Option 3 : C
The teacher plays an important role in the teaching-learning process as he/she is the first and primary resource of learning for the students. Teachers can make a vast difference in the learning process through effective teaching. Teacher's beliefs impact learner's performance in mathematics:
- Students highly follow the teacher as he is their role model.
- They may get or lose confidence depending on the teacher and his relationship with the students.
- If the teacher believes that his/her students can do it he/she designs appropriate strategies and takes students towards success.
- Students learn what the teacher teaches them their performance depends on what the teacher delivers to them and what he expects from them.
Hence teachers' beliefs impact learners' performance in mathematics. On the other hand, the statements children coming from rural backgrounds find mathematics difficult and boys are better than girls in problem-solving are just myths and stereotypes which may hurt students.
