Abstract

This article examines the methods used by teachers in Zambia’s western province as they teach linear programming. It made use of the case study design. Eighteen participants were purposefully chosen for this study, and they participated in focus groups and one-on-one interviews that produced data. A thematic approach was used to analyze the generated data. According to the teachers use peer-reflective teaching, academic assessment of students, interactive methods, gathering student input, and group projects to teach linear programming. but not to the extent that they had developed their reflective practices to the point where they were becoming critical and creative thinkers. The report recommends that education standards officers maintain the regulations in place to control enrollment and classroom congestion, enabling instructors to deliver instruction effectively and efficiently and optimizing student benefits, in light of the findings.
