Abstract:
The focus of the research was to figure out how various instructional strategies affected students' academic performance when learning mathematics at Buweswa Secondary School in Manafwa District. The three main goals of the research were to: determine the impact of teaching strategies on students' academic performance in mathematics; describe the various strategies used in teaching mathematics; and propose some efficient strategies for secondary school courses. The researcher combined both qualitative and quantitative data management strategies with a descriptive survey design. The study relied on a sample size of 220 respondents chosen from teachers and students at Buweswa Secondary School utilizing a purposive sample and simple sample selection procedures. The material was produced by the researcher using data collection techniques such as questionnaires and interviews. Using the SPSS application, the data was evaluated to assess its reliability and for data analysis. According to the researcher's study, the following conclusions were drawn: bad math performance is a result of the characteristics of math teachers, including their methods, attitudes, expertise, training, and access to teaching resources. A student's interest, attitude, expectations, and sense of discipline are among their traits. They are also influenced by their parents, teachers, and peers. Average class size, the quality of the math facilities, and the math teachers are all characteristics of the school. Conclusion, Activities for teaching and learning should guide students towards to the desired learning outcome. This is dependent on the teaching strategy the teacher employs. To avoid boredom and to increase engagement, the teacher should approach the subject while the pupils are focused and engaged. Beginning lessons from the known to the unknown will help students quickly understand the subject matter. Near the authors are the respondents from Buwesswa Senior Secondary School. According to their views, teaching methods contribute in a greater extent to poor performance in mathematics.
