Abstract

The present study has the general objective to analyze the factors that influence the pedagogical performance of 10th grade students in Mathematics at Escola Secundaria de Machava Sede. The research questions that the study sought to answer are: (1) What factors influence the pedagogical performance of 10th grade students in Mathematics? (2) How do these factors influence the pedagogical performance of 10th grade students in Mathematics? (3) What is the impact of the factors that influence the pedagogical performance of 10th grade students in mathematics? The study was carried out on the basis of an interview with 9 mathematics teachers from the 10th grade of general secondary education and questionnaires to 24 students of the 10th grade, both belonging to the Mavhava Sede Secondary School, the combination of these data collection techniques had the purpose of obtaining opinions rich and diverse concerning the study problem. Through bibliographic research, it was found that the factors that influence the student's pedagogical performance are: the participation of parents and guardians; the social class; Family income, teacher-student ratio, teaching methods and motivation. With the field research it was found that the factors that influence the pedagogical performance of students in the 10th grade of Escola Secundaria da Machava Sede in mathematics are: lack of good family income which negatively influences due to several limitations that students face in the school environment such as: limitations in their food to stay in school, limitations in the acquisition of school materials and transportation expenses; the lack of monitoring and help from parents and guardians has a negative influence, insofar as the lack of help does not allow the student to acquire the knowledge, experiences necessary for the mastery and maturation of the subjects given by the teacher, the time that students dedicate to the study of the discipline of mathematics, influence in a negative way, since when a student has less time to dedicate to the studies, less possibilities have to explore the contents of the discipline of mathematics for its better understanding and diagnosis of possible doubts for a clarification of the teacher, the lack of motivation to learn mathematics and the students' opinion in relation to the mathematics discipline, negatively influence the extent to which students who believe that mathematics is a difficult subject to understand lose motivation to learn, the teaching methods negatively influence due to the inappropriate use of some methods, ignoring the conditions of the classes, the complexity of the subjects and the ability of the students. The study recommends that the school discourages parents and guardians from child labor, not to exceed the recommended number of 50 students per class so that teachers can better manage their classes, and recommends that teachers make diversified use of the teaching methodologies, encourage students to do their homework and ask their parents and guardians for help, to motivate and create a harmonious relationship with their students, and finally recommends parents and guardians to help their students with their homework, create conditions for their students to have a tutor for the mathematics discipline.
