This document discusses a study that assessed challenges in teaching and learning mathematics in secondary schools in Ghana. The study administered questionnaires to 100 teachers and 260 students. It found that some of the main challenges included a lack of teaching and learning materials (22.2%), an inconsistent syllabus from the Ghana Education Service (16.7%), and poor student attitudes towards mathematics (19.4%). Performance on mathematics exams in Ghana declined sharply between 2012 and 2013. The number of students taking the exams more than doubled but far fewer students passed in 2013 compared to 2012. Reasons proposed for the poor performance included unqualified teachers teaching mathematics and students' mathematics anxiety.

This study presents the findings of the relationship between students’ achievement in Senior School
Certificate Examination (SSCE) Mathematics conducted by the West African Examination Council (WAEC) and
the National Examination Council (NECO) in four selected secondary schools in Ifedayo Local Government
Area , Osun State, Nigeria.
The analysis showed that there is significant positive relationship between Mathematics in all the selected
schools contrary to the hypothesis that says there is no relationship in West African Senior School Certificate
Examination (WASSCE) and Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) NECO Mathematics results in the
schools.
It is therefore recommended that students should develop more interest in sitting for either of the two
examinations since they produce equivalent results.

The research explores the potential of incorporating science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education approach and critical thinking to enhance historical consciousness. The study employs an ex post facto quantitative method, specifically a correlational design to analyse the variables. The research population comprises 425 students from diverse backgrounds in Banten Province schools that have implemented the STEM approach. A sample size of 202 students is determined using a predefined error rate. Data collection involves tests and questionnaires assessing historical thinking skills, STEM approaches, and historical consciousness. Statistical analysis, including partial and simultaneous multiple correlation tests, reveals a significant and very strong positive relationship between STEM approach, historical thinking skills, and historical consciousness. This suggests that the interplay of these factors enhances history learning and encourages a deeper understanding of historical events, promoting critical thinking, and historical consciousness. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating STEM methodologies into history education to provide students with a holistic understanding of historical events and their societal implications. Such an approach bridges the gap between STEM and history, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and promoting informed and empathetic citizens. Future research should explore diverse samples, employ qualitative methods, and investigate curriculum designs and teaching strategies that effectively integrate STEM and history education.
Incorporating ethnoscience into lessons through the ethnoscience-students’ worksheet (ESW) is one method to improve student interest in science learning while introducing them to the local culture. However, no research was reported the effects of ESW on students' responses and the factors that influence ESW implementation in science learning. In order to better understand how students learn through ESW, this study investigated the relationship between ethnoscience context, science learning, and the implementation of students’ worksheets. Seventy-two students participated in the survey after they studied ethnoscience learning through ESW. Students’ responses are more influenced by science learning. In addition, the ethnoscience-integrated students’ worksheets (SW) variable indirectly affects students’ responses. Additionally, ESW affects students' responses more significantly than science learning and ethnoscience. This research provides insightful implications for educators on planning, designing, and practicing ESW to enhance students’ problem-solving motivation and academic achievement. Furthermore, to contribute significantly to future researchers, further research employed the structural equation model through covariance analysis, also known as confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).
This study aimed to i) analyse learning problems in science at boarding schools for junior high school students and ii) determine the effectiveness of science learning in the context of Islamic teachings using the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, -religion (STEM-R) approach to improve reflective and critical thinking skills. The research method applied in this study was a sequential exploratory mixed method. The research design consisted of five stages: i) qualitative data gathering, ii) qualitative data analysis, iii) quantitative data gathering, iv) quantitative data analysis, and v) data interpretation. The subjects of this study were 192 students from boarding schools and were divided into 6 groups. The research results obtained were the school, parents, science teachers and religion teachers’ vision and mission causing students to like or dislike science. An excellent teacher is viewed by students as someone who can make learning enjoyable, exhibit creativity in presenting educational material, possess the ability to motivate, link science and religion, engage in investigative activities, infuse humour, establish connections between science and everyday life, and communicate concepts effectively. Moreover, distinctions in reflective thinking and critical thinking abilities were observed between the experimental group and the control group. Learning that connects science and Islamic religion and examines STEM-R aspects is able to develop students' thinking skills.

