My thesis starts by looking at Lenin's interpretation of Marxism. The Leninist ideas of a tangible reality, the rejection of social democratic compromise and the importance of social responsibility as well as personal responsibility for political action. These ideas that facilitated the 1917 Bolshevik revolution in Russia can be paralleled to the ideas later used by anti-government activists. I examine the sociopolitical environment of the Soviet Union following Stalin's death in 1953. With Khrushchev's denunciation of Stalin a new era began across the Eastern Bloc. Using Václav Havel and his interpretation of Jan Patočka's phenomenology I create a wide schema for what is, and ultimately what creates a political "dissident." Phenomenology examines the way individuals interpret first person experiences, and what meaning they then apply to those experiences. Arguably the tyrannical environment of the Eastern Bloc shaped its own opposition. I then present the work of several Russian "dissidents" to first show the truly Leninist roots of their work, and then illustrate that this "dissidence" is not a national movement, rather it was shaped by oppression. Thus "dissidents" are forced to politically act because they have learned to from their own history. The foundations of the Bolshevik revolution necessitated radical political action because of an overwhelming social responsibility. The concept of a world unified proletariat revolution can be modernized to a concept of a world wide dissident movement against tyranny.

The portrayal of Russia in Western popular culture has served various purposes, particularly between 1945 and 1991. With a few exceptions, Soviet citizens, particularly Russians, have been shown as, alternatingly, backwards peasants and cunning enemies. In the post-1991 period, this tradition of showing Russia as the enemy continued in film and television, but tapered off in favor of more seemingly relevant foes on the world stage. While film analyses focusing on the portrayal of Russia and Russians have been done, the renewal of focus on Cold War imagery in reference to Russia and the West has not been commented on. Because of the so-called Illegals Program uncovered in 2010, the attempted "reset" between the United States and the Russian Federation, increased Western media coverage of human rights issues in Russia, and many other types of exposure, including the annexation of Crimea and the conflict with Russia-backed anti-Kiev militias in eastern Ukraine, Russia has taken center-stage and is subject not only to international scrutiny, but also to rehashed prejudices and outdated knowledge of the country that stems from old antagonisms. The television programs The Americans, Archer, and Doctor Who all look at Russia and the relationship of Russia with the West through a Cold War lens. I argue that this resurgence is in response to both Cold War nostalgia and a renewal of Russia's relevance on the world stage. By analyzing these programs, it will be shown that the types of information and impressions that are being promoted by popular culture of late at once serve to provide nuance to an ordinarily one-sided and limited portrayal of Russia and its people, and at the same time reinforce old, stale images of the "Evil Empire" that only serve to prevent understanding and cooperation between the citizens of the West and of Russia.

Land use in Florida has seen many changes since it became an American territory in 1821. But while land use can be a categorical term for classifying property, it can also take on a more valuable meaning. When the land was originally opened up for frontier settlers and wealthy planters to farm in the early years, it usually meant family and freedom as individuals and large kinship networks migrated south to establish homesteads and plantations. This population was mostly concentrated in Middle Florida or the northern part of the state. Leading up to the Civil War, cotton was obviously a royal crop and a manufacturing movement emerged to support the momentum toward Southern independence. However, the aftermath of the Civil War seems to be a turning point for the dominantly agrarian region as timber, railroads, and tourism changed the way residents used the land. While Northwest Florida retained agriculture as a major part of the economy, the peninsula became more developed and populated, mostly with wealthy Northern tourists, and in effect, the state transformed into two distinct regions with very different environments and cultures. Comparisons between the two sections are made throughout the study to illustrate lessons that can be learned from one to the other. Sprawl, congestion, and overdevelopment's assault on the environment are common concerns. My focus for this study is to show how land use and essentially rural life changed for those individuals who were accustomed to subsistence farming in Northwest Florida. Land prices, a decline in farm acreage, population distribution, and suburbanization exhibit this transformation. In addition, the intention is to show the assets of the Panhandle through its environment, rural character, and agrarian heritage which equates into a revered quality of life. The rural places of Northwest Florida deserve protection from inappropriate and misplaced development using rural land conservation and land-use planning techniques while revitalizing towns and cities that have already been developed and preserving the region's vast historical resources for future generations.

