The current study investigated the relation between spatial ability and children's math performance, as well as the potential mechanisms underlying this relation including numerical magnitude knowledge, understanding of arithmetic operations, and word-problem representation. A sample of 221 Asian sixth graders (age 11, 129 boys) completed a series…

In this investigation, the extent to which differences were present in the mathematics achievement by the ethnicity/race of Grade 3 students in Texas were analyzed. Data obtained from the Texas Education Agency Public Education Information Management System for all Texas Grade 3 students who took the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness…

This article presents an experience in teaching mathematical thinking through games in a math course for non-science majors. The course described here has run twice on the campus of Sam Houston State University and is a combination of escape room pedagogy and game-based pedagogy. From these courses, I note an increased engagement of students with…

This meta-analysis synthesized the findings of experimental and quasi-experimental studies to determine the efficacy of math interventions for enhancing the word problem-solving accuracy of students with mathematics difficulties in Grades 4 to 12. Further, we identified intervention and design characteristics that moderate the effectiveness of…

(Purpose) This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Imagine Math by comparing the performance of program users and non-users on the NWEA MAP Growth Math assessment. (Methods) Propensity score matching was utilized to compare statistically similar southeastern U.S. charter school students who used or did not use the Imagine Math program during…

To identify the level of education of schoolchildren in different countries of the world, the OECD conducts international studies in the field of education. Comparative results of these studies make it possible to determine the effectiveness of national educational systems contributing to adapting programs for modernization and reform of…

The teacher acts as a mover, motivator, and mentor in student learning activities. Teachers also act as mentors to other teachers and agents of transformation in the education ecosystem in schools. This study aims to describe the pattern of teacher learning planning in shaping students' Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) in learning mathematics. This…

This quasi-experimental research study examines whether the use of Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces (ALEKS), an ITS, shows a statistically significant improvement in students' mathematics achievement than traditional teacher-led instructions. This non-randomized research study measured the efficacy of ALEKS on ''underachieving students'…

This study examined how community college students' reflective sentiments about learning with the Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) ALEKS evolved in three developmental pre-Algebra Mathematics courses and how students' sentiments related to their metacognitive awareness and learning performance. Thirty-nine students participated in this study.…

The number of socially and linguistically varied students at two local high schools in a southwestern state located in the United States has greatly increased. Since the 2018-2022 school years, English language learners (ELLs) scored low on the state achievement mathematics test scores. The problem was teachers were challenged to support the…

Technology enables innovation in teaching and learning. Extant educational research has been focused on comparison between learning platforms, namely traditional and blended learning environments. The purpose of this study examined the differences between students' performance in a Blended and traditional college course and it compared the…

With high stakes testing in public schools, pressure for success prompts schools to implement intervention programs for reading and mathematics, often at the expense of extra-curricular and elective activities. Previous literature indicated a correlation between reading comprehension and mathematical understanding. This study examined the specific…

This publication explores the link between the gender of the school principal and the performance of pupils at the end of primary school in reading and mathematics in fourteen French-speaking African countries, based on PASEC2019 data. This study was produced as part of the Women in Learning Leadership (WiLL) program of the Gender at the Center…

As Hawai?i's population continues to diversify, it is increasingly necessary to move away from traditional mathematics teaching methods. This dissertation outlines the development and impact of a framework that weaves together place-conscious, culturally responsive, and critical ethnomathematics education. Specifically, the study examined: (1) the…

The WIRE Youth Development Programs, housed within the Lewis Walker Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnic Relations at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI, foster two enrichment programs geared towards strengthening the gap in academic knowledge through STEM/STEAM activities. Since its inception, WIRE has impacted over 1,000 youth…
