The main aims of geometry are the development of thinking abilities of spatial intuition about the world, knowledge necessary to study more mathematics as well as the ability to interpret mathematical arguments. Research highlights the direct relationship between teachers’ competency in teaching geometry and quality of education. It is also argued that this relationship has more weight than any factor that impacts on education. Therefore, it is essential that professional learning as an important factor in teacher competency be given more attention if the quality of education is to be improved and achieved. In this regard, teacher competency is viewed as a pivotal link needed to ensure meaningful and sustainable change in high school mathematics teachers. This implies that teacher competency is the cornerstone for effective implementation of the teaching-learnin...

The mathematics students’ characteristics that the researchers focused on, related to: their gender, age, the parents they stayed with, the percentage mark they expected in an upcoming test and final year examination, whether they attended extra-classroom geometry tutorials and how frequent, whether they intended to study further, as well as which careers they wished to follow. These different characteristics were selected based on literature readings relating to, for instance, students’ choice of career, including differences between males and females in career choice. The question pose in this study was: What were mathematics students’ characteristics and views about geometry? In order to answer this question the quantitative research design was used. Data was collected using Johnson modified version questionnaire. Participants were 231 gr...
