Ju-Hui Wei; Hsueh-Hua Chuang; Thomas J. Smith – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2024
Previous research suggests that teachers' adoption of inquiry-based teaching is influenced by school culture's openness to creative solutions, with teachers' self-efficacy in inquiry-based teaching acting as a mediator. However, considering the potential impact of local educational and socio-cultural context on teachers' behavior, findings from…

Theogene Niyomufasha; Celestin Ntivuguruzwa; Leon Rugema Mugabo – Cogent Education, 2024
The subject of physics can sometimes seem esoteric and challenging to engineering students. It would be beneficial to create a more conducive learning environment for them by combining words, mathematical equations, graphs, and diagrams to increase their problem-solving abilities. It has been demonstrated in mechanics that employing multiple…

Avraham Merzel; Efraim Yehuda Weissman; Nadav Katz; Igal Galili – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Teaching quantum physics (QP) to high school (HS) students is gaining momentum, necessitating the exploration of various effective methods. Specifically, the research on quantitative teaching methods is still in its early stages. Understanding the power of Dirac notation (DN) in teaching is crucial for grasping the complexities of QP, as it…

Stephanie Lynn Blanton – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This convergent mixed methods study investigated the relationship between the assessment-capable learning (ACL) instructional model, John Hattie's influence referred to as "students driving their own learning," and math achievement in kindergarten. While Visible Learning literature has focused on secondary and higher education, this…

Sanela Mužar Horvat; Branko Bognar – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
The aim of this action research was to make significant changes to mathematics teaching in a combined second and third primary school class based on the characteristics of high-quality mathematics teaching. A further aim was to improve student satisfaction with the lessons. The changes in teaching were systematically monitored and reflected upon…

E. Taranto; G. Colajanni; A. Gobbi; M. Picchi; A. Raffaele – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Operations Research (OR) is a branch of applied mathematics that deals with optimization problems arising from different real contexts. The solving process of its problems is based on the construction and resolution of mathematical models, showing the possible connections between mathematics and the real world. Nevertheless, OR is not typically…

Brandon Remmelgas; Shanna L. Lowes; Holly E. Bates – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Diabetes mellitus and obesity are major public health issues that significantly impact the health care system. The next generation of health care providers will need a deep understanding of the pathophysiology of these diseases if we are to prevent, treat, and eventually cure these diseases and ease the burden on patients and the health care…

Steven Vincent Cobb – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The issue of low math performance, particularly in schools serving historically marginalized communities, requires immediate attention. Despite implementing various interventions, including leadership changes, curriculum updates, and hiring consultants, student achievement in math has remained stagnant at Ida B. Wells Academy (Wells). This case…

Hamed Hosseini Zarrabi; Morteza Rezaei-Zadeh; Abasalt Khorasani – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2024
While effective interaction is the most important element of any learning environment, its importance in e-learning has been often ignored. As a result, many e-learning environments suffer from lack of impactful interactions, leading to diminished student engagement. This study aims to address this gap by investigating methods to optimise…

Prachagool, Veena; Nuangchalerm, Prasart – Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2021
The rapidly changed in our society and education may influence to nature of learning and learning behaviors in young new generation. The 21st century learning is requiring educators to prepare our children by quality of learning and teaching. Teachers are key change agent to help learners live and learn with new learning environments. The study…

Toker, Zerrin – International Journal of Contemporary Educational Research, 2021
This study aims to elicit the role of formative feedback in the development of students in a mathematical problem-solving process. For this purpose, the study's primary process is to investigate the development of elementary school students (aged 10 to 11) through feedback given during a problem-solving process. While visually engaged in the…

Mousley, Keith – American Annals of the Deaf, 2021
Fractions and the understanding of fraction concepts affect later conceptualization of advanced mathematics and affect how people live their everyday lives. Research shows that many deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) students have not mastered fraction skills even by the time they enter college. In the present article, the author looks at literature…

Ayalon, Michal; Naftaliev, Elena; Levenson, Esther S.; Levy, Sigal – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
This study explores secondary mathematics teachers' attention to the three components of Jaworski's (1992) "teaching triad" (i.e., "mathematical challenge," "learning management," and "sensitivity to students") as they planned a lesson revolving around a rich mathematics problem and assessed pre-designed…

Gilbertson, Nicholas J. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
When one sets out to solve a mathematics problem, a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment comes with finding the answer and knowing it is correct. In contrast, a student performing the correct process to solve an algebra equation and getting an answer such as 3 = 0 may be left perplexed and not understanding what--if anything--he or she did…

Jacinto, Hélia; Carreira, Susana – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2021
This study aims at understanding the role of the tools chosen throughout the processes of solving a non-routine mathematical problem and communicating its solution. In assuming that problem-solving is a synchronous activity of mathematization and expression of mathematical thinking we take our proposed Mathematical Problem Solving with Technology…
