Problem-solving competency is crucial for social development, especially in complex environments. In mathematics education, problem-solving enhances logic, creativity, and analytical skills, contributing to societal progress. This article identified quantitative information about important publications, authors, resources, and research trends on…

Identifying students' difficulties in understanding Gauss's and Ampere's laws is important for developing educational strategies that promote an expertlike understanding of the field concept and Maxwell's equations of electromagnetic phenomena. This study aims to analyze and compare students' understanding of symmetry when applying Gauss's and…

Pattern recognition is an important skill of Computational Thinking and is one of the most important competences for solving a problem that involves finding similarities or patterns in small problems to solve more complex ones. In this work, we present the mobile application software Patrony. The main contribution of this work is to promote the…

Computational thinking (CT) is an indispensable higher-order competency in our complex, digitalized era; its development in students can be an effective tool for societal problem-solving. This research aimed to use an escape room to develop students' computational thinking using challenges oriented toward Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 of…

This paper presents strategies identified in Mexican rural school students in seeking structure on equivalence tasks that involve the equal sign and tasks that do not. The results arise from the pilot study of a research project on the structure of numbers and numerical operations -- a key aspect of early algebraic thinking. [For the complete…

This paper reports a qualitative research that identifies Mexican high school students' social representations of mathematics. For this purpose, the social representations of "mathematics", "learning mathematics" and "teaching mathematics" were identified in a group of 50 students. Focus group interviews were carried…

The questions addressed in this paper are: how do students interpret the non-solution problems as a mathematical practice in the classroom? What kinds of arguments do the students offer? To deal with these questions the utterances of students working in the classroom with problems in which they had to look for general relations in order to argue…

Enzyme kinetics is a difficult subject for students to learn and for tutors to teach. During the practicals included in the biochemical courses at the Faculty of Chemistry of Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, we found that the students acquire good training in the calculations to obtain kinetic parameters such as K[subscript m], V[subscript…
