Abstract

The present study “Opinion of Teachers towards Semester System in Mathematics Education “is carried out to find the opinion of teachers towards semester system and problem of implementation of semester system in mathematics education. This study helps its stakeholders for the effective implementation. The research is prepared on theoretical and conceptual framework. The reseacher selected mixed approach, sequential and exploratory in design. The research was carried out from all the teachers of mathematics education and other faculties teachers of mathematics education. Data were analyzed qualitatively as quantitatively.
