Özet:

 


Assessment is a powerful tool for raising the
standards of teaching and learning of mathematics at the junior high school
level. This study therefore explored the perceived influence of assessment on
the teaching and learning of mathematics in junior high schools of OLA Circuit
in Cape Coast Metropolitan area. The research design used for the study is a
concurrent triangulation mixed method design. A simple random sampling
technique was used to select four (4) public junior high schools out of eight
(8) schools in the circuit. A multi-stage sampling procedure was employed to
select the schools and participants for the study. A total of 134 participants
comprising 15 teachers and 119 students participated in the study. The data for
the study were mainly collected through questionnaires and interviews. Findings
of the study revealed that class exercise, homework, and trial work were the most
common mode of assessment used by teachers during mathematics instruction.
Again, the study discovered that teachers faced some challenges in the
implementation of classroom assessment. The study therefore makes certain
recommendations likely to improve on the quality of assessment practices in
mathematics classrooms in the focal schools.
