Integrating literacy in science and mathematics learning and teaching has been an ongoing endeavour. There are frameworks developed to guide teachers' practices, but little is reported on assessing literacy simultaneously with scientific or mathematical content knowledge. We reviewed the literature on assessing literacy in science and mathematics…

Successful integration of problem-solving in mathematics classrooms lies mostly with the assistance and support teachers get. Many studies have been conducted on the strategies teachers can use to integrate problem-solving in their teaching of mathematics, however, few studies have been conducted on frameworks/models that can assist teachers and…

Teacher education programs are pivotal in the professional preparation and formation of pre-service secondary mathematics teachers (PSMTs), but there appears to be a lack of understanding of how best to prepare PSMTs for the profession. The purpose of this study was to examine and monitor changes over time in PSMTs' views about approaches to…

When geometry teaching lacks elements of flexibility, inclusivity and accessibility, it is often difficult for learners to follow and understand what they are being taught. In line with this, this paper reports on the application of universal design for instruction (UDI) to guide flexible and accessible teaching of geometry to maximise learning.…

Homeschooling, where parents take on the prime responsibility for their children's education, is a growing phenomenon in Australia. Homeschooling is different from distance education or the education at home that has taken place in the COVID-19 pandemic in that the parents make all the decisions about their children's education, including…

Our study aimed to examine the transformation of pre-service mathematics teachers' theoretical knowledge into in-service mathematics teachers' instructional practice. We carried out seven focus group interviews, three individual phone call interviews, and classroom observations in four semesters with three Turkish pre-service mathematics teachers.…

This pilot study explores the effectiveness of a strategy for overcoming post-primary students' misconceptions within the topic of algebra. Although central to the study of mathematics, algebra can be an area of difficulty for many students. A misconception is typically classified as flawed understanding of a concept causing repeated errors, and…

There is a body of research around the uptake of digital technologies in secondary schools, and a growing body of research specifically designed to investigate the use of one-to-one laptop programs. However this research focused on the initial uptake of the digital technology or initial implementation of a one-to-one (1:1) laptop policy. Given the…
