Rules are often created based on the needs and values of society. Social rules, on the other hand, are guidelines that state whether we should or should not do certain behaviors. In addition to educational activities, schools also include activities aimed at teaching social rules. The concept of rule, its formation, implementation, classification…

Student Profile Pancasila is a character that characterizes Indonesian students. For this reason, the character values of Pancasila students should be instilled in schools from an early age. The purpose of this study was to construct a Pancasila student character instrument for elementary school students. This study uses a quantitative approach…

Determining the most effective ways to support student-to-student talk requires some negotiating from a responsive teacher. This paper reports on a case study of two emergent multilingual students in Grade 3 (seven to eight-year-olds) who explained their strategies to each other. The transcript of their conversation was analysed using Chan and…

The objective of this study is to ascertain the impact of the Gametics Game Program on the visual perception and attention levels of third-grade primary school students. The participants in this study were third-grade students enrolled in primary school in Kocaeli. This study employed a pretest-posttest control group experimental design. The…

Students with mature number sense make sense of numbers and operations, use reasoning to notice patterns, and flexibly select the most effective and efficient problem-solving strategies (McIntosh et al., 1997; Yang, 2005). Despite being highlighted in national standards and policy documents (CCSS, 2010; NCTM, 2000), the association between…

This study investigated direct and indirect pathways from listening comprehension (LC) to reading comprehension (RC) via fluent word reading (FWR) in grades 1-3, and path equivalence across these grades. LC's total effects predicting RC range from 0.45 to 0.59 in grades 1-3, a stronger relationship than found in previous studies. Overall, LC's…

This study employed a discourse analysis methodology to compare Korean bilingual students in first and third grades by examining different functions and forms of translanguaging in Korean heritage language classrooms in the U.S. By identifying linguistic functions and forms of each translanguaging occurrence, the study presents that the bilingual…

Early years mathematics textbooks are support material for teachers and learners as they contain visual representations which communicate and clarify mathematical concepts. In this paper, we report on the types and functions of visual representations of multiplication and division in South African early years mathematics textbooks. There seems to…

Spatial reasoning skills are necessary to perform activities at school, at work and in everyday life, in general. Different studies indicate the importance of its development at an early age, since it allows the reading of a three-dimensional world and its interpretation in two-dimensional representations. Our research focuses on the design of…

I examined the relationship between teachers' identification of mathematical points in written lessons and students' mathematical learning opportunities. Lessons in teachers' guides and classroom instruction were analyzed for written mathematical points and those articulated by teachers during instruction. Teachers who appropriately identified…

The current study explored the reasons for students' preferences for the teach-first and task-first lesson structures, and whether students' preferences were influenced by their perceptions of the teacher's preference. Students (n=18) from two composite Year 3 and 4 classes (aged 8-10 years) completed a post-lesson drawing task and participated in…

This study investigated the relationship between non-cognitive factors (mathematics anxiety, Emotional Intelligence, and mathematics self-concept) and mathematics performance in students with and without Mathematics Learning Disability (MLD). Participants were 340 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students from a public elementary school. Results showed…

A child's ability to understand text (reading comprehension) can greatly impact both their ability to learn in the classroom and their future contributions to society. Reading comprehension draws on oral language; behavioural measures of knowledge at the word and sentence levels have been shown to be related to children's reading comprehension. In…

Providing opportunities for students to demonstrate their mathematical thinking can be challenging. This paper reports on a case study conducted with a teacher and her class of Grade 3/4 students which investigated this phenomenon. Following collection of baseline data that showed her students were not demonstrating evidence of mathematical…

Students with learning disabilities/difficulties in mathematics often apply ineffective procedures to solve word problems. Given that current mathematics curriculum standards emphasize conceptual understanding in problem solving as well as higher-order thinking and reasoning, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a model-based…
