摘要:This study discusses on evaluating Level of Understanding of Calculus Foundation base on Level of Numeracy Understanding Model (LNUM) among Bachelor of Mathematics Education students. There are four levels used in this model which consist of de-coding, meaning-making, using and analysing. This study was carried out by applying quantitative research methodology where interviews were implemented to collect data. This study has involved 30 students of Bachelor of Mathematics Education program at Sultan Idris Education University. The respondents were chosen through random sampling. In this study, respondents were assessed by using questions for the topics in Calculus Foundation (SMN3013) where it is a compulsory for the students to take this course in Semester 1. Analysis on answer scripts collected from the respondents show that majority of the respondents have achieved Level of Analysis well for the most of topics in Calculus Foundation. By using this model, students know their level of understanding for each topic in Calculus Foundation and able to identify their weaknesses. Furthermore, students can apply this model in solving problem involving calculus or other subjects in real life situations.
