Middle school students' performance in mathematics in the Third International Mathematics and Science Study
An Examination of First-Year University Students' Attitudes Toward and Approaches to Learning Mathematics
Stress of Secondary School Teachers in Transkei, South Africa
The purpose of this study was to explore self-reported stress experienced by secondary school teachers in Transkei, South Africa using a local unstandardized scale. Contrary to the literature on western teachers, an average rating of stress of 93.5 was reported by the 134 teachers, and no differences were noted between the 66 men and 68 women
Sex Differences in Mathematics Achievement and Attitude toward Mathematics
In a study of sex differences in mathematics achievement and attitude toward mathematics, a sample of 278 Standard 10 (Grade 12) students (95 boys and 183 girls) from seven senior secondary schools in the Umtata district of Transkei, South Africa, wrote tests in algebra and geometry and completed an attitude questionnaire. Analysis showed no significant difference between the mean scores of boys and girls in algebra but a significant difference b…
Sex, Socioeconomic Status, and Attitude toward Applied Statistics among Postgraduate Education Students
Differences by sex and socioeconomic status in attitude toward applied statistics of 38 students who registered for the Bachelor of Education (18 men and 20 women) and whose ages ranged from 21 to 43 years ( M = 28.9 yr.) were not statistically significant on a two-way analysis of variance of low, middle, and high socioeconomic status
Mathematics Achievement and Attitudes of Senior Secondary-School Students in Transkei, South Africa
In a study of mathematics achievement and attitudes toward mathematics, a sample of 266 Standard 10 (Grade 12) students (98 boys and 168 girls) from 10 senior secondary schools in the Umtata district of Transkei, South Africa, were administered a mathematics achievement test and an attitude questionnaire. Contrary to other studies analysis showed no significant relationship between students' scores on measures of mathematics achievement and attit…
Attitudes toward Applied Statistics of Postgraduate Students in Education in the Lebowa Region of South Africa
The 1990 McCall, Belli, and Madjidi Statistics Altitude Scale was administered to 50 postgraduate students in education at the University of the North, Lebowa, South Africa at the end of a course on educational research methods. The estimate of internal consistency was .92. Analysis supported the 1992 findings of Glencross and Cherian obtained elsewhere in South Africa
An Evaluation of Teaching Techniques Used in Transkei, South Africa to Assess Competency in Primary Mathematics
To evaluate the suitability of the senior primary mathematics curriculum in Transkei, South Africa in enabling Standard 3 (Grade 5) and Standard 4 (Grade 6) pupils to achieve competency in mathematics, an overview of teaching techniques was obtained using participant observation and class teaching exercises. Analysis showed that teachers relied largely on closed-type teaching techniques and heavily on textbooks, while direct classroom observation…
An Analysis of Teachers' Opinions of a Senior Primary Mathematics Syllabus
As part of an evaluation of the mathematics curriculum for senior primary schools in Transkei, a prototype 19-item questionnaire designed to assess opinions about the current mathematics syllabus was administered to a sample of 82 Standard 3 (Grade 5) and Standard 4 (Grade 6) teachers. Analysis suggested that teachers believed they were handicapped by an overcrowded syllabus and unable to be innovative but recognized the value of alternative teac…
Attitudes toward Applied Statistics of Postgraduate Education Students in Transkei
The 1990 McCall, Belli, and Madjidi Statistics Attitude Scale was administered to 43 postgraduate education students in Transkei at the end of a course on research methodology. Analysis showed that the scale had high internal consistency and was a valid measure of attitudes toward applied statistics when used in a different cultural setting
