Abstract

This study is a quantitative research and used a correlational research design to investigate the relationship between pre-service teachers’ prior mathematics achievement (PA) at the senior high school and mathematics self-efficacy (MSEF) on learning and achievement in geometry and trigonometry in colleges of education. A sample of 449 pre-service teachers (264 males and 185 females) randomly selected from the population was used for the study. The result revealed a strong positive relationship between PA (r = 0.543), MSEf (r = 0.542), and geometry and trigonometry score. The study then concludes that the factors (PA, MSEf) have a positive relationship with geometry and trigonometry achievement. The study recommended that colleges of education should place much emphasis on pre-service teachers’ entry grade in mathematics when considering the requirement for admission.

Abstract

Information and communication technology (ICT) is crucial to the educational growth of any country and the academic interactions and collaborations of students. The study determined the extent of ICT application in chemistry instruction in Anambra State, Nigeria, secondary schools. This study uses a descriptive survey. A total of 133 students and 12 chemistry teachers as samples. The t-test was used to test the research hypothesis. The study's findings revealed a low extent of ICT application in teaching and learning chemistry in Anambra State, Nigeria. Moreover, both the chemistry teachers and students agree that ICT is applied to a low extent for teaching and learning chemistry in Anambra State, Nigeria. The study also revealed that the use of outdated computers; lack of technical assistance; lack of time; lack of computer hardware/software; lack of electricity; broken down computers; lack of internet or slow connectivity, and high cost of computers are some of the challenges of ICT application while the provision/maintenance of adequate ICT software and hardware, exposure of chemistry teachers to workshops and conferences and provision of uninterrupted internet services and power supply by the government among others were proffered as possible strategies to eliminate these challenges.

Abstract

The hidden curriculum comprises unspoken or implicit values, behaviors, procedures, and norms in an educational setting. This can be an alternative to empowering attitudes, values, ​​and non-cognitive skills, for example, politeness, honesty, hard work, cooperation, and tolerance in students during the implementation of curriculum innovations.. An alignment between the intended/official curriculum innovation implementation and the implemented curriculum innovation encourages the positive manifestation of the hidden curriculum. Negative manifestation of the hidden curriculum due to misalignment between intended/official curriculum innovation implementation and the implemented curriculum innovation makes the envisaged change through curriculum innovation implementation elusive, like a mirage that can never be caught. This paper critically discusses how the hidden curriculum may promote or hinder successful curriculum innovation implementation. Implications of the hidden curriculum to curriculum innovation implementation are also discussed.

Abstract

As the multimedia classroom gained enormous importance from the government of Bangladesh to modernize the educational system, this study initiated the objective to investigate the state of those classrooms at secondary schools. The study used a mixed-method approach with qualitative and quantitative data to explore the execution and possible improvements for those multimedia classes. Five secondary schools were selected purposively from each of the two districts named Sylhet and Cumilla. From these ten schools, hundred students and hundred assistant teachers were selected randomly to conduct ten focus group discussions (FGD) with each of the two groups. Moreover, ten interviews were conducted with the head teachers. Besides those, classrooms were observed while the multimedia was in use, along with a case study in a school. Although head teachers and assistant teachers mentioned many classes using multimedia, the students' words and observed class information gave alternative facts. Almost similar types of outcomes were found regarding digital content development, monitoring, and mentoring activities. While teachers were optimistic about the quality of digital content and classroom teaching, researchers found those to be less standard. In terms of monitoring the multimedia classroom, the majority of head teachers were more concerned about the number of multimedia used in the classroom due to administrative obligations than the quality.

Abstract

The relationship between the laboratory method of instruction, students' attitudes toward geometry, and gender on geometry performance was examined in this study. The investigation was conducted in the Jalingo metropolis of Taraba State, Nigeria. Both correlational and quasi-experimental designs were used in the investigation. The study included 160 Upper Basic School II pupils as its sample. Data were gathered using two instruments: the Geometry Achievement Test (GAT) and the Attitudes Toward Geometry Inventory (ATGI). The instruments were validated, and for the ATGI and GAT, respectively, their reliability indices were calculated to be 0.86 and 0.91. The results indicate that while student performance in geometry is inversely connected with the laboratory style of instruction, student attitudes toward geometry are positively correlated. It has been found that 56% of students' success in geometry may be predicted by factors such as their attitude toward mathematics, gender, and instructional strategies used in laboratories. According to the correlation statistics, the laboratory method accounts for 74% of student performance in geometry, gender for 9.6%, and attitude for 7.9%. To foster a good attitude toward geometry, it is recommended that the laboratory method of instruction be promoted in mathematics class.

Abstract

This research examined the correlation between test anxiety and chemistry students’ achievement. It also looked at the moderating effect of school location and gender on the correlation between these two variables. In the study, a descriptive survey design was used. Using stratified random sampling, 222 chemistry students from senior secondary schools were selected. The instruments used were test anxiety questionnaire and chemistry achievement test. Pearson correlation and coefficient of determination were used for data analysis. The study indicated a significant negative correlation between test anxiety and chemistry achievement among students. In addition, there was no correlation between test anxiety and students' performance in chemistry when school location and gender were moderated for. It was therefore concluded that an increase in students’ test anxiety will decrease their achievement in chemistry and vice-versa, irrespective of their school location and gender. Consequently, it was recommended, among others, that the teachers, parents, curriculum planners and education stakeholders use cognitive, affective and behavioural approaches to minimize students' test anxiety to increase their achievement.

Abstract

The current study investigated how self–assessment activity contributes to the development of EFL student writing skills. This study used qualitative and quantitative approaches to explore how in-service students develop their writing skill through this assessment. A total of 120 third-year students registered for taking writing course were purposively sampled. Pre and post intervention questionnaires were used to collect data from the all 120 subjects and focus group discussions were conducted with 10 subjects. Observation during the self-assessment activities was also among the tools used to collect data. The findings show that in-service students’ writing proficiencies can be improved through self-assessment activities. However, factors, including students’ awareness, their past practices and the difficulties related to the nature of writing can influence negatively on their performance.

Abstract

The study aims to investigate the issues embedded in the secondary-level teacher recruitment system from the structural perspective, which affect the motivation of the teaching profession, appointment and retention, and teacher development. The study applied the qualitative method and identified the issues that cause skill teacher shortage through causal relation analysis. The study used interviews with policymakers and administrators to identify the causes of the shortage of high-quality teachers in secondary institutions and discerned the solutions to ensure quality secondary education in Bangladesh. Adverse appointment and retention systems; and weak and stagnant teacher development facilities, were identified as the demotivating factors for taking the teaching profession. The solutions were found to enhance the attraction for teaching: firstly, by increasing salary, upholding teachers’ position in society and educational administration, and improving the working environment. The appointment and retention systems should be friendly by selecting and facilitating quality teachers. Lastly, a comprehensive and interconnected teacher development system should be initiated to ensure high-quality teachers at the secondary level.
