This paper introduces AMMORE, a new dataset of 53,000 math open-response question-answer pairs from Rori, a mathematics learning platform used by middle and high school students in several African countries. Using this dataset, we conducted two experiments to evaluate the use of large language models (LLM) for grading particularly challenging…

Graphical literacy or graphicacy is a critical component of scientific literacy. Graphs are used to integrate and represent complex sets of information requiring abstraction from perceptual experience. They form essential parts of the Mathematics and Science curriculum across school curricular stages. A key to developing meaningful pedagogic…

This study investigates the relationship between undergraduates' technological readiness, self-efficacy, attitude, and usage of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The study leverages the technology acceptance model (TAM) to explore the relationships among the study's variables. The study's participants are 176 undergraduate students from a public…

Multimodal input can significantly support second language (L2) vocabulary learning and comprehension. However, very little research has examined how L2 learners, especially young learners, allocate attention when exposed to such input and whether learning from multimodal input can be explained by attention allocation. This study therefore…

This paper explores the provision of online and in-person mathematics support from the student perspective. We compare and contrast online, in-person and hybrid formats of mathematics support offerings between two universities from opposite sides of the globe by presenting analysis of 227 student responses to six surveys. Three surveys were…

Dashboards have become a crucial element of contemporary business operation and management; therefore, it is desirable for business students to acquire knowledge of them. This article investigates the effectiveness of designing learning activities around investment dashboards in the context of introductory business analytics (IBA) courses. We…

While eLearning digital homework platforms have been around for several years, it was only during the COVID pandemic that they moved to the mainstream as face-to-face teaching was replaced by hybrid and even fully online course delivery. Teachers have used the eLearning platforms to reach students remotely yet there has been little research on…

In New Zealand secondary schools, both students and teachers frequently express frustration with the challenges of achieving the highest level of success--Excellence--in the statistical mathematics standards assessed through the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA). A central criterion for attaining Excellence is the…

In order to be effective mathematics educators, teachers need more than content knowledge: they need to be able to make mathematics comprehensible and accessible to their students. Teaching Key Concepts in the Australian Mathematics Curriculum Years 7 to 10 ensures that pre-service and practising teachers in Australia have the tools and resources…

A core study by the National Rural Higher Education Research Center, led by MDRC, is exploring the role of dual enrollment in expanding college access in rural settings. Dual enrollment gives high school students the opportunity to take courses offered by a postsecondary institution and to earn transcripted college credit upon successful…

This study discusses quantile regression methodology and its usefulness in education and social science research. First, quantile regression is defined and its advantages vis-à-vis vis ordinary least squares regression are illustrated. Second, specific comparisons are made between ordinary least squares and quantile regression methods. Third, the…

Using an RD design provides statistically robust estimates while allowing researchers a different causal estimation tool to be used in educational environments where an RCT may not be feasible. Results from External Evaluation of the i3 Scale-Up of Reading Recovery show that impact estimates were remarkably similar between a randomized control…

Informed by teaching statistics across curriculum areas strategies, this study investigated the skills of 36 pre-service teachers (PSTs) who designed numeracy activities that focused on the statistics strand of the Australian curriculum. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the PSTs designed numeracy…

The purpose of this resource is to help math teachers unpack, understand, and implement the current math content and practice standards. It describes the progressions of learning within each course and provides content supports that include broad ideas about effective instruction as well as practical instructional strategies. Math teachers,…

This paper studies how both direct and indirect assessment outcomes can determine how students are learning different concepts in business statistics. We explore connections between the outcomes from the two assessment approaches and how different student characteristics and background factors impact these two methods of assessment. The results…
