Heather Lynn Johnson; Courtney Donovan; Robert Knurek; Kristin A. Whitmore; Livvia Bechtold – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
Using a mixed methods approach, we explore a relationship between students' graph reasoning and graph selection via a fully online assessment. Our population includes 673 students enrolled in college algebra, an introductory undergraduate mathematics course, across four U.S. postsecondary institutions. The assessment is accessible on computers,…

Timothy H. Lehmann – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
Developing students' competence in algorithmic thinking is emerging as an objective of mathematics education, but despite its inclusion in mathematics curricula around the world, research into students' algorithmic thinking seems to be falling behind in this curriculum reform. The aim of this study was to investigate how the mathematical modelling…

Nadav Marco; Alik Palatnik – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
This study proposes a model of several dimensions through which products of teachers' context-based mathematics problem posing (PP) can be modified. The dimensions are Correctness, Authenticity, Task Assortment (consisting of Mathematical Diversity, Multiple Data Representations, Question-Answer Format, Precision-Approximation, and…

George Kinnear; Paola Iannone; Ben Davies – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
Example-generation tasks have been suggested as an effective way to both promote students' learning of mathematics and assess students' understanding of concepts. E-assessment offers the potential to use example-generation tasks with large groups of students, but there has been little research on this approach so far. Across two studies, we…

Mehmet Fatih Ozmantar; Medine Coskun; Ali Bozkurt – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
This paper investigates how mathematics teachers describe their ethical decision making related to instructional practices, drawing on frameworks that incorporate both rational and non-rational approaches. We employed a multiple-case study method, selecting three teachers as cases through criterion sampling. Data were collected via four…

Janina Krawitz; Stanislaw Schukajlow; Luisa Hartmann – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
Problem posing is a promising teaching method for enhancing motivation and performance in mathematics and more specifically in mathematical modelling. Hence, the goals of our study were twofold: (1) to examine the effects of problem posing on modelling performance, self-efficacy, and task values in solving modelling problems, and (2) to analyze…

Andreas Brandsaeter; Runar Lie Berge – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
The reasons for teaching programming in school are indeed manifold. Programming can for example be utilized as a vehicle for understanding and learning particular mathematical subject matter, or as a tool for solving mathematical problems. In this paper, however, we propose to utilize programming as a vehicle for developing mathematical…

Faten Khalloufi-Mouha – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
While numerous studies have investigated teachers' professional learning through their interaction with resources, the question of how teachers' knowledge evolves at different stages of the instructional process remains underexplored. To address this gap, this article builds on the documentational approach to didactics (DAD) and the theory of…

Paraskevi Michael-Chrysanthou; Areti Panaoura; Athanasios Gagatsis; Iliada Elia – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
The present study examines secondary school students' geometrical figure apprehension based on Duval's theoretical framework regarding perceptual, operative, and discursive apprehension. The aim is to explore the cognitive structure of the geometrical figure apprehension dimensions (operative, discursive, and perceptual) in three grades of…

Elzena L. McVicar – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
Black women teachers have a legacy rooted in resisting and disrupting racism and racialization in schools. Yet, stories of Black women teachers enacting their liberatory pedagogy in mathematics go untold. This study centers Black women mathematics teachers' liberatory stances towards teaching mathematics to Black, Latinx, and Southeast Asian…
