In their efforts to meet academic standards, students often rely on supplementary resources such as private tutoring. This study investigates the relationship between private tutoring and academic performance in mathematics and science among primary school students in the Gulf States. Using data from the 2019 Trends in International Mathematics…

Background: First-year engineering mathematics courses present a critical academic challenge, often leading to a significant decline in student self-efficacy, a key predictor of retention and success. While flipped learning is a proposed solution, a lack of longitudinal research using robust comparison groups has limited our understanding of its…

Children in Florida who will be 4 years old on or before September 1st of the school year are eligible to attend a Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program (VPK), provided by either the public school districts or other private providers, regardless of family income. There are several different VPK programs, including Head Start, Title I, and…

Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is a relatively recent entrant into the U.S. early education landscape, combining features of public pre-K and regular kindergarten. We provide the first estimates of the impact of Michigan's TK program on 3rd grade test scores. Using an augmented regression discontinuity design, we find that TK improves 3rd grade…

Purpose: This article aims to investigate the impact of the Lesson Study (LS) model on students' mathematics achievement and attitudes toward mathematics. Design/methodology/approach: The study employs a concurrent embedded design, a type of mixed methods design. Within this framework, a quantitative pretest-posttest control group…

This study implemented intervention strategies to enhance grade 12 students' mathematics perception and self-efficacy to improve their mathematics achievement. Conveniently selected 394 students (200 as comparison & 194 as treatment group) were involved. Two FGDs were conducted. Forty items of mathematics achievement test were administered for…

To improve college students' achievement and success rate in the College Algebra course, a new program called Link2Success (L2S) was implemented in several sections of the course at the study's university. The program required students to increase their class time to six hours. Three of those hours were spent with certified tutors who helped…

This study investigates the effectiveness of a Low-Cost Single-Channel BCI system in improving mathematical learning outcomes, self-efficacy, and alpha power in university students. Eighty participants were randomly assigned to either a BCI group receiving real-time neurofeedback based on alpha rhythms or a sham feedback group. Results showed that…

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of the values-based mathematics teaching activities on mathematics achievement and mathematics attitudes of 8th grade students in Türkiye. For the study, a control group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was used. A total of 59 students (experimental group 29; control group 30) from a…

The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact on student performance due to participation in the Catapult Learning Intervention program in the Mathematics and Reading services offered in a religious non-public school system in the Northeastern United States from grades K-2. Scaled scores from the NWEA MAP assessments administered at the…

Background: Computer-assisted educational technologies that integrate affective supports into math practices could be particularly beneficial for addressing troubling declines in middle grade students' math achievement, affect, and motivation. MathSpring is a web-based intelligent tutor that offers personalised content, remedial tutoring, and…

This study examined the effectiveness of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) driven by real-time feedback in enhancing students' mathematical learning outcomes, as defined by the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes. Conducted within the domains of Measurement and Geometry, the study employed a randomized controlled trial involving 120…

Understanding how to intensify an intervention is critical to implementing response-to-intervention (RtI), a tiered, problem-solving framework to deliver evidence-based interventions per student needs. Research and practice guidelines provide conflicting recommendations for delivering math interventions (i.e., treatment intensity) within RtI. The…

Budget constraints and limited supplies of local tutors have caused many K-12 school districts to pivot from individual tutoring in-person toward small-group tutoring online to expand access to personalized instruction. We conduct a field experiment to explore the effect of increasing student-tutor ratios on middle school students' math…

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…
