In this article, we explore Terry Wood's participation in the Purdue Problem-Centered Mathematics Curriculum Project, along with the rich and enduring personal and professional friendships that she built with the classroom teachers who were so important to the project. We highlight connections between these working relationships and the research…

The current study used a randomized control trial to evaluate a decision-making model on special education preservice candidates' instructional decision-making and self-reported confidence ratings when analyzing graphed student data. Thirty-two special education preservice candidates viewed authentic curriculum-based measurement (CBM) graphs and…

Contribution: This article presents a systematic literature review of research concerning cyber security education for children (under 18s) on a global scale. Background: While the Internet brings great convenience to children, it can potentially cause harms due to lack of knowledge about online risks. Research Questions: 1. What cyber security…

Fraction competence is essential for learning algebra and pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. However, many children have difficulty using fractions, especially those struggling with mathematics. In this study, we examined the effect of a Tier 2 multicomponent fraction intervention for fifth graders, using a…

The learning situation of deaf students in inclusive secondary education in Tanzania has witnessed a decade of struggle and choice on the best inclusion modality.
