| dc.description.abstract | The study entitled “Error Analysis in Solving Problem of Co–ordinate Geometry” explores the errors made by the Grade XI students in solving problems in coordinate geometry. The nature of this research is qualitative as well as qualitative and descriptive survey design. The total population of this study was 80 students studying in grade XI taken from three campuses; Ghodaghodi Multiple Campus, Tikapur Multiple Campus and Kailali Multiple Campus, Kailali. The sample of this study was 60 students and three teachers from the selected campuses. The sampling procedure of this study was non random purposive sampling. The data were collected through problem solving test, class observation and interview with both teacher and students. The collected data were analyzed and interpreted by using Newman technique of error analysis theory. The total number of errors committed by the students in solving verbal problems was 484. These errors were tabulated by checking answer sheet and by taking interview. Out of 484 errors 44 were from reading, 109 were from comprehension and 105 were from transformation, 162 were from process and 64 were from encoding, Most of the errors were committed by the students because of poor background in language, Some students were confused on the meaning of the words used in verbal problem by attaching their own meaning to them, Students often used mix-up rules because they do not really have relational understanding of what they are doing. | en_US |
