"Studies show that indigenous languages have exhibited enormous impact on the evolution and didactics of counting and place value. However, Ghana systems have different perspectives and pose varied successes on the didactics of counting and place value. In this study, we explored a mixed methods design to examine the mismatch between Ghanaian and HinduArabic systems. With a sample of 178 participants, we further examined not only student-teachers’ knowledge and transitioning but also their skills and conceptualisation in didactising nine Ghanaian languages with respective to the Hindu-Arabic system. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected through test and interview instruments. They were analysed by utilising T-test, ANOVA and verbal narratives which complemented and corroborated each other. The one-sample t-test result indicates that there was no impact of Ghanaian languages on counting and place value systems. However, the ANOVA test result infers that there is an impact of indigenous Ghanaian language on counting and place value systems. The qualitative results confirmed that the studentteachers had average skills in didactising counting and place value systems in the Ghanaian indigenous languages. It was therefore recommended, among other things that, measures should be taken not only to synchronise the Ghanaian languages but also to finetune the languages in tandem with the Hindu."

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
