The aim of this study reveal the effect of philosophy education on students' mathematics achievement. The research sample consists of a total of 38 students, 18 of whom are experimental and 20 of them are control groups, studying in the 7th grade in Sehit Koray Akoguz Secondary School in Ipekyolu, Van in the second semester of the academic year…

The purpose of this study was to synthesize experimental studies that explain the effect of student-centered methods and techniques used in primary school mathematics courses on academic achievement. Some certain criteria were selected and applied regarding the inclusion of primary study in the synthesis. As a result of qualitative systematic…

Modern economics courses require high mathematical proficiency, and low proficiency may reduce grades or cause students to avoid economics courses. The article's authors sought to improve students' mathematical skills and grades with a simple intervention based on repeated quizzing of building-block concepts. They analyzed data from four semesters…

Designed for this study as a conceptual framework comprising particular educational approaches and techniques for mathematics teaching and learning, the Successful Mathematics Classroom (SMC) aimed to promote college students' mathematics self-efficacy, motivation, and achievement. Through using a case study methodology, a range of tests and…

We examined how parent math attitudes and practices relate to emergent math skills in 72 preschoolers from low-income households. Specifically, we investigated parents' views about the importance of math learning, their confidence in teaching math, their perceptions of child interest in math, and their time spent engaging their child in math…

There has been an increase in the need for online instructional tools especially during the current global health crisis (i.e., pandemic) that people across many nations are experiencing. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an electronic application, "Mathspace," on high school students' performance on solving algebra…

In recent years, Dweck (2014) and Duckworth (2016) introduced two important concepts in student learning: mindsets and grit. These variables can drastically change the way individuals handle a learning situation, the degree of effort and persistence they display, and eventually, their level of achievement. Recent literature on self-theories…

Interest in identifying factors influencing educational success is growing. It is often observed that a group of students share the same external variables (school environment) yet have different results, which states that individual variables have more impact on the determination of academic performance. Therefore, the present study aimed to…

Studies indicate that learners' cognitive style (CS), self-regulated learning (SRL), and working memory (WM) are associated with their academic performance. These studies describe the relationship of academic achievement with SRL, CS, or WM individually or pairwise relationships between SRL, CS, and WM rather than the overall relationship between…

For a significant number of students, attitudes towards mathematics decrease notably during secondary education. Thus, there is an urgent need to improve students' mathematics attitudes because attitudes may negatively affect conceptual understanding of mathematics or mathematics performance. However, without a clear unified construct of…

Whilst spatial reasoning skills have been found to predict mathematical achievement, little is known about how primary (elementary) students' conceptual understanding of three-dimensional objects develops. In this article, we report a qualitative study and the impact of rich learning experiences on 48 Years 3-6 students' geometric reasoning…

The purpose of this quasi-experimental, quantitative study was to determine if there was a difference in student growth, in students in grades seven and eight in reading and math, based on their placement in advanced or general education courses. This study was conducted in a diverse, suburban junior high school which served four different…

Analysis of consistent Zearn Math users and a comparable group of low- or non-users, across 6 districts in Nebraska, shows that students who used Zearn Math consistently had higher levels of academic growth than similar students with low- or no-usage. For this analysis, 784 students who completed an average of 3+ Zearn Math lessons per week,…

Students are entering postsecondary institutions without the mathematical skills needed to be successful in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics majors (STEM), leading to a shortage of qualified graduates. Consequently, institutions must identify ways to increase satisfaction and performance in mathematics. Mindset theory, with…

We conducted a randomized control trial assessing the effects of two variants of word-problem intervention with third graders (n = 304) experiencing mathematics difficulty. Students were assigned to a business-as-usual condition (BaU) or one of two variants of word-problem intervention. One variant included a pre-algebraic reasoning component…
