Abstract
This study entitled "Challenges faced by married female students in
mathematics learning" The main objective of this study were to find the areas of
challenges of married female students in learning mathematics and to find the causes
of challenges of married female students in learning mathematics. The study is based
on case study which is qualitative nature conducted with the sample of four married
female students and two women mathematics teacher of Tribhuvan University,
Central department of mathematics Education. The case were selected based on
purposive sampling. Tools for data collection of this study was in-depth interview and
the collective data were analyzed with the help of descriptive method.
From the above stated findings researcher concluded that Mathematics is a
time consuming subject. This subject is not difficult, but married women are not able
to take regular classes and can't spend time at home, so it has become a challenge for
them. Such challenges include personal, family, socio-cultural, post-childbirth, etc.
When women study for master's degree in mathematics after marriage, it is seen that
some of them faced many challenges and some of them faced few challenges, while
some of them got better opportunities than before marriage. It was seen that women
who had children faced more challenges in learning mathematics than women who
did not have children. Before marriage, when the financial status of parents was weak,
they had to work and support them, but after marriage, women did not feel
comfortable even though they were financially strong.
