This study investigates the impact of the Flipped Learning Model (FLM) with the support of Technology Pedagogy Content Knowledge (TPACK) instructional design on the academic performance of secondary school students in mathematics. The study involved 45 sixth-grade students from a public school in the Akdeniz district of Mersin, Turkey, during the…

Although self-assessing one's knowledge is an integral part of a teacher's professional development, little is known about the accuracy of teacher candidates' self-assessments. In particular, not much attention has been paid to their self-assessment accuracy assessed on an individual level. Using measures from research on metacognition, we…

The shortage of mathematics teachers necessitates deliberate efforts to retain high-quality ones in many parts of the world. This puts teacher job satisfaction in the spotlight since satisfied teachers are likely to retain their jobs. Thus, the purpose of this study is twofold. The first is to quantify the influence of teacher self-efficacy and…

In this article, we explored learners' conceptual understanding of coordinates and transformation geometry through concept mapping. A qualitative case study was employed in this study, and data was collected using an investigative task, observation and reflective interviews on a sample of 34 Grade 12 mathematics learners. The study was guided by…

To prepare preschoolers for kindergarten and success in later academic learning, early experiences with mathematics is an integral component of early childhood education. Because young children's success in early math is an indicator of positive developmental and later academic outcomes (Duncan et al., 2007), high-quality early math experiences…

Over the last decade, there has been great research interest in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in various fields, such as medicine, finance, and law. Recently, there has been a research focus on the application of AI in education, where it has great potential. Therefore, a systematic review of the literature on AI in education is…

Because educator licensure is gained by passing licensure examinations in most states, scores on high stakes tests are determining factors as to who will be teaching in America's classrooms. Due to a focus on program graduation rates, state funding cuts, and production of quality teachers, it is vital that teacher preparation programs produce the…

In this article, John West explores student misconceptions relating to division. A range of activities that promote the understanding of divisibility rules are provided.

The purpose is to discuss two competing theories of learning in preschool based on preschool teachers' views of knowledge and learning. The focus is mathematical learning but the discussion is applicable to all early childhood learning contexts. Preschool teachers' views on children's learning and development is important for the pedagogy they use…

Although prior work has shown that mastery-approach achievement goals are related to positive learning behaviors (e.g., more interest, perseverance, and self-regulation), less is known about how these goals interact with instruction to influence knowledge transfer. To address these issues we conducted a laboratory experiment investigating how two…

Concerned by the need to decolonize education for Aboriginal students, the authors explore philosophies of Indigenous ways of knowing and those of the 21st century learning movement. In their efforts to propose a way forward with Aboriginal education, the authors inquire into harmonies between Aboriginal knowledges and tenets of 21st century…

Calculus instructors struggle to teach infinite series, and students have difficulty understanding series and related concepts. Four instructional strategies, prominently used during the calculus reform movement, were implemented during a 3-week unit on infinite series in one class of second-semester calculus students. A description of each…

The purpose of this correlational study was to analyze the relationships of various performance variables of pre-service teachers enrolled in a teacher preparation program at Delta State University from fall 2009 to spring 2012. For this group of teacher candidates, the following relationships were analyzed: (a) the significance of the…
