Many countries are experiencing teacher shortages, with particularly long-standing issues in attraction and retention in secondary science and mathematics. Policy initiatives often focus on science and mathematics undergraduates, with the aim of encouraging them to consider teaching by offering scholarships into teacher education or fast-tracking…

This study investigates the utilisation and perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) applications among mathematics and science teachers in enhancing students' learning experience in mathematics classrooms. One prominent AI application this research seeks to explore, given its recent rise in popularity and usage, is ChatGPT. The study aims to…

Several studies indicate that gender is often portrayed stereotypically in mathematics textbooks worldwide. Based on the premise that such representations need to be examined with particular attention to the cultural context within which they exist, this study focuses on the upper-primary mathematics textbooks of the Republic of Cyprus, which are…

This study aims to prepare statistics activity-targeting comprehension of the arithmetic mean, consisting of worked-out example explanations through ChatGPT for sixth graders; determine situations encountered during the implementation of the activity; ascertain the effect of the activity on students' mathematics problem-solving performance; and…

Children worldwide are currently facing a multitude of crises that are negatively impacting their mental health and academic performance. Three years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, their mental health remains impaired, and profound learning gaps have been identified. Both factors are influenced by socioeconomic status (SES), which…

This paper provided new evidence on three kindergarten instructional practices that may be associated with better reading and math skills, particularly for children of less educated parents: (1) full-day kindergarten; (2) more instructional time; and (3) ability grouping. The analysis used Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Kindergarten Cohort…

This study examined the effects of peer tutoring on high school students' mathematical self-efficacy and performance. Through an explanatory sequential mixed methods design rooted in improvement science, the researchers investigated how structured peer relationships shape confidence, performance, and attitudes toward mathematics. Data collection…

This research aims to analyze the results of studies conducted in Turkey on reasoning skills in mathematics teaching and to reveal what kind of trend there is in this field.

Aim/Purpose: This paper addresses the effectiveness of flipped learning and teaching as a didactic innovation in math instruction. We are interested in comparing traditional and flipped learning and teaching in terms of acquired knowledge and retention and students' perceptions of flipped learning and teaching. Background: Traditional lessons, in…

Learning in the Fourth Industrial Revolution era, especially in mathematics, needs to equip students with life skills that can be used in the future such as critical thinking, problem-solving, literacy, collaboration, decision making, creative thinking, responsibility, and independent learning. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the…

Teacher learning in asynchronous online professional development (PD) is often assessed through self-reported instruments, despite uncertainties regarding teachers' ability to accurately self-assess their learning gains in such settings. This study compared middle school mathematics teachers' self-perceived and observed learning gains in content…

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing communication and technology-driven content creation and is also being used more frequently in education. Despite these advancements, AI-powered automated scoring in international large-scale assessments (ILSAs) remains largely unexplored due to the scoring challenges associated with…

In recent years, numeracy has had an increasing focus in the Australian educational system, with policies and assessments in place for both students and teachers. In order to address the requirements of their careers, teachers need to have sufficient numeracy capabilities. In our study, we explored the numeracy capabilities of post-graduate…

Identifying the knowledge resources teachers productively and unproductively draw upon can provide a means by which to create support structures to develop a more robust understanding of the content. To provide more informed grade-level support structures in teacher education programs, this study examined the knowledge resources 20 secondary…

Remedial courses have been part of the college landscape in the United States since at least the 1800s when nearly 250,000 students were placed into remedial courses. Traditionally, students who enrolled in remedial courses were placed into that course solely based on one test score. Students who enrolled in traditional remedial courses were more…
