Digital literacy is a 21st century requirement and its importance is increasing day by day. In this article, it was aimed to evaluate the development of digital literacy skills of mathematics teachers and prospective teachers through Technology Assisted Education (TAE). In addition, the opinions of the teachers about the training were also…

Many recently added studies concerning reforms on teaching Early Mathematics were taken into consideration by different countries all over the world. The rhetoric that has accompanied such reforms has often justified them in terms of the need to produce citizens who are better able to cope with the demands of the twenty-first century. As an area…

This design-based research project explored how various design features of AR-based learning environments (ARLE) influence students' mathematics self-efficacy and learning of kinematics. Specifically, five ARLEs with different design features were developed and implemented with 136 seventh-grade students in two rounds. Data were gathered from pre-…

This mini-ethnographic study investigated the role of the student-teaching experience on removing student teachers' math anxiety. Data were collected from four elementary student teachers using semi-structured individual and group interviews during the second phase of their student-teaching period. Thematic content analysis was used to analyze…

The use of technology and tools that enable the automation of personalized learning systems has become increasingly relevant and has attracted substantial attention in the field of research. Under this premise, the present study examines the potential of using personalized instructional sequences with activities in the Moodle learning management…

The purpose of this study is to reveal the effect of writing scenarios for solved mathematical operations on students' higher-order thinking skills in mathematics lessons. Explanatory mixed-methods design was employed throughout the research process, collecting first the quantitative data and then the qualitative data set. The study group…

Background: Empirical studies have revealed students' development of computational thinking (CT) and mathematical thinking (MT) during programming-based mathematical problem-solving, highlighting specific CT concepts or practices that serve as learning goals or outcomes. However, implementing programming-based mathematics instruction requires…

Background/purpose: This study examines whether Universal Design for Learning (UDL), based on the VARK model, can aid struggling students in mathematics in developing their statistical thinking skills. Additionally, the proposed study examines the relationship between learning preferences and the effect of these preferences on performance.…

Higher education increasingly relies on remedial coursework to bridge knowledge gaps among incoming students (Chen, 2016). Students assessed as below college level enroll in remediation to review secondary concepts, especially in mathematics (Kane et al., 2020). However, pressures over funding, student persistence, and completion rates exacerbate…

Prior work has developed a range of automated measures ("detectors") of student self-regulation and engagement from student log data. These measures have been successfully used to make discoveries about student learning. Here, we extend this line of research to an underexplored aspect of self-regulation: students' decisions about when to…

In this article, we describe the theoretical and pragmatic considerations behind our development of a set of nine protocols and training materials for engaging prospective secondary mathematics teachers in live, interactive clinical simulations. Our designs are grounded in theoretical principles from situated cognition and variation theory and…

Teacher quality and experience are strong predictors of student achievement. As high school Algebra I disproportionately enrolls academically at-risk students, who are the most sensitive to variations in teacher quality, it is particularly important for experienced, high-quality teachers to teach these courses. However, micropolitics theory…

This essay extends beyond the characteristics and discourse of word problems to, more generally, school mathematical problem-solving and the implications entailed by a predominant paper-and-pencil mode of learning and instruction since the modern era of education. Contrasting what I call "one-handed" (with paper-and-pencil) with…

With the number of students classified as Dual Language Learners (DLLs) in U.S. schools consistently increasing, it is important for educators to consider academic interventions that include evidence-based practices to support DLLs. Specifically in the field of mathematics, several strategies have been recommended to support DLLs' mathematical…

Math learning in early childhood is critical for later success, as it is predictive of mathematical and academic achievement through adolescence. Therefore, developing engaging and effective methods for early math instruction are important. Math games are a common method for teaching math in a way that is motivating and engaging for young children…
