Problems on Teaching Numerical Integration

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find the problem faced by mathematics teachers on teaching numerical integration and also find the major causes related to the problem in teaching numerical integration which are facedby Mathematics teacher at grade XII. The mixed design was adopted to conduct the study for convenience. The previous study of research reports and journal were guide to the study.The sample was composed of 60 math teacher working in public and institutional school. The researcher made tools :Opinionnaireform and Interview Schedule. . The researcher categorized the problem into following: Problem related to content, materials, class management, professional development, administration. The researcher found that there are various problems that cause teachers inefficient and enthusiastic to execute duty properly in the classroom. Most of the problem faced byteacher showed lack of participate in training and workshop, lack of language, teaching material are not easily available, poor economic status of the school, student use to much mobile internet, face book, school time and out of school time, very tight budget of the school, lack of support to mathematics teaching material by the administration, lack of teachers preparing lesson plan daily, lack of availability of the journal. Based on the finding and the conclusion from this study, the following recommendation is developed : teacher should use proper material and prepare lesson plan before starting the topic, the school should manage mathematical lab, material and computer, proper guidance according to the student’sability should be given to ensure better learning for the whole class, teacher should be encouraged about better teaching practices by providing handsome remunerations or incentive.
