Integrating Agricultural Concepts into Probability Lessons

This study sought to develop and evaluate contextualized lessons using agricultural concepts in teaching probability for Grade 8 students primarily from farming backgrounds due to families' involvement in agriculture. The study employs a descriptive research design and follows the ADDIE instructional design model —analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate — to develop these contextualized lessons. The lessons, rated 'excellent' by three evaluators, employ a comprehensive teaching process, including posting scenarios, mathematical prompts, discussions, think-pair-share activities, group activities, and assessments. Feedback from students indicated a significant increase in engagement and understanding through collaborative learning activities and agricultural concepts. This study recommends further integrating practical and real-world contexts into the lessons to enhance student learning outcomes, allow them to see the application of mathematics in the world, and continuously enhance the comprehensive teaching process outlined in the study
