Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 特殊教育學系碩士班 === 94 === The purpose of this study is to investigate time sense between students with high and low mathematical achievement. This sample includes fifth graders and sixth graders. The students are divided into two groups: high and low mathematical achievement. Students receive paper-and-pencil tests and time perception tests to evaluate students’ time sense performance.
This study analyzes the correlation among Time Sense Tests, Time Diagnosis Test, mathematical achievement, and nonverbal intelligence. In addition, this study also compares the different performance of students on each test via two-way ANOVA test by different grades and achievements. Time Sense Tests includes the Real Lifetime Sense Test, the Psychological Perception Test, the Visual Perception Test, the Auditory Perception Test, and the Kinesthetic Perception Test.
The major findings are summarized as the following:
1. Students’ performance on Real Lifetime Sense Test, Time Diagnosis Test, mathematical achievement, and nonverbal intelligence all have significant correlation.
2. Students with high mathematical achievement score significantly higher on Real Lifetime Sense Test than those of students with low mathematical achievement.
3. Students with high mathematical achievement show a higher performance on Psychological Perception Test compared to the students with low mathematical achievement.
4. Students’ performance on Time Sense Perception Tests:
(1) In the Visual Perception Test: Each group of students has no significant discrepancy.
(2) In the Auditory Perception Test: The fifth and the sixth graders represent have no significant discrepancy in ability. However, students with high mathematical achievement surpass the students with low mathematical achievement.
(3) In the Kinesthetic Perception Test: Besides the first predict and estimate the kinesthetic perception operation time, students with high mathematical achievement perform significantly better than the students with low mathematical achievement, the other results do not show significant discrepancy.
The results of this study indicate students with low mathematic achievement do not perform lower than their high achievement peers on some Time Sense Perception Tests, especially on Visual Perception Test and Kinesthetic Perception Test. Finally, Related suggestions are discussed.
