Isidor Kokalari; Kosta Lili – Science Education International, 2025
Physics, even though it is guided by simple principles, tends for many topics to be obscured in the mathematics redundancy. MATLAB®, as interactive software for computer algebra, has already had an important impact on the way physics is taught by educators. It has also had a substantial impact on the way research is performed by students to…

Tšhegofatšo Phuti Makgakga – Online Submission, 2023
This article provides insights into Grade 11 learner understanding of the roots of quadratic equations, how learners used solution strategies to find equations with given roots, how they determine the unknown values and the other root when one root is given and how they determine the unknown values when two roots of the equation are given. The…

Yaniv Biton; Ruti Segal – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2025
The use of generative AI (Chat GPT) for the process of posing mathematical problems was introduced to 15 pre-service teachers (henceforth referred to as "teachers") in a re-training program aimed at teaching advanced secondary school mathematics. After solving mathematical problems, they were given an assignment to pose and refine…

Matitaputty, Christi; Nusantara, Toto; Hidayanto, Erry; Sukoriyanto – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2022
Permutations and combinations are generally taught by requiring students to memorize formulas and solve problems using the appropriate formula. Students who learn these topics may succeed in gaining high scores on end-of-chapter exams in textbooks, while lacking the conceptual understanding required to deal with problems in the real world.…

Patterson, Blain – Issues in the Undergraduate Mathematics Preparation of School Teachers, 2021
The goal of this research was to investigate the relationship between real analysis content and high school mathematics teaching so that we can ultimately better prepare our teachers to teach high school mathematics. Specifically, I investigated the following research questions: (1) What connections between real analysis and high school…

Milbourne, Jeff; Wiebe, Eric – Research in Science Education, 2018
While Physics Education Research has a rich tradition of problem-solving scholarship, most of the work has focused on more traditional, well-defined problems. Less work has been done with ill-structured problems, problems that are better aligned with the engineering and design-based scenarios promoted by the Next Generation Science Standards. This…

Ko, Inah; Herbst, Patricio – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2020
This study proposes "task of teaching" as an organizer of dimensionality in teachers' subject matter knowledge for teaching (SMK) and investigates it in the context of measuring SMK for teaching high school geometry (SMK-G). We hypothesize that teachers use different SMK-G in different aspects of their teaching work and that such…

Pérez, Katherine Machuca; Delgadillo, Elizabeth Montoya – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2022
The objective of this qualitative research is to study the mathematical work when solving a mathematical task in the domain of probability presented by Chilean high school mathematics teachers in pre-service and in-service training. We consider as theoretical support the Mathematical Working Space model and methodological design of a collective…

Yunianto, Wahid; Prahmana, Rully Charitas Indra; Crisan, Cosette – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2021
Measuring teachers' skills and competencies is necessary to ensure teacher quality and contribute to education quality. Research has shown teachers competencies and skills influence students' performances. Previous studies explored teachers' knowledge through testing. Teachers' knowledge of the topic of area-perimeter and teaching strategies has…

Barkai, Ruthi – Education Sciences, 2021
Errors are a major component of the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) needed for teaching mathematics. In this study, 25 prospective teachers (PTs) in high schools were invited to solve a trigonometric task that had been assigned to high-school students and, subsequently, to relate to an authentic solution containing mathematical errors, which…

Huo, Rongrong – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
In our investigation of university students' knowledge about real numbers in relation to computer algebra systems (CAS) and how it could be developed in view of their future activity as teachers, we used a computer algorithm as a case to explore the relationship between CAS and the knowledge of real numbers as decimal representations. Our work was…

Osman, Ali; Kriek, Jeanne – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
Problem-based learning (PBL) is considered to be an effective teaching and learning strategy as it leads to longer retention of concepts learnt, improves problem-solving skills and enhances critical thinking. However, teachers often find it difficult to implement as they do not receive guidance during their initial training. A professional…

Yun, Eunjeong – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
For both physicists who teach students in university and physics educators, how physics should be taught is a vital question. This study reviewed the trends of research in the field of physics education to identify the status of physics education research and help researchers in future studies. 2,959 articles were collected from the American…

Ferrarello, Daniela; Mammana, Maria Flavia; Taranto, Eugenia – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2020
A classroom activity for high-school students, aiming at introducing space geometry from plane geometry has been introduced back in 2009 by Mammana, Margarone, Micale, Pennisi and Pluchino (2009a). The activity was based on the use of a Dynamic Geometry System and of the analogy between figures. Several aspects of the activity have been studied in…

Ambusaidi, Intisar; Badiali, Bernard; Alkharousi, Khalid – Athens Journal of Education, 2021
Research on science-education reform affirms the importance of taking into consideration teachers' pedagogical beliefs in relation of the constructivist perspective to ensure successful implementation of a reform-oriented curriculum. In addition, prominent studies pinpoint the need for teachers to have sufficient pedagogical content knowledge…
