The robotics context is suggested as a context that supports the learning of the sciences including mathematics. The present study investigates how the robotics context affects students' motivation for learning mathematics. Two groups of seventh-grade students participated in the present research: a robotics class (32 students) and a regular class…

Mathematics is the queen of science, but many students struggle with this subject as slow learners. Slow learners can accomplish their full potentials with an appropriate learning approach. In this study, these slow learners were examined using Realistic Mathematics Education approach. Single subject research was employed in this study, with…

Global policy transfer has become increasingly popular in recent years, and one recent example of such policy transfer is the England-China Teacher Exchange, which was initiated in 2014 with the explicit aim of raising attainment in maths in English primary schools by trialling concepts used in Shanghai schools, Shanghai rising to the top of the…

The Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT-4) is the latest iteration of a popular instrument that psychologists employ to assess academic achievement. The WIAT-4 authors make both pragmatic and measurement claims about the instrument. The pragmatic claims involve being useful for identifying individuals in certain academic achievement-related…

Comics engage students in learning mathematics through their interactive nature and the relatively simple language they use. Not only that, it also helps expand students' thinking through the introduction of contextualized mathematics. This is also in line with the latest math education trend to engage students with math problems in a real-world…

Filipino students performed poorly in the 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) mathematics assessment, with more than 50% obtaining scores below the lowest proficiency level. Students from public schools also performed worse compared to their private school counterparts. We used machine learning approaches, specifically…

Tiered instructional supports are on a steep growth trajectory in the US and getting underway internationally as a means to providing equitable education to all student groups. In the US, the Department of Education funded the expansion of multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) through school and personnel improvement grants to states. This…

This research examines psychometric properties of the 10-item Perceived Academic Social Influence Scale (PASIS) across gender groups with samples from Finland and Taiwan (Total N = 4727, 50.2% female adolescents). Results of composite scores, factor loadings, item-total correlations, and values of square root of Average Variance Extracted (AVE)…

By reframing the mathematics test and developing a structure for evaluation, teachers can foster future success in the mathematics classroom.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) using GeoGebra software on 11th grade students' achievement in exponential and logarithmic functions. This study was carried out with quasi-experimental design consisting of a pre-test and a post-test with the experimental group and the control…

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of co-teaching versus inclusive non-co-teaching for students with disabilities (SWD) using algebra I end-of-course scores (EOC) and whether these effects differed by gender. Participants included 244 ninth-grade algebra I SWD. The research design consisted of a posttest only with a…

Prior research indicates that the availability of school counselors--as measured by school counselor-to-student ratios--predicts desired student outcomes in high schools. Less is known about the impact of school counselors in elementary and middle schools, where school counselors take on a broad array of responsibilities related to youth…

Instructional coaching is a popular form of professional development for improving teacher instruction and student achievement. While there are numerous studies that have examined the impact of instructional coaching on student academic outcomes, very few studies have explored the influence of specific coaching models on student achievement.…

Two of every three students in the classroom today are affected by at least one adverse childhood experience (ACE; Perfect et al., 2016). Recently, researchers have used a neurodevelopmental approach to try to categorize and describe the connection between the neurological, cognitive, and academic success of children with ACEs and may have…

Early-childhood researchers and practitioners have become increasingly aware that schools must integrate social and emotional learning outcomes into curricula and instruction to maximize children's learning and well-being. Behavioral regulation, which falls under the broader self-management social and emotional learning competency, has been linked…
