Three instruments, a 20-item Mathematics Teacher Instructional Materials Availability Questionnaire (TIMAQ), a 20-item Mathematics Teacher Instructional Material Use Questionnaire (TIMUQ) and a 30-item Multiple Choice Achievement Test (MCAT) were developed, validated (test-retest reliability coefficients of 0.87 and 0.97 respectively for TIMAQ and TIMUQ, and KR-20 coefficient of 0.89 with mean 40.8, S.D. 11.33) for MCAT. Two hundred (200) students (20 per school comprising 100 male and 100 female) were selected from the ten public secondary schools in Akamkpa Local Government Area by stratified random technique, and two (2) Mathematics teachers per school for the study. Results of the simple percentage and independent t-test analyses revealed the non-availability and non use of instructional materials in Mathematics instruction, as well as significant achievement differences between materials-available and non-available schools on one hand and achievement of students from material-used and non–used schools on the other. Useful recommendations were therefore made based on these findings.

It involved thirty boys and thirty girls from two Senior High Schools in Accra, the capital of Ghana in West Africa. All the sixty participants were in Form 1 (SHS1) at the time of the study. Data for the study was collected between June and August 2008 using tasks and interviews. Both qualitative and quantitative analytical techniques were used to analyse the data. The results of the study showed no significant gender differences in the students’ performance on both the routine and the short-writing tasks but showed marked differences between the students’ performance on the routine calculations and that on the short-writing task. The students’ mean score for the routine calculations was significantly higher than their mean score for the short-writing task as the difference between the two mean scores was statistically significant at the 0.1% level. Furthermore, there was a strong correlation between the students’ performance on the two different tasks. The implications of the results for the teaching and learning of mathematics are discussed.

The study used a modified ‘multiple worlds’ model to investigate how the various worlds of the students influenced their science subject choice. All science students of UEW in the 2008/2009 academic year constituted the population from which a sample of two hundred and sixteen (216) students made up one hundred and forty-seven (147) males and sixty-nine (69) females was drawn. Purposive sampling using intact group technique was used to sample the respondents. Two equivalent forms of questionnaire designated as PSQ (for physical science students) and BSQ (for biological science students) were used to collect data on the students’ demographic characteristics as well as their perceptions of influence from their school, family, peer, and societal worlds which impact on their choice of subject. The study revealed that students making different subject choices (physical or biological science) reported similar experiences and conceptions, which did not generally inspire the choice of physical science. Students who chose physical science explained the source of their motivation in terms of high self-concept and perception of selfefficacy especially in mathematics, as well as, availability of resources of peer cultural and social capital objectified in course materials such as books, hand-outs, notes and socioemotional factors such as encouragement, pieces of advice among others. Students also reported building enough self-confidence to enrol in physical science by the encouragement they received through informal contact with physics lecturers.
