Item Difficulties in Learning Mathematics of Tamang Students(Department of English Education, 2022) Woiba, Men KumarThis study focused on the difficulties in learning mathematics of Tamang students of grade X at Shree Annapurna Secondary School, Khoplang in Gorkha district. The objectives of this study was to explore the difficulties and analyze the causes of difficulties in learning mathematics of Tamang students. This study was qualitative in nature with case study research design. Six Tamang students, parents of the selected students, one head teacher and one mathematics teacher of the selected school were samples of this study selected by using purposive sampling method. I used in-depth interview, class room observation form, written documents and interview guidelines to collect the data and information for this study. I used thematic and triangulation method with the "Cultural difference and discontinuity theory" of John Ogbu to interpret the information and to get the conclusion. From this study, I found that Tamang students were facing the difficulties on concept, process, memorization and symbols of mathematics. The causes that makes difficulties in learning mathematics were cultural difference and discontinuity at home and school, lack of interpersonal relation, home environment of the Tamang students, parents education and low economic condition of the family. The main causes of the difficulties in learning mathematics of Tamang students is irregularity at the school. I want to suggest some ideas to reduce the difficulties in learning of mathematics of Tamang students. The school should provide hostel facilities, scholarships and provide extra time and support for the students. Mathematics teacher should use student-centered teaching method in the classroom and have to give proper feedback and guidance for the weak students individually. Parents should manage the educational environment at the home.Item Learning difficulties of Tamang students in mathematics in culturally diverse classroom(Department of Mathematics Education, 2022) Tamang, Suk BahadurThe title of this study is “Learning Difficulties of Tamang Students in Mathematics in Culturally Diverse Classroom”. The objectives of this study were to find the Causes of learning difficulties of Tamang students in mathematics in culturally diverse classroom and to minimize the difficulties of Tamang students in learning mathematics in culturally diverse classroom. This was a case study, which is qualitative in nature as well as descriptive and exploratory in nature. I selected the sample size of the five Tamang students from grade eight, one mathematics teacher, one head teacher, three parents. My research site was Shree Ichok Secondary School, Helambu-6, Sindhupalchok district. I used questionnaire, semi-structured interview and observation tools for data collection. The data from interviews were taken though asking direct question to students, parents, peers, teachers, head teacher about their experiences, opinions, feelings, participate extra -curricular, Tamang students achievement, result, skill and knowledge. The data were analyzed by using cultural different and discontinuity theory for qualitative data. The major findings were parents of Tamang students do not fulfill their basic needs, buy book, pencil etc. Do not understand the values of education, motivation in household works than instructional works irregularity and non-participation of Tamang students in classroom activities and less interest of study were major influencing factors in mathematics achievement. Further, family background of Tamang is very low so it influences all the sectors. It was concluded that home environment is the most important factors which influence mathematics learning of Tamang children. To make the appropriate environment for the Tamang family, parents guidance, counseling, positive culture and regular attendance in school contribute to Tamang student's good achievement in mathematics.Item Perception and Use of Information and Communication Technology by Tamang Students in Learning English(Department of English Education, 2018) Tamang, HermbuThe use of Information and Communication Technology is gradually being practiced in the field of English language teaching and learning in Nepalese schools. It is considered to be of a phenomena importance in English language teaching and learning. Therefore, the present study entitled Perception and Use of Information and Communication technology by Tamang Students in Learning English aimed to explore the perception of Tamang students of English on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in learning English. This study also explored the use of ICT by secondary level (Grade 11-12) Tamang learners in their English language learning.

I constructed a questionnaire and interview guidelines to collect data from the field. I selected forty Tamang students as a sample for this study following non-probability sampling procedure to secure their participation in this study. Preliminarily constructed tools were used on forty Tamang students of Kathmandu valley who were studying in secondary grades (Grade 11-12). I also conducted focused group discussion to explore the use of ICT in learning English. This study found that Tamang students are positive towards the use of ICT in English learning. It also found that they are using ICTs for developing their English language engaging in various activities such as listening, speaking, reading and writing activities with the help of mobile, computer, and audio-video. Students learnt English language in their own way using ICTs wherever they go and live such as school and out of school. This thesis spreads in five chapters.
