The purpose of this study is to examine student and teacher characteristics related to students' mathematics achievement. The study group for this research was composed of 1533 students who participated in the mathematics subtest of the transition from basic education to secondary education applied in 2016 and 36 mathematics teachers who teach…

Bullying generally has been shown to have a number of negative outcomes for student well-being. IEA's TIMSS (Trends in Mathematics and Science Study) 2019 data shows that cyberbullying is correlated with traditional forms of bullying and is particularly relevant in more recent times. The relationship between the two forms of bullying is strong and…

Analysis of consistent Zearn Math users and a comparable group of non-users in a large Southern district shows that students who used Zearn Math had higher levels of academic growth than similar students with no usage. This analysis used the quasi-experimental method, Coarsened Exact Matching (CEM), to examine the impact of Zearn Math across 1,111…

Stereotype threat occurs when educational institutions remind us of the stereotype that men are more successful in mathematics and that women's mathematics achievement is negatively affected. In this study, the effect of stereotype threat on the academic achievement of high school students was examined. In the designed experimental study, there…

Students who study at home certainly affect their self-concept. Their study found that knowledge of distance learning affects the perceived usefulness of this process. This study described self-concept has an influence on learning achievement in mathematics. The type of research used in this study was descriptive quantitative research to determine…

This study was designed to fill a need to explore the hypothesis that students who participate in middle school bands and or chorus have higher math cognitive functioning than their non-music peers. Using the Measure of Academic Progress (MAP), this study identified specific math domains that middle school music students showed higher functioning…

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and the Every Child Succeeds Act of 2015 have significantly emphasized student academic outcomes in recent years. As a result, school districts are seeking strategies to increase student achievement and incorporate required standards and goals. Reducing scheduled physical activity time that students in…

This study implemented intervention strategies to enhance grade 12 students' mathematics perception and self-efficacy to improve their mathematics achievement. Conveniently selected 394 students (200 as comparison & 194 as treatment group) were involved. Two FGDs were conducted. Forty items of mathematics achievement test were administered for…

Concerns about low mathematics achievement have created a push to increase national mathematics proficiency levels through research and policy. Efforts have largely focused on early mathematics interventions for students with or at risk for mathematics learning difficulties implemented within multi-tiered response to intervention (RTI) frameworks.…

Productive struggle is an effective mathematics teaching practice that provides students opportunities to grapple with challenging mathematical concepts, connect prior knowledge, discover new ideas, and develop their critical thinking skills. Research has documented the benefits of secondary mathematics students engaging in productive struggle.…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the types of errors grade 10 students make in solving selected trigonometry problems. Another aim was to understand the origins of these errors that Students make when solving trigonometry problems. Another central purpose of the study was to provide instructional recommendations for addressing the…

South African children have a right to equitable education free from harm. Still, news of school bullying incidents continues to grab South African news headlines. Creating a safe environment conducive to learning is vital in learners' mathematics achievement (MA). We investigated the association between bullying and Grade 9 MA in South African…

Despite increased investment in rural education in recent years, the academic achievement of ethnic minority students in rural China continues to lag behind their Han Chinese peers. Few studies have used up-to-date data to measure the size of this achievement gap, and none have examined whether differential math attitudes and math anxiety play a…

Adults with low numeracy skills often start adult foundational education services or work with individual tutors. Using U.S. PIAAC 2012/2014/2017 data, this paper examines the characteristics, educational backgrounds, and numeracy proficiency of adult learners in adult foundational education, along with use of numeracy skills at home and how…

Repeating patterning proficiency predicts students' later mathematical proficiency. A comparative multi-case design enabled the present study to compare patterning success and strategy use for repeating patterns of 75 Norwegian 6-year-old grade 1 students. We provided the students with duplicate, extend, transfer, and unit isolation activities in…
