The purpose of conducting this research was to compare mathematics
curriculum documents of two different systems for secondary education
namely SSC (Secondary School Certificate) and O Level. The objectives
were: to compare the mathematics curriculum at GCE (General Certificate
of Education) O Level and secondary school certificate system with special
reference to; objectives, content and teaching method; and to find out
comparative strengths and weaknesses in curriculum objectives, content and
teaching methods suggested for teaching mathematics both in the GCE O
Level system and SSC system. Research method included survey technique
and documentary analysis. The curriculum documents of both the systems
were analyzed to collect data about objectives of mathematics teaching, the
content offered and methods of teaching as recommended by the document.
Text-books were analyzed by the teachers with the help of an evaluation
scale. Data analysis involved Mann Whitney U test, t test and documentary
analysis. Results showed that O Level system of secondary education has
more comprehensive objectives for mathematics teaching and better textbooks. The methods of teaching suggested in both the documents however,
were found same. It was recommended to revise objectives, set for
mathematics teaching and the text-books taught in SSC system of secondary
education.