Self-Efficacy, Scientific Reasoning, and Learning Achievement in the STEM Pro...Nader Ale Ebrahim
The main goal of education is to prepare students for future job opportunities and civic responsibilities, and this is one of the biggest challenges in the 21st century. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Project-Based Learning (PjBL) prepare students to master their new role as a global citizen with greater responsibilities. This systematic review analyzed 265 papers that are related to the STEM PjBL. The papers were collected from well-known databases such as Web of Science® and SCOPUS by using the quality assessment and relevant criteria. This study inspected the top 48 distinguished papers by covering three dimensions, Search result, Subject, and Research methodology. STEM and PjBL come together, due to the natural overlap between the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and PjBL. The fully integrated STEM with PjBL can increase the effectiveness of teaching. Nonetheless, this inspection uncovered that previous research has not fully integrated STEM with PjBL. Thus, despite the wealth of existing research, there are still significant opportunities for future research on STEM PjBL in high schools to prepare students for 21st century challenges.

A Correlational Analysis of Students’ Achievement in WASSCE and NECO (SSCE) M...iosrjce
This study presents the findings of the relationship between students’ achievement in Senior School
Certificate Examination (SSCE) Mathematics conducted by the West African Examination Council (WAEC) and
the National Examination Council (NECO) in four selected secondary schools in Ifedayo Local Government
Area , Osun State, Nigeria.
The analysis showed that there is significant positive relationship between Mathematics in all the selected
schools contrary to the hypothesis that says there is no relationship in West African Senior School Certificate
Examination (WASSCE) and Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) NECO Mathematics results in the
schools.
It is therefore recommended that students should develop more interest in sitting for either of the two
examinations since they produce equivalent results.
In the 21st-century, we need a generation who can read and face the challenges of the times.

The research explores the potential of incorporating science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education approach and critical thinking to enhance historical consciousness. The study employs an ex post facto quantitative method, specifically a correlational design to analyse the variables. The research population comprises 425 students from diverse backgrounds in Banten Province schools that have implemented the STEM approach. A sample size of 202 students is determined using a predefined error rate. Data collection involves tests and questionnaires assessing historical thinking skills, STEM approaches, and historical consciousness. Statistical analysis, including partial and simultaneous multiple correlation tests, reveals a significant and very strong positive relationship between STEM approach, historical thinking skills, and historical consciousness. This suggests that the interplay of these factors enhances history learning and encourages a deeper understanding of historical events, promoting critical thinking, and historical consciousness. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating STEM methodologies into history education to provide students with a holistic understanding of historical events and their societal implications. Such an approach bridges the gap between STEM and history, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and promoting informed and empathetic citizens. Future research should explore diverse samples, employ qualitative methods, and investigate curriculum designs and teaching strategies that effectively integrate STEM and history education.
Incorporating ethnoscience into lessons through the ethnoscience-students’ worksheet (ESW) is one method to improve student interest in science learning while introducing them to the local culture. However, no research was reported the effects of ESW on students' responses and the factors that influence ESW implementation in science learning. In order to better understand how students learn through ESW, this study investigated the relationship between ethnoscience context, science learning, and the implementation of students’ worksheets. Seventy-two students participated in the survey after they studied ethnoscience learning through ESW. Students’ responses are more influenced by science learning. In addition, the ethnoscience-integrated students’ worksheets (SW) variable indirectly affects students’ responses. Additionally, ESW affects students' responses more significantly than science learning and ethnoscience. This research provides insightful implications for educators on planning, designing, and practicing ESW to enhance students’ problem-solving motivation and academic achievement. Furthermore, to contribute significantly to future researchers, further research employed the structural equation model through covariance analysis, also known as confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).
This study aimed to i) analyse learning problems in science at boarding schools for junior high school students and ii) determine the effectiveness of science learning in the context of Islamic teachings using the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, -religion (STEM-R) approach to improve reflective and critical thinking skills. The research method applied in this study was a sequential exploratory mixed method. The research design consisted of five stages: i) qualitative data gathering, ii) qualitative data analysis, iii) quantitative data gathering, iv) quantitative data analysis, and v) data interpretation. The subjects of this study were 192 students from boarding schools and were divided into 6 groups. The research results obtained were the school, parents, science teachers and religion teachers’ vision and mission causing students to like or dislike science. An excellent teacher is viewed by students as someone who can make learning enjoyable, exhibit creativity in presenting educational material, possess the ability to motivate, link science and religion, engage in investigative activities, infuse humour, establish connections between science and everyday life, and communicate concepts effectively. Moreover, distinctions in reflective thinking and critical thinking abilities were observed between the experimental group and the control group. Learning that connects science and Islamic religion and examines STEM-R aspects is able to develop students' thinking skills.

