This paper reports on a novel corequisite design and implementation for College Algebra at Florida International University. The corequisite course uses online, just-in-time, prerequisite assignments delivered on an open-educational platform. Students get help from near-peer learning assistants inside a math emporium environment. The course…

This article provides teachers with a toolkit for assessing students in the context of data-based individualization (DBI) in mathematics. Assessing students is a critical component of DBI because it provides teachers with information about what they may need to modify in their instructional programs. In this article, we provide teachers with…

This study investigates the types of instruction multilingual learners (MLs) experience in the general education classroom in upper-elementary school. Using the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010-2011 (ECLS-K) we examine the types of instructional practices MLs experienced in reading, math, and science in fourth and…

Large Language Models have recently achieved high performance on many writing tasks. In a recent study, math word problems in Carnegie Learning's MATHia adaptive learning software were rewritten by human authors to improve their clarity and specificity. The randomized experiment found that emerging readers who received the rewritten word problems…

Background/purpose: This study aims to design and validate an interactive e-module for primary mathematics instruction grounded in differentiated instruction and the theory of didactical situations (TDS). Amid growing calls for inclusive and adaptive pedagogy under Indonesia's Merdeka Curriculum, the integration of digital technologies within…

The use of technology and tools that enable the automation of personalized learning systems has become increasingly relevant and has attracted substantial attention in the field of research. Under this premise, the present study examines the potential of using personalized instructional sequences with activities in the Moodle learning management…

This article describes research on the use of a differentiated approach in assessing students' academic achievements during mathematics lessons. The study used theoretical and empirical research methods. In particular, normative documents and scholarly literature were reviewed, and in 2021, the study conducted a survey of online mathematics…

This study used a mixed-methods design to examine teachers' responses to professional learning on mathematics differentiation. Grade 3 classroom teachers (N = 28) attended four 2-h professional learning sessions and an additional 2 h individually on differentiation and completed pre- and post-surveys with quantitative and short response items…

The debate between cooperative group learning and individual instruction has long been a focal point in educational discourse. This research study explored these two instructional methodologies' comparative efficacy and benefits in fostering learning outcomes and skill development. This research study was conducted using fifth-grade classes from…

There has been a notable number of respectable studies in mathematical creativity and its promotion in education with K-12 pupils. Nonetheless, when it comes to mathematics education in higher education, there is not a wide variety of studies. One can observe that the mathematics content in higher education is completely different from the K-12…

The purpose of this study was to use a quasi-experimental design (QED) to examine the effectiveness of i-Ready Personalized Instruction on student achievement on a summative state assessment (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System; MCAS) in a year of learning disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic. The study sample consisted of about 11,000…

Kindergartners' math skills predict later academic outcomes. However, we know little about kindergarten mathematics instruction. Using data from 182 classroom observations in a large urban district, we explore time spent on mathematics and math content coverage. We also examine two underinvestigated aspects of kindergarten math instruction: (1)…

This study looked at the effectiveness of differentiated learning in enhancing students' mathematical outcomes by incorporating varied content, processes, and products. Employing a mixed-methods experimental design, the research hypothesized that differentiated instruction significantly influences students' performance in mathematics exams. The…

Personas, initially originated in user experience research, are short and simplified representations of particular user groups, and this methodological approach has recently gained ground in educational research. This study aims to explore aspects of personas that may be beneficial for prospective mathematics teachers when they develop digital…

Computer-assisted instructional programs such as intelligent tutoring systems are often used to support blended learning practices in K-12 education, as they aim to meet individual student needs with personalized instruction. While these systems have been shown to be effective under certain conditions, they can be difficult to integrate into…
