Functional thinking is essential for maritime vocational college students, particularly when solving mathematical problems related to navigation safety. However, limited studies have explored functional thinking among vocational maritime students. This study aims to explore the functional thinking processes of maritime vocational college students…

Undergraduate students in an education program, or preservice teachers, are expected to practice and teach productive struggle in mathematics as they prepare for their career. Productive struggle in mathematics requires students to persevere in solving rigorous tasks, despite their frustration in doing so. Therefore, a student's level of…

In undergraduate mathematics education, students' collaborations have gained a reputation as a 'good' learning practice. A more complex image emerges once collaborations are construed as an arena where cognitive, social, and affective matters intertwine in ways that can fuel and impede learning. In this study, I take a close look at a…

While contemporary mathematics education literature argues that curricular resources, such as textbooks, play a significant role guiding mathematics teachers in what and how they teach, it also shows that these resources often do not do what they say they will do, nor adhere to the standards they claim to further. When it comes to the most…

The aim of this study is to investigate the trends in research related to problem posing in mathematics education. The study focuses on the articles on problem posing in the Web of Science database between 1990 and 2021. The term co-occurrence map, which was created depending on the data in the text with the bibliometric analysis of the articles…

Reflective thinking, problem solving and probabilistic thinking are important processes in mathematics education and considered to what extent those processes can be carried out by elementary school students is essential. The study is conducted with 188 eighth grade students. As a result, no significant difference is observed in reflective…

In the spirit of the networking of didactical theories, it is advocated in this presentation in favor of a mixed networking of philosophical theories, namely Husserlian phenomenology and hermeneutics, and didactical theories to produce a fertile interplay between philosophy and mathematics education. The cross-analysis of students' work on a…

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…

The interrelationship between mathematics and science education has frequently been emphasized, and common goals and approaches have often been adopted between disciplines. Improving students' problem-solving skills in mathematics and science education has always been given special attention; however, the problem-posing approach which plays a key…

The purpose of this exploratory study was to understand how and to what extent personality traits, positionality, and content knowledge influence students' susceptibility to persuasion during groupwork. Personality surveys, recorded videos, and semi-structured interviews provided evidence to support the findings. The findings confirmed that…

Previous work has looked at the relationship between high school preparation and student performance in calculus-based introductory mechanics (physics 1) courses. Here, we extend that work to look at performance in introductory calculus-based electricity and magnetism (physics 2), and we look at the significance of what college math courses have…

This study investigated preservice middle school mathematics teachers' (PSTs) understanding of proportional and nonproportional relationships and their abilities to differentiate these relationships from each other. The PSTs' abilities to interpret and represent proportional and nonproportional situations and solution strategies were also…

The need to raise achievement levels in mathematics and science has led instructional design researchers to focus on the factors that enhance achievement in these subjects. Understanding of students toward mathematics achievement may guide educators in their efforts to promote achievement by designing learning models that provide the most…

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…
