Exploring the Participation of Students in Mathematics Learning

Abstract

This thesis entitled “Exploring the Participation of Student in Mathematics Learning” is an attempt to study how students are take parting or engaging in mathematics learning. It focuses on the way of engagement of the students in mathematics learning at school and out of the school. According with time Nepal’s also changing in its political, social and cultural aspect. Rapid urbanization and interest of people to live in urban culture is increasing. Now a day the people are becoming aware about their education, health, employment, development etc. that’s why people are developing their society according as their will.

Thus for the effective and productive education system research can plays the vital role to manipulate the education in path of development of nation. The study aims to examine the learners in mathematics learning regarding on their participation like engaging fashion, way of involvement, exposure, learning style in and outside the school and the affect of mathematics education in their learning activities in mainstream education system of Nepal. Mainly the study focuses on the how the students are acting or take parting in mathematics education as being the focal point of the education system.

Particularly in case of mathematics learning students are not taking commonly and they are performing uncomfortably. There have been shown some of the hurdles in mathematics learning. This research suggests for concerned bodies which can be removed by clever compilation of the components of mathematics learning.
