Problem Faced by Students in Geometry at Lower Secondary Level

Abstract

This study is about the 'Problem faced by students in geometry at lower secondary level'. The main objectives of the study were to identify the causes of problems behinds the poor mathematics achievement in lower secondary school level. By hearing the negative response of students towards geometry while teaching in lower secondary level classes and observing poor result in geometry the researcher decided to take a research work carrying to use topic. By taking the interview with expert, teachers, students, class observation and achievement test among about 100 candidates the data were collected. Participants were selected by simple random sampling method. The data were analyzed by survey design. Responses obtained from class observation and achievement test were analyzed by three point likert scale with the help ofweightagemean, contents of text book, olddocuments, teachers and students responses, physical availability etc. were analyzed by factual description. From all the above efforts reliable causes of possible problems were noticed. School administration, parents, teachers, publications, students, andacademic policy of nation all are responsible for the problems.
