Problems in Managing Mathematics Teaching/Learning Classroom

Abstract

The researcher made a thesis entitled "Problems in Managing Mathematics Teaching/Learning Classroom". The objectives of this study were to find out the problems in managing effective mathematics teaching/learning classrooms and seek out the ways of effective management of mathematical classroom for effective mathematics teaching. This study was based on explanatory sequential design under mixed method. The study was conducted in Kanchanpur district. Eight schools, five head teachers and twenty mathematics teachers were selected for sample by purposive sampling technique. Questionnaire, interview guideline and observation form were used as tools to collect necessary data. The researcher used mean as a statistical tool for analysis and interpretation of data collected from questionnaire and observation form. After analysis of the data, the researcher found that the course of mathematics was not complete in time. Lack of proper teaching materials and methods, unavailability of math lab and ICT lab, lack of ICT training for the teachers, lack of implementation of training skills in real classroom teaching, weak school administration are burning problems faced by mathematics teachers of secondary level in Kanchanpur district. But mathematics teachers always helped and provided guidance to their students in classroom practicing and treat equally to all the students in the learning process. From this study, it can be concluded that the management of mathematics teaching/learning classroom in Kanchanpur district are not satisfactory because there are lots of problems due to construction and purchase of teaching materials, due to the physical facilities, due to selection and use of teaching materials, due to the students behavior in the classroom, finally due to weak school administration etc.
