Personas, initially originated in user experience research, are short and simplified representations of particular user groups, and this methodological approach has recently gained ground in educational research. This study aims to explore aspects of personas that may be beneficial for prospective mathematics teachers when they develop digital…

In the post-pandemic world, metaverse technology has become a popular approach to facilitating students' online learning experiences. Drawing on Kolb's experiential learning theory, we created immersive scenes using CoSpaces Edu, a 'mirror-world' metaverse platform that enables students to observe mathematical properties virtually. We applied a…

The increase in online education has implications for mathematics teacher educators who are tasked with teaching mathematics content and pedagogy to pre-service teachers (PSTs) who do not attend on-campus. Concerns about PSTs' content knowledge continues to be an ongoing issue, and ways to address this, especially in an online environment, require…

Assimilating an algorithmic course is a persistent problem for many undergraduate students. The major problem faced by students is the lack of problem solving ability and flexibility. Therefore, students are generally passive, unmotivated and unable to mobilize all the acquired knowledge (loops, test, variables, etc.) to deal with new encountered…

This study explored in a sample of 560 high level education students their judgment formation to perceived self-efficacy to solve mathematical tasks. Students had to read 36 experimental vignettes describing educative scenarios to learn mathematics. Each scenario presented four manipulated pieces of information (learning modality, task difficulty,…

Increasing availability of digital devices in elementary school classrooms presents exciting new opportunities for teachers to support the teaching and learning of mathematics. Although many of the math applications available for these devices focus on drill and practice of mathematical procedures, screencasting apps can help support effective…
