ABSTRACT
The use of appropriate pedagogy strategy approach plays an important role in ensuring effective teaching
and learning. This study was conducted to investigate effectiveness using ticket to leave (TOL) as tools to
obtain feedback from students. This study focused on two aspects that is to identify student’s current
level of understanding for basic integrations in Engineering Mathematics 2 at Politeknik Seberang Perai
and students' perceptions of the use of TOL. A total of 26 students from the second semester of
Mechanical Engineering Department in December 2016 sessions selected for this study. The study was
conducted for 2 weeks. At the end of class, students were given a TOL containing one or two short and
simple questions to get feedback of their understanding of class contents. A survey method which
involves distributing the questionnaire used to obtain student’s perceptions towards TOL. Data were
analyzed using IBM SPSS Version 22 software and quantitative method was used. The results of the
study shows 54.2% students exit the class with only one TOL for indefinite integral, 53.8% for definite
integral, 61.5% for reciprocal integral, 84.6% for exponent integral and 69.6% for substitution
integration. Results from the questionnaire shows majority of students agreed that TOL helped them to
reflect on class content, beneficial to them as a students and improve engagement in class. Teachers can
identify the degree of understanding or difficulties of students as TOL provide immediate feedback.
Thus, we can conclude that the use of TOL more practical and meaningful learning activities.

1. INTRODUCTION

The use of appropriate pedagogy strategy approach plays an important role in ensuring effective teaching
and learning. Formative assessment (FA) is a technique of assessment where students are given instant
feedback and provided with ideas on how to improve what they are doing. New material concerning the
problem-solving skills and capabilities of their students, and in turn notify teachers’ instruction can
provided for educators using formative mathematics assessments. Application of formative assessment
in mathematics class is to evaluate student comprehension and understanding immediately for whole
lesson or some part of it. Teachers can give feedback to student immediately in some cases. Since its
give immediate feedback to students and teacher, so teachers can update and regulate the lesson to
provide students the ideal learning experience. Some example of formative assessment is 3-2-1 exit
ticket, Classwork Trade, Create Your Own Test Questions and Clickers [1].

Exit Ticket or Ticket to leave is self-reporting strategy given to student at the end of class before they
leave. To formatively evaluate what students know, understand, and have learned during a current unit of
lesson, exit ticket can be implement on a regular basis. After collect the cards, exit cards are separated
into piles to showing students who have mastered and who need additional tutoring [2].

[3] states that exit ticket support Formative Assessment in three way. First, eliciting and interpreting
evidence through collect important data about a certain achievement measure or some element of the
