Dear Editor,
On the night of Friday September 26 around 21: 45 hours, I viewed a mathematics programme presented by the Guyana Learning Channel relating to the conversion of base ten numbers to base two.
The teacher used a flip chart. In my opinion, the realization of the objectives of the programme was lost to a great extent because the viewer could not read, on many occasions, what was written on the flip chart. Zooming in to the teacher’s written demonstration was not done by the Guyana Learning Channel to assist those watching the programme.
In my opinion, the programme failed to transmit the subject matter effectively. It showed a lack of competence on the part of the mathematics specialists of the Ministry of Education involved to present high quality and meaningful teaching/learning experiences via television.
Yours faithfully,
