Abstract
Conventional teaching methods have shown an inability to adapt to the distinct
learning preferences of students. To address these issues, stratified teaching framed by
the Cognitive Apprenticeship Model (CAM) was developed in this study to improve
the performance, problem-solving ability, and learning motivation in mathematics for
9th-grade students. This innovative pedagogical approach was created by applying the
ADDIE methodology for instructional design and incorporating information
technology. For the empirical portion of this research, a quasi-experimental design was
implemented in a high school in China. A total of 150 students were randomly
allocated into three groups, with each group consisting of 50 students. One group was
taught using the CAM approach (i.e., the teachers employed modeling, coaching,
scaffolding, fading, articulation, and reflection techniques). Another group was
exposed to the Stratified Cognitive Apprenticeship Model Teaching Module (SCTM),
while the control group was taught using conventional instruction (CI), which mainly
involved teacher lectures, student note-taking, and homework completion. The effects
of the different teaching techniques were evaluated using pre-tests, post-tests, and
delayed post-tests, which were compared to the MYP mathematics assessment
standards and a questionnaire that measured motivation in studying mathematics.
Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was performed using SPSS, and the findings
indicated that the SCTM group exhibited superior performance in mathematical ability,
problem-solving skills, and motivation for learning mathematics compared to the other
groups. Therefore, this study supports using SCTM in high school mathematics,
demonstrating its efficacy as a teaching technique. The findings of this study suggest
that integrating SCTM with traditional teaching methods is a beneficial approach to
improving students’ mathematics performance, problem-solving abilities, and learning
motivation. The favorable results of the SCTM approach provide a strong foundation
for its application in high school mathematics instruction and may influence future
educational methodologies and policies.
