Abstract

This study aimed to find out the current status of the implementation of CA, the attitude of teachers and students toward CA and the challenge facing the implementation of CA. The study involved 6 general secondary schools which were purposely selected from 17 general secondary schools. 551 students, 22 mathematics teachers, and 6 directors were involved in the study. The study used mixed methods design to conduct the research. Data were collected through questionnaire, interview, observation and document analysis. Percentage, one way ANOVA and T-test were statistical method used to analyze and present the data. Finding showed that most teachers use CA during teaching learning mathematics. But there are variations between teachers, schools, Woreda and city administrations. Accordingly, it is hardly possible to say CA is implemented effectively in teaching and learning mathematics in the study area. It can simply be concluded that CA is implemented only moderately. The study concludes that teachers have positive attitude toward CA and they accepted CA is important to improve the achievement of learners. Students have also positive attitude toward continuous assessment but, the awareness of students toward CA is very low. Large instructional content, lack of clear guide lines, lack of access internet and reference books, plasma television interruption, teacher miss class, teachers’ lack of training and teachers commitment are the challenge facing the implementation of CA. The researcher recommend that in service training of teacher should be encourage by woreda and zonal education office, the school have to reduce shortage of school facilities to enhance CA effectively by participating students family, community and non government organization, and all teachers have to commit equally in the implementation of CA.
