https://doi.org/10.21834/e-bpj.v10iSI24.6376Keywords:
Additional Mathematics, Students, Nominal Group Technique, Mobile ApplicationAbstract
Additional Mathematics is a critical subject in Malaysia. This subject recorded the lowest passing level in public exams in the past five years (2019-2023). There is a pressing need for innovative learning solutions. Mobile applications, with their ability to offer interactive and accessible learning experiences, present a promising approach to engage students more effectively and improve performance. This article extracts the opinions of eleven professionals in the field of additional mathematics and technology to identify the important elements for developing a learning mobile application through the Nominal Group Technique (NGT).
