Impacts Of Online Mathematics Clinic Programme In Improving Pre-University Students’academic Performance

Online education previously viewed as an option for those adult learners seeking higher education opportunities.However, Covid-19 pandemic has changed that view which has made educators and students from all levels of education adapt quickly to virtual courses.Nowadays, online teaching and learning has been used extensively by education institutions including Universiti Selangor.As a mathematics clinic programme is developed with the aim of helping students who find mathematics challenging and struggling to understand the related subjects, the need to run this virtual program effectively is even more important.Therefore, it is necessary to study the impact of attending a series of online mathematics clinic sessions on these respective students.In this research, students' academic performance is evaluated and their perception is statistically analysed.Pre and post-survey are given to students in Foundation in Management (FIM), Foundation in Information Technology (FIT) and Foundation in Science (FIS) who are the target groups of these clinics.Results from the study should be able to support the relationship which suggested that virtual mathematics clinic could be an effective initiative to increase their confidence and competence towards mathematics-related subjects.At the end of this study, it is also hoped that the development of virtual learning through these online mathematics clinics would not only improve the learning outcome, but also help to improve the sustainability of education as a whole beyond any subject or level of education.
