Abstract

The world of today is predominantly shaped and controlled by the overwhelming influence of science andtechnology with the study of mathematics as a pivot. This is perhaps in recognition of the indispensablerole of mathematics in realizing the nation’s dream of rapid scientific and technological development. Thisalso portends the fact that the triangle of science, technology and mathematics should be vigorouslypursued by the Nigerian government. However, Nigeria’s effort to promote scientific and technologicalliteracy are not yet yielding the required dividends because basic strategies for teaching mathematics havebeen down-played by various government agencies. Despite the bare fact that Nigerian children still shyaway from the study of mathematics, issues in mathematics teaching strategies such the use of qualifiedteachers, teacher motivation by incentives and computer aided instructions should be adequatelyimplemented. This paper addressed the issues of strategies for teaching and sustaining mathematics as anindispensable tool for technological development in Nigeria. Some innovative teaching strategies weresuggested for demystifying mathematics in the Nigerian classroom. They include the strategy ofconstructivism, groupings into students’ ability and the use of instructional aids and games. The paperconcluded that if the various strategies of stimulating the interest of students in the teaching and learningof mathematics are put to use in any country, including Nigeria, a great deal of change may be seen.

Abstract

This paper harped on human capital development in science, technology and mathematics education withspecial reference to its implications for sustainable development in Africa. The usefulness and relevance ofscience, technology and mathematics education to sustainable development in African Nations are nolonger in doubt. Therefore any nation that plays with these indices plays with her own development.America is a super power today because she has been able to transfer her science into technology. Thiscould also be done in Africa through effective and efficient development of STM human capital. This paperdiscussed the rational for human capital development in STM education, the economic implications ofhuman capital development in STM education and the attendant suggestions to improve human capitaldevelopment in the STM programme in Africa.
