Gender Dynamics in High School Mathematics Education: Impact of Teachers and School Environment on Female Students Attitudes and Achievement

This study investigates the impact of teacher gender and school type on the attitudes and academic performance of female high school students in mathematics. Utilizing a sample of 262 final-year high school girls and 10 mathematics teachers from both mixed-gender and single-sex schools in the Sunyani West District located in Ghana, the study employs surveys and achievement tests to gather quantitative data. Statistical analyses reveal several key findings. Male and female teachers shared similar beliefs regarding female students in general. Significant differences emerged in perceptions of students' mathematical abilities. Girls taught by male teachers exhibited lower anxiety levels (t (260) > 1.96, p < 0.05) and higher self-confidence (t (260) > 1.96, p < 0.05) in mathematics compared to those taught by female teachers. Additionally, mixed-gender schools fostered more positive attitudes towards mathematics among female students compared to single-sex schools (t (260) > 1.96, p < 0.05). There were positive correlations observed between students' attitudes towards mathematics and their academic performance, highlighting the importance of teacher-student relationships in shaping students' perceptions and achievements in mathematics. These findings underscore the need for inclusive teaching practices and the recruitment of qualified mathematics educators to support the academic success of female students in mathematics. Future research could explore the disparate treatment of male and female students in mathematics classrooms and investigate effective pedagogical strategies to promote equitable learning outcomes.

Providing Education about HIV/AIDS in Smks. Santo Yosef Nazaret Jayapura District

ABSTRACT The lack of appropriate and relevant information about HIV/AIDS and supported by the curious attitude of teenagers causes teenagers to be one of the populations with high risk behavior. Apart from that, the problem of HIV/AIDS in adolescents does not only have a negative physical impact, but can also affect mental health, emotions, economic conditions and social welfare in the long term. This not only affects teenagers themselves, but also families, society and the nation so that knowledge and attitudes have an important role in shaping behavior in preventing HIV/AIDS. However, in this case it is necessary to provide information in the form of education to increase knowledge and improve their own attitudes. The method used in this service so that students can be interested and absorb the education provided more quickly is providing education through audio-visual media (video) and print media (leaflets). Health education using videos and leaflets has a more significant impact on increasing knowledge because teenagers will be more interested in videos and leaflets, making teenagers less bored of watching and reading. Keywords: Education about HIV/AIDS, Knowledge and attitudes of female students, HIV/AIDS Videos and Leaflets, SMKS. Santo Yosef Nazareth, Jayapura Regency.

Understanding female students’ risk perceptions of developing breast cancer at Great Zimbabwe University

This article focuses on breast cancer as the second most prevalent cancer in Zimbabwe. However, despite several local studies on breast cancer and its risk factors, the incidence rate of the disease in the country is increasing. This article sought to establish the level of awareness of the risk factors of breast cancer among female students. The study was carried out at Great Zimbabwe University, an institution of higher learning in Masvingo province, Zimbabwe. A mixed methods approach was employed involving a focus group discussion comprising eight key informants and online individual questionnaires with open and closed questions used to capture attitudes of female students towards breast cancer. Risk factors were categorised into age, family history, reproductive factors, oestrogen, and lifestyle. There were also some cultural beliefs like bewitchment and myths about black brassieres causing breast cancer. Thus, there is need for educative campaigns to disseminate breast cancer information, especially promoting regular screening and awareness of predisposing factors. Additionally, more regular and in-depth studies on breast cancer in Zimbabwe are imperative as our results show a higher prevalence rate than current official statistics. The research provides relevant information for pastoral caretakers handling trauma in the discipline of practical theology.Contribution: This article represents an intersection between practical theology and basic health care. Insights resulted from this study provide a baseline upon which to develop ways to reduce prevalence of breast cancer. The research can also be utilised by specialists in pastoral care and women theologies.

Factors that Contribute to Junior High School Female Students’ Negative Attitudes toward the Study of Mathematics in the Fanteakwa District, Ghana

