Problems faced by students in the Department of Mathematics in a research project to graduate from their point of view

Abstract

The aim of this study is acquaintance of problem that face the students in their graduation projects due to their viewpoints. The study sample consist of 32 students of mathematics, from the fourth stage (College of education university of Basrah) for the year 2010-2011. Sample consist of 10 male student and 22 female student. Descriptive analytic program is used. The researchers presented questionnaire as an articles to collect data for the research. It incluted two fileds, the first field was administrative problems and the other was Scientific problem. Then the questionnaire is studied and set forth to a number of academic researchers in the field of mathematic teaching methods. The questionnaire has been ensurred from the reliability, then It was applied on a sample of study and by using the medium equation and weight centigrade and T-test, the result are the following: 1- The administrative problems:There is no certain book for the students to help them doing the project.There is no specialized library contains enough references in mathematics in the college of education.2- Scientific problem: Scantiness of experience to preparation the design of search.Weakness in understanding the qualification of good research.3-There is no effect on the sex for the problem that face them in their graduation Projects. The two researchers advise some suggestion to simplify the problem.
