We study the existence of a gender gap between two methods of grading student achievement in Spain, namely teachers' assessment which measures cognitive outcomes and standardised test scores, which are consistent across Spanish schools. We use rich census information of Andalusian students attending secondary schools. Our results indicate that…

Math courses serve as cornerstones to most, if not all, community college programs. Yet, these courses continue to be gatekeepers. Contextualization represents a promising venue through which instructors might break down math barriers for students. This study explores community college students' learning experiences in contextualized math classes,…

In this paper, we explain changes made in an introductory Real Analysis classroom that address common challenges and that may allow for all levels of students to meet a high standard of learning and written work. We aim for this goal by fusing elements of a hybrid course with scaffolded collaborative work to improve student learning. The hybrid…

The study examined the mediating roles of students' perception of mathematics, students' self-efficacy and cooperative learning strategies in the relationship between teacher-student relationship and students' mathematics achievement in all the senior high schools at Atwima Nwabiagya North District. The study was carried out using the descriptive…

The paper evaluates math performance at four high-need middle schools during a four-year intervention, which was designed to help math teachers diagnose students' areas of need and to design lesson plans responsive to those needs. Before the intervention began, the researchers pre-selected four comparison schools by matching based on achievement…

This study was undertaken to systematically analyze instructional interventions employed to enhance the mathematical performance of elementary school students with math learning difficulties (MLD). Over 20 years (2003-2023), 34 articles that met the inclusion criteria were included in the analysis. The articles in the study were analyzed in terms…

The general objective to be achieved in this study is to determine the effect of using Blended Learning in terms of Intrapersonal Intelligence on Problem Solving Ability. This research is a quasi-experimental research with a two × three factorial design. Documentation, questionnaires, and tests were carried out the data collection method. The…

This study aims at highlighting the relationship between mastery learning models and academic performance in mathematics, moderated by the number of hours allotted to studying mathematics. There are 305 first to eighth-grade students who learn at "Nae A. Ghica Middle School" in Romania. Students in sixth, seventh, and eighth grades…

This research contributes to the body of knowledge regarding mathematics anxiety, self-efficacy, and performance in mathematics. Specifically, this study analyzed these constructs as they pertain to undergraduate business students enrolled in entry-level, prerequisite mathematics courses. Information was collected via surveys utilizing the…

This study tests a model that predicts the problem-posing performance of sixth-grade students (independent variable metacognition, mediator variables mathematics and native language course success scores at the end of the year). The research was conducted with the relational model. The results regarding the mediation effect indicated that the…

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) on 7th grade students' achievement on integer operations and their attitudes towards mathematics and to determine students' views about the RME approach. The research was carried out with the participation of 11 students. Exploratory sequential mixed design…

This study explored the lived experiences of eleven transfer students as they described their experiences in Calculus 2 at very high research land grant institutions (R1). This qualitative investigation focused on the psychological phenomenon of transition as the transfer students perceived, reflected, made sense, and understood their transition…

Refugee children face many difficulties on their migration routes. These challenges continue even after arriving in the destination country. It is important for the world's growing child migrant population to successfully adapt to the host country. Otherwise, there is a risk for future generations facing psychological, social, and academic…

Using mathematically unsound scales and inequitable grading practices has complicated the grading process for teachers and created educational barriers for students. This quantitative study compared the effect of the 100-point percentage and 4-point interval grading scale on Algebra 1 final grades. This study also investigated if there was a…

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, students returned to the classroom facing heightened challenges. Students lacked motivation, struggled with increased mental health issues, and required social emotional learning. As teachers worked extensively to close deep academic deficits, they dealt with barriers such as increased behaviors that caused…
