The mathematics education field recognizes the importance of noticing children's mathematical thinking as a means for supporting children in learning mathematics (Sherin et al. Mathematics teacher noticing. Routledge, New York, 2010). Using the existing literature base around teachers' knowledge of children's mathematical thinking and…

The "cold open" is a literary technique that can be usefully adapted for management education, particularly as an opening exercise on the first day of class. Specifically, this approach includes presenting a carefully chosen problem to the class without preamble, providing students an opportunity to work on the problem, and perhaps most…

A lack of alignment between professional practice and education has triggered the move to alternative educational models, often with detailed scripts and templates to be followed. Among these are variants of problem/case-based models, where learners are challenged to achieve professionally desired learning outcomes and acquire knowledge and skills…

The mathematics standards for many countries include teaching and learning ratios, typically with efficient algorithms and strategies (Australian Curriculum: Mathematics, Assessment and Reporting Authority, 2017; National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2014). In the 1990s, Cramer and Post (1993) claimed that school mathematics mostly involves…

This editorial introduces a special section of the "Journal of Learning Analytics," for which Neil Selwyn's keynote address to LAK '18 has been written up as an article, "What's the problem with learning analytics?" His claims and arguments are engaged in commentaries from Alfred Essa, Rebecca Ferguson, Paul Prinsloo, and…

Understanding the proof problem is necessary in the development of geometric proof in schools. This paper discusses findings from a qualitative case study which explored the mathematical work done by teachers in helping students to understand geometric proof problems. Data were generated from two teachers through video-recorded observations of 30…

There are challenges in teaching research methodology as highlighted by many researchers. Among the challenges are strategies for putting material in context. For achieving this purpose, students' engagement in the learning process needs to be re-looked. This paper shares on a practice engaging students in a research methodology class. The…

In the technology classroom, practical problem-solving activities require interaction between teacher and students. To explore these interactions, we use Joint Action Theory of Didactics (JATD). Joint actions occur within a didactical system where teacher, students and content are understood as an undividable whole. Of particular interest is how…

In recent years, increased attention has been given to the ideas of growth mindsets, brain science, and mathematical mindsets thanks to the important contributions by Dweck (2008), Boaler (2015), and their research teams. Many math teachers invest the time and energy into thinking about what motivates students to learn. The body of work on…

This study contributes to our understanding of meaning making in CSCL environments by examining a specific aspect of collaborative problem solving in which students improvise, introduce, and make meaning with representations in disciplinary domains. These situations include the embodied and imaginative processes of discovering new representational…

Formulating a mathematical model is a dynamic process, and attending to changes in students' models as they engage in modeling tasks is critical for informing pedagogical interventions. In this report, we coordinate constructs from literature on mathematical modeling, quantitative and covariational reasoning, and semiotics to characterize changes…

"Turning Points" invites readers to join in a dialogue about creating more responsive studio art pedagogies for all, following a global pandemic that forced art educators to do what many believed to be impossible: teach studio art online. Amidst this sudden shift, long-simmering social and political challenges pushed to the forefront,…

We present findings from a study about obstacles that Black students who succeeded in developmental mathematics in community college reported having endured in those mathematics classrooms. To understand the types of obstacles that can arise for students in these classrooms, we analyze data using two frameworks: mathematics identity and dimensions…

The efforts to empower collaboration skills are still a challenge for educational study programs in Indonesia. Various studies have focused more on efforts to improve collaboration skills, not exploring how lecturers' strategies are in training students' collaboration skills. This study aims to: (1) describe the lecturer's strategy for improving…

Lesson planning is a crucial component of effective mathematics instruction. However, existing lesson planning frameworks and design models do not explicitly foreground equity and inclusion within instructional planning which are necessary in teaching every student. The What-How-Who structure frames the planning process by foregrounding who the…