The history of music scenes is a topic that has been misunderstood. Scholarship has tended to focus on sociological theory as a basis for understanding how and why music scenes exist and motivate youth. While accomplishing important work and connecting the study of scenes to academia, theory has left uncovered the narrative history of music scenes. Setting scenes in their specific historical, social and cultural context allows them to be examined by a different set of research goals and methods. In this paper, I outline a historiography of music scenes, from the original implications of subcultural research to ethnography in the early 1990s. Tracing the literature on scenes, I argue that studying scenes from my position in 2009 must be accomplished with a historical point of view, not ignoring theory, but placing narrative history as the primary methodology. The growth of post-punk music scenes in America throughout the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s had extensive effects on popular culture, and through understanding the history first, I propose researchers will have a better grasp on what a scene is, why it functions in society, and how it has affected regional and national subcultural identity. I used Gainesville, Florida as an example of this method. The social characteristics of Florida and the shifts in the national subculture throughout the 1990s are two essential points I bring to bear in the case study of Gainesville. Overall, I hope to introduce Florida's scenes as anomalous instances of subcultural activity and to spur further inquiry on the topic of (re)writing music scenes into the history of youth culture, especially in the 1990s.

In response to a heightening concern for international justice, in the late 1990`s in Rome, Italy over 160 countries deliberated on the most suitable approach to an international standard dealing with war crimes, crimes of aggression, crimes against humanity and genocide. In reference to the International Criminal Court`s jurisdiction, these four crimes have come to be termed ―core crimes.‖ Although the culmination was the establishment of the ICC a variety of countries stood against such an establishment and fought to weaken the Court`s jurisdictional reach. The United States of America took center stage during the deliberations in Rome as one of these countries, voting against the Court with such infamous human rights abusers as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Iran, among others. Determined to undermine the Court`s ability to threaten national sovereignty the U.S. even went so far as to pass legislation enabling it to invade The Hague upon the possible arrest of any U.S. military representative. Despite U.S. objections though, the Court operates as a new standard for international justice and labors to hold war criminals accountable. Further, among the various movements, standards and ad hoc tribunals, the ICC stands alone as the first permanent international judicial composition with universal jurisdiction over core crimes. With the Court having a direct affect on international human rights standards and accountability, as well as being an important leader through its role on the global stage, this paper will detail the history of the aforementioned movements as well as their influence on the ICC`s creation. Further, the U.S. objections and reaction to the Court will be summarized and responded to with the conclusion that U.S. interests would be served by both signing and ratifying the Rome Treaty. Whereas a denial of ICC jurisdiction over core crimes seemingly protects national sovereignty, the same denial undermines the U.S. position of leadership in the world theatre. Finally, although more difficult to quantify, undermining the position of U.S. leadership in this manner invariably creates a far more dangerous threat to U.S. national sovereignty than does allowing the ICC to exercise complementary jurisdiction over the core crimes.

▼ Since the inception of the student supernumerary status, both globally and in South Africa, nursing and midwifery educators have been concerned about the clinical competencies of their students. Student clinical competency levels in South Africa are critical to midwifery practice, especially as most litigation against the Department of Health in South Africa concerns negligence in midwifery practice. In addition, the litigations mostly involve newly qualified midwives, thus suggesting a link with practice competency levels. Several challenges exist in the academic and practice environments regarding student learning, practice and clinical preparedness. Lack of support during clinical placement and a lack of facilities for use during clinical practice modules are among these challenges. Some students, due to the challenges they face with clinical learning and practice, fail to meet the practical competencies for examination entry requirements. Consequently, some of these students have to repeat the year or exit the programme. The current study sought to identify how to assist midwifery educators in their activities to prepare students for clinical placement readiness. The first objective of the study was to explore and describe the perceptions of midwifery educators regarding the need for additional measures to enhance the clinical preparedness of basic midwifery students before they are allocated to the clinical areas. The second objective sought to make recommendations that would further assist the midwifery educators to clinically prepare midwifery students before being allocated and placed in different clinical areas. A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual research design was used for the study and the study was conducted at a nursing college in the Eastern Cape Province from August 2014 to January 2016. The research population consisted of midwifery educators at a nursing college and a purposive sampling technique was used guided by set criteria. Data were collected using focus group interviews. Four focus groups were used making a total of 17 participants. The principles applied for data analysis were those of Tesch’s method of data analysis, which were used to develop the themes and sub-themes. An independent coder assisted with the coding of the data for the purposes of trustworthiness. In addition, Lincoln and Guba’s model of trustworthiness consisting of the criteria of credibility, transferability, dependability and conformability was used to confirm the validity of the study while the ethical principles adopted were informed consent, justice, non-maleficence, privacy and confidentiality. The study found that the participants perceived numerous challenges that hindered the clinical preparedness of their students. These related to increased workload, lack of support from management and a lack of commitment on the part of students towards their studies. The participants also identified inconsistencies in clinical practice between the clinical midwives and the educators, and even among the…

