The purpose of the present study was to examine the association between Chinese preschool children's home numeracy experiences and their mathematical abilities. The parents of 515 4- to 5-year-old preschool children reported their frequency of participation in home numeracy activities, and the children were assessed on their math ability. The…

The purpose of this study was to explore secondary mathematics teachers' perceptions of detracking including benefits, challenges, and needed support as well as their individual and collective efficacy beliefs for teaching in a detracked class. Shifting to heterogeneous and inclusive secondary mathematics classes is a significant shift from past…

This study was undertaken to systematically analyze instructional interventions employed to enhance the mathematical performance of elementary school students with math learning difficulties (MLD). Over 20 years (2003-2023), 34 articles that met the inclusion criteria were included in the analysis. The articles in the study were analyzed in terms…

Open tasks are mathematical problems "that promote mathematical reasoning and problem solving and allow multiple entry points and varied solution strategies" (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [NCTM], 2014, p. 17). Open tasks can have more than one right answer, solution, or outcome. Facilitation of open tasks offers learning…

The educationists and the statesmen of different eras have casted mathematics education in different forms, and it has swayed to and from the elites to the commoners several times. The vision of the educationists always took tolls on mathematics curriculum, which survived the maximum change during the past one century. Several unorganized or…

The Pirie-Kieren Model (PKM) was a paradigm shift in theories of learning by presenting a coherent, consistent theory compatible with complexity theory. PKM recognized that learning is non-linear, recursive, iterative, and emergent. PKM was one of the first theories to depart from the linear models of learning that dominated theories of learning…

This research contributes to the body of knowledge regarding mathematics anxiety, self-efficacy, and performance in mathematics. Specifically, this study analyzed these constructs as they pertain to undergraduate business students enrolled in entry-level, prerequisite mathematics courses. Information was collected via surveys utilizing the…

The current study aimed: (1) to analyse teachers' view profiles from positive to negative based on the analysis of influencing factors and (2) to investigate the most studied concepts and methods in this context. According to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines, we conducted a comprehensive review…

Mathematics self-efficacy (beliefs about oneself as a learner of mathematics) and mathematics teaching efficacy (beliefs about oneself as a mathematics teacher) are important constructs that influence pre-service teachers' (PTs') learning and teaching (Bandura 1986). However, less is known qualitatively about how PTs define good teaching and…

This study explored the lived experiences of eleven transfer students as they described their experiences in Calculus 2 at very high research land grant institutions (R1). This qualitative investigation focused on the psychological phenomenon of transition as the transfer students perceived, reflected, made sense, and understood their transition…

Refugee children face many difficulties on their migration routes. These challenges continue even after arriving in the destination country. It is important for the world's growing child migrant population to successfully adapt to the host country. Otherwise, there is a risk for future generations facing psychological, social, and academic…

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of an intervention utilizing modified schema-based instruction (MSBI) on the mathematical problem-solving ability of elementary school students with mild to moderate disabilities. Four participants were taught to solve percent of change word problems, which required them to calculate the…

This narrative inquiry study explored how emerging elementary educators perceived their understanding of mathematics learning and teaching as they became elementary educators. The study considered how past experiences influenced emerging educators' frames of reference as they began to teach elementary mathematics. Methods consisted of individual…

The problem explored is the literature gap concerning the constructed professional identities of high school mathematics teachers' impact on meeting the diverse needs of newcomers with limited English and limited content-specific knowledge. High school-age Students with Limited or Interrupted Formal Education (SLIFE) enter the United States…

Using mathematically unsound scales and inequitable grading practices has complicated the grading process for teachers and created educational barriers for students. This quantitative study compared the effect of the 100-point percentage and 4-point interval grading scale on Algebra 1 final grades. This study also investigated if there was a…
