Mathematics is an essential part of the education system in Nigeria. However, it is perceived among learners as a tedious and challenging subject. The primary objective of the current study was to enhance the teaching and learning of mathematics using improvisation. The study also examined the role of students location on mathematics learning when the learning material is improvised. The population of the study included secondary school students in both rural and urban areas of Enugu State. A total of 68 secondary school students constituted the study samples. A quasi-experimental design was used. Two hypotheses were tested, and it was concluded that improvisation of learning material enhances students performance in mathematics. Also, the study found that students location does not affect performance in mathematics when instructional material is improvised. The findings and recommendations are discussed.

The Impact

This study was carried out to investigate the impact of security of the school environment on the academic performance of secondary school students in Enugu State. The design of the study was descriptive survey design.The study was guided by two research questions and two null hypotheses. The population for this study was all the teachers in Enugu Education Zone of Enugu State.The population of the teachers was 523 in both urban and rural areas (232 teachers for urban areas and 291 for rural areas). The researchers applied the rule of thumb by getting 10% of the teachers‟ population. The instrument consisted of 12 items whose reliability was gotten by a trial testing inAgbani Education Zone on 15 teachers. The reliability of the instrument was determined using Cronbach Alpha with an overall reliability index of 0.79 which made the instrument reliable. The data were analysed using mean with standard deviation while t-test statistics was used to test the hypotheses. The findings of the study showed that the respondents were of the views that, the security of school environment relating to school buildings have an impact on the academic performance of the secondary school students in Enugu Education Zone to a great extent. It was recommended among others that the school buildings should be looked into seriously by the government, parents, non-governmental organizations among others in order to meet the standard of other secondary schools in different climes for an improved academic performance.

Mathematical communication skills of junior secondary school students in coastal area are still considered low due to the lack of contextual problem technique in the teaching of mathematics. The various potencies of the coastal area have been damaged without any concern. It is interesting to investigate the contextual problem in mathematics teaching because it can be identified, required, and related to everyday life. The objective of this study is to enhance mathematical communication skills of junior secondary school students in the coastal area. Using coastal-based contextual teaching and learning (CCTL) can enhance: (1) students’ mathematical communication skills better than conventional teaching and learning (CVTL); and (2) the students’ learning activity, fluency of argument in problem solving process, advanced question skills, and knowledge of coastal area potencies and problems.

Development And Validation

This paper outlines the development and validation of a Four-tier instrument in the topic of salt hydrolysis (FTISH). The instrument was developed by using the procedure of FTDICK instrument as published by Habiddin & Page (2019). This study was a part of other separates studies conducted by other groups of researchers including Devita, Habiddin & Suaidy (2019) (in press). This study involved 127 students in total and data collection were carried out two times involving 64 students in the first data collection and 63 students in the second one. The participants of both groups were public secondary school students from Malang. The FTISH consists of 23 questions. The results show that the validity of the questions ranged between 0.263 and 0.745. The reliability of the instrument was 0.80 and falls in the high category. The future implementation of the instrument to support the teaching and learning of salt hydrolysis are also discussed.

Metacognitive Strategies have always played a vital role in teaching learning process. Mathematical learning is solely based on these strategies. Several metacognitive approaches have been adopted by teachers to elevate the learning levels of students in mathematics. The basic feature of mathematics learning is to enable human mind to think logically. Mind mapping provides the students enough space to think about his thinking while learning mathematics. In this study the investigator aims find the answer for the question that how the learning levels of students can be augmented using Mind mapping as a metacognitive approach? For this an Experiment was conducted on secondary school students of Sangrur district in Punjab. This paper provides a brief overview of the study.

21st Century Education is a student-centered learning process. There are several elements applied, namely communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and the application of pure and ethical values. These elements are also referred to as the standard in PAK-21. But this PAK-21 is something new and ludicrous to apply. The study was conducted to find out the problems faced by the Arabic language teachers during the teaching practice at school. Further, this study was also conducted to analyze the 21st Century Education method and its effects on secondary school students' interest in learning Arabic in there. The respondents of this study were that two trainee teachers have been selected from the Bachelor of Arabic Language with Education at Sultan Idris Education University 2018/2019. This study is qualitative, and data collected through interviews. The results show that UPSI trainee teachers use 21st Century Education electronically and tools learning during teaching practice. In addition, the achievement and interest of secondary school students in Arabic subjects also increased after the trainee teacher applied 21st Century Education.
