

Objectives of the Project:
To transfer knowledge and expertise to industry, graduate interns, Malaysian secondary mathematics teachers and Pre University Mathematics lecturers
To improve the Graphing Calculator Technology (GCT) modules in teaching and learning of Mathematics
To apply GCT modules in teaching and learning of Mathematics
To improve the technology of graphing calculator
To combine GCT modules and graphing calculator as a learning tool
To develop networking between UPSI, Ministry of Education and Industry

Work Schedule (2 years):
The schedule of the module development is being attached in the report (Appendix A). The module is expected to be complete by the early month of
May 2013. During the period after the completion of module been done, GI will be given other tasks by the Project Leader (Prof. Dato Dr. Noraini Idris)
which includes:
i. Impact Research on Graphic Calculator
ii. Graphic Calculator workshops for educators and students

Checklist of Work Progress:
Refer to Appendix B for the checklist of module development progress.
Additional Data:
By comparing the module development schedule and the checklist of the progress, there were still more topics that need to be complete by the end of
April. Most parts in the statistic field basically had been completed by the previous GI and the new GI will resume the on-going task. New GI had been
started with the field on Financial Mathematics recently. Although there are still more to be done, new GI hope to the module could be accomplished as
recorded in the schedule. At the present moment, GI is conducting an impact research in collaboration with a few chosen schools on the usage of
graphic calculator in teaching Mathematics.
