Mathematics anxiety is a recurrent issue that has profound effect on students, particularly females. This study is aimed at exploring the effect of gender differences in mathematics anxiety on mathematics performance among students in some selected Senior High Schools (SHS) in Ghana. A cross-sectional survey was employed as the research design for...
Perception has been attributed as a major cause of students' weakness in mathematics. Hence, this study evaluates its effect on student’s performance in the area of mathematics as an elective subject in some selected Senior High School (SHS) in Ghana. Mixed method research design that employed questionnaire with closed-ended and open-ended items we...
The study discusses the impact of a nationwide deployment of Wi-Fi technology in some Senior High Technical Vocational Schools (SHTVs) in Ghana, using the first four levels of Guskey’s framework. A stratified sampling approach was used to select 119 teachers as participants in the study. An embedded mixed method research design was employed to coll...
The benefits of enacting lessons anchored on Cooperative learning (CL) in mathematics has been well documented. However, in particular, the effect of CL on the teaching of trigonometry is rare at the second cycled educational institutions. This study, therefore, is aimed at exploring the efficacy of CL in enhancing meaningful teaching and learning...
In this paper, we propose a teaching strategy to enhance the teaching and learning of trigonometry, called cooperative teaching and learning (CTL). The proposed method stems from the need of developing a pedagogical approach that promotes understanding and interest in the learning of trigonometry based on the cooperative learning (CL). This study t...
The study is aimed at enhancing pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and skills of in-service mathematics teachers (IMTs) using cooperative teaching and learning approach (CTLA). A sequential multiple case study was employed to develop eight IMTs knowledge and skills to design, develop, and enact lessons in trigonometry. The lessons were anchored on...
The use of social media and IT application tools as an alternative
pedagogical approach in higher educational institutions of learning
cannot be compromised. Considering their incalculable advantages
especially, in these times of the COVID-19 pandemic where closure of
schools characterised some of the mitigating factors which wedged
pedagogy. Nonet...
This study is aimed at exploring the correlation that exist between Ghanaian junior high school (JHS) students’ perception and attitude towards mathematics, taking into account the influence of both attitude and perception in the teaching and learning of mathematics. An adaptation of the WIHIC and MAQ questionnaires, which is widely-used in mathema...
The advent of technology has opened the frontiers of education, especially with the introduction of electronic learning (e-learning) in the field of pedagogy. However, many institutions are still emerging in e-learning deployment and are faced with complex challenges despite the existing potential for the effective development of e-learning. This c...
The study focused on improving the teaching and learning of trigonol1JPtry with cooperative teaching and learning approach (eTLA) to promote studentcentred approach to learning in Senior High School (SHS) classroom context in Ghana. The research approach for the study was design-based research (DBR), using qualitative and quantitative methods. The...
The public outcry about students’ poor performance in mathematics can be said to have gained currency in recent times, in the dailies in Ghana. The outcry has been fueled by the fact that Ghanaian eight graders have always been among the least performing in international assessments such as TIMSS. Since available literature is replete with the fact...
In recent times, there has been public outcry about students' poor performance in mathematics in Ghana. Since available literature is replete with the fact that students' perception of their mathematics classroom environment influences their participation in classroom activities and hence their mathematics achievement, this study was designed to ex...
