The need for constructivist classroom environments in mathematics teaching cannot be ignored in order for sustainable development to continue. One of the most important applications of constructivist classroom environments in mathematics education all over the world is mathematical activities. The proficiency of pre-service mathematics teachers in…

The aim of this research was to study and investigate first year university calculus students' misconceptions about how to use the definition of limit to find the first derivative of functions and then remediate these misconceptions by using APOS theory (Action, Process, Object, and Schema). Students (n = 82 female and male) were selected based on…

Drawing upon task-based learning designs from second language acquisition, we critique how mathematics education has primarily conceived of tasks as problems to be solved. We extend the notion of communicative gaps (e.g., opinion and information) into a framework that considers the flows of information that tasks structure and facilitate. We then…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of constant time-delay instruction with error correction in teaching the skill of identifying the numerals (from 1 to 5) to students with light intellectual disability. The experimental design of this study was multiple-probe model with probe conditions across subjects which is one of…

Uri Treisman's model of Collaborative Learning is consistent and supportive of Robert Gagne's learning hierarchy. In order to examine this relationship we must analyze each model individually.

This study has been aimed to propose a conceptual framework that helps researchers examine mathematics teachers' PCK in the context of supporting students' mathematical thinking. "Advancing Children's Thinking Framework" which is a pedagogical model developed by Fraivillig, Murphy and Fuson (1999) that supports the development of…

The aim of this study is to address and analyse pre-service teachers' mathematical reasoning skills in relation to mathematical thinking processes. For these purposes, pre-service teachers' mathematical reasoning skills namely generalising/abstraction/modelling, ratiocination, development and creative thinking skills and the relationships among…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of heterogeneous and homogeneous grouping on the mathematical achievement of students in third grade. Participants were 16 third graders in a self-contained classroom, assigned to either small homogeneous or heterogeneous group for math instruction for 7 weeks. Pretest-posttest scores and growth…

The purpose of this study is to determine students' learning levels in derivative subjects and their misconceptions. In addition, this study aims to compared to the effects of the computer based instruction and traditional instruction in resolving these misconceptions. For this purpose, 12th grade 70 students were chosen from high schools in Agri…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of activities based on the Multiple Intelligence Theory (MIT) of seventh grade students' conceptual learning and their retention in two consecutive subjects, namely "The Circumference and the Area of a Circle" and "The Surface Area of the Vertical Cylinder". The…

A fully online graduate program that was developed at the UWF (University of West Florida) has been successfully implemented using synchronous instruction since fall 2009. The hybrid nature of the developed model has proven to be of benefit to both face-to-face and distance students. Aside from the robustness of students' discussions and…

New methodologies in science (or mathematics) learning process and scientific thinking in the classroom activity of engineer students with ICT (information and communication technology), including graphic calculator are presented: visual modelling with ICT, action research with graphic calculator, insight in classroom and communications and…

This study investigated the effect of a personalised print-based instruction versus a non-personalised print-based instruction on the attitudes toward mathematics word problems of 350 senior secondary school year one Nigerian students within the blueprint of a quantitative research of pre-treatment-intervention-post-treatment non-equivalent…

High school mathematics inclusion classes help provide all students the access to rigorous curriculum. This study provides information about the teacher efficacy of high school mathematics co-teachers. It considers the influence of the amount of collaborative planning time on the efficacy of co-teachers. A quantitative research design was used,…

Recently, the interest in ensuring integration between science and mathematics has been increasing. Taking this interest into consideration, this paper investigates whether or not a programme integrating particular attainments of science and technology, and mathematics classes in Turkey is effective. The study was performed in the educational term…
