This study intended to improve the worded problem-solving skills of Grade Three pupils by using the developed Mathematical Learning Package utilizing Survey Question Read Question Compute Question (SQRQCQ) strategy. Specifically, it determined the significant difference on the level of performance of the respondents before and after utilizing…

Open-ended problem-solving skills have been identified as employable skills, which undergraduate students will need to have in order to cope with real-life problems in their workplaces after graduation. However, the development and assessment of these skills have been inconsistent across courses offered in universities. This research examined…

Coordinate geometry is an important part of mathematics. It helps students develop thinking, logic, and problem-solving skills. This study was conducted to test the effectiveness of the CORE learning model in promoting students' mathematical problem-solving skills when they learn the method of coordinates in a plane. Consequently, this study used…

Three studies examine a novel pathway by which the perseverance component of the personality trait "grit" might predict college students' behavioral persistence when solving challenging math problems. Specifically, we focus on the intervening role of what we refer to as "math-specific self-perceptions of perseverance," which…

Reducing inequity is the moral imperative confronting today's educational leaders. Central to reducing inequity is leaders' ability to solve the school-based problems that contribute to it, while building the positive and trusting professional relationships required for teachers to commit to the hard work of improvement. A theory of collaborative…

Because there are immediate and long-term implications when preschool children exhibit challenging behavior in the classroom, it is crucial to prevent and address challenging behavior as early as possible. Social and emotional teaching strategies have been shown to reduce challenging behavior of preschoolers and increase social and emotional…

Classroom incivility is a critical concept relating to the academic and psychosocial well-being of children and youth. However, there has yet to be research investigating whether there are social benefits to this behavior in early adolescence. Therefore, the goal of this study was to explore the relationship between classroom incivility and…

This study explored 1634 Chinese eighth-grade students' domain- and task-specific self-efficacy and its relationship to their problem-posing performance. In particular, the linear regression model, generalized additive model (GAM), and piecewise regression model (PRM) were used to detail the linear and non-linear relationships between these…

Using metacognitive strategies to enhance EFL reading comprehension is well-established, but it remains unclear how strategy use may differ according to individual reader characteristics like gender and reading ability. To address this limitation in the literature, 137 Chinese EFL university students completed a reading comprehension task and the…

This mixed-method study explored disruptive student behaviors and administrators' support for teachers in dealing with disruptive behaviors. The researcher collected data from teachers and administrators with online questionnaires. A Pearson r correlation showed a significant relationship between disruptive student behaviors and teachers'…

An increasing number of students in schools across America are being raised by grandparents. Multiple factors contribute to a child being removed from a biological parent's home and placed in custodial grandparent care. The increasing phenomenon of the grandfamily, and the instances that often lead to this new familial structure, may have…

Background: Research on teaching and learning for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects has increased, and has demonstrated the importance of integrating interdisciplinary knowledge and skills. Our research model was based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the data were analyzed by partial least…

This paper explores student emotion and learning experiences fostered by lecturing-style instruction in Real-Analysis problem-centered lessons. We focus on two lessons that were taught by two reputable instructors and involved challenging, mathematically-related problems the students did not understand. Nonetheless, one lesson evoked negative…

In this study, representations used by preservice mathematics teachers in the process of solving limit problems were determined, the inter-representation transformation competence levels were investigated and the relationship between them was examined. In this context, "Limit Representation Transformation Test" with a reliability of…

Collaborative problem-solving (CPS) engages students in solving ill-structured problems, creating group knowledge, and developing self-regulation and collaboration skills. Different scaffoldings, such as minimal-guided, task-oriented, and idea-oriented, can be used to facilitate students' CPS activities, but their effects have not been…
