Culture-based mathematics learning (C-bMLI) has emerged as a promising approach to improving students' mathematical skills, yet previous research presents inconsistent findings regarding its efficacy compared to conventional methods. To address this gap, a meta-analytic study is needed to consolidate and present the latest insights regarding the…

This study examined the metacognitive knowledge of Finnish comprehensive school students and explored whether grade-based differences in metacognitive knowledge exist among 6th, 7th and 9th graders. Integrating qualitative (declarative, procedural, conditional) and contextual (person, task, strategy) frameworks, the research aims for a…

Equitable teaching practices encompass evidence-based strategies utilised by teachers to support the learning of all pupils, while recognising each pupil's unique background. This study delves into the perspectives of Scottish teachers regarding equity in mathematics, as evidenced by their self-reported practices. By analysing semi-structured…

Elementary teachers are generalists, usually with a reading background. As such, a number of teachers have low self-efficacy about teaching mathematics for conceptual understanding. Researchers suggest that some major categories associated with this problem are not enough adequate professional development (PD) addressing conceptual understanding…

Background/Prior Research: Research shows that teacher quality is the single most powerful influence on student learning (e.g., Nye et al., 2004; Rivkin et al., 2005), yet teachers report that they are not well prepared to implement standards- based mathematics education with heterogeneous groups of students. Banilower et al. (2018) found in a…

In this paper we discuss students' opportunities to learn to pose mathematical problems, based on a historical analysis of problem posing in the area of number and algebra in six series of Chinese primary school mathematics textbooks published since the 1950s. We examine changes in the proportion and distribution of the problem-posing tasks, and…

This study aims to determine pre-service preschool teachers' opinions about writing to learn mathematics and the methods they use while writing. Survey design, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the study. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 418 pre-service teachers studying in the preschool teaching undergraduate…

This study examined the impact of mathematical practices and beliefs on teaching and learning, school accountability, and school demographics in Mississippi school districts. The study also examined the effect of effective mathematical practices, beliefs, and perceptions of teachers. Grades kindergarten through twelfth grade were included in the…

Classroom dialogue is widely used in mathematics teaching and learning, and if managed strategically, it will have productive benefits for mathematics achievement. However, dialogic participants often lack awareness of how dialogue could be constructed, and few studies show the characteristics of dialogic patterns in different stages of education.…

The aim of this paper is to review some studies conducted with different learning areas in which the schemes of different participants emerge. Also it is about to show how mathematical proofs are handled in these studies by considering Harel and Sowder's classification of proof schemes with specific examples. As a result, it was seen that the…

The purpose of this quantitative study was to gather information from elementary teachers who use best practices to examine the impact of self-efficacy and mindset. Data was gathered from elementary teachers who use best practices in mathematics instruction. This research examined if location type (rural, suburban, urban), years of experience…

The objective of this study was to ascertain the elements that influence the effectiveness of mathematics instruction in the 21st century for secondary school students within the jurisdiction of the secondary educational service area office Lopburi (SEAOL). The research utilized survey methodology. The study population consisted of 400 secondary…

The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate the effectiveness of the use of games as part of mathematics instruction on academic achievement in grades Kindergarten to 12 in the United States. There were 17 studies selected for investigation published from 2010 to 2023 that focused on game-based learning and mathematics. This meta-analysis…

In this study, it was aimed to reveal the effect of using technology on the students' academic achievement in primary mathematics education. In accordance with this purpose, the current study is to determine the overall effect size by bringing together the experimental studies conducted on the effect on students' academic achievement of using…

Mathematics is a particularly notable domain in which to understand the role of body movement for improving reasoning, instruction, and learning. One reason is that mathematics ideas are often expressed and taught through disembodied formalisms--diagrams and symbols that are culturally designed to be abstract, amodal, and arbitrary (Glenberg et…
