| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to investigate students' interaction in mathematics classroom, the factors which influence students' classroom interaction. Furthermore, it is intended to look for possible means of solving students' classroom interaction problems. Qualitative case study was employed to carryout this study. For this study three secondary schools were selected purposely. Then, four mathematics teachers and eight grade ten students participated in the interview. Four purposely selected classrooms were observed five times and fourteen students were involved in focused group discussion in three sections. Expecting them to give rich information to the researcher, teachers and students were selected purposively. Three instruments namely unstructured classroom observation, unstructured interview and focused group discussion have been employed to collect the necessarily data from the three purposely selected government schools of Borena zone- namely Abaya, Tore and Gerba secondary schools. Qualitative technique was used to analyze the data. The result of the study revealed that, classroom interactive activities were not implemented properly due to teachers' domination, teachers' lack of awareness to interactive activities, teachers' unfair treatment, lack of confidence of students and speaking experience in front of people, students' earlier experience and improper seating arrangement. Based on these findings and conclusion certain recommendations have been made to minimize the problem and to increase the interactive ability of students in order to develop learners' participation in mathematics classroom. | en_US |
