Abstract

This study explored grade 12 learners’ graphical efficacy when solving problems involving trigonometric graphs. A structured test consisting of five trigonometric problems, with variations in context and structure, was administered to a purposefully selected group of 25 Grade 12 learners from the Sekhukhune District in South Africa. Insights into learners' graphing efficacy were obtained through task-based interviews. Data were analysed using direct interpretation which involved deductive thematic analysis of the task-based interviews and content analysis of the test scripts to match learners’ responses to the themes drawn from the Meta-Representational Competence (MRC) framework. The results showed that most learners lack invention and functioning, critiquing and reflection efficacies and hence this affected their drawing and interpretation of the graphs and consequently lead to incorrect solutions.  Furthermore, the results show most learners have critiquing efficacy. This indicates that learners lack graphical efficacy for solving trigonometric problems involving trigonometric functions. This finding has pedagogic implications: the apparent lack of graphical efficacy in graphical solutions may suggest inadequate mastery of the concept. Therefore, this study recommends that the teaching and learning of trigonometric graphs should consider the development of invention, functioning, critiquing and reflection efficacies.

Abstract

This study explored Grade 12 learners’ misconceptions and errors when solving inequalities. A test on Inequalities was administered to a randomly selected sample of 50 Grade 12 learners in Sekhukhune District, South Africa. A rubric was used to guide the assessment and scoring of learners’ scripts. Ten (10) learners were purposively selected  based  their  test  responses for interviews to explain their errors, misconceptions and reasoning. Results indicated that learners’ errors are due to misunderstandings from prior learning and insufficient mathematical content knowledge. Misconceptions and errors recorded from learners’ work include: learners solved inequalities as equations, treated inequality signs as an equal sign, and multiplying both sides of inequalities involving fractions by a variable. Learners had challenges in  presenting solutions of  inequalities using graphical and number lines. The study recommends that teachers should make an effort to understand learners’ thought processes and use this understanding to anticipate learners’ misconceptions and errors and prescribe remediation corrective strategies.

This qualitative study analyzes students' mathematical communication while solving minimum competency assessment-type questions concerning their levels of math anxiety. The study involved 27 students in class VII B at Junior high school, with six junior high school students as subjects. Data were gathered through math anxiety questionnaires, tests with minimum competency assessment question types, and student presentation assessment sheets. The completed questionnaire was used to select subjects for the tests and presentations. The test sheet contains questions on the AKM type of flat material and three description questions. The data were analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion stages. Findings indicate that students' math anxiety levels were high, medium, and low, with moderate anxiety being the most common. While no students showed low mathematical communication skills, three students were found to have average skills, and three students demonstrated high mathematical communication abilities.

Abstract

The study looked into i) the relationship that exists between test anxiety and secondary school students’ academic performance in Mathematics. ii) Whether there is difference between the academic performances of students with high and low test anxiety levels in mathematics. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. A correlation survey design was adopted. The study population consisted of 42,299 senior secondary two (SS2) students offering mathematics 2021/2022 in Delta State, Nigeria and 1,650 of those students were selected using a multistage sampling procedure. Mathematics Test Anxiety Questionnaire (MTAQ), which was validated by three experts, was used as the instrument for data collection which had Cronbach Alpha coefficient of 0.69. The students’ achievement scores in Mathematics in SS1 for 2021/2022 session represent their performance scores in the subject. Pearson product moment correlation was used to analyze the collected data. The study’s findings revealed there was a negative correlation and also majority of the students experienced high test anxiety. There was no significant connection between test anxiety and students’ academic performance in mathematics. Also, there was a significant difference between students with high and low anxiety, and their academic performance in mathematics. In light of the findings, it was recommended among other things, that mathematics teachers, school guidance counsellors should make a concerted effort to reduce the test anxiety of their students through proper teaching and conditioning and modeling the behavior of the students for better mathematics performance.

Abstract

Populations in informal settlements grapple with poor living conditions and inability to access quality education. Expenditure behaviour especially on short term basis is one of the major causes of poverty as majority live from hand to mouth and not in position to provide their children with education. This study applied canonical correlation used in a wide range of disciplines to analyse the relationship between short term expenditure and poverty levels. The main objective was to establish the relationship between short term expenditure and poverty levels among residents of informal settlements, assess the impact of this behaviour on education and propose possible mitigation strategies to the problem. Results indicate that people in informal settlements spend as much as they earn or even more on short term basis. Therefore, they cannot save for projects, invest and educate their children. This keeps the families in unending circus of poverty in all generations.

Abstract

Methodology case studies plays a pivotal role in STEM education, especially in teaching undergraduate algebra. This article emphasizes the power of real-world scenarios and active pedagogy, a student-centered approach that makes abstract algebraic ideas tangible. The Anthropological Theory of Didactics (ATD) is spotlighted as a perspective that treats mathematical knowledge as a cultural artifact, embedding mathematics concepts deeply within cultural and historical contexts. By comparing active pedagogy with ATD, the article unveils a compelling overlap that values the significance of context in learning. Students don't just engage actively but also delve into the cultural essence of mathematical problems, gaining a profound understanding. Addressing the hurdles undergraduates face in transitioning from high school algebra to university level, the article suggests activities that merge active pedagogy and ATD. This holistic approach has the potential to transform algebra education into a more engaging, relevant, and culturally resonant experience.

Abstract

Blended hybrid mathematics instruction offers the flexibility of online learning and the engagement of face-to-face interaction. However, research on student participation in these learning environments needs to be improved. This study investigated the dynamics of student participation, focusing on four key dimensions: conceptual understanding, mathematical communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking and analysis. A survey of 158 BS Mathematics students revealed that online learners tended to exhibit a higher level of conceptual understanding. At the same time, face-to-face interactions enhance problem-solving skills and stimulate more remarkable development of critical thinking and analytical abilities. Mathematical communication skills were somewhat constrained in both settings, with face-to-face students displaying slightly higher participation. These findings underscore the importance of considering the diverse dimensions of student participation when delivering online and hybrid mathematics courses. Educators should provide opportunities for students to hone and cultivate essential skills across online and face-to-face contexts, thus enriching their learning experience.
