Abstract

Presently, a major desire of many African nations is to be technologically developed. In Southern Africa there tends to be an acute shortage of skilled manpower in the field of science, engineering, and technology. The interrelationship between Mathematics and development of humans to advance the cause of humans is a fundamental importance of Mathematics to humans. In this chapter, the author draws on the many empirical studies which address quality in teaching and learning. The focus of the chapter is to summarize the many research studies in Southern Africa which address the teaching and learning of Mathematics in Higher Education. The author shall confine the studies to those which adopt APOS (Actions-Process-Object-Schema) as a theoretical analysis. So far no research seems to have collated such African studies in a cohesive manner and this chapter intends to do that.
