“…Since the students are already familiar with the Akan culture, once the concept of geometry is link to the culture it makes the lesson so real and thereby increase student interest, remove fear and improve on academic achievement as found by (Arthur, 2019;Arthur et al, 2022). Researcher across Africa have also come up with similar studies in their jurisdictions where local practices were linked to mathematics concepts (Nur et al, 2020;Sharna et al, 2021;Turugari, 2022). The constructivist learning comes in where the environment of the student becomes avenue for learning.…”

The purpose of the study was to investigate the paybacks of linking senior high school geometry to Akan cultural practice. The study area was the Ashanti region, which houses a chunk of the Akan people. The targeted population for the study included experienced mathematics teachers and people who are well-versed in Akan traditional art. Ten participants were recruited, including seven experienced mathematics teachers and three craftsmen, using purposive and snowball sampling methods. Data collection was conducted through interviews to elicit in-depth information from participants using a semi-structured interview guide. The data was analysed using thematic analysis. According to the analysis, teaching geometry with an Akan cultural perspective fosters conceptual understanding and raises academic achievement through lifelong learning. Secondary, it produces students who are patriotic and innovative, ready to face real-life challenges instead of becoming a burden on society. The researchers concluded that the Akan culture is embedded with concepts that are geometric, and it serves as good tool for teaching and learning geometry at the Senior High School

“…Probability is a tool for describing, measuring, and modeling randomness to help people make sensible decisions under random conditions (Gong & He, 2017). Any misunderstandings about probability can affect a person's decision-making in important situations (Sharna, Sharma, Doyle, Marcelo, & Kumar, 2021). Such is the importance of probability that students of mathematics as prospective teachers need adequate abilities to transfer back the knowledge they have to students.…”

Reflective abstraction is a mental mechanism in mental constructs in which all the structures of mathematical logic are developed in the mind of the individual. The mental mechanisms in question are interiorization, coordination, reversal, encapsulation, and generalization. This research is classified as exploratory research with a qualitative descriptive approach. This research data was taken from three fifth-semester mathematics students. The instruments used in this study were researchers as key instruments, essay tests, and interview guidelines. Data analysis included: 1) preparing the data for analysis, 2) reading the entire data, 3) encoding the data, 4) describing the data and presenting it in the narrative, and 5) interpreting the data and testing the validity of the data using data triangulation. The research found that (1) The first participant went through four components of reflective abstraction: interiorization – coordination – encapsulation – generalization. (2) The second participant went through five components of reflective abstraction thinking namely interiorization – coordination – reversal – encapsulation – generalization. (3) The third participant failed to solve the problem because the thought process in his mental mechanism had not yet manifested coordination, encapsulation, and generalization. Researchers found that the mental construction that the first participant had gone through could illustrate that the minimum mental construction that must be passed in solving the problem of continuous random variables required components- interiorization, coordination, encapsulation, and generalization.

Introduction. The problem of teachers’ professional development at general education institutions is considered in various aspects. Tutorship takes a special place in this process. The need for tutorship is especially acute today since the modern teacher must immediately respond to all changes taking place in the educational system. And not just react but change the content of education, introduce new teaching methods and technologies, and respond to metamorphoses in organisational processes and educational environment. Tutorship makes it possible to organically combine professional development, its personalisation, and at the same time guarantees a comprehensive approach to any educator. The purpose of this article is to present an analysis of the substantive aspect of tutorship in the situation of tutors’ professional development in the system of general education. Materials and methods. A total of approximately 200 teachers from general education organisations of Krasnodar Region (Russian Federation) took part in the survey. The survey took into account the respondents’ social characteristics, including service record, nature of support and content of tutorship. The used methods included modelling, analysis of relevant regulatory documentation, teaching practice, etc. Results. The research exploring the substantive content of tutorship in the situation of tutors’ professional development in the system of general education showed that quite a large number of respondents highlighted the following points: the need to include tutors in the educational system (about 90% of the sample), the need for systemic support of learners with special needs in the educational system by tutors (supported by more than 80% of the teachers), insufficient knowledge of the possibilities of tutors’ work in supporting gifted children, etc. The presented opinions are nowadays actively discussed in the professional pedagogical environment. Conclusion. According to the present research results with respect to pedagogues’ work, the challenging aspects of tutor support in the sphere of general education were identified and the possibilities for substantive content of tutors’ professional development were specified.
