Introducción. Sin ninguna duda, la disciplina de Estudios Sociales se incluyó en el currículum escolar de Nigeria poco después de la independencia, dando los primeros pasos en 1963. Una disciplina de tal naturaleza apareció por el afán de tener un curso que pudiera ayudar a la comprensión y búsqueda de soluciones para los problemas de confrontación en una sociedad que necesitaba incrementar la calidad de la enseñanza para los estudiantes. Así pues, es necesario aunar técnicas y estrategias para transmitir los contenidos de la misma. El artículo investiga los efectos que tres estilos de docencia (aprendizaje cooperativo, resolución de problemas y enseñanza convencional) tienen sobre el rendimiento de estudiantes de educación secundaria en dicha disciplina.Método. El diseño de la investigación se corresponde con un diseño pretest-postest con grupos no equivalentes de carácter cuasi-experimental. Participaron 150 estudiantes (80 hombres y 70 mujeres) que forman parte de una muestra estratificada correspondiente a tres centros de Osun State, Nigeria. Además, y basado en el diseño, los estilos de docencia fueron cruzados con el género.Resultados. Los resultados muestras que los estudiantes expuestos a estrategias de aprendizaje cooperativo tenían mejores rendimientos que los compañeros de otros grupos. Los resultados también indican el efecto de las estrategias de docencia en función del género de los estudiantes.Discusión y Conclusiones. Los resultados del estudio son significativos y relevantes. Estos resultados han tenido implicaciones en la planificación curricular, la formación del profesorado, cursos de formación continua y práctica en el aula.

Mathematical communication skills of junior secondary school students in coastal area are still considered low due to the lack of contextual problem technique in the teaching of mathematics. The various potencies of the coastal area have been damaged without any concern. It is interesting to investigate the contextual problem in mathematics teaching because it can be identified, required, and related to everyday life. The objective of this study is to enhance mathematical communication skills of junior secondary school students in the coastal area. Using coastal-based contextual teaching and learning (CCTL) can enhance: (1) students’ mathematical communication skills better than conventional teaching and learning (CVTL); and (2) the students’ learning activity, fluency of argument in problem solving process, advanced question skills, and knowledge of coastal area potencies and problems.

General problem-solving steps consist of understanding the problem, developing a plan, implementing the plan and checking the result. The purpose of this study is to explore how well Indonesia junior secondary school students apply these four steps in solving mathematical problems, especially on plane geometry topics. Using a qualitative approach, with a sample of nine students, of which three students were from the low mathematics achievement category, three from the medium and three from the high category, were given a test and instructed to write the answers to each question step by step. The results were described and categorized into four groups. The first group consisted of students who used all of the four steps. The second and the third were for students who used the first three steps or the first two steps respectively. The fourth group was for those who could only show the first step. The study indicated that for this sample the level of mathematic ability corresponded to how the students applied their problem-solving steps. It was found that students with high ability were included in the first group, while those with moderate ability were in the second group. Low ability students were categorized into group four. Nevertheless, there was one student with high ability who did not to do the checking step and there was one student with low ability who was able to develop a plan.
