To this date, few standardized tests measuring students' performance with regards to statistics exist. Only four tests have been proposed for college or university students. The goal of the present study is to investigate these tests. University professors or instructors experienced in teaching statistics were asked to list the concepts they think…

Mathematics is a rich and beautiful playground of ideas, the apex of human creativity and ingenuity, applicable to all the world around us: humankind's best effort at understanding and describing the universe. Mathematics examinations aren't this. They're uninspiring and trauma-inducing, with an emphasis on routine calculations and easy-to-grade…

Creating assessment questions aligned to standards is a time-consuming task for teachers, but large language models such as ChatGPT can help. Bryan Drost & Char Shryock describe a three-step process for using ChatGPT to create assessments: 1) Ask ChatGPT to break standards into measurable targets. 2) Determine how much time to spend on each…

Using gamification in assessments makes learning more engaging and encourages students to participate actively in the classroom. This study investigates the effect of gamification-based formative assessment on academic achievement among primary school students in the context of mathematics learning. Randomized pretest-posttest control group design…

When children are aged around 2 years, many of the early foundations of mathematical skills are developing. Understanding this is important to shed light on theories of mathematical development. Nevertheless, little research has investigated 2-year-olds' early mathematical abilities, with most research focussing on either infants (aged 0-1 years)…

Scoring mathematics exam papers accurately is vital for fostering students' engagement and interest in the subject. Incorrect scoring practices can erode motivation and lead to the development of false self-confidence. Therefore, the implementation of appropriate scoring methods is essential for the success of mathematics education. This study…

The variational thinking of high school students based on mathematical connections was analyzed through a laboratory on linear functions. This qualitative research based on design was developed in three phases: diagnostic test, implementation of the mathematics laboratory and final test, with students from a public institution in Barranquilla,…

This paper presents research activity on computer-based mathematics learning to study the effectiveness of open-source teaching computer platforms (Canvas) in computer-assisted instruction. We designed a set of multiple-choice online quizzes as a dynamical flow-chart of possible paths to follow while solving a difficult math problem on…

This scoping review addresses the limited scopes of current research on classroom assessment in university mathematics education (UME). We examine 67 empirical studies (2012-2024) from two crucial but ignored aspects: assessment purposes and theoretical foundations. Our key findings reveal (1) significant geographic disparities reflecting the…

Mathematics achievement of Indonesian students has not been relatively optimal whereby most of the students still have low mathematics achievement. Hence, the present study develops and produces a digital game called Ucing Sumput that is valid, practical, and effective in enhancing the mathematics achievement of Indonesian students. Research and…

Assessment in education has shifted from summative to formative models in recent decades, with technological advancements facilitating flexible implementation anytime and anywhere. Stemming from this phenomenon, this study aims to identify the trends in mathematics learning assessment in Southeast Asia through a systematic literature review (SLR)…

Background: Students take many tests and exams during their school career, but they usually receive feedback about their test performance based only on an analysis of the item responses. With the increase in digital assessment, other data have become available for analysis as well, such as log data of student actions in online assessment…

Statistical reasoning is a crucial mathematical competency that students often lack. While there have been studies on the use of Android teaching materials in statistics learning, few have focused on statistical reasoning using comic media. This study aimed to develop mobile Android-based teaching materials called StatCom to enhance students'…

This research, conducted between 2020 and 2024 in Romania, investigates the challenges and strategies related to teaching and solving mathematical word problems, based on insights from 163 teachers of grades 0 to 8. The study found that students often experience anxiety when solving word problems, especially during exams, due to difficulties with…

This book summarizes new directions in mathematics education research on proving at the university level, thereby providing contemporary extensions of the sub-fields of proof that Annie and John Selden introduced to the field. The chapters each describe an emerging new area of proof research, review the relevant findings in this area, present open…
