This study explored the utilisation of GeoGebra as a modelling tool to develop undergraduate engineering mathematics students' conceptual and procedural knowledge of complex numbers. This mission was accomplished by implementing GeoGebra-enriched activities, which provided carefully designed representational support to mediate between students'…

This research was carried out to examine the serial mediation role of mathematics self-efficacy and metacognition for problem-solving in the effect of reading comprehension on problem-solving. The relational research model, one of the quantitative research designs, was used in the study. A total of 699 middle school students studying in official…

Word problem solving is an approach that can increase knowledge, improve performance and develop learners' critical thinking skills that can assist them in solving mathematical and real-life problems. This study examined the effectiveness of using a word problem solving approach to improve Grade 3 learners' performance when learning addition and…

Purpose: The purpose of this research study is to explore simple collaborative technique for teaching mathematics and thus improving the problem solving skills of the students. Better pedagogic activities are required to motivate the students to perceive mathematics as a subject that stimulates problem-solving skills required for engineers.…

This research presents the outputs of problem-solving based STEM education activities applied in an undergraduate mathematics course. An experimental study using a randomized pretest-posttest control group design was carried out to examine the development of elementary pre-service teachers in the fields of mathematics achievement, belief about…

This review study synthesises the literature on how computational thinking (CT) and mathematical thinking (MT) are integrated into mathematics education research with a focus on tasks. A review of 28 relevant articles on the Web of Science Core Collection database indicated that (1) CT helps students develop and apply mathematical concepts and…

Research in psychology and education indicates that corrective feedback can be a powerful learning tool. We provide a developmental perspective to focus specifically on how corrective feedback influences learning in childhood ([approximately]ages 3-11). Based on a systematic search, we review 44 empirical papers published between 1990 and 2022…

The study aimed to investigate the impact of incorporating deep learning strategies in mathematics instruction on students' problem-solving abilities, critical thinking skills, academic achievement, and mathematical skills development. The study population consisted of 280 students, with a sample size of 162 participants. Employing a purely…

Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) has gained popularity worldwide to teach mathematics using real-world problems. This study investigates the effectiveness of elliptic topics taught to 10th graders in a Vietnamese high school and students' attitudes toward learning. The RME model was used to guide 45 students in an experimental class, while…

The purpose of this mixed methods study was to determine how teachers use questioning techniques in their mathematics classrooms and if teacher questioning techniques correlate with student achievement in mathematics. As pacing and rigor increase and students learning styles vary, schools are challenged with finding new ways to make connections…

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between common classroom help-seeking determinants (achievement goals, self-efficacy, prior knowledge, gender, and help-seeking perceptions) and help-seeking behaviors online (hint use percentage, latency of help seeking, answer attempt percentage, feedback level percentage, and seeking help…

This study explored the role of growth in the executive components of working memory (WM) on second language (L2) mathematical problem-solving in elementary school children who are emerging bilinguals whose first language (L1) is Spanish. To this end, children (N = 429) in Grades 1, 2, and 3 at Wave 1 were administered a battery of math, reading,…

This study investigated how motivational strategies predict ninth graders' mathematical problem-solving achievements. The students were grouped based on their school types as students who have high and moderate academic achievements. Quantitative data were collected by motivational strategies for Learning questionnaire and routine/nonroutine…

This study is correlational research and aims to investigate the relationship between pre-service mathematics teachers' mathematical thinking levels and attitudes for courses in mathematics. We also examined whether gender, reasons for career choice, and academic achievement lead to significant differences in pre-service teachers' attitudes and…

Background/Context: The problems that school district leaders identify and how they frame them have consequences--for both policy implementation and the ways that teachers respond. Although that is likely true in all community contexts (from rural to urban, inside and outside metropolitan centers), the influence of broader discourses associated…
