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.
