This classroom-based action research investigates the impact of teaching problem-solving heuristics on preservice teachers' mathematical creativity, self-efficacy, and problem-solving beliefs. The study was conducted with seven preservice teachers at a state university in the Philippines, using a Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle. Participants were…

Background/purpose. The strategic goal of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) literacy is to develop scientifically and technologically equipped global citizens who are innovators and problem-solvers in a rapidly changing world. The study contributes to this goal by drawing pedagogical implications from examining college…

Proficiency in solving mathematical problems is essential for preservice elementary teachers, as they will teach foundational math concepts and foster problem-solving abilities among young learners. However, many studies found low problem-solving performance among preservice teachers. In line with this, the present study examined how…

This study explored how students develop and demonstrate resilience when prompted with mathematical problems. Anchored on the Three-Dimensional Resilience Theory in Mathematical Problem Solving, a multiple case study was conducted on thirteen (13) purposively selected students from a public senior high school in Davao City, Philippines. The…

This study investigated the impact of computer-aided assessment on the enhancement of critical thinking skills in non-routine problem-solving across three distinct learning delivery modalities: fully online, balanced blended, and predominantly face-to-face (F2F) blended. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of computer-aided assessment in…

Transdisciplinary thinking is crucial for addressing global challenges, yet standardized assessment tools for high school students are lacking. This study addresses this gap by developing and validating a transdisciplinary thinking scale (TTS) tailored for this demographic. Following established methodologies, the TTS was crafted through expert…

A multiple regression analysis was conducted to investigate what variables may predict the student's self-perceived proficiency in mathematics. Hence, this quantitative cross-sectional survey design aimed to explore the factors predicting the student's self-perceived proficiency in mathematics using gamified instruction. Two hundred twenty-five…