Students negative emotions, beliefs, and behaviours toward the study of mathematics have tremendously contributed to their poor performance in the subject and it is caused by factors emanating from home, socio-cultural background, school, students and teachers. The aim of this study was to examine factors promoting the negative attitudes of female students toward the study of Mathematics in five selected Junior High Schools within the Fanteakwa District of Ghana. The researchers, therefore, used the sequential explanatory mixed method in order to generate the data from 125 respondents comprising of 120 female students and 5 mathematics teachers using a questionnaire, a semi-structured interview, and a focused group discussion. The result showed that female learners in the district exhibited negative attitudes toward mathematics as a subject; they developed fear and hatred for the subject, lacked self-confidence. The causative factors of these attitudes included sociocultural backgrounds; the lack of female role models, early marriage, and gender stereotypes. Home factors were the lack of parental support, illiterate parents, overburden household chores and poverty. Teacher factors included not creating the enabling environment for teaching and learning, the lack of teaching learning resources during lesson. The lack of reward pages for teachers and students, in-conducive environments were factors relating to school environment. The study concluded that students in the district had negative attitudes toward learning of mathematics; they considered the subject to be difficult and developed hatred for it. These were attributed to factors relating to home, socio-cultural, school, students and mathematics teachers. The study implied that the government of Ghana and policy makers should develop gender-friendly curriculum, sensitise parents to support their children’s education, train teachers to handle the subject well. The researchers, therefore, suggest that further studies on the topic should be undertaking using a larger sample or the study can be repeated in other districts and or the entire country so that a more holistic picture can be generated.

Effectiveness of Health Promotion Videos in Preventing Breast Cancer

Background: Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer among women worldwide. Out of a total of all types of cancer (348,809 cases), breast cancer contributed 58,256 (16.7%). Lack of information, knowledge, and awareness about breast cancer often results in adolescents not taking the initiative to engage in early detection, which is the first step in preventing breast cancer. The objective of this study is to determine the educational effectiveness of breast self-examination (BSE) using leaflets and audio-visual media on the knowledge and attitudes of female students at SMA Negeri 1 Bukateja.Method: A quasi-experimental research design was employed, utilizing consecutive sampling. The study included two research groups with a total of 64 participants. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test.Results: The effectiveness of audio-visual media and leaflets in increasing knowledge and attitudes of female students about BSE was found to be statistically insignificant (p-value > 0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that both leaflets and audio-visual media have a similar effectiveness in improving adolescent attitudes towards BSE. Future researchers should consider utilizing alternative media, such as WhatsApp, for BSE education, as previous studies have shown it to be more effective than leaflets in enhancing knowledge and attitudes among young women regarding early detection of breast cancer.

Female high school students' knowledge and attitude toward breast cancer

BackgroundBreast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Even though early detection and diagnosis of this disease can reduce mortality considerably, several studies have shown that more than 92% of women are unaware of the risk factors for breast cancer and of breast cancer screening tests. The simultaneous promotion of screening and provision of education can increase community health and reduce medical costs, and students can play a leading role in informing and educating people in society.AimThe present study aims to examine the level of knowledge and attitude of female students in senior high schools in Fasa regarding breast cancer screening.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, the random sampling method was applied to survey 350 female high school students, only 311 of whom completed the study. Questionnaires were completed in girls' high schools, and the data was analyzed by SPSS Software, Version 25.ResultsThe results revealed that more than 87% of students were unaware or had incorrect information regarding breast cancer screening. The link between the type of breast cancer information sources and students' general knowledge was significant. Most students were aware of the risk of breast cancer, but they were uninformed of its symptoms, risk factors, and prevention strategies, and students with a family history of breast cancer had a higher score in terms of mammography knowledge than students with no family history of breast cancer, although this difference was not significant (mean ± standard deviation = 0.94 ± 0.90 vs. 0.67 ± 0.81, p = 0.19).ConclusionThe level of awareness and attitude of Fasa high school girls regarding breast cancer and screening methods is not acceptable. Therefore, it is recommended that educational programs be implemented to increase the awareness of students in schools, so that the number of screenings increases with the institutionalization of this information. Likewise, by transferring information through students to their families, the level of awareness in the whole society will hopefully increase as well.

Confessional Instruction or Religious Education: Attitudes of Female Students at the Teacher Education Faculties in Serbia

This paper presents an empirically study on the attitudes of female university students at all Teacher Education Faculties in Serbia (TEFS). For the purposes of this study, a survey was prepared to be completed by students online, and virtual exponential non-discriminative snowball sampling was applied. The independent variables were religion, major subjects, year of study, age, the completion of secondary schooling, whether an optional subject was studied during previous schooling, and whether female students were employed. The dependent variables were the respondents’ attitudes to religious instruction and civic education. The sample included 372 students from all TEFS, and the research was conducted in the period from 15 May to 8 June 2022. The data were processed with the aid of nonparametric statistics. The results showed that religion did not contribute to differences in students’ attitudes and opinions regarding the method of performing religious instruction and civic education, but that some other factors contributed to it, such as previous experience with these subjects and whether the respondent had completed secondary schooling. These results may be interpreted in the light of the weaknesses of the confessional model, that is, the lack of knowledge regarding the basic paradigms of other confessions, which is of great importance for countries such as Serbia which have numerous national minorities and religious communities.
