Teachers’ Perception of the new Nine-Year Basic Education Mathematics Curriculum in Nigeria
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS TRENDS AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The study investigated the perception of primary and junior secondary mathematics teachers on the new nine-year basic education mathematics curriculum in Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was adopted for the study and the participants were two hundred experienced mathematics teachers in forty public primary schools and twenty junior secondary schools in Calabar Municipality and Calabar North Local Government Areas of Cross River State, Nigeria. One instrument tagged “perception of teachers of the new basic education mathematics curriculum’’ was used for data collection. The results showed that teachers’ perception of the new nineyear basic education mathematics curriculum was high and their perceptions were neither gender sensitive nor academic qualification specific. However, teachers showed a high degree of ownership of the content of the new basic education mathematics curriculum despite their lack of necessary training in the principles underpinning the curriculum.

Suitable mode of Public Transport – A Decision making model using Possibility Intuitionistic Fuzzy Soft Sets
In this paper, the concept of Possibility Intuitionistic Fuzzy Soft Sets is used to develop a decision making model for choosing a suitable mode of transport.
Fourier transf orm and Plancherel Theorem f or Nilpotent Lie Group
As will known the connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie group N has an important role in quantum mechanics. In this paper we show how the Fourier transform on the n dimensional vector Lie group n R can be genera...
On wgrα - Homeomorphisms in Topological Spaces
A bijection f: (X, τ) → (Y, σ) is called weakly generalized regular α- homeomorphism if f and f-1are wgrα-continuous. Also we introduce the new class of maps, namely wgrαc-homeomorphisms which form a subclass of wgrα-ho...
A Sparse Twin SVM for multi-classification problems
We propose Sparse TSVM, a multi-class SVM classifier that determines k nonparallel planes by solving k related SVM-type problems. The Sparse TSVM promotes Twin SVM to one-versus-rest approach. And it capture classe...
On Normal Fuzzy Soft Group
In this paper, we introduce the concept of normal fuzzy soft group. We also define the level subsets of a normal fuzzy soft subgroup and discussed some of its properties.
