Students' Perceptions of Learning Mathematics: The Impact on Achievement in The Ga East Municipality

Abstract: This study was conducted to evaluate students' attitudes and perceptions toward the learning of Mathematics and its impact on academic achievement in the Ga East District. The study's data was acquired through the use of a quantitative descriptive survey method. The study included a selection of 35 boys and 35 girls drawn using a purposeful sampling technique from three Junior High Schools in the Ga East District. The questionnaire served as the primary data gathering tool. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the data analysis. Findings show that the students have a positive perception of learning mathematics. The data also showed that the students' performance was not significantly impacted by their perception of mathematics. The study recommends that teachers should use instructional strategies that take into account learners' differences or learning hurdles, reduce anxiety, foster active interest in, and appreciation of, what is being taught and learned.