▼ This study took place at a private high school in the Kavango region with my 32 grade 10B learners as the research participants. Its objective was to investigate how the grade 10 learners make sense of concepts on refraction of light through exploring their cultural beliefs/everyday experiences about the rainbow. This research study was essentially triggered by my own classroom experience of teaching the topic on refraction of light. In order to achieve the goal of this research, a qualitative case study located within an interpretive paradigm was adopted. To gather data I used multiple data gathering techniques such as brainstorming session, learners conducting interviews in the community, practical activities and focus group interviews. This resulted in descriptive data that qualified to be analyzed in a qualitative way. The themes that emerged from the generated data were coded using upper letter cases and various colours. A methodological triangulation was employed by using multiple data generation techniques. Member checking during focus group interviews also ensured validity in this case study. The findings of this study revealed that the use of learners’ cultural beliefs/everyday experiences can be used to enhance learner engagement, meaning making and conceptual development during the science lessons. In addition, the ways in which practical activities are designed and presented to learners in the science classroom determine learners’ participation and conceptual attainment. Therefore, based on my research findings, I recommend that teachers need to be trained to be able to elicit and integrate learners’ cultural beliefs/everyday experiences in conjunction with hands-on practical activities which focus on conceptual development during their science lessons. However, although this study had many benefits, it also showed that it is not easy to close the gap between learners’ prior everyday knowledge and school science. This warrants further research.

Steven Conn recently argued that as museums change from warehouses of artifacts focused on public instruction to a different model of education by engagement, their emphasis on objects will become less necessary. This dissertation directly engages with that idea and argues that for many local museums objects mean as much as they ever did, maybe even more. My idea, the “currency of authenticity,” builds on two strands of scholarship. One that traces the increasing commodification of history. The other that local museums are just as worthy of study as national institutions. Specifically, I analyze how smaller museums use material culture to convince their audience that their textual narrative and/or oral interpretation is just as truthful as its objects. Using institutional records, newspapers, and oral histories, this dissertation examines how the Stephen Foster Museum and Florida Folk Festival, both in White Springs, Florida, and the Georgia Museum of Agriculture and Historic Village portray aspects of Southern culture. Each of these places emphasizes different qualities, objects, or ideas as they construct their own brand of authenticity. Simultaneously, these places also all emphasize their own kind of Southern identity, unique to their regions and the people they want to represent. Their exhibits demonstrate that Southern heritage is vast, complex, and more diverse than some people understand.

▼ The purpose of the study was to evaluate two approaches to teaching spelling and vocabulary to second through fourth graders in two different urban school systems to determine if one program revealed greater growth scores on Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) reading components. Research question 1 posited: Does Word Study, a developmental approach to spelling and vocabulary, impact the mastery of specific reading and language arts subtests on the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) for Hispanic English Learners? Five sub-questions assessed whether Hispanic ELs who were taught a developmental approach, using Word Study, achieve better TCAP scores than Hispanic ELs who were not taught spelling and vocabulary with a rigorous developmental approach in: a) Content (reading) b) Meaning (reading) c) Vocabulary d) Techniques and Skills e) Grammar Conventions Research question 2 asked: How do teacher beliefs and attitudes toward spelling and vocabulary instruction affect Hispanic ELs’ reading achievement? Sub-questions were: Do teachers in either or both districts believe spelling and vocabulary programs were implemented with fidelity? Do teacher beliefs and practices vary between the two spelling and vocabulary programs? How many times per week did spelling and vocabulary instruction occur in each district? Did teachers differentiate spelling and vocabulary instruction for Hispanic ELs in each district? Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were implemented. For research question 1, both districts demonstrated positive growth gains in Content and Meaning. District A students showed gains in Vocabulary. Techniques and Skills performance revealed a decline for District A while District B showed gains. District A Hispanic ELs demonstrated growth gains on Grammar Conventions. The qualitative analysis revealed that teacher s in both District A (56%) and District B (58%) were positive in their attitudes toward the value of explicitly teaching spelling and vocabulary. District A teachers revealed challenges with implementing a new approach while teachers in District B used the adopted basal reading program. Implications for practice were identified from both research-based programs. Educators in Tennessee can build on the foundation of effective reading, spelling, and vocabulary strategies examined in this study to ensure success for EL students, as well as all struggling or reluctant readers.

