    (Department Of Mathematics Education, 2018) Karna, Sumit
    This study focuses on the Achievement in mathematics and its cause.The main objectives of this study were to compare the achievement level of Badi andnon- Badi students in mathematics and to explore the causes that affect achievements in mathematics of Badi students. Main hypothesis was that there is no significant difference between mean achievement of Badi and Non Badi students. This study was a mixed research design approach conducted at Shree Sharda Secondary School, Shree Pravat Secondary School, Shree Chhinchu English Medium School and Deuti Vidya Mandir Sadan, Bheriganga municipality, Surkhet. I selected hundred students fromfourschools of both Badi and non-Badi castefor achievement test. I took interview four Badi students, two Badi parents,four mathematics teachers and four head teachers.I conducted observation of five mathematics classes.I analyzed and interpreted the data with the help of z-test,theories and some related literatures. From the study,it was found that there was significant difference between mean achievement of Badi and Non-Badi students.So,achievement in mathematics of Badi students were lower than non Badi students. It was found that the interests of learners, pre knowledge and teaching learning activities, motivation,physical facilities, school environment, home environment,parents education and culture and society were main causes of low achievements in mathematics.
