Abstract

This study investigated the effects of instructional materials in secondary schools in Ogun State and how the student attitudes towards mensuration affect the student’s academic achievement. Three research questions and three null hypotheses guided the study. The quasi-experimental research design was employed to conduct the study. A sample of 65 was drawn from the population of senior secondary school students in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria. The instruments used to collect data were Mathematics achievement tests and attitude questionnaires. The pre-test was administered to both experimental and control groups and later the post-test. The researcher also administered the questionnaire to the participants. The reliability of the Likert-scale sections of the data obtained was determined by computing Cronbach’s alpha values The research questions were answered descriptively using mean and standard deviation while the hypotheses were tested inferentially at a 0.05 level of significance using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The result showed that students taught using instructional materials understood the concept of mensuration better than those taught with traditional/conventional methods. There was also a significant difference between the mean gain of students taught using instructional materials and those taught using traditional methods. There was no significant difference between students understanding the concept of mensuration when taught with traditional/conventional methods. It was recommended among others that mathematics teachers adopt instructional methods of teaching by using a variety and stimulating materials that instill in learners’ confidence, enthusiasm, and interest in mensuration that leads to greater achievement.

Abstract

This study examined the teacher  factors as a prognosticator of lower Basic school pupils' performance in Mathematics. 120 Mathematics teachers in Eight lower Basic schools were involved in the study. The research instrument used was a validated structured questionnaire using the Likert four-point measurement scale. The data collected were analysed using simple percentages and Chi-Square formula. The results of the study showed that teaching qualification has a significant effect on teachers' performance in Mathematics. It was revealed that teaching experience influences teachers' teaching process which directly improves teaching performance in class. In addition, subject mastery of lower Basic school Mathematics teachers highly influences their teaching performance which directly influences pupils' performance in Mathematics. Furthermore, the analysis displayed that teachers' commitment has a significant influence on teaching performance in lower Basic schools. The study recommended that lower Basic school teachers be aware of the influence that their teaching experience and academic qualification on their teaching performance and the performance of pupils. Also, education policy makers are advised give adequate attention to teachers' qualification, work experience and mastery of subject of specialisation in education policy considering their influence on teaching process in lower Basic school environments.

Abstract

This study examined students’ perceptions of peer mentoring and mathematics anxiety among senior secondary school students in Nigeria. The study explores students' attitudes toward participating in peer mentoring programmes. Descriptive statistical techniques were used to answer the research questions. The findings of this study revealed that a significant proportion of students strongly agreed that the mentoring programme was transformative and provided unique learning opportunities for academic performance. It was further revealed that the mentoring programme had a remarkable effect on reducing mathematics anxiety. Therefore, it was recommended that the Nigerian government should encourage the expansion and continuity of peer mentoring programmes in schools. It also suggested that there should be training and ongoing professional development for mentors.
