This paper introduces the Affording Understanding Conceptual Framework as a way for mathematics teacher educators to analyze student 's perceptions of a digital math tool 's helpfulness (e.g., GeoGebra) versus the instructor's perceptions when seeking insights into how a lesson design could be improved. An example of this action research process…

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the application of mathematical software to the mathematical abilities of students in Indonesia. For this purpose, 64 effect sizes from 51 studies published in national and international journals from 2011 to 2019 were analyzed using the meta-analysis method. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA)…

The purpose of the study was to explore whether learners' conceptual knowledge (CK) or procedural knowledge (PK) understanding of calculus using the stimulus of active technology-based learning strategy better influence their content knowledge (COK) development. The quantitative methods were used in a quasi-experimental design. CK, PK and COK…

This paper describes a pre-service mathematics teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) during her school experience. This study focuses on how the participant taught different views of three-dimensional objects in a private middle school. It is a descriptive case study in which the data was collected through semi-structured…

A challenge with flipped instruction is the pre-class preparation, where students independently learn fundamental content outside the classroom. For this pre-class learning, instructors typically assign videos with quizzes. However, this approach is the same for all and does not address differential needs. In a prior National Science Foundation…

The COVID-19 epidemic had caused one of the most significant disruptions to the global education system. Many educational institutions faced sudden pressure to switch from face-to-face to online delivery of courses. The conventional classes are no longer the primary means of delivery; instead, online education and resources have become the…

Students from many different subject areas are required to study statistics as part of their qualification. The Open University developed a statistics module which could simultaneously be studied by students from a variety of different disciplines, by engaging them with topics which are of interest to everyone, namely money, education and health,…

This paper addresses the design of teaching to promote engineering students' conceptual understanding of mathematics, and its outcomes for mathematical meaning-making. Within a developmental research approach, inquiry-based tasks have been designed and evaluated, through the use of competencies proposed for their potential to promote conceptual…

The number of students entering engineering schools in Australian universities has increased tremendously over the last few years because of the Australian Federal Government's policy of increasing the participation rates of Higher School Certificate students and students from low social economic status backgrounds in the tertiary sector. They now…

The advent of integrated multidisciplinary research has given rise to some of the most important breakthroughs of our time, but has also set significant challenges to the current educational paradigm. Current academic education often limits cross-discipline discussion, depends on close-ended problems, and restricts utilization of interdisciplinary…

E-assessments of students profoundly influence their motivation and play a key role in the educational process. Adapting assessment techniques to current technological advancements allows for effective pedagogical practices, learning processes, and student engagement. The "Handbook of Research on E-Assessment in Higher Education"…

This study concentrated on faculty perceptions of the instructional methods used in delivering online mathematics courses. Included in the study were mathematics instructors from 3 Florida public postsecondary institutions. A concurrent, mixed methods approach was used to evaluate instructors' self-perceived levels of implementation of the 7…

Less than half of the students in the United States graduate from high school and are ready to take college-level math courses. Many years and varieties of remedial math programs have failed to dramatically improve outcomes, especially at scale. The question we face is whether technology in general, and open educational resources in particular,…

This study used a mixed-methods approach to evaluate a hybrid teaching format that incorporated an online tutoring system, ALEKS, to address students' learning needs in a graduate-level introductory statistics course. Student performance in the hybrid course with ALEKS was found to be no different from that in a course taught in a traditional…

The effect of educational technologies on learning is an area of active interest. We conducted an experiment to compare the impact of instructional software on student performance. We hypothesize that some of the impact on student performance may reflect the influence of the technology on student subject-related beliefs and that those beliefs may…
