Abstract

In line with international best practices, countries across the globe are intensifying their teacher education institutions to train world-class teachers to feed their schools. Against this background, this research work tried to determine how robust the admission process at the Presbyterian College of Education, Akropong, is. This is because admitting students into the College of Education is the first step in ensuring a sound teacher training program. The study was quantitative and used secondary data; that is, students' West Africa Senior High School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) entry results against their Final GPA at the College of Education were used for the data analysis. The analysis proved that those who entered the College of Education with good grades from the Senior High School exited with good GPAs, and the inverse was true. The researcher recommends that the college move beyond the regular training and put in measures to ensure that most students can improve their performance to be at par with the current demands of a world-class teacher.

Abstract

The motive of the study was to find factors that influence the teaching and learning of logarithms at the senior High schools in the Kwahu East Municipality. The study employed a descriptive survey where a questionnaire was administered to Eighty-Six (86) teachers. The sample was selected using the Census method. After the SPSS software was used to analyse the data, the descriptive analysis revealed that most teachers positively perceive logarithms. Factors influencing Senior High School mathematics teachers' teaching of logarithm were identified. Teachers believe that suitable teaching methods can influence students' perceptions. Strategies to encourage positive perceptions should be promoted among teachers, and recommendations include developing innovative methods for teaching logarithms in Senior High School mathematics.
