Project Overview

<p> </p><p><strong>INTRODUCTION</strong></p><p>Teaching is a complex system which affects what will happen in classes through the interactions among the factors of teachers, students, curriculum, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.modishproject.com/student-perception-teaching/">local setting and others</a>&nbsp;(Stigler and Hilbert, 1998). Rubenstein (2004) supported teaching as a complex endeavor. The knowledge base behind mathematics teaching includes the knowledge of mathematics of connections among mathematical ideas, of student’s learning and school culture. The process of teaching involves creating a learning community, challenging students to make sense of mathematical ideas and supporting students’ developing understanding. Rubenstein (2004) stated that teachers are considered as one of the most important factors playing on role in students’ achievement and teaching process.</p><p>Effective mathematics learning is one in<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.modishproject.com/student-perception-teaching/">&nbsp;which students and teachers interact</a>&nbsp;in ways that allows students to have an opportunity to maximize how much they learn. These are variety of ways in which students and teachers interact in a learning environment. Some interactions result in student learning classroom discussion, teachers and students initiated questions. Cooperative group work, peer tutoring and a host of other feedback system such as assignments, examinations and electronic responses system such as the personal responses system (PRS) and the personal data assistant (PDA) are instructional strategies that provide a measure of two-ways communication in which information about what is taught and what is learned is exchange between two people on the other hand, there are<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.modishproject.com/student-perception-teaching/">&nbsp;instructional strategies in which students s</a>it passively in classrooms where there is one-way communication from teachers to students. On many colleges and university campuses. For example, the professor operates as the proverbial “Sage on the stage” and the didactic lecture is the model way of teaching. And although the lecture is an efficient method for transmitting information from a teacher to a large group of students, telling information to some one does one does not mean that learning take place in order to determine whether is occurring-infant to ensure that learning is taking place, there must be teacher-student assessment interactions along with the instructional interactions.</p><p>Assessment interactions between students and teachers occurs when teachers gather information about students learning and use that information help students better understand concepts and principles and apply knowledge, not just learn factor. This type of <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.modishproject.com/student-perception-teaching/">assessment interaction referred</a>&nbsp;to as formative assessment is defined as follows: Formative assessment is a process used by teachers and students during instruction that provides feedback to adjust on going teachers and learning to improve students’ achievement of intended instructional outcomes (council of chief school states officers, 2008). It is clear from this definition that formative assessment is a process that may <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.modishproject.com/student-perception-teaching/">employ tests or various other types of assessments,</a>&nbsp;but it may also employ interactive instructional strategies such as classroom discussion, assignment, homework, quizzes, project, investigations electronics response system or oral question to guide and improve students learning (Angelo and Cross 1993, Fennell, 2006) creating an interactive learning environment inside the mathematics classroom in which students are engaged in mathematic learning can be challenging.</p> <br><p></p>
