The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 forced many schools to deliver remote and/or online instruction, at least intermittently, to all students, including those with learning disabilities (LD; Grant, 2020). The move to remote (i.e., education provided not in the physical classroom or school) or virtual (i.e., learning facilitated by digital tools)…

This study aimed to explore the effects of Mastery Learning Strategy (MLS) on senior school students' performance in Mathematics in Osogbo, Nigeria. The quasi-experimental study's goals were to investigate how MLS affected mathematics students' performance according to their gender and score levels. A purposive sampling technique was used to…

The research investigated the "Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge" (TPACK) of pre-service mathematics teachers and its impact on their sustained intention to utilize GeoGebra in teaching mathematics. This study introduced a novel research model by extending the "Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology"…

The gender-sensitive analysis of influencing factors on mathematical performance of primary school pupils can yield valuable insights into facilitating this vital phase of pupils' educational trajectory. We view gender-sensitive mathematical performance in primary school based on works of Niklas (Psychologie in Erziehung und Unterricht, 62, 106,…

The purpose of the transcendental phenomenological study was to discover the role of adaptive learning programs in closing the learning gaps in mathematics for secondary students in Georgia following the COVID-19 pandemic. The theory guiding this study was that of Bandura's theory on self-efficacy, as it highlights how an individual's experience…

This study used a mixed methods approach to examine student access and achievement differences based on the students' 7th-grade mathematics class placement. Additionally, this study investigated the difference between teachers' perceptions and pedagogical decisions based on their students' placement levels. Finally, this study asked for teacher…

Recent studies have shown that mathematical vocabulary is an important predictor for mathematical performance in kindergartners, primary school students, and secondary school students (e.g., King & Purpura, 2021; Peng & Lin, 2019; Ünal et al., 2021). However, a recent meta-analysis showed that mathematical vocabulary might be more…

Whilst educational goals in recent years for mathematics education are foregrounded the development of mathematical competencies, little is known about mathematics teachers' competencies. In this study, a group of practising teachers were asked to solve an algebra problem, and their solutions were analysed to determine the competencies apparent…

The study investigated how blended learning affected secondary school students' achievement and retention in mathematics. The study used a non-equivalent control group pre-test-post-test quasi-experimental design. The participants in the study were learners drawn from two secondary schools purposively chosen. Using a simple random sampling…

This pilot study examined the feasibility of using worked examples as a mechanism to improve verbal explanations of fractions concepts among Grade 5 students with mathematics difficulties in a small-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) before scaling up to a large-scale RCT. Students (N = 49) were randomly assigned to a business-as-usual (BAU)…

The current study assessed reliability and validity evidence of the shortened Swedish Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale--Elementary (MARS-E), using data from three time points. After initial pilot tests, a total of 429 students participated in the study, completing the MARS-E twice during grade 4 and once during grade 5. Confirmatory factor…

Special tasks for pre-service teachers (PSTs) in university mathematics courses ("interface tasks") are a common innovation in recent years to overcome the second discontinuity. By this, we mean tasks that are situated by typical everyday challenges of mathematics teaching and in which PSTs must use their mathematical knowledge and…

The purpose of this qualitative research study is to understand the process used for teacher-created online math assessments and the effect that online math assessments have on student engagement. Data for this qualitative study was collected and analyzed using Braun and Clarke's (2006) thematic analysis which uses key conceptual foundations in a…

Success in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields is often believed to require intellectual talent ("brilliance"). Given that many cultures associate men more than women with brilliance, this belief poses an obstacle to women's STEM pursuits. Here, we investigated the developmental roots of this phenomenon,…

With the development of increasingly sophisticated technology, educators must have an appropriate learning model in teaching. On the other hand, a country's obligation is to provide facilities and support teachers in developing their competencies. Currently in Indonesia, there is minimal use of 4C skills teaching. Forms of support should be given…
