Açikgül, Kübra – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
This study aims to develop a GeoGebra-supported learning kit for teaching polygons and to examine mathematics teachers' opinions about it. The research was designed using a descriptive research model. The study group comprised 11 mathematics teachers who voluntarily participated in the in-service training called 'Dynamic Math Software (Geogebra)'…

Wright, Pete; Fejzo, Alba; Carvalho, Tiago – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
This paper reports on initial findings from the Visible Maths Pedagogy research project, a collaboration between an academic researcher and two teacher researchers (the paper's authors). The aim of the project was to explore the effects of making pedagogy more visible on students' success in school mathematics. We adopted a Participatory Action…

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…

Petrillo, Joseph – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2016
High failure rates in calculus have plagued students, teachers, and administrators for decades, while science, technology, engineering, and mathematics programmes continue to suffer from low enrollments and high attrition. In an effort to affect this reality, some educators are "flipping" (or inverting) their classrooms. By flipping, we…

Duah, Francis; Croft, Tony; Inglis, Matthew – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
We report the implementation and evaluation of a "peer assisted learning" (PAL) scheme designed to reduce the so-called "cooling off" phenomenon in undergraduate mathematics. "Cooling off" occurs when mathematics undergraduates lose motivation and interest in their studies, despite having previously actively chosen to…

Ní Fhloinn, E.; Fitzmaurice, O.; Mac an Bhaird, C.; O'Sullivan, C. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
Mathematics support in higher education has become increasingly widespread over the past two decades, particularly in the UK, Ireland and Australia. Despite this, reliable evaluation of mathematics support continues to present challenges for those working in this area. One reason is because ideally, properly structured support should function as…