▼

There is evidence that students’ and mathematicians’ images of and reasoning about concepts such as infinite unions and intersections of sets, limits, and convergent series often invoke the consideration of infinite iterative processes. Therefore, not reasoning normatively about infinite iteration may hinder students’ understanding of fundamental concepts in mathematics. Research suggests that the vast majority of college students are inclined to use non-normative reasoning when presented with tasks that challenge them to imagine an infinite iterative process as completed and define its outcome. However, there is almost no research on how students’ conceptions of completed infinite iteration can be refined in a normative direction. Adopting a design research approach, the purpose of this thesis is to develop a local instruction theory for completed infinite iteration. This design entails multiple cycles through phases of development, implementation, and analysis. The study consisted of a sequence of two constructivist teaching experiments conducted with pairs of mathematics majors, during which the students worked collaboratively through a variety of infinite iteration tasks. Each cycle consisted of 6 or 7 sessions lasting approximately 2 hours, together with Pre-test and Post-Test sessions. The data analysis consisted of multiple phases of iterative analysis of the videotaped sessions and written work and was guided by situated learning transfer theories. The participants in this study employed a variety of types of reasoning when solving completed infinite iteration tasks, some normative and some not. One way that the students refined their reasoning on infinite iteration was by making references to previously solved tasks (in the presence of a concern for consistent reasoning across tasks), although the refinement was not always in normative directions. The challenge that a researcher faces consists in helping students use such references to establish “anchors” in normatively solved tasks to which they can then contrast the solution paths proposed for other tasks. A variety of approaches to responding to this challenge are explored. The study culminates with the formulation of a local instruction theory for completed infinite iteration, containing among other things a sequence of instructional activities and a rationale for their appropriateness.

▼ This study aimed at investigating the response of School Administrators to poor performance in O-level Physics examinations. The study further aimed at finding out the views held by School Administrators on the high failure rate and the measures they had put in place to improve performance. The School Administrators included school Headteachers and Heads of Science Departments. The teachers of Physics were also included in the study. A sample size of 100 subjects was used, which included 12 Headteachers, 12 Heads of Science Departments and 76 teachers of Physics from 12 selected High Schools on the Copperbelt. Only High schools which offered O-level Physics were considered and these included Mpelembe, Kitwe Boys, Helen Kaunda, Saint John's Convent, Mindolo, Saint Andrews, Kansenshi, Dominican Convent, Ndola Modern, Muzi, Ibenga Girls and Sacred Heart High Schools.Physics Education in Zambia is one of the Science subjects which had continued to produce a high failure rate in examinations.It was however hoped that this study would provide vital information for Policy Makers,School Administrators, teachers of Physics and other Researchers who might want to venture into this field of study.The research methods used were fundamentally quantitative and qualitative, incorporating non participant observation, questionnaire survey and interviews. The findings revealed that the School Administrators had the following views about the poor performance in Physics : -lack of support from School Headteachers; -inadequate funding; -low teacher morale; - lack of Physics text books, equipment and Physics apparatus. In an attempt to improve performance, the following measures had been put in place in the High Schools visited: -constantly motivating pupils about the importance of Physics in Science and Technology. -increased contact periods for Physics classes; -in-house workshops for teachers of Physics; -employ qualified teachers of Physics; - twin schools with better resourced schools that are within the country or outside for support in the supply of Physics instructional materials. The recommendations of the study included the view that School Administrators must be given an orientation or training on how to effectively administer Physics in schools;inspectorate services should be intensified in High Schools; there should be provision of equipment and Physics instructional materials needed for practicals; authorities should organize in-service training for Physics teachers who need to acquire new skills.

