The 'Math Masters Club' operated by the Jeonbuk Provincial Office of Education has shown results in improving students' math abilities and learning attitudes.
According to the Jeonbuk Provincial Office of Education, an analysis of the academic performance of students participating in the Math Masters Club on the 29th revealed that the improvement rate in internal grades was 52% and in mock exam scores was 54%. When including students who maintained their grades, over 80% of the total students demonstrated stable academic achievement.
The Math Masters Club is one of the academic improvement support programs where around 5 students per team, led by a math teacher, participate in a tailored program to enhance their problem-solving skills for the college entrance exam. This year, around 150 students from 30 high school teams in the province participated.
The program operated through student-participatory cooperative learning activities such as solving practical mock exams and advanced problems, explanation and discussion of solutions, analysis of incorrect answers, and reflective activities. Through this, students gained learning experiences by sharing thought processes and problem-solving strategies, beyond simple solutions, as explained by the education office.
As an example, one high school student's perception of learning changed through mentoring and discussions after participating, leading to an improvement in mock exam scores from grade 4 to grade 1. Positive changes in confidence, communication, learning motivation, and study habits were confirmed in many students' feedback.
Moon Hyeong-sim, the head of the Creative Talent Education Department, stated, "It contributes to spreading a cooperative, inquiry-based, student-led learning culture" and added, "We will share outstanding cases and activate them in connection with medium- to long-term academic improvement policies."
