This descriptive research aimed to know students' problem-solving ability in arithmetic operations on algebra forms through an Indonesian realistic mathematics education, namely Pendidikan Matematika Realistik Indonesia (PMRI), approach in secondary school number 17 Palembang. The learning process, material, and assessment used were principles and…

Singapore students have consistently demonstrated outstanding levels of performance in mathematics and problem solving captured in international assessments. However, these stellar results stand in contrast to Singapore's real-world problem-solving capacities, evidenced by her diffident innovation levels and a limited talent pool with…

Traditionally, absenteeism has been understood as a problem that requires individualised punitive measures. However, more recent studies have highlighted the importance and coherence of tackling it through community-based approaches in which the entire educational ecosystem is involved and participates. This article describes the methodological…

A teacher of mathematics knows mathematics as a teacher and as a mathematician. Whilst the existing research on teacher knowledge contributes to our understanding of the ways of knowing mathematics as a teacher, little is known about ways of knowing mathematics as a mathematician. Guided by the conceptual framework of mathematical practices (MPs)…

Metacognition cannot develop on its own; therefore, teachers should teach this skill to their students. Teachers should provide appropriate models and guidelines so pre-service teachers can gain awareness of metacognition before starting their profession. This service sought to determine how a holistic approach affects Turkish pre-service…

This pressing issue requires immediate attention and action. Education, particularly STEM education, is one of the key areas that can contribute to addressing this issue. STEM education is an alternative learning strategy that can enhance students' problem-solving and decision-making skills in relation to the challenges posed by the need for clean…

This research was conducted to examine the views of preschool teachers regarding out-of-school learning environments for mathematics activities and their usage of these environments. The research was conducted out using a phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research methods. The study group consisted of 42 preschool teachers working in…

Problem-solving is a key aspect of mathematics instruction. Although it is part of several national curricula, its implementation is still being vastly explored. The present research, which is part of a larger project, aimed to investigate the effect of using problem-oriented instruction in grade 3 of primary school on students' mathematical…

This article examines students' opinions regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) as a teammate in solving complex problems. The overarching goal of the study is to explore the effectiveness of AI as a collaborative partner in educational settings. In the study, 15 groups of grade 9 students (59 students total) were assigned a challenging…

Achieving proficiency in fundamental differential calculus concepts remains a persistent challenge for grade 12 students, raising concerns among mathematics teachers and policymakers. Despite the widely acknowledged applications of differential calculus across diverse disciplines, global examination diagnostic reports consistently highlight…

Background/purpose. One of the current problems facing mathematics students, graduates in mathematics, and engineering is the disconnection between the meanings, symbolic representations, and graphics of derivatives when solving problems, which hinders their understanding. This article analyzes engineering students' understanding activated by…

This research aimed to study students' innovative thinking by using Project-Based Learning. The quasi-experimental one-group pretest/posttest design was implemented for the target group, which consisted of 29 third-year Digital Technology teacher students who were enrolled in the second semester of the academic year 2023. Research instruments…

Fractal Geometry (GF) comprises problems characterized by having particular geometric and analytical properties based on the concept of self-similarity. Fractals constitute a breaking point in relation to classical Geometry. In addition, many natural phenomena exhibit fractal features, leading to several useful practical applications. In spite of…

This study aimed to develop a valid and reliable scale for determining teachers' needs to increase their efficiency in professional practice. The stages of creating an item pool, consulting expert opinions, pilot testing, and conducting validity and reliability analyses were followed. Initially, a 46-item pool was created based on a literature…

In recent years, numerous research studies have highlighted how teachers' perceptions of educational robotics (ER) and their sense of self-efficacy can influence the learning process. Although different instruments exist to investigate teachers' perspectives on ER, the Robotics Interest Questionnaire (RIQ) scale, developed within the Portuguese…
