Role of multiplicity in examination oriented teaching destroying mathematics quality education

Abstract

Today the teacher does not focus on knowledge oriented but on result oriented teaching of mathematics in which s(he) focuses on the probable topics that may be asked in mid and end term examinations, so that maximum students can get good grades. Feedback from students and student centric teaching has bounded a teacher to complete the curriculum within a fixed time period and the students’ examination centric study has compelled the teachers to focus on examination oriented teaching. The concept of multiplicity plays an important role in it. Introducing its concepts in definitions, properties, named theorems and examples, we get the concept of recent trends of examination oriented teaching of mathematics. In the paper it has been shown that how the role of multiplicity is applied and how it has been destroying mathematics quality education.
