Practices and Challenges Regarding Mathematics Laboratory for Pedagogical Purposes at Secondary School Level
The purpose of this research was to investigate the practices and challenges regarding mathematics laboratory in Punjab at school level. Descriptive survey design was used to collect data through questionnaire. The population was all secondary schools mathematics teachers of district Chakwal. The sample size was 60 through systematic random sampling technique. Only 5 percent of schools had mathematics laboratories but most of the schools had science and computer laboratories even did not have geometrical shapes and activity kits related to mathematics lessons. The big challenge regarding integration of mathematics laboratories was the lack of effective policy from the Government. There was no support from school management to purchase lab-related equipment and not a single period was included in the timetable for the laboratory. It was recommended that govt. may launch an effective policy regarding mathematics laboratory and school management may include three periods per week for mathematics lab work.
