Main points: 
  1 ) A huge part of poor performance in National examinations in Kenya is contributed by weak performance in Mathematics.  Nonetheless, this is due to the incompletion of the syllabus, insufficient assignments to students, inappropriate teaching methods and students negative attitude towards the subject. However, Odhiambo (2006) stated that there is shortage of Math teachers in Kenya unlike urban schools where the problem isn't outlined. This means that the performance of mathematics Is declining or decreasing.

(2) some teachers' attitude towards their students in school may affect there achievements in and attitude toward the subject.

(3) Teachers personality towards Maths plays a very important role in a child's development. However, the attitude of the teacher put a negative or positive impact on the students whether they want to learn or not. Lastly, 
a teacher should be always prepared to teach a subject given and all requirements should be met. 

Comparison Kenya and Jamaica :
*shortage of mathematics teachers due to monthly salary
* Mathematics specialts need assist with the learning of mathematics education in Jamaica.
* students poor attitude and performance in Mathematics

Main points:
(1) Teacher experience and competence are the prime predictors of students' performance in all subjects (Mainly Math) in secondary learning/ education.
(2) Differential teacher effectiveness is a strong determinant of differences in student learning.
(3) Teachers' attitude towards the teaching of Mathematics plays a significant role in shaping the attitude of students towards the learning of Mathematics.
(4) The teacher is the most indispensable factor in the effective administration of any education system.
Comparison:
(1) The teachers in Kenya are similar to those in Jamaica in that, they do not have a passion for the subject or teaching profession and as a result, they teach to generate an income rather than for the sake of their students.
(2) The stigma surrounding Mathematics has resulted in a shortage of Math teachers in the education system in both Kenya and Jamaica.]]> 2016-11-07 22:44:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_lue_simpson/groupeattitude/wish/135960902 Kenya  https://padlet.com/cheryl_lue_simpson/groupeattitude/wish/135960977 Group members:

Main points:
- Math performance forms a large part of the overall poor performance in secondary schools exit exams in Kenya
- Deliberate attempts have been made to study the problem of the poor performance in mathematics which cite curriculum not fully covered,
- Teachers' attitudes is seen as a key indicator of students' attitudes and perfomance in mathematics
- Teaching needs to be interesting and motivating
-Students positive attitude could be inspired by:
--- teacher's grounded knowledge
---- teachers' resourcefulness and helpfulness
----teachers' enthusiasm
- Preparation of teachers for their leadership and managerial responsibilities as a classroom is important since its the classroom teacher who

(1) Students' attitude towards Mathematics has been a factor that is known to influence students' achievement in Mathematics.
(2) Factors from the home environment and society also affect students' attitude towards Mathematics ,for example, educational background of parents, occupation of parents and parental expectations plays a crucial role in influencing students' attitude towards Mathematics.

Attitude can be defined as a summary evaluation of an object of thought (thinking that mathematics is difficult and they cannot do it) fearful.- Attributes are:- cognitive (beliefs, thoughts, attributes), affective (feelings, emotions), behavioural information (past events, experiences). - Teacher & teaching:- classroom management, content knowledge, materials used and learning mathematics, teaching methods. Comparison with the Jamaican classrooms. Because the classes are big , students do end up getting left behind. Some even feel very disinterested in the subject because they don’t get as much attention as they feel would be adequate. Also the lack of passion shown by the teacher can affect how a child learn. https://padlet.com/cheryl_lue_simpson/groupeattitude/wish/141197583 2016-12-01 17:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_lue_simpson/groupeattitude/wish/141197583
