1.2 Background of Study

In the world today, the computer has made a great impact. The computer has so influenced our life so much that people believe that the computer came from the underground world. Some say that the computer is a witch in form of a machine. This is due to the fact that the computer gives information, which is not expected of a machine. These people do not know that programs are written to be used friendly so that it will look as if it knows their problem. Mathematics education is one of the human disciplines that have influence on man’s cultural, social and economic life. Mathematics is essential for the prosperity of a nation in providing devices for comprehending science, engineering, technology and other related subjects. According to the author in (Michellefleming, 2010) mathematics provides students with great and powerful ways to describe analyze and transform the world. It is defined as the science of numbers and shapes (Hornby, 2001).

Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space and change. As important as mathematics is, the research has found out that many undergraduate students still find mathematics a hard nut to crack. And this results in their poor performance in the course. If this situation continues unchecked, it will affect the future development of science and technology in the nation since mathematics is one of the key contributing factors. For this reason, different efforts are geared towards making mathematics a simple, enjoyable and interesting course so that students can learn with keen interest to understanding it.

Mathematics is one of the core subjects that students are expected to have credit to further their studies in institutions of higher learning (Adejumo, Oluwole & Muraina, 2015). However, Mathematics is one of the subjects that is taken very seriously in the school system, irrespective of country or level of education. It has been described as a model of thinking which encourages learners to observe, reflect and reason logically about a problem and in communicating ideas, making it the central intellectual discipline and a vital tool in science, commerce and technology (Uwadia, 2014). Mathematics has been conceived as a difficult subject and hence this hegemony may have contributed to creating problems in mathematics teaching collaborative learning method in teaching mathematics.

The challenges encountered that led to the execution of the research work is that, there is no assurance that challenges or enquiry stated by the students will be attended to at the same time interval, the issue of misplacement of complaints forms or suggestion book, limited time constraints in solving student’s complaints and other related issues, and lack of feedback to students with regard to their complaints or enquiry.


1.3 Statement of Problem

The problem encountered by the case study and its environment while trying to implement the activities of the topic;

  1. There is no assurance that challenges or enquiry stated by the students will be attended to at the same time interval.
  2. The issue of misplacement of complaints forms or suggestion book.
  3. Limited time constraints in solving student’s complaints and other related issues.
  4. Lack of feedback to students with regard to their complaints or enquiry.

  3. Assist the students or staff makes better contribution and provision for repetition on areas a student wishes to repeat.
  4. Facilitate instant feedback to students with challenges of Algebra in Mathematics.

1.5 Significance of Study

The study is very significant as it is tailored to meet the students’ needs in a specific area. Particularly, it will help the undergraduate students of computer science department to have a better understanding of mathematics in the areas covered by the study. The result of the study is the development of a web-based undergraduate mathematics tutor (WBUMT).

  1. When students make good use of this tutor, it will improve their performance in mathematics. The following also buttress the importance of the study:
  • With this interactive math tutor, the students will work at their own pace. In other words, the fast and the brilliant ones will learn faster while the slow ones will go according to their abilities. Due to the fact that the students are actively involved, many problems of indiscipline (distractions) are reduced to the greatest minimum.
  1. As learning progresses from simple to complex problems (i.e. from known to unknown), the students find it easier to follow than the lecturer- instruction method.
  2. In a given time period, more contents are covered than the traditional method.
  3. The immediate feedback of knowing the correct answers reinforces the students’ effort positively. More so, it avoids the fixation of wrong options.
  4. There is also the probability of remedial reinforcement i.e. a situation where student’s answer is wrong, he will have the opportunity to correct it himself or try it again.
