Antonio Rivera-Figueroa; Ernesto Bravo-Díaz – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
In the mathematical literature on analytical geometry, various notions of the conics' eccentricity correspond to different approaches to these curves. After making a comparative analysis of well-known textbooks to determine coincidences and differences between the various concepts of eccentricity, as well as how the authors explain the…

Fitzmaurice, Olivia; Walsh, Richard; Burke, Kevin – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
In the mathematics education literature, subject matter knowledge is well recognized as the cornerstone of a mathematics teacher's knowledge base. Though the 'Mathematics Problem', the declining standards of students' mathematical abilities upon entering tertiary education, is well documented in many countries, its effect on preservice mathematics…

Parrish, Christopher W.; Martin, W. Gary – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
The purpose of this study was to determine if the MathTwitterBlogosphere (MTBoS), an online community of practice, provides opportunities for mathematics educators to learn about the knowledge and conceptions that support the effective use of cognitively demanding tasks, including mathematical knowledge for teaching, visions of high-quality…

O'Meara, Niamh; Prendergast, Mark; Cantley, Ian; Harbison, Lorraine; O'Hara, Clare – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
The school system in both the Republic of Ireland [ROI] and Northern Ireland [NI] is configured to accommodate children into discrete educational bands at different stages on their learning journey. Research has consistently shown that the transition from primary to post-primary, which typically occurs between the ages of 11 and 13, is the most…

de Araujo, Zandra; Orrill, Chandra Hawley; Jacobson, Erik – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
While there is considerable scholarship describing principles for effective professional development, there have been few attempts to examine these principles in practice. In this paper, we identify and examine the particular design features of a mathematics professional development experience provided for middle grades teachers over 14 weeks. The…

Ríordáin, Máire Ní; Johnston, Jennifer; Walshe, Gráinne – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2016
The integration of mathematics and science teaching and learning facilitates student learning, engagement, motivation, problem-solving, criticality and real-life application. However, the actual implementation of an integrative approach to the teaching and learning of both subjects at classroom level, with in-service teachers working…

Liston, Miriam – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2015
This study investigates the potential of video analysis and a mathematical knowledge for teaching framework, the Knowledge Quartet (KQ), in mathematics teacher education programmes. It reports on the effectiveness of these tools in analysing and supporting secondary level pre-service mathematics teachers' subject matter knowledge and pedagogical…

Ponce-Campuzano, Juan Carlos – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
Mexican authorities and universities are actively working to improve mathematics teaching and learning across the education system. Thus, efforts are underway to raise the historically low performance in mathematics, which include theoretically grounded pedagogy and curriculum development to raise mathematical knowledge in teacher education…

Ubuz, Behiye; Yayan, Betul – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
The main objective of this study was to investigate primary teachers' subject matter knowledge in the domain of decimals and more elaborately to investigate their performance and difficulties in reading scale, ordering numbers, finding the nearest decimal and doing operations, such as addition and subtraction. The difficulties in these particular…

Leikin, Roza; Zazkis, Rina – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
In this article, we demonstrate that prospective teachers' content knowledge related to defining mathematical concepts is dependent on content area. We use the example of generation (a research tool we developed in a previous study) to investigate prospective teachers' knowledge. We asked prospective secondary mathematics teachers to provide…

Klymchuk, Sergiy; Thomas, Michael O. J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
This article reports on some findings from the project "Analysing the Transition from Secondary to Tertiary Education in Mathematics". One of the key variables in the school to university transition is the teacher/lecturer, and here, we deal with the data analysing secondary teachers' and tertiary lecturers' responses to four mathematics…

Toh, Tin-Lam – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2007
This paper describes a content upgrading course on Secondary School Algebra which was planned and conducted for in-service mathematics teachers who are trained to teach mathematics at lower secondary level (ages 13 to 14). In order to be an effective mathematics teacher, one needs to know a great deal of mathematical knowledge on top of good…

McLeod, Kevin; Huinker, Deann – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2007
There has been much debate in recent years as to the amount and type of mathematical knowledge that teachers need to acquire. One set of recommendations is provided by the Mathematical Education of Teachers (MET) report, produced jointly by the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America. This paper reports on efforts…
