Abstract:
This study investigates the perceptions of teachers and students regarding mathematics pedagogical issues in junior secondary schools in Ikorodu, Lagos State. Mathematics is a fundamental subject that plays a crucial role in a student's overall education and future academic and professional pursuits. However, there have been concerns about the effectiveness of mathematics education in Nigeria, particularly at the junior secondary school level.

The study adopts a mixed-methods research design, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gather data. The participants include mathematics teachers and junior secondary school students from various schools in Ikorodu, Lagos State. The research instruments used are questionnaires for teachers and students, as well as semi-structured interviews with a selected group of participants.

The quantitative analysis of the survey data focuses on identifying the perceptions of teachers and students regarding various pedagogical issues in mathematics education, such as teaching methods, curriculum content, classroom environment, and assessment practices. Descriptive statistics, such as frequencies and percentages, are employed to analyze the quantitative data.

The qualitative analysis of the interview data involves a thematic analysis to explore in-depth the experiences, beliefs, and suggestions of teachers and students. The qualitative findings provide rich insights into the underlying factors influencing the perceptions of mathematics pedagogical issues in junior secondary schools.

The study aims to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on mathematics education by shedding light on the current state of pedagogical practices in junior secondary schools in Ikorodu, Lagos State. The findings of this research will help identify areas that require improvement and inform the development of effective strategies to enhance mathematics teaching and learning in the region.

It is anticipated that the study's outcomes will provide valuable information for policymakers, curriculum developers, and educational practitioners to make informed decisions and implement evidence-based interventions to improve mathematics education in junior secondary schools in Ikorodu, Lagos State, and potentially in other similar contexts.

Keywords: mathematics education, pedagogical issues, perception, junior secondary schools, Ikorodu, Lagos State.
