The aim of the research is to investigate the academic achievement of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence based chatbot, in a national mathematics exam. For this purpose, 3.5 and 4 versions of ChatGPT were asked mathematics questions in a national exam. The method of the research is a case study. In the research, 3.5 and 4 versions of ChatGPT were…

This research article is about "Introducing a Supportive Framework to Address Students' Misconceptions and Difficulties in Learning Mathematical proof techniques (MPT): A Case of Debark University". This study aims to develop, introduce, and implement a supportive framework to overcome students' misconceptions and difficulties in MPT.…

As instruction shifts away from traditional approaches, online learning has grown in popularity in K-12 and higher education. Artificial intelligence (AI) and learning analytics methods such as machine learning have been used by educational scholars to support online learners on a large scale. However, the fairness of AI prediction in educational…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) strategies upon English language learners' (ELLs) self-efficacy and academic performance in the mathematics classroom. Being able to face academic challenges, while maintaining a high level of motivation and enjoyment in mathematics is…

The current study intended to investigate the mediation role of mathematics motivation through the relationship between mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics achievement. The sample of the study consisted of 374 eighth-grade Omani students, 180 females and 194 males. PLS-SEM was used to investigate the direct effect between mathematics…

The field of mathematics education has engaged in perennial debate about whether transmission-oriented or constructivist approaches to teaching will best help students learn. Yet, both fluency, learned through step-by-step procedural instruction, and the mathematical flexibility that comes from constructivist methods play an important role in…

Too often, the value of culturally responsive and sustaining education (CRSE) is limited to addressing student motivation and engagement rather than being seen as valuable for academic achievement and rigorous student learning. This brief calls on education leaders to prioritize a broader range of outcomes, including students' development of…

The purpose of this quantitative research study was to determine the relationship between leadership styles, conflict caused by dysfunctions in administrative leadership teams, teacher morale, and student performance on the reading and math sections of the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR). A total of 58 elementary school…

This cross-sectional study investigated the conceptual understanding of linear relationships for 195 students enrolled in a single school in a large, urban district across five mathematics courses: Grade 7 Math (n = 24), Grade 8 Math (n = 52), Geometry (n = 43), Algebra 1 (n = 31), and Algebra 2 (n = 45). The following questions guided this study:…

Among the problems identified at Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges, low achievement in mathematical subjects is the most prominent one. This paper documents a qualitative case study undertaken at TVET College in Gauteng with the purpose of exploring the National Certificate Vocational (NC(V)) Level 4 students' errors…

Students' mathematics self-efficacy (MSE) is strongly associated with learning behaviours and performance, and students' future career choices. In our scoping review, we screened what "substantive foci" (conceptualization, directionality and role of MSE, change in MSE, and situational specificity of MSE) have been posed and which…

Scholars have long documented the positive influence of students' sense of belonging on their achievement and retention; however, the variation in students' sense of belonging has been underexplored. This paper extends previous research examining the effects of student-level characteristics (e.g., student achievement, learning attitude, experience…

Students are indeed weak when it comes to understanding fractions and decimals. In line with the national curriculum, whole numbers and fractions are taught first before students start to learn decimals. By the time the students approach decimals, they should have acquired sufficient knowledge of whole numbers but limited knowledge of fractions.…

In Eastern cultures, teaching is challenging due to students' increasing needs for autonomy and refusal to be controlled in traditional ways. Understanding the relationship between autonomy-supportive practices and students' learning outcome is essential for assisting teachers to create supportive learning environment to satisfy the needs for…

This study aimed to investigate the impact of using scoring rubrics on assessing the performance of students in achievement. The study followed an experimental approach, and the sample consisted of 187 male and female students enrolled in the Calculus course. They were divided into three groups: the first experimental group, whose performance was…
