Abstract [English]

The study was themed on art integration (folk art “Warli” and geometry images) in mathematics teaching and its effect on learners' achievement. The objectives were (i) to develop art-integrated mathematical instructional modules to teach mathematical concepts and (ii)To measure the effect of an art-integrated mathematical instructional intervention on learner achievement. The quasi-experimental post-test research design with a single group post-test design was used. 45 participants of 7th-grade students from Govt Upper Primary School have been selected. The intervention was designed on the Triangle and its Properties through Warli folk art and geometry images. After obtaining post-test scores, data analysis was done. Therefore, learners' overall achievement was based on learning outcomes. The results revealed that the range of achievement was between 60-95%, and achievement of remembering, understanding, and applying learning objectives was 89%, 83%, and 84%, and analyzing learning outcomes achieved 64% while evaluating and creating learning outcomes were committed to 63 % and 69 %. The results showed that the art-integrated instructional intervention was found to be positive in higher-order cognitive abilities.
