Item Causes of Low Achievement of Gurung Students in Mathematics(Department of Mathematics Education, 2020) Acharya, HomnathThis is a case study related to Cause of Low Achievement in Mathematics of Gurung Students in Gorkha district. The objective of this study were to explore causes that bring low achievement in mathematics of Gurung students, to identify the strategies taken by school for improving mathematics achievement and to find the mathematics learning environment of Gurung students at home and school at secondary level students. This is a qualitative study which followed case study design. Study was conducted with the sample size of four Gurung students (2 boys and 2girls) from grade X of the Shree Himali Secondary School in Gorkha. The students were selected on the basis of purposive sampling method. Tools of the data collection were interview with students, parents, mathematics teacher, teacher, Head teacher, school management committee and learning environment at home and school. To identify the strategies taken by school for improving mathematics achievement and the mathematics learning environment of Gurung students at home and school. Such collected information were analyzed descriptively according to the constructivism theory. The result of the study showed that different causes of low achievement of Gurung students in mathematics they were parents education and occupation, learning opportunity at home, culture and customs, teaching method, Interest of learner, encouragement and motivation towards them relation between students and teacher, language, assessment technique, household work, negative attitude of teachers towards Gurung students, communication gap with guardians.Item Knowledge, Attitude and Behaviour of secondary School Students on STIs and HIV/AIDS (A Case Study of Lalbandi and Patharkot Vdc of sarlahi District)(Department of Population Studies, 2012) Koirala, Naresh RajAvailable with Full TextItem A Study on Attitude of Secondary Level Students towards Mathematics in Tanahun District(Faculty of Mathematics Education, 2013) Adhikari, Hari RajThis study is mainly concerned with the attitudes of mathematic of secondary level students in Tanahun district. The collection of data for the study is done with the help of a list of questions entitled "A modified Fennema-Sherman Mathematics Attitudes Scale". The opinionnaire was distributed to 184 students of 14 schools: (7 from urban and 7 rural areas, among them 10from government and 4from private schools.) 'χ2- test' was applied to each item of a set of opinionnaire to find the opinion of boys and girls towards mathematics. The statistical tool 'z-test' was applied to compare the attitudes of boys and girls as well as the attitudes of rural and urban students towards mathematics. Both tests were applied at 0.05 'level of significant'. For the finalizing process, the study has been organized into five chapters. The first chapter deals with the introduction: background, significance, objectives limitations of the study, history of maths education, statement of problem, hypothesis and conceptual framework. The second chapter is review of literature conducted in this area. The third Chapter deals with the Methodology: design, sample, tools and population of the area of the study, procedures for data collection, scoring and analysis. The fourth one contains the results in the tabular form and its interpretation. The final chapter includes summary conclusion, major findings and recommendation. Finally Bibliography and Appendices are incorporated. On the basis of analysis and interpretation of the data, the following major findings were drawn: 1. The χ2-value of the all 48 statements is from 342.42 to 15.64 at the 0.05 level of significance which are greater than 9.488.So the secondary level students had positive attitude towards mathematics. 2. The average score and standard deviation of boys and girls attitude toward mathematics are 333.13, 343.44 and 42.64, 38.74 respectively. The z-value is-1.653 which is greater than tabulated value. So the secondary level boys and girls had similar attitude towards mathematics. 3. The average score and standard deviation of urban and rural student's attitude toward mathematics are 344.56, 330.39 and 41.38, 43.03 respectively. The z- value is 2.176 which is greater than the tabulated value 1.96. So the mean attitude scores of urban students are significantly different than that of rural students towards mathematics.
