Suffina Long1, Yahutazi Chik2.
There are different teaching tools, styles and equipment used and introduced in
classrooms to substitute the use of traditional methods. Writing tablets have been in use in
Malaysia. However, it has not yet been fully implemented in classrooms especially for the
subject of Mathematics. This study investigated the effects of using Teaching Enabled
Technology (TEC) device with the utilisation of the writing tablet in teaching Business
Mathematics and its relationship on students’ perception, motivation, teaching and learning
activities that leads to students’ performance in classroom and how the infrastructure and
facilities in classroom supports technology in teaching Mathematics. A sample of 107 diploma
students from two programmes and two semesters from the course of Business Mathematics
was studied. Business Mathematics is one of the core subjects for diploma students in Universiti
Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Sarawak, Mukah Campus. The data was collected using
questionnaires and from a comparison between secondary school and final examinations
results. From the data collected, it was found that the use of the writing tablet in teaching
Mathematics in tertiary education could be successful and effective. The benefits include more
interaction between students and lecturer in the classroom and led to their enjoyment in
learning Mathematics. The study also recommended the implementation of using writing tablets
in teaching Mathematics can be accommodated not only in small classrooms but also in a large
hall. This study should be a good indicator for Mathematics lecturers to change from typical
lecturing to include applying technology in their teaching methods.
