In this article we explore female learners' perceptions of learning Grade 11 geometry. Many learners have difficulty in learning geometry in mathematics, thus, teachers and researchers are constantly searching for reasons why learners have challenges with learning geometry with the aim of developing suitable pedagogic strategies to alleviate these…

This paper presents a case study that is part of a research studying how university statistics teachers integrate digital tools in their practice. The case study is of a teacher who claims to follow constructionist ideas for her teaching of statistics, using the R programming language. The teacher developed a series of activities with R, aiming to…

This study investigates the implementation of the learning management model based on cognitive development theory to enhance mathematical problem-solving ability for Prathomsuksa 6 students. The sample group assigned by cluster random sampling was thirty Prathomsuksa 6 students of Chumchon Yot Kaeng Songkhro School. The research instruments…

The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental study was to determine if, and to what extent, technology-enhanced problem-based formative assessment instruction would have an impact on college students' algebra learning and development of critical thinking skills, when compared to traditional classroom instruction in a first-year college…

Certain aspects of theoretical frameworks in mathematics education can remain unexplained in the literature, hence unnoticed by the readers. It is thus interesting to participate in a dialogue where they can be discussed and compared in terms of the aims, objects studied, results and their relation to teaching. This study is focused on how APOS…

This study investigated how prospective elementary teachers view themselves as learners of mathematics and science during their last year in a teacher preparation program at an American university. Using drawing and reflections as the method for collecting data, prospective teachers were prompted to draw themselves and reflect on learning…

By integrating computational thinking (CT) based mathematical reasoning with early childhood education through programming a dinosaur game in Scratch, this study aims to enhance the pedagogical skills of pre-service teachers by using learning objects (LOs). Also, explores frameworks for LOs construction to align with pedagogical goals, emphasizing…

This research aims to give an idea of the approach of mathematics teaching in primary schools in the early years of Republic of Turkey and compare it with the current approach of teaching within the context of Mathematics Teaching Knowledge (MTK). Therefore, the sample of the study was the article entitled "Arithmetic (Mathematics) Courses in…

This study investigated the relationships between primary school mathematics teachers' conceptions of mathematics, conceptions of teaching and learning, and their commitment in the context of mainland China. A total of 847 primary school mathematics teachers participated in a paper-based questionnaire survey. The results indicated that these…

The derivative is a central concept in calculus and has applications in many disciplines. This study explored students' understanding of derivatives with a particular focus on the graphical (geometric) representation. The participants were four Mathematics Honours students from a university in Lesotho. Data were generated from the written…

Constructionism, best known as the framework for action underpinning Seymour Papert's work with Logo, has stressed the importance of engaging students in creating their own products. Noss and Hoyles have argued that such activity enables students to participate increasingly in a web of connections to further their activity. Ainley and Pratt have…

This paper reports on an intervention as part of which direction fields were introduced to students learning ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The intervention was designed and implemented to address issues with students' conceptions of the solutions of ODEs. These were identified by a diagnostic survey and through a review of the…

This exploratory transcendental phenomenological study delved into the perceptions of selected South Texas public elementary school parents and students as they transitioned from traditional math practices to a personalized pedagogy which incorporated the constructivist model of instruction--blended learning. This study focused on fourth and fifth…

Using lesson observations, the study reported in this article explores how two practising secondary mathematics teachers implemented formative assessment actions in their classroom teaching. The study also investigated whether teachers' beliefs about teaching and assessment could be mapped onto their classroom practices. In particular, while the…

The purpose of this research was to perform a meta-analysis to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of traditional, cooperative, constructivist, and computer-assisted teaching, and also to compare the effectiveness of these four approaches over the last twenty years. So, the present research adopted meta-analysis technique. In order to…