Self-Efficacy, Scientific Reasoning, and Learning Achievement in the STEM Pro...Nader Ale Ebrahim
The main goal of education is to prepare students for future job opportunities and civic responsibilities, and this is one of the biggest challenges in the 21st century. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Project-Based Learning (PjBL) prepare students to master their new role as a global citizen with greater responsibilities. This systematic review analyzed 265 papers that are related to the STEM PjBL. The papers were collected from well-known databases such as Web of Science® and SCOPUS by using the quality assessment and relevant criteria. This study inspected the top 48 distinguished papers by covering three dimensions, Search result, Subject, and Research methodology. STEM and PjBL come together, due to the natural overlap between the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and PjBL. The fully integrated STEM with PjBL can increase the effectiveness of teaching. Nonetheless, this inspection uncovered that previous research has not fully integrated STEM with PjBL. Thus, despite the wealth of existing research, there are still significant opportunities for future research on STEM PjBL in high schools to prepare students for 21st century challenges.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

Comparative Analysis of Total Corporate Disclosure of Selected IT Companies o...ijtsrd
Disclosure is a process through which a business enterprise communicates with external parties. A corporate disclosure is communication of financial and non financial information of the activities of a business enterprise to the interested entities. Corporate disclosure is done through publishing annual reports. So corporate disclosure through annual reports plays a vital role in the life of all the companies and provides valuable information to investors. The basic objectives of corporate disclosure is to give a true and fair view of companies to the parties related either directly or indirectly like owner, government, creditors, shareholders etc. in the companies act, provisions have been made about mandatory and voluntary disclosure. The IT sector in India is rapidly growing, the trend to invest in the IT sector is rising and employment opportunities in IT sectors are also increasing. Therefore the IT sector is expected to have fair, full and adequate disclosure of all information. Unfair and incomplete disclosure may adversely affect the entire economy. A research study on disclosure practices of IT companies could play an important role in this regard. Hence, the present research study has been done to study and review comparative analysis of total corporate disclosure of selected IT companies of India and to put forward overall findings and suggestions with a view to increase disclosure score of these companies. The researcher hopes that the present research study will be helpful to all selected Companies for improving level of corporate disclosure through annual reports as well as the government, creditors, investors, all business organizations and upcoming researcher for comparative analyses of level of corporate disclosure with special reference to selected IT companies.

“One Language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way” Frank Smith English as a foreign language or as a second language has been ruling in India since the period of Lord Macaulay. But the question is how much we teach or learn English properly in our culture. Is there any scope to use English as a language rather than a subject How much we learn or teach English without any interference of mother language specially in the classroom teaching learning scenario in West Bengal By considering all these issues the researcher has attempted in this article to focus on the effective teaching learning process comparing to other traditional strategies in the field of English curriculum at the secondary level to investigate whether they fulfill the present teaching learning requirements or not by examining the validity of the present curriculum of English. The purpose of this study is to focus on the effectiveness of the systematic, scientific, sequential and logical transaction of the course between the teachers and the learners in the perspective of the 5Es programme that is engage, explore, explain, extend and evaluate.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

Design Simulation and Hardware Construction of an Arduino Microcontroller Bas...ijtsrd
This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

