Description
Summary:This mini review reported the latest studies done in Malaysia from 2018 to 2022, which related to the issues of mobile/software application utilisation in teaching and learning mathematics for both students and educators in the Malaysian education system. Eight studies were selected through systematic selection, namely from Mendeley, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The findings of the review have identified five key issues related to teaching and learning mathematics using applications in the Malaysian education system. It includes (1) application design and development; (2) self-efficacy of the students; (3) ICT literacy, training, and facilities; (4) value of educator-student relationship; and (5) educator willingness and satisfaction. This study indicates that the aforementioned five key issues and the accompanying suggestions apply to all education levels in Malaysia – primary, secondary, and tertiary. This study concludes by suggesting further investigation of a mathematics educator’s satisfaction in terms of the application’s effectiveness to meet their limited teaching plan, schedule, time, cost, and facility. By understanding these situations, the teaching quality of educators may be boosted, and students’ mathematics achievements may be enhanced too.
