This contribution focuses on reasoning about quadrilaterals provided by lower secondary school students when working with pre-prepared dynamic constructions. On this topic, we present an exploratory empirical qualitative study carried out within a GeoGebra Classroom environment, and our diagnostic instrument consists of a set of dynamic…

The aim of this study is twofold: one is to examine the relationship between mathematics achievement and three sources of mathematics self-efficacy (social persuasion, vicarious experience, and physical state) separately through mastery experience as a mediator, and the other is to investigate the relationship between vicarious experience and…

This study examines the characteristics of research papers published by Mexican mathematics educators from 2012 to 2021, focusing on the influence of global and local forces on academic production. Drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin's concepts, we view mathematics education research as a socio-ideological language, where each paper functions as an…

Cognitive learning strategies are seen as a central element for successful learning. Acquiring knowledge about its worth, can support persons in sophisticated groups in attaining academic success. Consequently, the authors are interested in domain-specific learning strategies for mathematics in the academic disciplines of economics and engineering…

The problem solving performed by students in solving mathematical literacy problems shows that at the developmental stage of proportional reasoning students have different strategies, especially at the developmental stage of functional and scalar relationships. The purpose of this study is to identify and explore the developmental stages of…

This paper presents the findings of a study involving 16 undergraduate students enrolled in a basic financial mathematics course. The study aimed to examine the nature of the students' problem-posing and problem-solving products and processes, as well as the interactions between the two. The findings revealed that the majority of the posed…

Mathematics teachers have been documented as thinking of precision as a black-and-white issue that should be judged based on external expectations (Otten et al., 2019), suggesting that matters of precision align primarily with approaches to mathematics instruction that prioritize accuracy and speed. How can teachers who also value creativity and…

Data visualizations play a crucial role in communicating patterns in quantitative data, making data visualization literacy a key target of STEM education. However, it is currently unclear to what degree different assessments of data visualization literacy measure the same underlying constructs. Here, we administered two widely used graph…

Solving word problems is challenging for many children, but particularly for those with language difficulties. The objective was to examine the nature of the challenges experienced by children with language difficulties as they solved word problems in the context of a developmental-trajectory instructional sequence. We recruited 45 third graders…

Despite proficient math skills, students may struggle to make sense of and solve story problems. While educators are encouraged to promote the use of comprehension strategies, students must first understand vocabulary at all levels as they work to make sense of and solve math story problems. Language skills are a prerequisite for schema…

In this cross-national study, we explore the different ways of reasoning-and-proving (RP) presented in three 8th grade textbooks, one from each country: Turkey, Norway, and Slovakia. While the analysis revealed that all three textbooks contain similar numbers of problems involving some form of RP, differences exist in terms of the dominating ways…

The importance of understanding what and how mathematics teachers notice is well documented, but more research is needed on content-specific noticing. In particular, knowing how teachers notice proportional reasoning, a vital topic spanning all grades of mathematics, could inform measures that support students' proportional reasoning. We examined…

This empirical study investigates the impact of structured digital lessons integrated with success criteria-based self-assessment strategies on sixth-grade students' achievement and motivation in mathematics. The study is situated within the context of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), aligning with the "We the UAE 2031" vision that…

Mathematics teacher educators' (MTEs) intimate scholarship is growing in interest and is diversifying research methodologies and products in the mathematics teacher education field. Becoming an MTE involves identifying self as belonging to mathematics teacher education. Although insights about belonging in mathematics teacher education have…

Academic librarians do not engage with all disciplinary departments equally. Despite equal or even greater efforts, some departments are less responsive to librarian outreach. One such department is mathematics. To understand mathematics departments' relationships with their academic librarians, three mathematics librarians created a 20-question…