These emphases reveal areas where mathematics can
be applied that aid both human and societal
development which is the pursuit of growing and
advanced nations. This is to say that problem solvers
mathematical application depends totally on their
knowledge of mathematical operations principles and
their concepts.
It is evident that the pervasive role of mathematics in
societal development is attained through thorough
mathematics instruction, whose success is determined
through the learners’ academic performance.
Academic performance according to Maryam and
James (2014) generally refers to students’ ability to
study and accomplish a given task. Regrettably,
students academic performance across the senior
secondary schools in science-oriented subjects
especially mathematics has remained poor (Salan
2000). For example, mathematics students’ results in
West African Senior Secondary Certificate
Examination (WASSCE) 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016,
2017, 2018 with corresponding percentage credit
level and above as 36.00%, 31.30%, 38.68%, 52.97%,
59.22% and 49.98% whose average percentage credit
level for these six years is 44.17% indicating below-
average percentage credit level and above of students
performance.
These results were generated from the existing
teaching methods, the traditional teaching methods
where the teacher do the talking as students listen and
copy notes. Ogunkunle (2007) stated that
mathematics teaching dwells in talk and chalk
syndrome at the secondary school stage. This
instructional style disconnects the connection of
classroom mathematics and real-life applications
where students are not developed mathematically to
solve cultural base problems. Sidhu (2006) opined
that this coerces mathematical meaningful learning.
This triggers the routine negative perception of
mathematical concepts to be difficult. Mathematics in
its application is pragmatic but encapsulated in
abstraction as a subject matter. This connotes that
mathematics instruction lies squarely on European
structure, contents and as well algorithm. Its reverse
remains that western educational practise as enforced
in their colonies did not include their cultures and
general views of the people. This resulted ina
Eurocentric curricula pattern, which has projected
mathematics to be western culture-oriented as against
indigenous cultures. Bocher (1966) in Ogunkunle and
George (2015), however, observed that before 1600
AD there was Greek mathematics, Indian
mathematics, as well as Chinese mathematics. Bocher
might have observed that there is African
mathematics if the study had been furthered. Since no
culture can survive without mathematical operations,
every society irrespective of its civilization level exist
among mathematical activities that assist its citizens
in solving life problems. This indigenous cultural
base mathematics is an area of interest in mathematics
for scholars to research in, and to resolve its inclusion
during mathematical studies as to enhance students
performance academically, so that mathematics will
be seen as learners’ culture-oriented and not foreign.
This suggests why D’Ambrosio (1977) in Okpobiri
(2005) propounded ethnomathematics and its utility
in enhancing students’ mathematics achievement.
Ethnomathematics is a studying style that takes
cognisance of cultural inherence where mathematics
is in existence (Kurumeh, 2006). Rosa and Orey
(2011) posited that one of the aims of
ethnomathematics exercise is to show that traditional
environments loaded with their cultural inherent is
full of mathematical activities. This corroborates the
fact that various economies develop a mathematical
ideology that helps to cope with reality on ground
with the aid of various instruments from a culture like
measuring instruments, segmentation, quantification,
inference and modelling. Ogunkunle and George
(2015) defined ethnomathematics as a branch of
academics that studies mathematical ideas
(knowledge), activities and practice which can be
seen in a socio-cultural context. This signifies that
ethnomathematics deals with the cultural merger to
the study of mathematics. The re-occurring record of
poor performance in mathematics requires immediate
attention ifa country like Nigeria must succeed
scientifically and technologically considering the
practical nature of the mathematical field of study, the
inclusion of environmental aid with inherited cultures
such as ethnomathematical practice is essential.
However, this study investigated the
ethnomathematics and academic performance of
senior secondary students in mathematics in Rivers
State, Nigeria. Ethnomathematics method of
instruction (EMOI) maintains the utilization of
learners’ immediate and familiar environment to
teach the learner mathematics. The Ethnomathematics
method of instruction transforms foreign (Euro-
centric) mathematical concepts more suitable to the
learner’s environment and background of the learner
towards enhancing mathematical learning. Of
particular benefit, it is a practically oriented method.
The study employed the reach cultural environment
of secondary school students in Emohua Local
Government Area of Rivers State Nigeriain
enhancing academic performance in every
mathematics assessment and general competence that
will enable students to be absorbed in mathematics-
related opportunities after educational career.