▼ The New Zambian High School Geography Curriculum (NZHSGC) that was launched in the year 2000 by the Curriculum Development Centre (CDC) of the Ministry of Education (MoE) carried with it a new component called the field project. The reason for proposing a field project was that the geography which was taught in schools then was just theoretical, text-book based and left pupils with little knowledge of their local areas. In addition, it effectively alienated the learners from their environment instead of imparting greater awareness of the same in them (Ntalasha et al 2004). In view of these concerns, this study evaluated the implementation process of the Geography Field Project (GFP) in six Zambian High Schools (ZHS) in the Southern Province of Zambia. The study investigated views, beliefs, attitudes as well as feelings and challenges experienced by Grade 11 and 12 pupils taking geography. It also sought the views of geography teachers who taught the new component of the field project, school managers and the MoE officers respectively. This study was very largely qualitative hence the use of research questions only rather than hypotheses. The questions used were: (a) What problems did teachers and pupils face in implementing geography field project in ZHS? (b) What should be the professional and academic qualifications for teachers of geography handling geography field project in ZHS? (c) What should be the specific geographical skills for a teacher handling a geography field project? (d) How equipped are the ZHS in terms of relevant geography field project? The research aimed at bringing out practical challenges experienced by stakeholders in order to equip them with necessary solutions to each concern. The study also sought to establish how each respondent group alleviated practical problems that were encountered in implementing the project. The main objectives of this study were: (a) To establish the problems teachers and pupils faced in implementing the project, (b) To find out the extent to which geography field project stakeholders were meeting the basic conditions in the implementation of the geography field project in ZHS as stated by authors such as Tilbury and Williams (1997) (eds) and AMSS (1958). This study employed descriptive and evaluative study design approaches to get different views, beliefs, attitudes and perceptions about the implementations of the project among different respondents.Although the NZHSGC was launched in the year 2000, the project component has not yet yielded satisfactory results because of various reasons. These included (a) inadequately trained teachers in project related courses (b) lack of appreciation of field projects by education administrators at different levels (c) unfavourable socio-economic, natural and environmental factors, (d) inadequate resources and (e) time for mounting field projects.To alleviate some of the challenges and experiences during the implementation of the geography field project in ZHS this study recommends that the Government of…

▼ In 2004, the Ministry of Education (MOE) through Curriculum Development Centre (CDC) introduced the new integrated curriculum approach to lower and middle basic school level in Zambia. In the new curriculum Religious Education (RE) is taught as part of Social and Development Studies (SDS). This research study therefore, was aimed at finding out the effectiveness of teaching Religious Education RE as part of SDS. The objectives of the study were to: (1) to assess the effectiveness of teaching RE as part of SDS; (2) to examine the attitude of teachers towards the teaching of RE as part of SDS; and(3) to establish the qualifications of the teachers teaching RE as part of SDS in the integrated curriculum. The study was carried out in Solwezi district, North-Western Province. Four Solwezi urban basic schools were purposively selected for the study. The total sample was 140 respondents, i.e. 96 pupils, 40 teachers and 4 administrators were used to collect data. One-to-one interviews, focus group interviews and lesson observations methods of data collections were used. Qualitative methods were used to analyse the data. The findings of the study revealed that the teaching of RE as part of SDS is not effective because teachers are not adequately trained in the new integrated curriculum approach. The lack of teaching and learning materials in schools has contributed to ineffective teaching and learning of RE under SDS. In addition, there is no serious monitoring of teachers leading to some teachers leaving out some RE topics. Failure by CDC and District Education Standard Officers to make follow-ups on the implementation of the new integrated curriculum approach is another factor that has contributed to the ineffectiveness of the teaching of RE as part of SDS. The negative attitude by teachers towards the change of methodology has also contributed to the non effective teaching and learning of RE. Some teachers are giving out unexplained work to pupils because of not knowing what to do. The study recommends that teachers should be retrained in the new integrated methods and that teaching and learning resources, should be provided in schools if the programme is to be successful.

