The administration and management of school based assessment for learning in the teaching and learning of mathematics at Kambule technical secondary school in Mongu district, Zambia.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the administration and management of school
based assessment in the teaching and learning of mathematics at Kambule Technical
Secondary School, Mongu district. The study looked at school based assessment on
international and local. This was narrowed to Kambule Technical Secondary School
A total of 15 grade 12 pupils and 7 mathematics teachers were used as respondents to find
out on four key research questions. These were: What is the importance of the school based
continuous assessment in teaching and learning of mathematics, how are results obtained
from school based assessment used to improve student’s learning and classroom instructions,
what are the challenges faced by teachers and pupils in the administration and management
of the school based continuous assessment in teaching and learning of mathematics and how
can quality assurance be maintained during the administration and management of the school
based continuous assessment in the school.
The study was qualitative and data was analyzed and results indicated on tables. The result
show that little is done on the school based continuous assessment in schools. On both pupils
and teachers. This has contributed to poor performance in mathematics.
It is recommended that the school administration strengthen monitoring of teaching and
learning of mathematics and other subjects if good performance is to be realised.
