Then, whether or not schooling has an effect on preschoolers,\nnumber sense and problem solving ability was next of interest. Finally, to investigate\nwhether there would be direct relation between number sense and problem solving ability.\nBoth quantitative and qualitative approaches were used in this study. In the Phase I, 412\npreschoolers from 11 preschools and their respective teachers participated in this study. In\nthe Phase II, 142 preschoolers participated in this study. Among them, 27 were selected\nfrom Taikgyi Township (Yangon Region), 20 from North Dagon Township (Yangon\nRegion), 20 from Theinzaik (Mon State), 50 from Yekyi Township (Ayeyarwaddy\nRegion) and 25 preschoolers from Thanetpin Township (Bago Region).\nPreschoolers\u0027 Number Sense Test (PNST) and Preschoolers\u0027 Problem Solving\nTest (PPST) were used as the research instruments. Preschoolers\u0027 Number Sense Test\n(PNST) consists of 41 items and eight sub-scales such as rote counting, counting\nbackwards, number after, number before, number between, number identification,\nquantity discrimination and matching number/objects. The Preschoolers\u0027 Problem Solving\nTest (PPST) is composed of 20 items. It consists of four sub-scales such as addition,\nsubtraction, commutativity, and associativity. Alpha reliability for PNST and PPST\nrevealed at 0.856 and 0.876, respectively.\nIn this study, ANOVA results by department/organization indicated that\nsignificant differences were found to be on five sub-scales such as rote counting, counting\nbackwards, number after, number identification and matching sub-scales of preschoolers\u0027\nnumber sense test. Concerning preschool teachers\u0027 experience, the mean score of\npreschoolers whose teachers had less than 5 years teaching experience were found to be\nsignificantly lower than that of preschoolers whose teachers had 5 years and above\nteaching experience on the rote counting and counting backward sub-scales. However,\nthere existed no gender related difference concerning all sub-scales of preschoolers\u0027\nnumber sense test. Moreover, it was found that older preschoolers outperformed younger\npreschoolers on the entire number sense test.\nConcerning problem solving ability of preschoolers, the mean score of\npreschoolers who attend the preschools under Ministry of Education (MOE) was higher\nthan that of preschoolers who attend preschools under Department of Social Welfare\n(DSW) in the entire problem solving test. Gender related difference was not found to be\nsignificant different on preschoolers\u0027 problem solving ability. Concerning the age group,\nthe mean score of older preschoolers was found to be higher than that of younger\npreschoolers. According to the multiple regression analysis, number identification was the\nstrongest predictor for preschoolers\u0027 problem solving ability. On the other hand, rote\ncounting, number after, counting backwards, number before, and number between were\nalso the strong predictors for preschoolers\u0027 problem solving ability.\nThere was significant difference between preschoolers who attend preschool and\nwho do not attend preschool in both sub-scales. The preschoolers who attend preschool\ncan do better than those who do not attend preschool. This research revealed that\nschooling plays an important role on the development of preschoolers\u0027 number sense and\nproblem solving ability"}]}, "item_1583103108160": {"attribute_name": "Keywords", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"interim": "number sense, problem solving ability and preschooler"}]}, "item_1583103120197": {"attribute_name": "Files", "attribute_type": "file", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"accessrole": "open_access", "date": [{"dateType": "Available", "dateValue": "2020-09-03"}], "displaytype": "preview", "download_preview_message": "", "file_order": 0, "filename": "An Investigation into Myanmar Preschoolers (6th ICSMEDC).pdf", "filesize": [{"value": "559 Kb"}], "format": "application/pdf", "future_date_message": "", "is_thumbnail": false, "licensetype": "license_0", "mimetype": "application/pdf", "size": 559000.0, "url": {"url": "https://meral.edu.mm/record/5156/files/An Investigation into Myanmar Preschoolers (6th ICSMEDC).pdf"}, "version_id": "4520658b-b577-4de3-aeed-6fbb1e123fbd"}]}, "item_1583103147082": {"attribute_name": "Conference papers", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"subitem_c_date": "2013-11-01", "subitem_conference_title": "International Conference on  Mathematics and Mathematics Education in Developing Countries", "subitem_place": "Mandalay"}]}, "item_1583105942107": {"attribute_name": "Authors", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"subitem_authors": [{"subitem_authors_fullname": "Nu Nu Nyunt"}, {"subitem_authors_fullname": "Thin Thin Hlaing"}, {"subitem_authors_fullname": "Phyo Su Khin"}]}]}, "item_1583108359239": {"attribute_name": "Upload type", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"interim": "Publication"}]}, "item_1583108428133": {"attribute_name": "Publication type", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"interim": "Conference paper"}]}, "item_1583159729339": {"attribute_name": "Publication date", "attribute_value": "2013-11-01"}, "item_title": "An Investigation into Myanmar Preschoolers’ Number Sense and Problem Solving Ability", "item_type_id": "21", "owner": "57", "path": ["1595850089647"], "permalink_uri": "http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000005156", "pubdate": {"attribute_name": "Deposited date", "attribute_value": "2020-09-03"}, "publish_date": "2020-09-03", "publish_status": "0", "recid": "5156", "relation": {}, "relation_version_is_last": true, "title": ["An Investigation into Myanmar Preschoolers’ Number Sense and Problem Solving Ability"], "weko_shared_id": -1}
