The virtualised schools and universities of the COVID-19 pandemic became rely heavily on educational digital resources (EDRs), so that it has made the selection and use of high-quality EDRs even more critical for quality education. This qualitative case study aims to examine decision-making criteria used by preservice teachers (PTs) in selecting…

This study examined the influence of addition and subtraction practice embedded within a word-problem intervention for Grade 3 students experiencing word-problem difficulty. Students (N = 448) were randomly assigned to one of two variants of a word-problem intervention or a business-as-usual comparison condition. Within the word-problem…

In this study, we investigated undergraduate mathematics students' (N = 267) attitudes towards proving. The students were taking an introduction-to-proof type course that was situated at the beginning of the mathematics curriculum and lasted for one term. Four attitude variables were measured at the beginning and at the end of the course with a…

Math anxiety involves moderate to extreme fear, anxiety, and occasionally physical pain associated with anticipating or performing mathematical tasks. High levels of math anxiety have been tied to students taking lower levels of math and choosing less quantitatively challenging courses and careers. In a small geoscience program in a primarily…

This study aimed to determine fourth grade primary school students' self-regulated learning strategies and successes in mathematics course in terms of socio-economic level. A cross-section scanning model was used in the study. The sample of the study was determined by the random sampling technique. The sample consisted of 65 students studying in 2…

The need for improving and evaluating students' cognitive skills, including problem-solving, has been highlighted in both the mathematics education literature and the curricula worldwide. The objective of this study was to assess the problem-solving skills of lower secondary school students using a teacher-based evaluation method, taking into…

Homework completion and self-regulatory ability have both been extensively studied to examine their impact on learning achievement. Moreover, the reciprocal nature of how these two qualities affect one another is also an area of research. While evidence shows that voluntary completion of assigned homework predicts self-regulation in students, a…

Mathematics achievement is positively associated with coding in the classroom. By making mathematical relationships visible to students as they code, teachers leverage rich connections between block-based computer programming and mathematical sense making. In this article, the authors describe strategies for adapting a Code.org lesson integrating…

In recent decades, the aims and objectives of education -- and therefore public discourse on the appropriate skills and attributes of mathematics teachers -- have been rapidly shifting due to forces from outside the teaching profession. The forces driving change in mathematics are as diverse as the emergence of "Industry 4.0" and…

This study examined opportunities provided for preservice secondary mathematics teachers (PSMTs) to learn reasoning and proof in algebra from the perspective of college instructors. We analyzed interview transcripts of 15 course instructors recruited from three teacher education programs in the United States. We examined the reported opportunities…

This study examines technology-enhanced teacher responses and students' written mathematical explanations to understand how to support effective teacher responding and the centering of students' mathematical ideas. Although prior research has focused on teacher noticing and responding to students' mathematical ideas, few studies have explored the…

The study focused on development and validation of the mathematics persistence scale (MPS) for measuring secondary school students' persistence in learning mathematics. The study employed a descriptive survey design. Three research questions guided the study. The population of the study comprised 13,516 students distributed in 59 public secondary…

Articulated pedagogical and didactic strategies allow improving academic quality and strengthen individual and institutional cognitive processes such as student retention. Mathematical modelling, articulated with complementary actions, contributes to teaching and learning processes within situations that go beyond the classroom since they are…

This article describes the two types of reasoning in fraction conceptions that students often use, "gap" and "missing piece," and one that the authors aspire their students to reach, "residual." Each of these types of reasoning are underpinned by a different conception of fractions. Students who use "gap…

This research paper examines tasks related to mean, median, and mode in seven Swedish textbook series for students aged between 10-13 years. The tasks were analysed based on context, mathematical properties, input and output objects, and transformations. These categories allowed for a thorough analysis of the opportunities afforded to students to…
