As the world reckons with the existential threat posed by climate change, the US remains deeply divided about the need for action. The solution to this problem, many have argued, begins with teaching environmentalism in primary and secondary schools and fostering receptivity to environmental issues and environmental science among the next…

In this paper, we present a case study of a secondary mathematics teacher, Isaac (pseudonym), and his considerations for teaching with multiple methods for solving missing-value problems. While his students preferred methods that drew more closely on their intuitive understanding of proportionality, Isaac emphasised the algorithmic…

As a result of the nature and outcomes of classroom education, questions concerning what constitutes successful teaching persist. This study intends to characterize, from the perspective of primary school teacher candidates, the practices of primary school teachers in terms of effective instruction in inclusive classrooms. Observations of…

The purposes of the study were to investigate the effectiveness of the K-W-D-L technique on grade 10 students' mathematical problem-solving abilities and to study the students' attitudes toward learning mathematics after participating in learning management designed using the K-W-D-L technique. The participants were 40 grade 10 students in a…

This study examined the effects of shared representational guidance (collaborative textural representative tool vs. collaborative graphical representative tool; TR vs. GR) and prior knowledge (low vs. high; LPK vs. HPK) on different levels of individuals' understanding of specific-domain knowledge after collaborative problem solving (CPS). A total…

This study explores the self-efficacy and problem-solving skills of middle school mathematics students. The students -- 111 9th graders who were studying a unit for the analysis of function -- were given mathematics instruction that was based on either dynamic or static visualization. Findings revealed a positive impact of instruction that was…

In this case study, we investigate one teacher's implementation of DNR-based combinatorics curriculum in their high school discrete mathematics class. By examining the teacher's practices in whole-class discussions of two counting problems, we study how they advanced a variety of ways of thinking to support the development of a set-oriented way of…

This introduction presents Active Learning Methodology, surveying its history, main existing tools and supporting evidence, with an emphasis on mathematics and higher education, in particular engineering studies. This work is part of the DrIVE-Math project, developing innovative mathematical teaching strategies in engineering studies.

The author presents a child-centered approach to teaching, developed through longtime connections with colleagues, which concentrates on the children and provides them time to make their own connections, to learn, to think, and to develop at their own pace with the support of their classmates. Two examples of how mathematics interlaced into…

This quasi-experimental design study aimed to examine how exposure to supporting productive struggle teaching practice impacts students' conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and strategic competence when solving high-demanding quadratic functions problem solving tasks. Results suggested that students in the supporting productive struggle…

Paradoxes are particularly problematic in literacy as they often complicate learning. However, identifying and examining them can also tell us something about the inherent problems within social, political, and educational systems. This paper reports on an analysis of a total of 205 AJLL articles and editorials, published between 2011 and 2021.…

Education research has established that teachers' beliefs matter because they can affect classroom practices and student outcomes, and beliefs are viewed as an important construct within statistics education. However, relatively little research about the beliefs of in-service statistics teachers has been conducted. Additionally, little research…

Development of self-assurance, improvement of interpersonal communication, development of the sense of security, an opportunity to share one's experiences and ideas, as well as cooperation and interaction, which supplant rivalry and competition are just a few benefits resulting from working with the problem methods for the pupils. We have…

Given the political, societal, scientific and geographical changes emerging in our twenty-first century world, we need to apply refreshed innovative processes in universal education. By applying such processes for universally refreshed quality of life norms, this paper applies the results of my Philosophy of Education thesis to today's conditions,…

High crime rates and general issues of social dysfunction are common in developing countries. This paper, using a case study of Jamaica, shows the possibility of using moral and religious values to guide youth within the education system, with the ultimate goal of intercepting these societal issues. The recent spate of violence in Jamaica's…
