Abstract

In this research, we investigated the effect of peer instruction method on the first course mathematics education students’ academic achievement and the attitudes of students using peer instruction method. The implementation was carried out 15 weeks with 60 participants in an introduction to mathematics analysis lesson in Suleyman Demirel University in Kazakhstan. Two first course groups were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups. The final results were obtained to measure students’ academic achievement and questionnaires used to indicate attitudes towards peer instruction. Data were analyzed using t-test (p=0.029). The results of final questions indicated, peer instruction has a significant positive effect on students’ achievement in the introduction to mathematics analysis course and the results of questionnaires demonstrated PI has a positive impact on peers’ understanding and PI makes a good atmosphere in the class.
