The study examined the effect of the mother tongue teaching on students mathematical achievement. From St. Joseph Senior High Technical School, two experimental classes and one control class were chosen. While the control group was instructed only in English, the first experimental group was instructed exclusively in their native language (Twi), whereas the second experimental class was instructed using mother tongue (Twi) as an additional medium of instruction. The results of the pre-test and post-test were statistically examined using the t-test. The findings showed that using Twi as the sole teaching language and using English as the only training language were equally unsuccessful, while mother tongue (Twi) was found to be statistically significant in improving students mathematics achievement.

The study concluded that the use of the mother tongue (Twi) as an additional medium of instruction had a statistically significant effect on senior high school students mathematical achievement.Furthermore, teaching students solely in English or their native language (Twi) did not demonstrate improvement in their mathematics proficiency.Therefore, the study recommends that the government allow senior high school teachers to supplement their lessons with the students mother tongue while teaching mathematics to enhance comprehension and engagement.

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk mengeksplorasi efektivitas penggunaan bahasa ibu sebagai media pengantar dalam konteks kurikulum matematika yang berbeda di Ghana, termasuk mempertimbangkan tingkat kelas dan topik matematika yang spesifik. Selain itu, studi komparatif dapat dilakukan untuk membandingkan dampak penggunaan bahasa ibu dengan pendekatan bilingual lainnya, seperti penggunaan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa pengantar utama dengan dukungan bahasa ibu untuk konsep-konsep yang sulit. Terakhir, penelitian kualitatif dapat dilakukan untuk memahami lebih dalam pengalaman dan persepsi siswa dan guru tentang penggunaan bahasa ibu dalam pembelajaran matematika, termasuk tantangan dan manfaat yang dirasakan, serta bagaimana hal ini memengaruhi motivasi dan kepercayaan diri siswa dalam belajar matematika. Penelitian-penelitian ini akan memberikan wawasan yang lebih komprehensif tentang peran bahasa ibu dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar matematika siswa di Ghana dan dapat menginformasikan pengembangan kebijakan dan praktik pembelajaran yang lebih efektif.
