This paper focuses on in-service teacher education as a crucial agent in driving educational paradigm shifts for the teaching and learning of mathematical modelling. Our paper presents empirical research based on two case studies, examining training courses for in-service secondary school mathematics teachers. The first course integrates different…

Special tutorials both online and off-line were experimented in order to provide extra support for the senior pre-service mathematics teachers at an Australian regional university to improve their learning experience and achieve the best possible learning outcomes in an advanced mathematics course focusing on solving ordinary differential…

This study examines the utilization of ChatGPT by pre-service mathematics teachers during the 5E lesson planning process, focusing on its affordances, constraints, and potential as a supportive tool in education. Twenty-one pre-service mathematics teachers, selected through purposive sampling, participated in the study. Data collection included 5E…

This study presents an in-depth analysis of the factors influencing the adoption and utilisation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in primary mathematics education. Employing a quantitative research design, the study integrates the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) with empirical data…

Background/purpose: This study examines the effectiveness of Jordan's National Program for Remedial Interventions (NPRI) in mathematics, launched in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, by analyzing its implementation mechanisms, remedial content, and impact on student performance from the perspective of mathematics teachers. Materials/methods: The…

Effective teacher education is expected to ensure that future teachers acquire professional knowledge that is relevant for coping successfully with the requirements of their teaching practice. To strengthen evidence-based teacher education, we need to better understand which teacher education outcomes are predictive for high-quality instruction…

Scholars and practitioners have called for personalized and widely accessible professional development (PD) for teachers. Yet, a long-standing tension between customizing support and increasing access to such support has hindered the scale-up of high-quality PD for individual teachers. This study addresses this challenge by developing a…

The paper evaluates math performance at four high-need middle schools during a four-year intervention, which was designed to help math teachers diagnose students' areas of need and to design lesson plans responsive to those needs. Before the intervention began, the researchers pre-selected four comparison schools by matching based on achievement…

This mixed methods experimental study examined the impacts of the Early College High School model on students' college readiness in mathematics measured by their success in college preparatory mathematics courses in the 9th through 11th grades, and disaggregated for academically prepared and underprepared students. This study looked at the…

Over the last several decades, digital technology (DT) integration in teaching and learning mathematics has received considerable attention, as such integration has not led to the expected results. Teacher education is a critical factor -- even more important than access to tools and devices -- in technology-enhanced teaching and learning. The…

Integrating financial literacy into mathematics education is essential for helping students make informed financial decisions. However, many teachers struggle to design lessons that meaningfully connect mathematical concepts with financial contexts, often due to limited content and pedagogical knowledge. This study addresses this issue by…

A traditional faculty member's job function involves both teaching and research. However, unlike in K-12 education, the majority of faculty members have little to no formal training on teaching methods prior to entering the classroom. This study focuses on implementing Lesson Study as a form of professional development in higher education to…

The opportunity gap between Black and Brown students and their White counterparts in math performance is present in our middle school math classrooms. This opportunity gap creates an urgent need for educators to prepare middle school math teachers with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to build the math content and math identity of…

Early mathematics achievement is a strong predictor of later mathematics achievement, and student competence in fractions and division may be the strongest predictor of success in secondary-level algebra. We used a multisite cluster-randomized trial to estimate the impact of a mathematics teacher professional development (PD) program on student…

Connecting mathematical concepts to real-life situations is a crucial skill in math class. Using mathematical literacy problems in classes may be an option to make connections with real life. In this context, the aim of this research is to reveal the experiences of preservice mathematics teachers in the process of writing mathematical literacy…
