Students' negative affective performance in mathematics learning is a global problem, and the situation is especially challenging in high-achieving East Asian countries. Taiwan's Just Do Math (JDM) program was launched to resolve this problem and to serve as an example of successful scaling up with regard to implementation of innovation. We…

The main problem for teachers working with students who have various disadvantages is that many of them lack extrinsic motivation and they can get discouraged very easily as they hate feeling less capable than their peers. As a film enthusiast, the author appllied and won an Education Innovation Teacher Challenge grant to run a film-related…

This study aims to investigate gender differences in effective parenting strategies for adolescent mathematics achievement growth, taking into account socioeconomic status (SES), based on a bioecological model. Latent growth curve modeling examines longitudinal data (n = 4163) from the Taiwan Education Panel Survey. The analysis reveals that…

Community colleges have been under increasing pressure to devise alternate math pathways to the traditional sequence of developmental math classes. Considering the important role faculty play in student success, this qualitative study focuses on faculty perspectives regarding Quantway, a novel alternate pathway for community college students who…

The objective of this research is to identify the effectiveness of the GeoGebra program in developing academic achievement and ensuring survival of the learning impact of the mathematics among female secondary stage students. To achieve this objective, an experimental approach was applied. This consisted of a quasi-experimental design comprising…

Reflections are presented on the first time flipping of an introductory Ordinary Differential Equations course. Assessment results, student motivation, and student attitudes are compared between flipped and traditional learning pedagogies in this course over two terms at a small technical university in the northeast United States. Assessments and…

The objectives of this study were to examine (1) the expectation for performance (EFP) in statistics of first year university students, (2) the relative effect of previous mathematics performance (PMP), perceived statistical self-efficacy (SSE), and statistics anxiety (SA) for understanding these expectations, and (3) whether students' EFP scores…

These technical notes accompany the report "Mapping State Proficiency Standards onto the NAEP Scales: Results from the 2019 NAEP Reading and Mathematics Assessments. NCES 2021-036" (ED612877). Provided in these notes are two supporting data tables. Tables A-1 and A-2 display the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)…

Preparing secondary students for college entrance requirements and the expectations of the job market, a market which is actively seeking the employees who are most qualified to take on jobs that require data analysis skills, is becoming increasingly important. Federal, state, and local education administrators and personnel must rewrite many of…

Federal, state, and local entities prioritized addressing these academic deficiencies over the past several decades. An area of concern for teachers and families is multiplication. The two main purposes of this study are to (1) to determine how multiplication achievement and strategy use change from beginning to end of Bilingual Family Math Club,…

Early mathematical learning for students that exhibit typical gifted characteristics, including precocity and sophisticated math ability, should have opportunities to expand their thinking capacities through enrichment and/or advanced coursework that allows them to reach their full potential. Effective programming interventions allows for…

Early alert systems are an intervention at community colleges that aim to identify and informally intervene with students who are struggling in their courses. This study examined the relationship between early alert systems and student success in developmental and gateway math courses. This study also examined if the impact of early alert…

School districts are currently faced with the challenge of implementing teacher evaluation systems that accurately measure and grow effectiveness while simultaneously increasing academic performance among all student populations. The ability to provide a fair and accurate measure of teacher performance is central to Dallas Independent School…

This study used a non-experimental, one-group, pretest-posttest design to compare the scale scores on the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 Mathematics sections of the New Jersey Student Learning Assessment (NJSLA). This investigation compared the 2018 New Jersey Student Learning Assessment in Mathematics (NJSLA-M) scale score means for sampled special…

This study examines the effect of the usage of graphing calculators on Black Females' mathematics achievement on the 12th grade National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). This non-experimental research study will analyze the 2015 NAEP publicly available data set, using the twelfth-grade sample, examining their overall math achievement…
