ABSTRACT
The Malaysian Education System have recently implemented the home-based teaching and learning or Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran di Rumah (PdPR) classes due to the outbreak of the pandemic COVID19. Since students were not able to go to schools during the lockdown period, teachers and parents have resorted to creating various methods to engage students in their learning process. Multi-touch technology on tablet appears as a promising tool in visual learning especially during this pandemic out-break. This paper presents a preliminary study conducted on a research project in developing a Visual Learning Application for Mathematics using Holographic Display for the topic on Shape and Space based on Multi-Touch Technology called MEL-VIS. A preliminary study was conducted on fifteen (15) primary school teachers. The results of the preliminary study showed that the topic on Shape and Space is a topic that most students had major problems when learning Mathematics at three (3) primary schools. Students were found to have difficulty in understanding the concepts being taught due to factors such as: ive phenomena and concepts;as well as possessing low imagination. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
