Item Multiculturalism: a panacea to the achievement gap in mathematics in public schools in Nigeria(Institute of Education, Obafemi Awolowo Univeristy, Ile-Ife, 2017) Tella, A.Multiculturalism seeks to recognize, understand, and appreciate cultures other than one' own. Educational Researchers over the years have taken advantage of multiculturalism to bridge the achievement gap and inequality that are related to gender, exceptionality, race, class and ethnicity. Students' performance in Mathematics over the years shows that the teaching and learning of the subject has been consistently reported as poor in most of the secondary and primary schools in Nigeria. This poor performance is more profound in public school where the majority of students are enrolled in Nigeria. A critical look showed that the dearth of effective teaching and learning of Mathematics in public schools in Nigeria has been attributed to lack of resources. It is against these backdrops that this paper highlights the potentials of multiculturalism as a yardstick to bridge the achievement gaps in Mathematics teaching in public schools in Nigeria.Item The impact of motivation on student’s academic achievement and learning outcomes in mathematics among secondary school students in Nigeria(MOMENT Kazim Karabekir Cad., Ankara-Turkey, 2007-05) Tella, A.In our match towards scientific and technological advancement, we need nothing short of good performance in mathematics at all levels of schooling. In an effort to achieve this, this study investigated the impact of motivation on students’ school academic achievement in mathematics in secondary schools using motivation for academic preference scale (α = 0.82) as a measuring instrument and achievement test in mathematics (ATM) Two hypotheses were tested for significant at 0.05 margin of error using t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) Results showed that gender difference were significant when impact of motivation on academic achievement was compared in male and female students. Also, other result indicates significant difference when extent of motivation was taken as variable of interest on academic achievement in mathematics based on the degree of their motivation. Implications, suggestions and recommendations on students, parents, government, counsellors, educational stakeholders, etc were discussed.Item The impact of motivation on student’s academic achievement and learning outcomes in mathematics among secondary school students in Nigeria(MOMENT Kazim Karabekir Cad., Ankara-Turkey, 2007-05) Tella, A.In our match towards scientific and technological advancement, we need nothing short of good performance in mathematics at all levels of schooling.
