Over the last two decades, researchers have portrayed quality professional development for mathematics teachers as collaborative and situated in teachers' instructional realities. However, empirical findings also point out various impediments to transforming teacher conversations into consequential learning. These findings illuminate the need to…

For Jean Herbison, learning in her early 20th century childhood world was relatively uncomplicated and predictable. Life was shaped by unambiguous family, faith and settler colonial prescriptions about how children "should" behave and what they should become.

This paper focuses on the time teachers take to adapt to a student-centred inquiry approach to teaching mathematics, the nature of those changes and the reasons for variations in both these aspects among teachers within and across schools. Five numeracy experts, who worked with 200 Foundation to Year 2 teachers to facilitate the implementation of…

Having students write reflections has been shown to help teachers improve their instruction and students improve their learning outcomes. With the aid of Natural Language Processing (NLP), real-time educational applications that can assess and provide feedback on reflection quality can be deployed. In this work, we first evaluate various NLP…

Mastery learning improves learning proficiency and efficiency. However, the overpractice of skills--students spending time on skills they have already mastered--remains a fundamental challenge for tutoring systems. Previous research has reduced overpractice through the development of better problem selection algorithms and the authoring of focused…
