During my practice as a Teacher trainee at an upper secondary school it became clear to me that many pupils had difficulties with mathematics. I was surprised to find that many pupils seemed to get stuck on the level of attainment for the senior level of the nine-year compulsory school. As I have not studied anything about difficulties in Mathematics during my training to become a qualified Teacher, I would like to get to know more about this.After studying research done on this subject I made the following approach to the problem:? What fields regarding Mathematics do the pupils themselves find most difficult?? What factors have been contributory causes to these problems?? What are the factors that have helped pupils with difficulties in Mathematics to reach the goals for the syllabuses in Mathematics?The answers to my questionnaire and interviews resulted in the following conclusions:? Pupils find theory of equation and conversion of units as most difficult at senior level of the nine-year compulsory school.? Teaching should be done in special instruction groups to give the pupil the opportunity to develop his/her skills on an individual level.? Pupils find it hard to deal with all moments in Mathematics during the time given for each course.? The pace for teaching Mathematics is too high according to the pupils.? Pupils wish for instructions on a lower level.? There is often a lack of contact between Teacher and pupil.? The Teacher should use more time to help the pupil receive good self-confidence and increase the motivation for instructions in Mathematics..

The purpose of the study was to find out how Teachers in a school in Kenya conducted the education of mathematics in standard 4-6. The focus was how the Teachers worked with children in need of special support in mathematics.To find out the purpose a case study was made with two interviews and seven observations with four Teachers on a rural school in Kenya. The following issues were: Which standards were there in the classrooms during lessons in mathematics in Kenya? How did the Teachers express the view of children in need of special support? The main conclusion was that different Teachers teaching in mathematics looked the same.The Teacher was standing in front of the blackboard where the teaching occurred and the pupils were sitting lined up in their benches. The teaching of the pupils was about repetition and imitates the Teacher and mostly filling the gap that the Teacher made them say.

Im trying to promote the importance of mathematics wich characterizes much of our society.

This study is conducted from qualitative research with interviews as a basis, where I have interviewed four Teachers from elementary school?s early ages (year 1-3). The aim is to highlight the Teacher?s perspectives and experiences of reading aloud, and how they connect the activity to gender.The questions at issue that have been answered in this paper are how the Teacher?s reflect to gender and reading aloud in a school environment; do the Teacher?s reflect over the gender perspective when choosing reading aloud literature? When reading aloud, which attributes are important to highlight for girls and boys according to the Teachers? Which books do the Teachers consider "good" gender literature?The paper is based on the theoretical grounds of social constructivism, gender as construction, gender conscious pedagogy and reading aloud. In previous research the focal point has been Kåreland?s study on gender in literature in pre-school, and on how children are being portrayed in children?s literature today, from a gender perspective.The Teacher?s that have been interviewed in this study all agreed on the fact that reading aloud is a very important part of education and are used by most Teachers on a daily basis.

The result of the study shows the Teachers need to be attentive and also that the pupils generally do not notice when the Teacher works to prevent conflicts.

The purpose of this project is to examine students' pespectives on quality in teaching. The characteristics that are described to denote a 'good' and 'less good' Teachers are linked to ideas about types of corresponding leadership styles in the classroom. The report is based on surveys of students in Upplands-Bro high school outside Stockholm. In order to get better insight and further knowledge of the subject, the student accounts have been related to current discussions in the literature about good leadership and teaching quality.Following the methodology of grounded theory a pilot study was constructed to design the research instruments. In the pilot study I collected students' perceptions on quality-related categories in teaching and leadership which then formed a bases for a survey which was distributed to a larger student sample. The survey includes questions that relate to the middle order, which is based on three criteria that make up the characteristics of a 'good'/ 'less good' Teacher and the leadership style that suits students descriptions of good Teacher characteristics.The results of the study show that a good Teacher should have subject knowledge, be good at writing and illustrating the curriculum on the whiteboard and explain and clarify their instruction through good communication.
