A study on Problems faced by students and teachers in teaching-learning activities on vector in Parbat district

Abstract

Mathematics is an important subject which is taught at every level of our country and has significant place in curriculum. This thesis has been intended to identify the cause of becoming and facing problems by teachers and students on vectors teaching- learning. This is a case study about facing problems by teachers and students on vectors teaching- learning activities of additional Mathematics. It is qualitative research as well as descriptive in nature. For this purpose researcher selected only two government school: one from rural area and other from the urban area as the sample school of Parbat district. The respondents are mathematics teachers; students, head teachers and parents, The tools used in data collection procedure are class observation, face to face interview and recorded history of schools. The findings of this study have found out on the basis of data analysis and interpretation of the result, Being faced problems on vectors teaching learning are related to instruction, methods, materials, pre -knowledge of students and activities of teachers' and students. The negative attitude, beliefs and less interest of students of vector learning, also poor evaluation technique are problems on vectors learning. The above problems are becoming on vectors teaching learning due to students' weak pre- knowledge about vectors and poor geometrical background, Teachers do not access modern teaching techniques, methods and materials at vectors leaching, Vector learning seems to be exam oriented rather than practical oriented or its application, Lack of students' project works on vectors learning, Vector being an abstract subject matter and also, it is a new concept; so it is difficult to create interest on students. Due to poor evaluation system, careless of schools' administration and non- effective learning management' both teachers and students faced problems on vector teaching learning,
