Anaerobic digestion is a complex biochemical process that is represented by the stoichiometric Buswell's equation. Buswell's equation is the study of the interface among biochemistry, mathematics, and chemistry. Students often have difficulty in understanding the nature of biochemical stoichiometry. Buswell's equation is significant for the…

Knowledge integration remains, paradoxically, both a key methodology and an elusive mystery in crossdisciplinary work such as interdisciplinary studies, team science, and transdisciplinary research. Many case studies have described compound events and iterations leading to remarkable integrative achievements. Even though a wealth of work on…

The Charles A. Dana Center at the University of Texas at Austin launched the Dana Center Mathematics Pathways (DCMP) in 2011. The initial version of DCMP diversified developmental and college-level math course content, separating it into distinct pathways that better aligned with students' career interests. It also streamlined the developmental…

The purpose of this quantitative study was to provide statistical evidence to support that if males take the Caribbean Certificate of Secondary Level Competence (CCSLC) mathematics examination before the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) mathematics examination, they will have a statistically significantly higher average score than…

The purpose of this mixed method nested case study is to: (a) provide indicators and experiences math educators have recognizing math anxiety in students; (b) identify ways in which middle and high school math educators implement creative teaching strategies to reduce math anxiety in middle and high school students; and (c) look at the veracity…

South Australia's PISA performance has been in constant decline since 2003 with the proportion of PISA participants meeting the Australian national proficient standard dropping from 73% (in 2003) to 50% (in 2018). In contrast, Singapore is a consistently strong performer. To better understand student readiness in answering PISA questions, this…

Using a critical race theoretical lens, we examine how South African secondary mathematics teachers of Black students characterised their preparation in the post-apartheid era, how they portrayed good mathematics instruction, and what challenges they identified as barriers to becoming a good mathematics instructor. We found that teachers…

Many studies have documented a large decline in students' mathematics achievement during and after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The question facing school districts now is how to help students recover. Since fall 2020, RAND researchers have repeatedly surveyed and interviewed district leaders who are members of the American…

This research aims to compare the responses of Turkish and Singaporean mathematics teachers to school emphasis on academic success questions. The research was conducted following the causal-comparative design. The research study group consists of Turkish and Singaporean eighth-grade mathematics teachers who participated in the 2019 TIMSS. The data…

Developmental mathematics is often a barrier to student progress and success in college. As a result and for this reason, this research study describes the redesign of a developmental mathematics course at a U.S. East Coast university to decrease the amount of time it takes for students to complete their developmental requirement and increase the…

The aim of the study was to investigate the validity level of Socrates-based linear algebra e-module, both material validity and design. This is a research and "development" (R&D) with ADDIE procedure: analysis, design, develop, implement, and evaluate. The participants were 30 students and 2 lecturers who supervised linear algebra…

Mathematics Learning Support Centres are becoming more and more common in higher education both internationally and in Germany. Whereas it is clear that their quality largely depends on a functioning interaction in consultations, little is known about how such consultations proceed in detail. On the basis of models from the literature and recorded…

Given the importance of the beliefs and attitudes of the pre-service teachers, this research aims at studying the relation between mathematics teaching efficacy beliefs of pre-service teachers, their attitude towards mathematics and their mathematics academic achievement. Specifically, this work considers both factors together and studies their…

In this paper, we present a case study of a secondary mathematics teacher, Isaac (pseudonym), and his considerations for teaching with multiple methods for solving missing-value problems. While his students preferred methods that drew more closely on their intuitive understanding of proportionality, Isaac emphasised the algorithmic…
