Storytelling is a valuable form of human expression that allows audience members to connect their own experiences with the narrative. As a pedagogical tool, storytelling has been explored mainly in primary school education but rarely in higher education. However, its potential for assisting students in learning mathematics and the societal…

Problems presented in mathematics classrooms often focus on routine tasks with students practicing mathematical techniques demonstrated by the teacher. However, this does not reflect the problem-solving process in the real world, and students often find it difficult to connect school mathematics with authentic contexts. This paper discusses…

Monteleone, Chrissy; Miller, Jodie – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2023
In this study, the authors investigate the ways in which young students demonstrate their critical mathematical thinking (CMT). Students aged 5-6 who are beginning their first formal year of education participated in the study. Data is presented from individual clinical interviews undertaken with 16 students. These interviews were analysed using…

A deeper understanding of what factors influence metacognition has never become more pressing than in today's digital era, in which information flows constantly and quickly. To this end, the present study explored the role of culture in mediating how individuals experience metacognitive phenomena. For this purpose, the International Group on…

Yurt, Eyüp – International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, 2022
In this study, the relationships between task value, self-efficacy and mathematics anxiety in everyday life in secondary school students were investigated. In addition, the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between task value and mathematics anxiety in daily life was examined. 203 secondary school students participated in the…

Ellis, Amy B.; Lockwood, Elise; Tillema, Erik; Moore, Kevin – Cognition and Instruction, 2022
Generalization is a critical component of mathematical reasoning, with researchers recommending that it be central to education at all grade levels. However, research on students' generalizing reveals pervasive difficulties in creating and expressing general statements, which underscores the need to better understand the processes that can support…

Scheiner, Thorsten – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2022
Noticing students' mathematical strengths is a complex skill that prospective teachers need to learn. To this end, a teacher education course was designed to engage prospective mathematics teachers in critically reflecting on their individual and collectively shared framings of students' mathematical understanding, thereby effecting a change in…

Tak, Chan Choon; Zulnaidi, Hutkemri; Eu, Leong Kwan – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Individuals' perceptions or beliefs about their mathematical aptitude are commonly classified as mathematics self-efficacy. Conversely, metacognitive awareness is characterized as a phenomenon that presents itself in a variety of ways as people engage with objects and circumstances in their everyday lives. The objective of this quantitative…

Xu, Jiajun – Arab World English Journal, 2021
The study aimed to achieve three objectives: 1) to identify the Multiple Intelligences (MI) perceived by Heilongjiang International University (HIU) students, 2) to develop and implement a task-based English speaking course with MI features, and 3) to evaluate the extent the developed English speaking course contributes to the improvement of HIU…

Brownlow, Luke – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2021
There is significant research addressing identities in mathematics focusing on school children and maximizing testing scores. However, mathematics confidence in preservice teachers is something that needs further attention as they will have foundational roles in students developing lifelong mathematics identities. Hence, mathematics confidence in…

Breen, Sinead; O'Shea, Ann; Pfeiffer, Kirsten – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2016
We report here on students' views of example generation tasks assigned to them in two first year undergraduate Calculus courses. The design and use of such tasks was undertaken as part of a project which aimed to afford students opportunities to develop their thinking skills and their conceptual understanding. In interviews with 10 students, we…

Sumpter, Lovisa – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2013
Upper secondary students' task solving reasoning was analysed with a focus on arguments for strategy choices and conclusions. Passages in their arguments for reasoning that indicated the students' beliefs were identified and, by using a thematic analysis, categorized. The results stress three themes of beliefs used as arguments for…

Guerra, Paula; Lim, Woong – Journal of Urban Mathematics Education, 2014
In this article, the authors present three adolescent Latinas' perceptions of ideal mathematical competencies, their perception of their individual "abilities" in mathematics, and their work on a mathematics problem-solving task. Results indicate that these Latinas recognize flexible mathematics as the ideal mathematical competency in…

Ritter, Carrie Lineberry – ProQuest LLC, 2015
Calls for better preparation of STEM teachers have been prominent in educational communities and among the public for the past several years (e.g. American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, 2007). Some research suggests one way to improve mathematics instruction is to increase elementary pre-service teachers' "mathematical…

Haja, Shajahan; Clarke, David – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2011
The structure of two-tier testing is such that the first tier consists of a multiple-choice question and the second tier requires justifications for choices of answers made in the first tier. This study aims to evaluate two-tier tasks in "proportion" in terms of students' capacity to write and select justifications and to examine the effect of…
