Abstract

The necessity for establishing links between school mathematics and students' personal lives and cultures, as enshrined in the ethnomathematics program, is being recognized and investigated in different regions across the globe. However, a comprehensive understanding of the antecedents that drive the integration of ethnomathematical perspectives into mathematics teaching among mathematics teachers is still limited. This cross-sectional survey aimed to address this gap by investigating whether the explanatory variables (such as gender, teaching experience, and religion) predict the mathematics teacher educators’ incorporation of the mathematics found outside of school into geometry teaching. We included a sample of 128 mathematics teacher educators in the survey through non-probability sampling. A logistic regression model was employed to analyze the data garnered using a web-based questionnaire. Based on the findings, all three explanatory variables (gender, teaching experience, and religion) did not predict mathematics teacher educators’ incorporation of mathematics found outside of school into geometry teaching. The findings would help key actors of mathematics education to re-examine their beliefs and practices about the incorporation of ethnomathematical perspectives into teaching that builds on students’ socio-cultural experiences. Implications for teaching and future research are reported.

Abstract

This study sought to investigate in-service mathematics teachers’ knowledge of differentiated instruction in junior high schools in Tano South Municipality of Ghana. The study adopted an explanatory sequential mixed method design. We employed a sample of 50 JHS mathematics teachers comprising 41 general in-service teachers and 9 special in-service teachers in the quantitative study through a proportionate stratified sampling technique. In the qualitative phase, 6 JHS mathematics teachers comprising 4 general in-service teachers and 2 special in-service teachers were purposively selected and interviewed. In line with the design adopted, the quantitative data obtained through a questionnaire was first collected and analysed. This was followed by the qualitative data obtained through semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data were analysed using both descriptive statistical tools (such as frequency counts, percentages, mean, standard deviation, and average per item rating), and inferential statistical tools (independent samples t-test). Qualitative data used inductive content analysis. Among the findings, we found no statistically significant difference in the knowledge scores on differentiated instruction for general in-service teachers and special inservice teachers (t = -0.80, df = 48, p > 0.05). We, therefore, recommend teacher education institutions review their mathematics curriculum to reflect the use of differentiated instructional approaches among mathematics teachers.
