Book Description
Given the challenges of shortage of skills as informed by low performance in Grade 12 Mathematics, it seemed appropriate that a study on factors behind poor performance in Mathematics amongst grade 12 learners be undertaken. The study explored various factors that contribute to poor performance of learners in Mathematics in grade 12.

Book Description
The purpose of this study is to advance the understanding of why some mathematics classrooms in disadvantaged communities are successful and others not. The study was conducted in Limpopo Province in the northern part of South Africa. The central research question addressed in the study is: What factors facilitate achievement of Grade 12 mathematics learners in traditionally disadvantaged schools, particularly in Limpopo Province? The study included in an extensive literature survey in order to identify related studies in this and other countries. The analysis is based on qualitative and quantitative data gathered in schools with similar learner demographics and socioeconomic characteristics, including both high-achieving and low-achieving schools. The quantitative analysis was based on a questionnaire issued to learners whereas the qualitative analysis was based on focus group interviews with learners and individual interviews with teachers. A questionnaire issued to teachers was also included in the study. This investigation shows that factors such as learners' and teacher commitment and motivation, attitudes and self-concept, learners' career prospects, learners' perceptions of peers and teachers, and teachers' perceptions of learners appear to influence disadvantaged learners' decisions to persist and achieve in mathematics in spite of their difficult circumstances. The conclusion is that there are no mysterious factors that lie at the root of the differences between high- and low-achieving schools. The application of sound teaching and learning principles fosters an environment where pupils are motivated to reach their full potential.

The Low Achievement Trap
Author: Martin Carnoy
Publisher: HSRC Publishers
ISBN: 9780796923684
Category : Academic achievement
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"The Low Achievement Trap: Comparing schools in Botswana and South Africa is an empirical study of student mathematics learning in Grade 6 classrooms that is unique in its focus on two school systems shaped by different political histories on either side of the Botswana-South Africa border. The study provides a detailed examination of the capacity of teachers – how they teach, how much they teach, and what they teach. Because of this wealth of detail, The Low Achievement Trap gives us much greater insight than previous research into why students seem to be making larger gains in the classrooms of South Eastern Botswana than in those of North West Province, South Africa. Rather than identifying a single major factor to explain this difference, the study finds that a composite of inter-related variables revolving around teachers’ mathematics knowledge and their capacity to teach mathematics are crucial to improving education in both regions. The message is a hopeful one: good teachers can make a difference in student learning"--Publisher's website.
