Makerere University Dons resort to music-based model to boost Math performance.

Researchers at Makerere University have developed an innovative music, dance, and drama model designed to help teachers in lower secondary schools teach mathematics, with the aim of improving learners’ performance. The Principal Investigator, Dr Sylvia Antonia Nakimera said that after establishing that despite all the efforts that have been put in place by the government, learners continue to perform poorly in mathematics. She noted that the above forced them to conduct a study to establish the above trend, so that they come up with some solutions to compliment the government efforts. Among the findings was that teachers were teaching learners mathematics after lunch when they are exhausted as well as using the same method of teaching which she said are […]
