Revision

12 November 2017

Math and science have become a fundamental concern in most countries in order to expedite the requirement of technological advancement and development. Henceforth, a dismal performance or non-correspondence of the current learner outcome in relation to today's world needs a prompt evaluation of the need of the subject. The purpose of this paper is to unearth the truth and to find answers to the oral interview through the use of scientific approaches. In essence, the study will describe and explain how a re-teaching approach can improve students' performance of math and science in schools in the United States. This has been done through documentation of the survey questions, presentation and analysis of data, discussion of the findings, recommendation, and a brief conclusion.

Survey Questions

The following survey questions were tailored in pursuit of relevant responses to the curricula need: Comment by Grammarly: Deleted:t Comment by Grammarly: Deleted: acquire

Survey Data

The data to be used in the examination of the necessity of re-teaching math and science in schools had been obtained through naturalistic observation, interviewing, and administering a questionnaire to a sample of 5 administrators, 5 teachers, 20 students, 3 peers, and 20 parents.

Who should be responsible for teaching the senior secondary students math and science?

The responses were obtained from the questionnaires that were given to 20 parents.

Should technology be integrated into the instructional process of math and science?

Twenty students answered this closed-ended survey question, and the feedback was recorded as follows: Comment by Grammarly: Deleted: 20 Comment by Grammarly: Deleted:question this Comment by Grammarly: Deleted:s Comment by Grammarly: Deleted:ere

Discussion of the findings

In this section, the visual data from the survey questions are interpreted to inform the curriculum developer on the gaps that exist between the actual performance and the expected performance in math and science. Comment by Grammarly: Deleted:s

The nature of the re-teaching content

The largest number of the respondents backed the idea of condensing the subject matter to be tackled in the second teaching of similar content, followed by those who were for an elaborative nature, whereas few were for the combination of the two elements of content. This could be interpreted as preferring narrow concepts instead of broad concepts.

Re-teaching done by the same or a different teacher

The respondents agreed that the second teaching of similar content previously taught should be done by the same teacher, while some were for a different teacher. An insignificant number was between the same or a different teacher. The proponents of the very teacher to offer the second delivery argued for the second chance while enabling the teacher to correct the mistakes committed during the first teaching.

Teaching senior secondary students math and science Comment by Grammarly: Deleted:of

The highest percentage of the contacted parents were for the teaching of senior secondary students by experienced and long-serving teachers in the system, followed by those who supported novice teachers, and the smallest percentage was from those who supported either teacher to handle the seniors.

Integration of technology in instructional process of math and science

A bigger number of the urban students were for its incorporation, followed by those from who were confused, while the smallest number of rural students seemed to buy in. Comment by Grammarly: Deleted:s Comment by Grammarly: Deleted:–

Recommendation

The following are some of the advised issues essential for curriculum developers to take into account to address the acute needs in math and science: Comment by Grammarly: Deleted:of

Those tasked with facilitating learning should be passionate about it; a good teacher should have intrinsic motivation. The federal and state government should not hire or employ teachers on the basis of qualification. A teacher might possess the qualification for the job description, but he or she may lack the innate qualification to offer the best experience and fail to deliver quality content. Ideally, there could be novice teachers who are capable of doing better than their experienced counterparts (Säfström, 2014).

It is evident that change is imminent, no matter the time or location of individuals in the world. Education must change by embracing technology to sync with current societal needs. Kaleli (2015) asserts that the millennial would perform better in education and, particularly, math if technology is combined with the traditional teaching methods.

There is a need to condense the workload to be covered by learners and for teachers to woo learners to like math and science (Stacey, 2015). The contextual need in these two subjects tends to scare away most students who presume them to be too technical and too demanding.

Conclusion

The world's needs are changing, and education, being the epicenter of all the sectors in an economy, has to produce the best brains to propel these needs. Significantly, the US must ensure that it occupies a position among the industrialists of its constellation. Falling midway between the assessments should not be condoned for status quo maintenance. If we cannot match them, then the country will be compelled to export expatriates in the science and technology fields to solve our technological conundrum.

Furthermore, interdependence in the world, which is less compassionate than yesteryear, tends to deprive its sovereignty and exposure to more terror attacks. The country spends a lot on experts who only offer temporary solutions as opposed to educating and empowering their own who are responsible for a nearly permanent solution.
