The process of teaching and learning must include assessment. Teachers' assessment approaches are influenced by how they view mathematics evaluation. This study set out to discover how Ghanaian elementary school teachers felt about mathematics assessment. A descriptive survey research approach was used because the study wanted to learn more about the perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, and other characteristics of the sample as a whole. Sixty-three (63) elementary school teachers were selected as a sample. According to the study, teachers generally had positive perceptions about what should be assessed, how it should be assessed, and the feedback to give to students, despite the fact that their perceptions about mathematics assessment generally do not align with the current thinking on assessment (socio-constructivist view). However, teachers had favorable opinions about what should be examined, how it should be assessed, and how to provide feedback to pupils. Future researchers are advised to use observation to learn more about the real assessment methods used by mathematics teachers. This will make it easier to offer the teachers specialized support to enhance their classroom activities, including assessment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
