The concept of academic momentum links student enrollment patterns to degree completion whereby patterns of meaningful, consistent collegiate enrollment increase the likelihood of earning a degree. Academic momentum encompasses both a student's trajectory and rate of progress toward a tangible academic outcome with a core assumption that momentum…

This study answers two research questions: (1) How do 12- and 13-year-old students respond to metacognitive questions posed during a complex task in mathematics or in science and (2) Do these responses differ by discipline? Content analysis was applied to responses collected from 92 students from a French-speaking Belgian school. The results…

Acquiring mathematical literacy requires students to apply mathematics in various real-world contexts. However, mathematics classes often provide brief, content-focused descriptions of reality-based tasks and tasks that describe the situation as more complex, closer to reality, are still lacking. Students with different sociodemographic…

Online one-on-one tutoring serves as a supplementary approach to traditional classroom instruction. It has been shown to enhance personalized learning and academic performance. However, the dynamics of dialogic interactions within this educational setting are not fully understood. Thus, we present a computational analysis of dialogic interactions…

This study compares the effects of student-centred teaching methods, teacher-centred methods, and teacher-student interactive methods on students' mathematics academic achievement. For this purpose, calculus, compound interest, annuities, and depreciation topics were taught to first-year college students in three different groups: traditional…

This study aims to identify the harmful values experienced by secondary school mathematics teachers in classrooms with gifted students. The participants in the study, which was designed as an interpretative phenomenological design, were two secondary school mathematics teachers. The participants selected using purposive sampling had teaching…

We report on the differences in mathematics learning environments in classes taught by certified Elementary Math Specialists (EMSs) (n = 28) and their peers (n = 33) as determined by observations of instruction. We used path analysis to examine how variables such as mathematical knowledge for teaching, beliefs, and background characteristics were…

Fraction knowledge is an essential building block for successful completion of advanced mathematics courses and linked to the development of algebraic understanding. Many students, especially those with disabilities, experience significant difficulties developing fraction knowledge. Intensive fraction interventions have been shown to be effective…

This study's purpose was to analyse the relationship between geometric thinking skills with self-regulated learning and with students' basic geometry skills. Furthermore, analyze student errors in solving geometry problems based on their self-regulated learning to determine the optimal geometry learning environment for geometry thinking skills.…

In the current technology-driven era, digital game-based learning (DGBL) has emerged as a practical approach for enhancing mathematics achievement among young students. It is believed that digital drill-and-practice educational games can replace traditional pen-and-paper drills in mathematics education and have a better influence on incorporating…

Studying and solving geometry questions are the most challenging parts of mathematics for visually impaired students (VIS). This study begins with the needs assessment to identify the needs of VIS, which shows that technology-assisted effective teaching and learning are not available for VIS to learn geometry. Therefore, this study focuses on…

College calculus plays an important role in STEM students' degree and career aspirations. One of the key factors considered in assessing a student's ability to be successful in calculus is their proficiency in topics from prior mathematics courses such as algebra and precalculus. This study set out to examine the impact of students' precalculus…

Caregiver involvement in homework is a key contributor to student success, yet its interaction with intelligent tutoring systems remains underexamined. To address this gap, we conducted a technology probe study exploring how a conversational support tool might enhance caregiver assistance during remote math homework within tutoring systems.…

Mathematics plays many roles in physics and physics education. While these roles have previously been extensively discussed in the physics education research community, no systematic picture of the multifaceted considerations has yet been formed. To gain a comprehensive overview of the previous studies on the topic, we conducted a systematic…

This conceptual paper explores the pedagogical tension and potential synergy between teacher-centred and student-centred instructional approaches, particularly within the context of teaching abstract concepts in science and mathematics such as quantum mechanics and calculus. Grounded in the theoretical frameworks of essentialism and…
