Abstract:
This study incorporated the use of writing-to-learn strategy, particularly journal
writing, in Grade 10 mathematics lessons. Although part of a study conducted to investigate the
effects of journal writing on academically lower-achieving learners with English as their second
language, this paper will focus only on the students’ perceptions of writing journals in
mathematics. The students’ perceptions are based on their experience from a 2-cycle action research
study. A total of 35 students, ranging from age 15 to 16 years old, from two Grade 10 classes were
involved in the study. Data from the student journal entries and questionnaires revealed that the
majority of students found journal writing beneficial for the development of their mathematical
learning.
