CONTENT ANALYSIS OF 5TH GRADE MATHEMATICS (SNC) FOR PROBLEM-SOLVING ACTIVITIES

Abstract

This research paper is about the content analysis of the 5^th grade Mathematics developed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa text book board under the auspices of the Single National Curriculum (under Federal ministry of education and training) for the checking the relevancy of the Problem-solving activities at the end of each exercise and lesson. For this purpose, the Content analysis manual method was used in which codes and patterns were constructed to uncover the data.  For this purpose, the content analysis model of Kirchendorff (2004), was adapted in which replicable and inferences from texts are derived at. After the analysis of the 5^th grade Mathematics of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa text book board, following findings were listed. (i). The exercises were given which do not match the SLOs that are pre-defined. (ii). The exercises target just the lower level of cognitive level of skills (iii). The exercises did not emphasize the upper levels of Bloom’s taxonomy (iv). The problems solving activities in the 5^th grade Mathematics have unevenly distribution of mathematical domains.
