The problem solving performed by students in solving mathematical literacy problems shows that at the developmental stage of proportional reasoning students have different strategies, especially at the developmental stage of functional and scalar relationships. The purpose of this study is to identify and explore the developmental stages of…

The basic notions of combinatorics, including systematic listing and permutations, are important topics of mathematics that are recommended to be learned eventually from elementary schools. However, there is little research in mathematics education regarding elementary students' combinatorial strategies. The purpose of this research is to…

This exploratory qualitative case study design aims to examine the mathematization process employed by pre-service mathematics teachers during instruction grounded in Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) within Plane Geometry. It was studied as this shall have a cascading effect on the teaching-learning of schools. Carried out at a teacher…

Research often examines cognitive load as it relates to direct instruction, worked examples and problem-solving combined as an integrated whole. The present study examines these strategies in isolation to see their effect on cognitive load. Using learning materials covering the basics of critical thinking to undergraduate law students (n = 160) at…

This study aimed to develop the STREAM (Science-Technology-Religion-Engineering-Art and Mathematics) teaching model for enhancing grade 8 students' creative and engineering design process skills. The innovative STREAM teaching model consisted six common teaching steps: a) Introduce the STREAM situation; b) Identify the targeted problem; c) Explore…

Teaching is an immensely complex profession that often requires managing multiple and varied professional challenges. Despite these challenges, teachers tend to report moderate to high levels of well-being. This qualitative study explored this paradox by investigating the professional challenges reported and the coping strategies Swiss teachers…

This study follows a network-based Assessment Redesign Project at a Canadian university to investigate engagement and sustained implementation. The following strategies were employed in the project: mini-grants, embedded support, a community of practice, and social networks. Assessment facilitators worked in discipline clusters to achieve mutual…

This study investigated the forms, causes, effects, and solutions to challenging behaviours in primary schools in Ibadan South West Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria. The qualitative research design of the case study type was used for the study. The study population consisted of pupils, teachers, and school heads. The purposive sampling…

Purpose: This paper aims to examine the barriers to adopting collaboration in architectural design studios from the instructors' perspectives and explore strategies to overcome barriers. Design/methodology/approach: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 coordinators in architecture and interior architecture design studios to gather…

Higher education institutions in Cameroon have undergone a major transformation (since the 1993 reforms) with a major objective to improve on the quality of graduates. However, concerns about leaders who are central to the implementation of these reforms have not been taken seriously. We live in a,multicultural context, especially in Cameroon with…

Professionals are increasingly involved in attempts to understand and address problems with wicked tendencies, which require crossing boundaries between disciplines, organisations and stakeholder perspectives. This multiple-case study investigated six higher professional education courses in order to develop better understanding of how teachers…

The main purpose of this research is to determine the effect of the REACT strategy in augmented reality applications on the problem-solving skills of teacher candidates. A parallel mixed method, which converges from mixed research designs, was used in the research. The study group of the research consists of 50 teacher candidates studying at the…

Universities and scholars around the world teach and research extensively in the field of peace education; yet, despite a plethora of diverse scholarship, educational programs are often critiqued as dominated by the English-speaking world. This paper employs the intersecting lenses of decolonization and postcolonial theory to explore and challenge…

This article explores school-home collaboration as a pedagogical phenomenon and contributes to a rationale for collaboration between school and parents in upper secondary education. The theory of practice architectures is used as an analytical lens. It sheds light on arrangements that enable or constrain the semantic, social, and physical spaces…

The present study aimed to determine the views of classroom teachers on the inclusion or exclusion of current issues in classroom instruction, to investigate these views based on the definition of current issues, the methods and techniques employed in the instruction of current issues, the analysis of the instruction, and the positive and negative…
