This article explores the integration of digital tools in Norwegian primary school mathematics classrooms, focusing on teachers' experiences. With the increasing use of technology in education, digital tools have the potential to enhance mathematics instruction by enabling personalised learning, increasing student engagement, and offering dynamic…

Motivation to learn mathematics decreased due to the inability of teachers to implement innovative learning models and techniques. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of teachers' ability on students' motivation to learn mathematics by using quantitative methods and survey approaches. There were 32 mathematics teachers and 542…

The current study investigates teachers' conception and reflection of computer programming from scratch in terms of technological and pedagogical standpoint. Mixed research approaches typically achievement tests and interviews were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data respectively. A total of twenty-one Mathematics and Science…

Australian universities providing mathematics teacher preparation are increasingly offering their courses online or in limited face-to-face mixed mode delivery. There are limited empirical data on why pre-service teachers make delivery mode choices and how these impact on academic standards and student satisfaction ratings. This paper reports on…

The study was on the influence of acquisition of digital instructional resources on the teaching effectiveness of mathematics teachers in public senior secondary schools in Cross River State. To achieve this, a hypothesis was drawn from the stated research question to guide the study. Literature review was carried out according to the variable in…

In the transition to middle school, and during the middle school years, students' motivation for mathematics tends to decline from what it was during elementary school. Formative assessment strategies in mathematics can help support motivation by building confidence for challenging tasks. In this study, the authors developed and piloted a…

This study examined preservice teachers' reactions to and reflections on a set of five animations as representations of algebra instruction. The results showed that most comments in the preservice teachers' reflections were related to: (a) student learning and motivation, or (b) the classroom and instructional environment. Few comments in the…

International comparative studies and cross-cultural studies of mathematics achievement indicate that Chinese students (whether living in or outside China) consistently outperform their Western counterparts. This study shows that the gap between Chinese-Australian and other Australian students is best explained by differences in motivation to…

The current work is the first article in a two-paper series exploring the role of explicit learning objectives in undergraduate mathematics instruction. A definition of student-learning objective (SLO) is introduced. We give examples of SLOs for topics from introductory college and university mathematics courses. We list potential advantages of a…

This document contains the second volume of the proceedings of the 30th Annual Conference of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education. Conference presentations are centered around the theme "Mathematics at the Centre." This volume features 60 research reports by presenters with last names beginning between Abr…