Statement of the Problem
Mathematics as a science of quantities and numbers is
rooted in culturally free teaching method, mostly
method of teaching evolving within chalk and talk
method (Ogunkunle, 2007). This cultural free
teaching method has infused a re-occurring scenario
of poor performance of senior secondary students in
various mathematical assessments. One imagines why
these various methods utilised so far are unable to
change this continuous poor performance trend.
Scholars affirmed that consistent bonds exeunt
between mathematics and culture in the learning
process of mathematics. A concept that mitigates
mathematics and culture through the use of students’
subjected surroundings, (ethnomathematics). This
ethnomathematics method of teaching has attracted
serious concern by scholars to see if it could reverse
the poor performance syndrome of students in
mathematics. It is then needful to ascertain whether
the ethnomathematics method of teaching
mathematics can change the trend of poor academic
performance by the students.
Aim and Objectives of the study
The study aimed at investigating ethnomathematics
andacademic performance of senior secondary
students.
The objectives of this study include;
1. Ascertain if any difference exists in the academic
performance mean score of senior secondary
students taught mathematics using
ethnomathematics method of instruction (EMOI)
and those taught using problem-solving method
(PSM).
2. Analyse gender effect on the mean score
performance of senior secondary students taught
mathematics using ethnomathematics method of
instruction (EMOI).
Research questions
The research questions for this study were;
1. What is the difference in academic performance
mean score of senior secondary students taught
mathematics using ethnomathematics method of
instruction (EMOI) and those taught using
problem-solving method (PSM)?
2. What is the effect of gender on the mean score
performance of senior secondary students taught
mathematics using ethnomathematics method of
instruction (EMOI)?
Hypotheses
Ho1: There is no significant difference in mean
score performance of senior secondary students
taught mathematics using ethnomathematics method
of instruction (EMOI) and those taught using
problem-solving method (PSM).
Ho2: There is no significant difference in male and
female senior secondary students mean score
performance taught mathematics using
ethnomathematics method of instruction (EMOI).
Methodology
The study design wasa ‘quasi-experimental non-
randomized pre-test, post-test, control research
design’. Experiment (treatment) was carried out on
the students by the researcher with the help of the two
schools mathematics teachers trained by the
researcher. Two intact classes (namely; one
experimental group and one control group) were
utilised for this study. The experimental group was
treated by the ethnomathematics method of
instruction (EMOI) during mathematics instruction
via demonstration/discussion while the control group
was treated by a non-ethnomathematics method of
instruction (Conventional Problem solving method
(PSM)).
The study was executed in Emohua Local
Government Area, which is part of the twenty-three
(23) local government area in Rivers State inthe
South-South geopolitical zone in Nigeria. The
population of this study include 2411 senior
secondary two (SS2) mathematics students in twenty-
one(21) co-educational public senior secondary
schools in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers
State Nigeria. Two intact classes made of the
experimental and control group in two(2) of these
schools namely Community Secondary School
(CSS)Rumuji and Odegu Community Secondary
School (OCSS) Rumuewhorwere used and 138 senior
secondary two (SS2) mathematics students (i.e., 72
for the experimental group and 66 for the control
group) served as the sample size of this study. These
were achieved utilising a simple random sampling
technique. ‘‘Mathematics Performance Test” (MPT)
is the researchers developed instrument used for the
study.
MPT is the performance test instrument that was used
for pre-test, and post-test for the study. MPT
contained 50 multiple-choice item questions with four
options lettered A to D for senior secondary two
(SS2) students. Each test item was allotted 2 marks
and this gave a total of hundred (100) marks for the
50 item test. The content of MPT was derived from
five mathematical concepts (Angle, lines, circle
geometry, properties of plane shapes, and curved/total
surface area of hemisphere) which are related to
angular formations in the production of traditional
baskets weaving, garri sifter and fish trap. The
instrument validation was carried out bythree experts

