Abstract
Purpose and Research Question - In this paper we propose a PATH framework for designing comics based instructional material for classroom lesson enactment through conducting a literature review in mathematics education.
Methodology – Systematic review was made with a focus on the potential benefits of comics for education, in particular, on developing students’ motivation for learning and facilitating their knowledge retention.
Findings – We further demonstrate with an exemplar the use of the framework in designing one set of comics-based instructional material for lower secondary mathematics lessons on mensuration.
Significance and Contribution in Line with Philosophy of LSM Journal – An exemplar of a comics-based instructional material designed according to the PATH-CoHANa framework.
Keywords: Comics; Education; Mathematics; Design principles for comics instruction
