In this contribution, we address the gap that has appeared in mathematics education research and practice with the emergence of dynamic geometry environments and build on the opportunities these environments offer to school geometry. In our qualitative empirical study, we investigate how to elaborate on the general model of conceptual knowledge to…

Researchers have reported that preservice mathematics teachers' (PMTs') conceptions for radian angle measure are dominated by conceptions of degrees, memorization, and calculational strategies, and are always expressed in terms on [pi]. In this report, I unpack the mathematical meanings of a PMT, Henry (pseudonym), as he engaged in three…

Mathematical beliefs and metacognitive knowledge play significant roles in solving mathematical problems; thus, this study aims to investigate the influence of middle school students' beliefs on their metacognitive knowledge when solving geometry problems. This study utilizes both quantitative and qualitative research methods. A linear regression…

Action-Process-Object-Schema (APOS) theory and the triad of schema development are used as the framework in this study to investigate students' understanding of the concept of "circle." In this report, results are presented from the data analysis of responses to questions in semi-structured interviews of 15 students enrolled in a college…

This is a preliminary study of design research that investigates preservice mathematics teachers' proof level and the possible task of scaffolding-based interventions in proving the triangle theorem. The research subjects consisted of 58 second-semester mathematics education students at Universitas Negeri Surabaya, Indonesia. This research is…

In this paper, I propose an analysis of the structure of Clairaut's "Éléments de Géométrie" (1741), a book presenting geometrical knowledge organized around problems, with rich metadiscourse connecting problems and other elements of mathematical content. This analysis is inspired both by the "Series of problems at the crossroad of…

This paper outlines the design and application of a didactic sequence aimed at facilitating primary students' understanding of axial symmetry, utilizing a combination of digital artefacts and paper tasks. We wondered to what extent the designed didactic sequence is able to make primary school students formulate and validate effective programming…

This study explored strategies to support mathematics specialist candidates (MSCs) in developing a nuanced understanding of equity-centered technology integration in K-12 mathematics classrooms. The conceptual framework synthesized research on effective mathematics teaching practices, technology integration, and the role of mathematics specialists…

The paper is the result of extensive research carried out among Czech students and focuses on a conception of infinity. The questionnaire survey was taken by 861 students ranging from grades 7 to 13. The aim of the research was to describe the development of students' conceptions of infinity. These conceptions are built on the intuitive phenomenon…

This paper reports our efforts to develop a measure of pre-service elementary teachers' geometry knowledge for teaching 2-dimensional (2D) shapes and to evaluate the psychometric properties of this measure. Specifically, the GKT-2D scale was designed to assess pre-service elementary teachers' geometry content knowledge, knowledge of geometry and…

Being able to move between different representations levels (macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic) is important to understand a chemical phenomenon meaningfully. The current study investigated how pre-service science teachers moved from symbolic representation to sub-microscopic representation. A total of 205 pre-service science teachers,…

Despite the significance of incorporating technology into geometry instruction, many teachers still find it difficult to teach geometry using technology. This study employed a techno- pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) survey of 70 pre-service mathematics teachers (29 males, 41 females) from a public university. The goal was to determine which…

The concept of a mathematical definition causes severe difficulties among students during problem solving and proving activities. Students' difficulties with the use of mathematical definitions often arise from the fact that students are often given those definitions instead of constructing them. With the aim of developing an understanding of the…

This study aims to explore in-service preschool teachers' attitudes towards and beliefs about geometry and its teaching and to investigate their knowledge of shapes and solids. The study uses a mixed descriptive approach employing quantitative and qualitative research methods. Thirty-four Israeli preschool teachers of children aged 3-6 from 34…

This study aims to address the teaching of integrals in multivariable calculus concerning the role taken by geometry, specifically, geometrical content dealing with boundaries in integrals that appear as curves and surfaces in R[superscript 2] and R[superscript 3]. Adopting the framework of the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic, we approached…