in mathematics education and measurement &
evaluation. The experts made professional inputs
through thorough assessments, comments, and
suggestions in upgrading the instrument both in
content and face validation before the instrument was
produced for this study. The test-retest method was
used to ascertain the stability of the instrument
(MPT). To carry out this, twenty (20) senior
secondary two (SS2) mathematics students were used.
Twenty copies of the ‘‘MPT’’ were administered to
the SS2 mathematics students in an interval of two
weeks and retrieved. The instrument was as well re-
administered to the same group of students followed
by retrieval, marking and scoring. ‘‘Pearson Product
Moment Correlation, (PPMC)’’ was used to obtain a
stability coefficient of 0.78 of the first and second test
scores.
Data collections methods were sequentially carried
out in three (3) phases as below;
Pre-treatment Phase: At this phase, the researcher
ensured thorough familiarization with the students
and immediately pre-test of MPT was administered to
the students of (both groups) with the help of a
mathematics teacher in each of the schools.
Treatment Phase: At the treatment phase,
instructional sessions (ethnomathematics method of
instruction for the experimental group and
conventional problem-solving method for the control
group was carried out). Forty (40) minutes per period
of four (4) periods per week for two weeks were used
for the treatment phase of the study.
Post Treatment Phase: At the post-treatment phase,
a post-test of MPT was given to both the experiment
and control group. Mean and standard deviation was
used in answering the research questions based on the
data collected from the instrument whereas Analysis
of covariance (ANCOVA) was used for hypotheses
(Ho1, andH02) test at 0.05 alpha level.

Table 2. displayed that the mean gain performance of male senior secondary students taught mathematics using
ethnomathematics was 35.18 while the mean gain performance of female senior secondary students taught
mathematics using the Ethnomathematics method of instruction was 31.03.
Hypotheses
H01: There is no significant difference in mean scores performance of senior secondary students taught
mathematics using ethnomathematics method of instruction (EMOI) and those taught using problem-solving
method (PSM).
H02: There is no significant difference in mean score performance of male and female senior secondary students
taught mathematics using ethnomathematics method of instruction (PSM).

Table 3 unveiled that there is a significant difference in the performance mean scores of senior secondary
students taught mathematics using ethnomathematics method of instruction and those taught using problem-
solving method F(1, 133=58.842, p<.05). The null hypothesis one was rejected at .05 alpha level.
More so the result from Table 3 further unveiled that there is no significant difference between the male and
female senior secondary students mean performance score taught mathematics using ethnomathematics method
of instruction F(1, 133=2.532, p>.05). The null hypothesis two was not rejected at 0.05 alpha level.
Discussion
The result from Table 1 revealed that the mean gain
performance of senior secondary students taught
mathematics using the ethnomathematics method of
instruction (EMOI) was higher than those taught
mathematics using the problem-solving method
(PSM). When put to the statistical test, the ANCOVA
result on Table 3 unveileda significant difference in
the mean performance scores of senior secondary
students taught mathematics using ethnomathematics
method of instruction (EMOI) and those taught using
the problem-solving method (PSM). The null
hypothesis one (H01) was rejected at .05 significance
levels. The present finding was consistent with earlier
findings by Odili and Okpobiri (2011) on
ethnomathematics resources for teaching mathematics
in Ikwerreprimary school which unveiled that there is
a significant difference in the learning achievement of
pupils in the two groups which was in favour of the
experimental group.
The result in Table 2 showed that male senior
secondary students who taught mathematics using the
ethnomathematics method of instruction (EMOI) had
a higher mean gain in learning when compared to
their female counterparts. However, when put to
statistical test, the ANCOVA result in Table 3
showed that there is no significant difference in mean
performance scores of male and female senior
secondary students taught mathematics using the
ethnomathematics method of instruction. The present
finding was consistent with an earlier finding by
Ezeamenyi (2002) on the effect of games on
ethnomathematical achievement, interest and
retention which established that male students
benefited more using games than their female
counterparts.
Recommendations
The recommendations made based on the findings of
this study include;
1. Mathematics teachers’ during mathematics
instruction should look out and utilise
ethnomathematical materials/activities within the
culture of the learners’ to ensure the proper
delivery of mathematical concepts to enhance
learners’ performance.
2. Students should be subjected to consistent
utilisation of ethnomathematical operations within
their culture in carrying out mathematical tasks.
3. Mathematics teachers should take cognisance of
gender disparity during the teaching and learning
of mathematics and ensure that proper attention is
given to the female students to ensure the
enhancement of their performance during
mathematics instruction.