▼ This study was set out to establish the challenges faced by refugee pupils in initial literacy acquisition at Meheba D Basic School.The research design was a case study and for that reason qualitative method was used to collect data. The data were collected through interviews, lesson observations and out of classroom observations. The target population was all the Grade One refugee pupils at Meheba D Basic School. The total number was one hundred and twenty four (124) pupils. The class teacher, school head teacher and District Educational Board Secretary (DEBS) also were sampled in the study. The total of one hundred and twenty seven (127) respondents participated in the study. The study revealed six main challenges faced by refugee pupils in initial literacy acquisition. These were: the use of an unfamiliar language (Kikaonde) to teach/learn initial literacy, long distance between refugee pupils’ homes and the school; overcrowded classrooms; shortage of NBTL learning/teaching materials; frequent movements of refugees, and poverty among refugees.The study further revealed that Kikaonde was not the refugee pupils’ language of play both at home and school.In view of the findings, the following recommendations were made. The Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational Training and Early Education should revisit the language being used for teaching at Meheba D Basic School. The mother tongue of the refugee pupils should be used to teach and learn initial literacy. Since Meheba D Basic School is a public school, the government of Zambia through the Ministry in charge of Education in collaboration with UNHCR should train and employ refugee teachers to teach NBTL lessons so that refugee pupils are taught in their mother tongues. UNHCR in collaboration with the government of Zambia should build at least a basic school in all the zones of Maheba settlement in order to avoid the long distance covered by refugee pupils to Meheba D Basic School. There is a need to have smaller classes at Meheba D Basic School. The Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational Training and Early Education should split the grade one class into three classes. Finally, the Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational Training and Early Education should provide adequate NBTL materials in order to facilitate the acquisition of initial literacy at Meheba D Basic Schools. UNHCR should come in to help.

▼ This study investigated the provision of science teaching and learning materials in the high schools of Northern Province. The specific objectives of the study were to identify the current practices in the provision of teaching and learning materials in high schools; to assess the adequacy and state of the existing science physical infrastructure in high schools; to establish the adequacy of teaching and learning materials in science subjects through such indicators as pupil-book ratio; pupil-laboratory space ratio; and pupil-equipment ratio and to find out the challenges which schools face in the provision of teaching and learning materials in science subjects. The study employed a survey and descriptive study research designs were used. Twenty five schools, 25 heads of science departments and 15 deputy head teachers were randomly sampled to form the study sample. Data was collected using questionnaires and observation schedules. The statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) was used for quantitative analysis of data whereas the views of participants were analysed qualitatively by grouping them into categories according to emerging themes. The findings were that some key science teaching and learning materials were not available in school. Even those which were available were not adequate. For instance, the pupil-apparatus ratio for the most abundant apparatus was 14:1. Similarly, the pupil-book ratios for the most abundant text books were 7.2:1, 14:1 and 23: for biology, chemistry and physics respectively. Most schools did not have science laboratories. Furthermore, most schools did not have a science policy. Apart from that teachers were facing a lot of challenges in the teaching of science such as over-enrolment of pupils amidst lack of teaching and learning materials. It was also revealed that the local book publishing industry and the National Science Centre were doing very little to increase the availability of teaching and learning materials in science in schools.The study recommends increased government funding towards the purchasing of science materials by increasing per pupil capita; government investment in laboratory and classroom construction and support for the book publishing industry.

▼ This study aimed at identifying which topics pupils perceived as difficult to learn in high school biology based on high schools in Kasama and Mungwi districts. It also examined the reasons for these difficulties and came up with recommendations on how to overcome the difficulties. Eleven heads of departments, 19 biology teachers and 451 high school pupils constituted the sample. The data were collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. All the heads of departments, biology teachers and pupils completed the questionnaire. The 19 biology teachers and 66 out of 451 pupils attended the follow-up oral interviews. Results of the study revealed that the most difficult topics in descending order of difficulty were; Mendelian genetics, mitosis and meiosis, genes and chromosomes, DNA synthesis, skeletal system and evolution. The identified the reasons why pupils experienced challenges in learning the above topics as the following: the topics were characterized by complex terms; teachers were not conducting practical laboratory work but taught theoretically; lack of teaching and learning resources including suitable text books and failure by the teachers to use ICT in the classroom. The study also established that neither pupils nor teachers had access to internet facilities at the schools. Some teachers failed to handle the difficult topics as evidenced by their poor explanation of concepts, and some of the teachers did not have the right qualification to handle senior classes. Gender differences were identified as having an impact on the pupils’ perception of learning difficulties. The teachers of biology agreed that gender had an effect on the pupils’ perception of learning difficulties but they did not agreed on which gender had a better or a more positive perception of learning difficulties. The study established that a variety of teaching strategies would help pupils learn the difficult topics effectively well. These strategies included: strict lesson planning by teachers, use of adequate teaching and learning resources, incorporating ICT in the classroom,promoting active learner-centred teaching strategies and employing effective communication skills characterised by clear explanations coupled with real-life practical examples. The study also showed that the biology teachers would lessen pupils’ learning challenges through motivating their pupils, administeringm remedial work to slow learners, revising the difficult topics with pupils, and giving to pupis some written assignments or research work followed by a feedback on such work.

