Flipped learning is a constructivist methodology that uses various active learning strategies, drawing on the potential of digital technologies whenever possible. Several research studies have shown the many benefits that flipped learning can bring to students' learning process and their affective sphere, but studies in the specific area of…

Motivated by earlier research highlighting Swedish teachers' beliefs that the setting of homework compromises deep-seated principles of educational equity, this paper presents an exploratory study of Swedish parents' perspectives on homework in their year-one children's learning. Twenty-five parents, drawn from three demographically different…

In the Hungarian "Guided Discovery" approach to teaching mathematics, teachers' planning work plays a crucial role. Teachers following the approach develop teaching trajectories based on "series of problems". This work includes the choice, creation, transformation, organization and networking of problems with regard to various…

This study aims to examine the construction process of the square root concept of secondary school students in Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) based environment. The study was carried out in an 8th-grade classroom with 16 students from a secondary school in a city in the Black Sea Region. The research was designed qualitatively as a case…

Crystalline concept is the main concept used as the reference by students in algebraic verification. This concept divided the way of solving algebraic verification into two types: symbolic and embodied compression. This research aimed to explore the students' mathematical thinking process in solving algebraic verification based on the Crystalline…

The mathematical literacy ability of Indonesian pupils is still relatively low, as indicated by Indonesia's score of 379 for mathematical literacy in PISA 2018. Paying attention to the learning process such as the teaching materials used in learning, is one of ways to increase mathematical literacy skills. To strengthen students' mathematical…

Objective: Explicit instructions to students to use the index finger to trace out specified elements of mathematics worked examples have been shown to improve mathematics learning outcomes; however, there is limited research on whether the magnitude of tracing actions impacts these outcomes. Method: Using an experimental design, 34 adults were…

Background: Previous research in the field of content and language integrated learning (CLIL) has not yet comprehensively investigated the interaction between learners' expertise and the instructional effectiveness. Aims: Taking cognitive load theory as the theoretical framework, a study was conducted to investigate the expertise reversal effect…

Mathematical modelling has garnered national and international interest due to its importance. Mathematical modelling can develop students' mathematical understandings, teamwork and communication practices. The ability for teachers to select appropriate mathematical modelling tasks is important to ensure the benefits listed for students are…

Generalization is considered to be an essential part of mathematical reasoning and proving, and it has many definitions in mathematics education research. Despite its centrality, teachers often have difficulty identifying and responding to generalization in students' work. In this study, we focus on preservice teacher's (PTs) ability to describe…

This paper problematizes the metaphors of unpacking, deconstructing, and decompressing mathematics that are prevalent in discourses about mathematics teacher knowledge. It is argued that the logic of these metaphors is based on the reversibility of packing, constructing, and compressing mathematics and seems to suggest the view that knowledge is…

This article focuses on students' meaning-making when working with mathematics textbooks from a multimodal approach that encompasses all resources for communication, which is an under researched area. Central to this study are the designed meanings of the textbooks and the affordances discovered by students when working with the textbooks. Video…

The teaching and learning of mathematical modelling involve engagement in real-world situations and the mathematization of such situations. In this study, the communication between teachers and students in 13 lessons (0.75-1.5 hours each) in two Norwegian upper secondary classrooms is observed and recorded to explore how modelling is communicated…

This qualitative case study explored an elementary foundations mathematics course and the mathematics vocabulary elementary pre-service teachers (PSTs) encounter at various stages in their preparation as mediated by curriculum, standards, and assessment materials. Guided by the theoretical lens of a constructivism-informed conceptual framework,…

This study investigates the use of an assistive humanoid robot for teaching to and learning among young children in an informal learning environment. The robot is called NAO and built by SoftBank Robotics. NAO was used to teach a mathematic concept of measurement to young children. They engaged with the robot through the teaching and learning of…
