ABSTRACT
This study reports on the material that were designed for enhancing students‟ attitude
towards Mathematics through learner centered approach in Tanzania secondary
schools. The main purpose was to support the implementation of Competence Based
Curriculum in Form Two Mathematics syllabus. Constructivismwas usedto guide the
design of instructional learning activities. The study concerted and adapteda quasiexperiment
and phenomenology designs using an intervention and control schools.
Data were gathered through documentary review, interviews, questionnaires,
observations, and pre and post tests.The findings and observations from the study
revealed that there was a relationship between students‟ learning with designed
exemplary Mathematics material in Set and students‟ positive attitude on
Mathematics learning. Both teachers and students were found to be more interested
in learning through the designed materials. The materials seemed to be effective in
promoting students‟learning of Mathematics through of competence-based
syllabus.The study concludes that, although teachers are aware of Competence Based
Curriculum, they do not implement it well. The designed approach proved
acceleration of teachers‟ pedagogical content, knowledge and skills in teaching Set
using Learner Centered Approach. The study recommends the material to be adopted
by Mathematics teachers in order to raise students‟ interest.
