Exploring Teacher Quality Of Mathematics Teachers: A Case Study Of One Government-Aided Secondary School In Ajuri County, Alebtong District, Aracha Jackson
Theses & Dissertations
This research looked at a public secondary school's mathematics teachers in Ajuri County, Alebtong district. To determine how mathematics teachers' activities from the standpoint of mathematics teaching and learning in secondary schools represent teacher quality, the research study used a qualitative method with a case study design. Purposive sampling was used to get the school of study and the data was obtained from two mathematics teachers who were also purposively sampled from the teachers in the school through the use of structured and semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and observations. The recorded data obtained were then transcribed into text, and classified …

Theses & Dissertations
The study explored mathematics teachers’ practices in developing learners’ 21st-century competencies. The study objectives were to explore the understanding of mathematics teachers on the 21st-century competencies, examine the instructional practices the mathematics teachers use to develop the 21st-century competencies in the classroom, determine how mathematics teachers provide for the development of 21st-century competencies during planning, and determine extend to which mathematics teachers provide for the development of learners’ 21st-century competencies during assessment of learning outcomes. The study was carried out in a secondary school in Bidibidi refugee settlement, Yumbe district, Uganda. A qualitative approach was employed for carrying out the …
Investigating Students’ Conceptualization Of Linear Programming In Mathematics, A Case Of A Secondary School In Rachuonyo East Sub-County, Kenya, Opiyo Collince Oyaya
Investigating Students’ Conceptualization Of Linear Programming In Mathematics, A Case Of A Secondary School In Rachuonyo East Sub-County, Kenya, Opiyo Collince Oyaya
Theses & Dissertations
Mathematics is a compulsory subject in the Kenyan education system from pre-primary to secondary education. The ministry of education through the introduction of the 8-4-4 system of education in 1985 made Mathematics compulsory owing to its vast application in a wide range of spheres and professions. It is argued that proficiency in mathematics propels both economic and technological advancements. To further enhance delivery in this subject area, the ministry of education initiated SMASSE for science and mathematics teachers to help in simplifying the ‘high order’ concepts such as calculus, loci, and linear programming among others. Linear programming is applicable in …
Exploring The Use Of Concrete Materials In Teaching And Learning Of Fractions In Grade Three: A Case Study Of A Public Primary School In Homa-Bay County, Kenya, Ouma Patrick Okoth
Exploring The Use Of Concrete Materials In Teaching And Learning Of Fractions In Grade Three: A Case Study Of A Public Primary School In Homa-Bay County, Kenya, Ouma Patrick Okoth
Theses & Dissertations
Learners who struggle with mathematics may have difficulties in comprehending the core ideas in mathematics. The concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) instructional sequence of teaching allows teachers to assist pupils in making sense of numbers and the mathematical concepts they represent. The use of concrete materials is critical in the teaching of mathematics to young children; they are the major instruments that early childhood teachers use to train young learners in their mathematics classes today. To encourage the use of concrete materials in mathematics instruction, this research investigates how mathematics teachers use concrete materials in the teaching and learning of mathematics, as well …

Investigating The Effect Of Assessment Feedback On Student's Learning And Performance In Mathematics: A Case Of Two Community Secondary Schools In Moshi Municipality, Tanzania, Alex Mlemba
Theses & Dissertations
Performance in basic mathematics in secondary schools at CSEE has been on decline for many years. Several factors such as family support, myth, beliefs about mathematics as well as teaching and learning strategies have been associated with this poor performance. Assessment feedback being at the centre of formative assessment is among the factors that directly influence teaching and learning process. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of assessment feedback on students learning and performance in mathematics in form three secondary classrooms in Moshi Municipality. The study explored the nature of assessment feedback used by teachers, perceived effect of feedback on …
Mathematics Teachers’ Preparedness To Teach In A Virtual Classroom: Focus On Covid-19 Impact On Education, Jemimah Wangui Ng'ang'a
Mathematics Teachers’ Preparedness To Teach In A Virtual Classroom: Focus On Covid-19 Impact On Education, Jemimah Wangui Ng'ang'a
Theses & Dissertations
Virtual classroom is a “web-based online environment that delivers course materials to learners and provides collaboration and interaction” (Subramaniam & Kandasamy, 2011, p.1) opportunity as well as support the learners’ independent study. Virtual classroom facilitates virtual learning in a virtual learning environment (VLE). In the recent times virtual learning has become inevitable especially considering the situation where learners are supposed to be home for a longer period than usual. This has been evident with the outbreak of corona virus COVID-19, by the beginning of the year 2020 the disease had spread to other parts of the world thus paralyzing a …
