Identifying mathematically gifted students is an important objective in mathematics education. To describe skills typical of these students, researchers pose problems in several mathematical domains whose solutions require using different mathematical capacities, such as visualization, generalization, proof, creativity, etc. This paper presents an…

This research examines the application of students' computational thinking (CT) in solving numerical method problems through computer software. Data collection involved observing their learning process and conducting tests to evaluate their CT skills within the context of the root approach material using Newton-Raphson method. The results indicate…

The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2012 utilized data from 63 countries and economies to generate research questions that centered on the contribution of mathematics self-efficacy, opportunity to learn (OTL), and how their interplay affected students' mathematical performance. This study reveals that in a majority of the…

This study assessed the motivation, learning strategies, and academic performance of Grade 11 modular-based students in General Mathematics in identified secondary schools as a basis for a proposed performance enhancement plan. There were 624 Grade 11 students across three public senior high schools in Cebu who were determined using stratified…

Integers present a global challenge for students due to their abstract nature and complex operations. To delve into the challenge students encountered, error analysis served as an alternative method to investigate errors diagnostically. This study aimed to explore error patterns related to integer addition and subtraction among seventh-grade…

Proficiency in foundational math skills for all students is an educational goal. Students will build and rely on these foundational skills for the rest of their lives. A solid understanding of mathematics is needed every day, no matter the job or career. Some students are lacking these fundamental math skills needed for their future. This research…

Mathematics plays a crucial role in engineering education. Students who are good at math are often advised to consider engineering as a career. In this study, engineers, mathematics teachers, and engineering professors were asked about the type of mathematics representative of engineering, whether the engineering problems created by math…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) represents a necessary fundamental 21st century skill for children and adolescents and is essential for the development of gifted students. This study explored mathematically gifted (MG) junior high school students' SRL capabilities while solving mathematical problems compared to typical achievers (TAs). A sample of…

The old canard that Indigenous and First Nations peoples had, or have, only rudimentary mathematical skills has been curiously persistent, against widespread published evidence over the past century and a half. In Australia, attempts to include Indigenous mathematical knowledge in curriculums have encountered strong resistance. After more than…

Background: Measurement of students' self-regulation skills is an active topic in education research, as effective assessment helps devising support interventions to foster academic achievement. Measures based on event tracing usually require large amounts of data (e.g., MOOCs and large courses), while aptitude measures are often qualitative and…

Not enough research has been conducted to determine what can support and encourage successful African-American students in mathematics. Many environmental and personal factors have been identified that may impact the success of African-American students in mathematics but studying and relating these factors at a qualitative level would benefit…

This study explored high school teachers' perceptions of math anxiety in students and the use of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) strategies to address it. The purpose of the study was to understand how teachers identified and managed math anxiety through SEL. A qualitative case study approach was used, involving semi-structured interviews with…

This quantitative dissertation examined the differences between young men and women's perceptions of mathematics and science identity, self-efficacy, and utility. There are gender norms and stereotypes that impact identity, self-efficacy, and perceived utility of mathematics and science. The secondary data analyzed were drawn from the follow-up…

In research on math self-concept (MSC) formation, very few studies have juxtaposed the effects of math grades, math ability, school-average math grades, and school-average math ability. However, these factors are important in enabling Taiwanese senior school students to achieve proper MSC and choose a suitable academic track. Thus, the present…

A qualitative case study was conducted by examining the perceptions of high school-aged females based on self-efficacy and math identity and how those experiences motivate the pursuit of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) career choices. As the world lacks efficient female representation in STEM-related careers, and careers…
