摘要:This qualitative research study explored barriers that impinged on teachers’ use of their
knowledge of students’ learning styles in teaching mathematics. It was a case study of
three secondary schools in the Makoni District of Manicaland Province in Zimbabwe.
Participants were fifteen mathematics teachers. Results revealed that the barriers were
related to the teachers, the students, the curriculum and the socio-economic status of
the schools. Collaborative teaching, formation of mathematics clubs, mobilisation of
resources, use of excursions and in-servicing of teachers were recommended as ways
of reducing the effects of the barriers.
