Item Students’ Van Hiele Level of Geometric Thought and Its Relationship to Their Achievement in Mathematics(Faculty of Education Mathematic, 2017) Thapa, RashmaThis is a research study has been carried out to find out van Hiele level of geometric thinking of grade X students and its relationship to their achievement in mathematics and teachers’ perspectives on van Hiele level of geometric thinking. Using mixed method research design focusing on survey approach, the researcher used stratified random sampling method to select 4 secondary school and 203 students were sample of the study of Tanahun district. Four mathematics teachers of respective schools’ were interviewed in detail about their view on van Hiele level of geometric thinking with respect to subject difficulty, level access, attitude toward teacher training and geometry teaching. Van Hiele geometric test (VHGT) was used as a main tool for the data collection and school examination in mathematics (SEM) was second tool. The data obtained from van Hiele Geometric Test of each student and score of students were obtained from schools’ record and interview has been analyzed descriptively. The participated students were asked to respond on 20 multiple choice questions, each question contents 5 multiple answers to test VHGT. Analysis of both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from the respondents, it has been found that, the participations were at low van Hiele geometric thinking levels, at level 3 which is quite difficult than level 1 and 2 and absence at level 4 shows that the students had difficulty in dealing concerning class inclusion and the relationship between the properties of various simple geometric shapes and between different shapes. The teachers perspective on VHGT found that method and teaching procedure is easy in level ‘0’, ‘1’,and ‘2’ than ‘3’ and ‘4’. Students’ VHGT scores were found to be significantly correlated with their SEM scores. This means that who did well in VHGT did just as well in the SEMItem Writing Proficiency of Grade Nine Students of Bardiya and Kaski Districts(Faculty of English Education, 2012) Parajuli, Santu DeviIn the thesis entitled "Writing Proficiencyof Grade NineStudentsof Bardiyaand Kaski Districts," the researchercollected the data by distributing test itemstothesixty students from differentselectedschools of Bardiya and Kaskidistricts. The datawere analyzed in order to find out the proficiency in writingofgrade ninestudents.The researcher analyzed the data according to the testitems, the researcher compared the writing proficiency of grade nine studentsof Bardiya and Kaski districts with the help of average marks obtained by thestudents, the researcher analyzed the data on the basis of gender. Theresearcher at first, compared the average marks of boys and girls of Kaskidistrict and then Bardiya district. The researcher again compared theaveragemarks of boys of Bardiya and Kaski districts and then average marks of girls ofBardiya and Kaski districts.On the basis of the findings,somerecommendations have been made to improve the existing pedagogicalsituation. Thethesisconsists of four chapters.Chapter one is introductionwhichincludesgeneral background, literature review, objectivesandsignificance of the study.Chapter two deals with the methodology applied to conduct the research. Thischapter consists of sources of data, sampling procedure, tools of datacollection, process of data collection and limitations of the study. Thenon-random judgmental samplingprocedurewasused for choosing samplepopulation. Test items were the major tools of data collection. Chapter threeconsists of analysis and interpretation of the collected data. Theanswerswrittenby the students were analyzed with the help of tables and figures. TheChapter four deals with the findings and recommendations of the study.Findings were dragged out of the interpreted data and some recommendationsand pedagogical implications are provided. References and Appendices havebeen included in the final section ofthethesis.
