Abstract

This paper attempts to preview the connection of Bloom's taxonomy to Ghana's Senior High School mathematics curriculum. Mathematics is a vital tool for economic growth and national development as a STEM subject. Bloom's taxonomy, which presents a hierarchical model, helps educators teach school mathematics to enable students to acquire basic Knowledge known as order thinking (LOT) skills and develop higher-order thinking (HOT) skills. The analysis of the mathematics syllabus concerning Bloom's taxonomy revealed that the syllabus concentrates more on the three fundamental skills in Bloom's hierarchy of teaching and assessment. Remember 18.1%, Understand 33.3%, and Apply 29.8%, totalling 81.2%, leaving only 18.8% for the top three HOT skills. The study recommends that Ghana adopt a curriculum model that focuses on teaching transversal skills that can churn out informed citizens rather than putting students under the shackles of tests.

Abstract

This paper sought to determine if the Basic School Mathematics learning experience has any influence on the individual when it comes to program selection in higher education and career choice. The researcher employed a qualitative approach in order to obtain detailed information about the topic. This led to the adoption of the Narrative Paradigm, where one experienced person was interviewed to obtain first-hand information for analysis. It was revealed if a student develops an interest in mathematics at Basic School it improves their performance. More so such a student is more likely to enroll in mathematics-related courses as he or she moves higher on the academic ladder. It was also observed that if teachers adopt methods of teaching that are learner-centered, it motivates the learner to learn mathematics as an integral part of life but not as abstract information that needs to be chewed. The study confirmed that mathematics has various applications in the workplace, and knowledge of mathematics can be self-gratifying. The study makes the following recommendations; even though students learn as a group, the teacher must focus on the individual learners by giving them extra attention, teachers must be interested in what the students learn after school, and teachers must keep parents and guardians informed about the academic achievements progress of their wards.

Abstract

The study aimed to explore the prospects and challenges of teaching mathematics for social justice at Ghanaian Senior High Schools. A non-random sample of seven (7) respondents, including two experienced mathematics educators and five Senior High School students, were interviewed and analysed quantitatively using thematic analysis. The analysis revealed seven themes: individual differences, students' mathematics interests, participatory lessons, extracurriculars, non-interactive teaching, technology use and cultural diversity. These thematic findings are related to technical, practical, and emancipatory knowledge constituent interests in schools and Ghanaian social, cultural, and historical settings. A teacher should utilise egalitarian pedagogy so that the students will gain practical and emancipatory skills.
