Item A Comparitive Study of the Mathematics Achievement of SLC Result of Kaski and Tanahun Districts of Nepal(Faculty of Education, 2011) Poudel, NarshovaThis research was carried out in Kaski and Tanahun districts both representing the hilly area but kaski is the one of the biggest city of Nepal and Tanahun is neighbouring district of Kaski, backward district in comparison to Kaski. This research was done for the mathematics achievement of those regular students, who appeared in SLC examination from 2061 to 2065. All the students are categorized accordingly to different variables such as gender (boys and girls), area (Rural and Urban) and caste (Janajati and Gair-Janajati). The number of boys and girls students from rural area and urban area and Janajati and Gair-Janajati are respectively 450 and 450,300 and 300, 280 and 300 from Kaski . Similarly, above variable are measured as 450 and 450, 400 and 400, 300 and 300 from Tanahun district respectively. This research was carried out considering marks scored by the regular students in compulsory mathematics is SLC examination from 2061 to 2065. Secondary data were collect from related schools and District Education Offices of Kaski and Tanahun. On the basis of achievement test scores after analysis and interpretation based on the above data the researcher found the following findings. i. Significant difference in mathematics achievement has been inspected between all variable (boys and girls, urban and rural, Janajati and Gair-Janajati) of Kaski. ii. No significant difference in mathematics achievement has been inspected between all variable (boys and girls, urban and rural, Janajati and Gair-Janajati) of Tanahun. iii. No significant difference in mathematics achievement was found in Boys students, Girls students, Rural students, Gair-Janajati students between Kaski and Tanahun districts. But other variables, have signicicant difference in achievement of SLC results in mathematics students between Kaski and Tanahun districts. iv. Significance different observed between the students of Kaski and Tanahun while comparing them as a whole. v. By using ANOVA test, it is found significant difference between the achievement of each variable and between the each yearly result of these variables of both Kaski and Tanahun.Item Factors Affecting Students Low Enrollment in Mathematics(Faculty of Education Mathematic, 2017) Khadka, Dhalak BahadurMathematics is the one of the important subjects in human life. It is widely used to solve the daily life problems. However, most of the students fear from the mathematics and feel that is it difficult to grasp. The study entitled “Factors Affecting Students Low Enrollment in Mathematics” is a qualitative in descriptive nature attempts to identify the factor affecting students’ low enrollment in mathematics at bachelor level and to dig out the possible way to enhance the enrollment of students in mathematics. To achieve this objective interview guidelines with campus chief, mathematics teacher, students and parents as well as observation form was conducted to collect primary data from Deukhuri Multiple Campus, Lamahi, Dang. For this researcher had taken total 16 students from different aspects as from those who were 4 mathematics, 2 non mathematics and 10 shifted other subject from mathematics.. The obtained data was developed on conceptual understanding of the study and then data was analyzed by weighted mean using three Likert scale. Problem related to prior knowledge, teacher efficiency, assessment system, course difficulty and out of content but contextual factor with physical facilities, awareness and plans of parents, home environment, students’ regularity and problem related to administration. This study is based on current issue as to why the bachelor level of mathematics education is severally facing crises of students’ enrollment. Lack of prior knowledge, teacher efficiency, assessment system, course difficulty and out of content but contextual factor with physical facilities, awareness and plans of parents, home environment, students’ regularity and problem related to administration are causative factor in reducing the enrollment of the students. Similarly, poor job market, impact of peers and society and less responsible factor for low students’ enrollment.Item Letter Grading System: Perceptual Difference Andstudent's Motivation to Learn Mathematics (A Case Study)(Department of Mathematics Education, 2015) Paneru, Tara NathThe present study "Letter Grading System: Perceptual Difference and Student's Motivation to learn Mathematics" is carried out to find out the perceptual difference among mathematics teachers, students and parents towards letter grading system (LGS) in relation to improve student's mathematics achievement and analyze/explain the effects of LGS in motivating students to learn mathematics. The design of the research was case study taking introduction of letter grading event as a case. The two schools one private and one public school in which one group of students was evaluated under letter grading system in technical SLC courses as the site of the case study. Focus group discussions among four groups of students each including 8 members, documents and records of TSLC result 2071 of selected school , in-depth personal interview with mathematics teachers, students and parents of both schools were the methods used to collect information. The collected information were systematized and analyzed descriptively by transcribing, translating, coding, categorizing into broader themes, triangulating and connecting with Maslow's Hierarchy of Need Theory and Holland Theory of Career Choice. The results of the study show that there is common and positive perception among respondents regarding LGS. However, there were found some extreme cases of suspicion and dissatisfaction with the system. Fare and justice to the students to get their potential status and opportunity to go further in the study of their field of interest and capacity was the commonly accepted perception towards the LGS system. The differences in perception was seen due to orientation and knowledge to this system and also the age long cultural tradition of pass fail and scores reporting system. The reader from this study can find explanation of how different categories of the students and teachers make beliefs and attitudes towards LGS and how this system is supportive to create interest and motivation towards learning mathematics. The implication of the results of this study is that merely change of the measurement system without proper discussion, sufficient dissemination to the stakeholders regarding converting marks and percentage into letter at the last stage of typing mark-sheet neither motivate students to learn mathematics and improve iv student's mathematical achievement nor solve the current educational problem. For the improvement, dissemination of proper information through training, orientation, seminar for the teachers for how to practice LGS inschool evaluation system and awareness programs for the students and parents to avoid the misconceptions, misunderstandings, illusions and negative perceptions about LGS is necessary.Item Mathematics Teachers' Perception Towardsuse of Teaching Manual(Department of Mathematics Education, 2019) Bhatt, Nabin RajNot available
