| dc.description.abstract | This study intended to investigate on contribution of competence based curriculum on students’ performance in mathematics in secondary schools in Tanzania. The study objectives were to examine the strategies used in implementing CBC, to investigate stakeholders’ perceptions on the strategies used in implementing CBC, to investigate inspector’s perceptions on low performance in mathematics after the introduction of CBC and to find out the challenges that hinder implementation of CBC in mathematics. The study employed Constructivism Theory. The study used qualitative research approach and descriptive cross-sectional survey design. It employed purposive, stratified and simple random sampling techniques whereby it uses 142 sample sizes. The study findings revealed that most of the teachers were aware of the strategies used to implement CBC although most of them did not practice it because of inadequate skills on how to implement it. Inadequate teaching and learning facilities, time and large number of students in classrooms were identified to be key factors which hindered the implementation of CBC in mathematics. The study concludes that CBC strategies were not well implemented in secondary schools in Tanzania. The study suggests that the government should provide in- service training to mathematics teachers and supply enough teaching and learning materials so that competency based curriculum will be effective implemented in the classroom. | |
