This descriptive qualitative case study focused on the assessment of the teaching of Calculus at senior secondary school level in Chinsali district of Zambia. The study was motivated by the Zambian School certificate candidates’ poor performance in questions based on the newly introduced topic of...

This was a qualitative case study which investigated mathematics teachers’ pedagogical practices in the context of learners’ mathematical proficiency with a focus on selected algebraic concepts. Three secondary schools were purposively selected as well as four mathematics teachers who...

Good classroom practices in algebraic word problems by teachers at junior secondary school level are crucial if learners are to build a strong foundation in mathematics. Algebra is important as it is a pre-requisite to nearly all forms of mathematics. Many scholars analysed learners’ errors in...

Since the Outcomes-Based Mathematics Teacher Education Syllabus (OBMTES) was introduced at Junior Secondary Teachers‘ Diploma (JSTD) level in 2016 not much is known regarding how it is being implemented, a scenario which would make it problematic to attribute continued poor competence in...

Poor essential workings in Mathematics is an attribute of poor problem solving processes. The study explored learners’ problem solving processes in Calculus at Grade 12 level. Calculus was introduced when the curriculum was revised in 2013 and involves basic differentiation and integration at...
