Transformation geometry, a core topic in secondary school mathematics, strengthens students' spatial reasoning and problem-solving skills. Students' attitudes toward transformation geometry significantly influence their engagement, motivation, and achievement in mathematics. However, existing attitude scales either focus on general mathematics/geom...
Geometry education plays a pivotal role in fostering analytical, spatial, and problem-solving skills among students. Nonetheless, there is still a problem with how well geometry training in Ugandan schools accomplishes these objectives and this is evident in the Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) examinations. To close this gap, a comprehensive...
This study investigates the alignment of transformation geometry learning outcomes with the Van Hiele levels of geometric reasoning within Uganda’s secondary mathematics curriculum. Using the Van Hiele model as a framework, the study evaluates whether the curriculum effectively supports students’ cognitive development in geometry. An analysis of th...
This study was conducted to characterize the effectiveness of employing video recordings as a teaching tool in mathematics in higher education, with a bid to minimize direct teacher-student interactions. The research employed an experimental design, utilizing pre-tests and post-tests with a sample of 45 randomly selected first-and second-year mathe...
This study investigates the effectiveness of Technology-Enhanced Van Hiele Phased Instruction (TVHPI) compared to Conventional Van Hiele Phased Instruction (CVHPI) in enhancing learners' conceptual understanding and procedural fluency in transformation geometry. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 144 secondary school learners from...
This article addresses the gap in understanding the integration of Indigenous materials and ICT tools in STEM teaching by secondary school teachers. Conducted within the Rwenzori region, the study assessed teachers' knowledge, experiences, attitudes, and readiness for integration using a mixed-methods approach involving quantitative data from 138 t...
Transformation geometry, a core topic in secondary school mathematics, strengthens students' spatial reasoning and problem-solving skills. Students' attitudes toward transformation geometry significantly influence their engagement, motivation, and achievement in mathematics. However, existing attitude scales either focus on general mathematics/geom...
The study was conducted to establish the relationship between communal resource mobilization and rural development in Kalungu district. It adopted a case study research design which was both quantitative and qualitative to describe data and its characteristics: 332 respondents were selected for research using simple random sampling and purposive sa...
The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between school-based practices and students' discipline in secondary schools. The school-based practices that were focused on were: Managing access procedures, managing students' identity and sensitisation of students on rules and regulations. The study adopted a correlational research...
The study aimed at describing university students’ ability in constructing mathematical proofs using logical arguments and constructing an effective teaching-learning map. The study adopted a correlational research design. An open-ended mathematics assessment involving questions on mathematical logic and construction of mathematical proofs was admi...
Mathematics is a key during teaching and school management; the relevance of teaching basic mathematics to the pre-service teachers at universities was investigated. A random sample of 80 pre-service teachers was used and a quantitative experimental design adopted. The results indicated that there was a significant difference at 0.05 level between...
This course unit introduces students to the concepts of mathematics that are the building blocks of mathematical reasoning and mathematical proofs. The course unit handles concepts such as logic, methods of proof, sets, functions, real number properties, sequences and series, limits and continuity and differentiation. Real analysis provides student...
This study investigated the major factors for students’ choice of a university in Uganda, using Mountains of the Moon University as a case study. In this study, 200 registered students were randomly selected and 200 students’ application forms from different course offered at Mountains of the Moon University were used. The results of the study show...
According to the National Assessment Program in Education (NAPE) report (2015), pupils' proficiency (achievement) level in mathematics (numeracy) is low at primary six. Also teachers are essential to pupils' achievement in mathematics; their characteristics such as commitment, qualification, teaching abilities are significant to pupils' levels of a...
We prove that the necessary condition, n≡0(mod 3), is sufficient for the existence of GDD(n,2,4;3,4) except possibly for n=18. We prove that necessary conditions for the existence of group divisible designs GDD(n,2,4;λ1,λ2) with equal number of even and odd blocks are sufficient for GDD(n,2,4;5n,7(n-1)) for all n≥2, GDD(7s,2,4;5s,7s-1) for all s, G...