▼ Throughout the study of physics, mathematical related terms, facts, figures and concepts are learned. Although the relationship between mathematics and physics is evident and interwoven, no studies of Zambian origin have focused on how mathematical concepts should be understood and used by physics teachers in secondary schools. This situation indicates a gap in knowledge which calls for systematic investigation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the understanding and use of mathematical concepts by teachers of physics in teaching physics at secondary school.The participants of this study included 250 male and female secondary school learners aged between 15 and 25 who were in Grade 10, 11 and 12 in 2011. The study also included 25 teachers of physics. The methods used to collect data in this study included questionnaires, interviews, examination analysis, analysis of documents and diaries as well as observations. The research findings suggested that the majority of the teachers of physics used mathematical concepts in one physics lesson every two weeks. Their inadequate knowledge in the understanding of mathematical concepts prevented them from using them. This frequency was low though teachers used the concepts. The lesson observation revealed that the teachers of physics used methods which failed to reflect mathematical concepts as most of the lesson objectives were of low cognitive domain.It was recommended that teachers of physics should use methodologies of teaching that promote acquisition of the ability to understand and use mathematical concepts which allow learners to use and understand mathematical concepts. The ministry of education, science, vocational training and early education (MoESVTEE) should draw up a curriculum that emphasizes methodologies of teaching particularly in the use and understanding of mathematical concepts in science rather than in physics content only. Curricula in colleges, and universities should also be restructured so that they teach pre-service and in- service teachers methodologies that are in line with problem – solving approaches, which lead to a proper understanding and use of mathematical concepts in physics.

▼ This study sought to assess the nature of factors affecting interest and attitudes of pupils toward learning Mathematics in selected Secondary Schools in Eastern Province. The objective of the study was to determine the nature of factors that contribute to pupils developing interest or lacking interest and developing positive or negative attitudes toward learning Mathematics. The aim of the study was to answer the following questions; what is the nature of factors contributing to pupils’ interest or lack of interest or having negative or positive attitudes toward learning Mathematics in selected Secondary Schools in Eastern Province? ; What nature of interest or attitudes do pupils have toward learning Mathematics in selected Secondary Schools in Eastern province? The research used a survey design with a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, when collecting data from pupils and teachers teaching Mathematics. A questionnaire for Grade 10, 11 and 12 pupils on interest and attitudes was administered. The other questionnaire was administered to teachers. Focus group discussions and interviews were also conducted for teachers and pupils to consolidate the collected data. Data collected from the pupils’ questionnaire and the teachers’ questionnaire were analysed quantitatively using Likert scale with five options choices to be selected. The last parts of the questionnaire contained open ended questions for pupils and teachers to comment or explain. The focus group discussions and interview findings were analyzed qualitatively by categorizing, describing and explaining, while descriptive statistical methods like mean, bar charts, standard deviation, percentages and frequency distribution were used to illustrate and analyze the data obtained from the Likerts scale. v According to the research findings the nature of interest and attitudes of Secondary School pupils show that pupils had little interest or had negative attitudes toward learning Mathematics. The research revealed that rural Secondary Schools had more pupils who lacked interest and had negative attitudes toward learning Mathematics compared to the pupils from urban schools in selected Secondary Schools in Eastern Province. The research also showed that pupils lost interest and developed negative attitudes toward learning Mathematics, mainly because of the Mathematics teachers and other factors such as poor pupils’ grade 9 mathematics results; lack of text books (teaching and learning materials); location of the school (rural or urban); Parents, and peers, advice or comments. However, the type of school and sex of the teacher were identified to have no direct influence on the interest and attitudes of the pupils toward learning mathematics. The mathematics teachers were labelled as the major contributors to why pupils lose interest and develop negative attitude in the way they conducted their lessons and interacted with pupils. The study recommends that the Teacher Training Institution should encourage the use of pupil centered methods;…
