Background: Research on learners' reactions to failure finds negative emotions may present an obstacle for learning; a painful experience of failure may result in disengagement and avoidance. However, research on styles of emotion regulation and learning from failure is scarce. Self-determination theory's (SDT) conception of adaptive and…

Many countries have adopted integrative approaches to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. As preservice teachers with majors in mathematics and science are prospective targets for addressing the demand for STEM education, they are expected to develop professional identities as STEM teachers, in addition to…

The production and use of explicit models of mathematics are important elements of research in Didactics of Mathematics. In this paper, we present and compare two different European approaches to didactical modelling. The first, centred around the notion of basic idea (Grundvorstellung), arose in German-speaking countries as a development within…

This study aims to develop a mobile game using the QuizWhizzer application to improve fifth graders' learning interest in mathematics at Kalibata 04 Elementary School, South Jakarta, Indonesia. The contribution of this study is to enhance the interest in mathematics learning for students in all elementary schools in South Jakarta, Indonesia. This…

Proficiency in solving mathematical problems is essential for preservice elementary teachers, as they will teach foundational math concepts and foster problem-solving abilities among young learners. However, many studies found low problem-solving performance among preservice teachers. In line with this, the present study examined how…

Different types of reasoning, such as intuitive, inductive, and deductive, are used in the generalization of figural patterns, as an important part of patterns in school mathematics. It is difficult to demarcate the constructive patterns where the regularity observed in the first few sentences is generalizable to the other sentences and each…

Computational thinking (CT) is becoming increasingly important as a learning content. Subject-integrated approaches aim to develop CT within other subjects like mathematics. The question is how exactly CT can be integrated and learned in mathematics classrooms. In a case study involving 12 sixth-grade learners, CT activities were explored that…

The aim of the study was to investigate mathematics anxiety in autistic school-aged boys compared with non-autistic peers, by considering the distinction between trait and state components of mathematics anxiety. The study involved 110 boys aged between 8 and 16 years old: 50 autistic participants without intellectual disability and 60…

This study explores the effects of a computer algebra system on students' mathematical thinking. Mathematical thinking is identified with mathematical thinking powers and structures. We define mathematical thinking as students' capacity to specialize and generalize their previous knowledge to solve new mathematical problems. The study was…

This study was conducted to develop an instrument with good psychometric properties to measure primary school students' attitudes towards mathematics. For this purpose, the screening model was utilised in the research. The form was prepared in the form of a five-point Likert scale (Very Unhappy, Unhappy, Neither Happy nor Unhappy, Happy, Very…

This study reports high school Black girls' experiences in mathematics classrooms. Forty-eight Black girls participated in 12 focus groups. Findings showed that the girls experienced uncaring teachers, uninteresting curriculum, and unsupportive learning environments. We used a sociopolitical analytic approach to make sense of their narratives and…

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), along with several other national organizations, released a joint statement indicating how crucial incorporating data analysis into lessons is (NCTM et al., 2024). Mathematics and gardening may seem like incongruent ideas, but mathematics, specifically data analysis, infiltrates activities…

Online learning is one of the learning designs considered more efficient in terms of time, as it can be done anywhere and anytime. This study investigates two factors that may influence mathematics achievement in the context of online learning: self-regulated learning and self-efficacy. The researcher aimed to explain the relationships between…

The teaching and learning of mathematics in linguistically diverse contexts present unique challenges, particularly owing to the specialised language of mathematics, the intersection of everyday and mathematical language, the impact of the language of teaching and the communication aspects of the mathematical language. This study investigates the…

Critical race theory (CRT) continues to push a hot button within education. In higher education, these discussions often center 4-year colleges and universities, leaving community colleges out of the conversation. On top of that, developmental mathematics remains a racialized impediment for students from minoritized backgrounds. In this article,…
