Yeliz Yazgan; Tugçe Kozakli Ülger – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
Problem posing is an indispensable constituent of mathematical thinking, which makes it a requisite ability for students of all grades. Therefore, pre- and in-service teachers should carry out problem posing activities of high quality, and having them pose non-routine problems may be a good way to make this happen. In this context, this study…

Sigrid Iversen Klock – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
This article addresses argumentation in middle-school students' group work with conjectures in arithmetic with different epistemic states. Twenty-five episodes were analysed using G. J. Stylianides' framework for reasoning and proving, which comprised a mathematical, psychological, and pedagogical component. The mathematical component was studied…

Arslan, Okan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
Teaching is considered a profession in which emotions have a prominent role and it is commonly mentioned in the literature that emotions should be taken into consideration in research related to teacher identity. However, there are limited studies in the accessible literature that investigate beginning teachers' teacher identity development from…

Monica Leppma; Marjorie Darrah – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Many undergraduate students avoid mathematics classes due to math anxiety. This curtails options, particularly STEM majors where workers are needed and jobs are prevalent. This study aimed to investigate whether self-efficacy, mindfulness, and self-compassion predicted math anxiety. Participants of this study were undergraduate students (N = 345)…

Farzaneh Saadati; Valentina Giaconi; Fabián Barrera-Pedemonte – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Affect has been identified as one of the important inputs in illuminating the mechanism of cognitive activities in mathematical problem solving (MPS). This study aimed to assess upper primary students' MPS-related affect with a focus on its differences across gender and grade-level among upper primary students. To do so, a simple Likert type scale…

Maciejewski, Wes – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Greater flexibility with procedures is known to be associated with greater conceptual knowledge of mathematics and vice versa. In parallel, a student's emotional relationship to mathematics -- i.e. their 'affect' -- is known to influence how they learn and perform in mathematics. For example, a confident student may engage more fully with…

Adam J. Castillo; Pablo Durán; Edgar Fuller; Charity Watson; Geoff Potvin; Laird H. Kramer – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
A study conducted by the Mathematical Association of America showed that calculus not only has significant effects on students' decision to pursue STEM fields, but also on their attitudes towards mathematics. Inspired by this large-scale study, the present study sought to deepen the current understanding of the impact of calculus on student…

Barahmand, Ali – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
The purpose of the study was to explore students' consistency in their notions encountering different methods in solving the same task of comparing values of certain infinite series. The participants were 93 male students aged 16-17. Applying cognitive conflict approach and the data were collected through a questionnaire administrated in two…

Andrea Bertoni; Andrea Maffia – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
While the development of creativity, or creative thinking, in mathematics is considered important by many researchers, there are several difficulties in implementing creative tasks, especially before secondary school. Within the original context of a mathematical escape game, this paper reports two episodes exemplifying the difficulties met by…

Kohen, Zehavit – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
Technology has an inseparable role in contemporary educational systems. Recent demands consider its informed integration in classrooms. The current study aims to investigate whether informed use of Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) technologies affects students' real-time emotions in mathematics classes, through an integrative research model that…

Sumpter, Lovisa; Sollerman, Samuel – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
This paper targets patterns of expressed emotional directions towards mathematics. By using TIMSS data and recoding two of the instruments, we compared responses from the same student cohort in Grade 4 (11 years old) and Grade 8 (15 years old) in Sweden. Two hypotheses were tested: negative emotions including negative motivations increase with…

Selden, Annie; McKee, Kerry; Selden, John – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
In this largely theoretical article, we discuss the relation between a kind of affect, behavioural schemas and aspects of the proving process. We begin with affect as described in the mathematics education literature, but soon narrow our focus to a particular kind of affect--nonemotional cognitive feelings. We then mention the position of feelings…

Junius, Premalatha – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
The focus of the article is on the complex cognitive process involved in learning the concept of "straightness" in Non-Euclidean geometry. Learning new material is viewed through a conflict resolution framework, as a student questions familiar assumptions understood in Euclidean geometry. A case study reveals how mathematization of the straight…

Luk, Hing Sun – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2005
It seems self-evident that there is a significant gap between secondary school and university mathematics, even though the gap may take different forms, which vary with different education systems in different places and at different times. This paper attempts to capture some common forms of this gap, and in particular, it discusses some core…
