This study aims to examine the moderating role of math anxiety in the effect of the attitude towards school on the students' happiness. In the semester of 2021-2022, 415 students at the 8th grade of secondary schools, participated in the study. In this study a correlational survey model was employed. "Scale for Attitude Towards School",…

This quantitative descriptive study aims to identify the intervention strategies used in Alabama's public high schools and obtain the school principals' perceived effectiveness of math intervention strategies to help students perform at high levels on the math portion of the ACT. The research team sent a survey to 316 Alabama public high school…

In this participatory action research (PAR) study, I sought to understand how teachers implemented equitable and culturally responsive academic discourse to support African American students during mathematics instruction. Working with a group of teachers in a co-practitioner researcher (CPR) group, I examined to how teachers effectively planned…

Teacher educators, policy makers, and school administrators have long been concerned with new teachers' initial preparedness to teach. However, how to conceptualize and to validly measure teacher preparedness and the extent to which it is predictive of teacher retention are not entirely clear. This longitudinal study draws on data on hundreds of…

Corequisite developmental mathematics is an instructional model designed to support underprepared college students in completing their gateway math requirements. A transition to this model typically requires changes in pedagogy and a commitment to the integration of learning support with course content and instruction. This research garnered input…

Teachers naturally engage in the act of 'noticing' as part of their daily practice. This specialised form of noticing, referred to as 'teacher noticing', involves a deliberate focus on specific aspects within the mathematics classroom. The author's PhD research has investigated how the events teachers notice and respond to online in Emergency…

One of the most significant barriers to changing instructional practices is teachers' mindsets and beliefs about teaching and learning mathematics. This study identifies a promising new type of video club professional development that supports teachers in examining their instructional practices and mindsets. This form of professional learning is…

This paper aims at using a Use-Modify-Create approach to explore students' mathematical problem solving by means of computational thinking (CT) and programming activities. The data collection method is participant observation, in which the researcher also has the role as teacher, guiding the group activities. In our study, two groups of students…

The design principles of cognitive load theory and learning by analogy has independently contributed to our understanding why an instruction will or will not work. In an experimental study involving 97 Year 9 Australian students conducted in regular classrooms, we evaluated the effect of the unguided problem-solving approach, worked examples…

The act of making provides students with an opportunity to create and design by using materials and technologies. Scholars who examine learning through making maintain that maker approaches to solving problems, creating designs, and thinking about real-world ideas promote the development of abstract thinking skills, such as modeling, and…

Failure to deduce false suppositions in proof by contradiction is still considered "more difficult" than proving the conditional ?? to ?? in proof by contraposition. This study aims to identify the types of proof construction failures based on the action steps of proof by contradiction, then offer a framework of construction failure…

Authors of calculus texts often include graphs in the text with the intent that the graph depicts relationships described in theorems and formulas. Similarly, graphs are often utilized in classroom lectures and discussions for the same purpose. The author or instructor includes function graphs to represent quantitative relationships and how a pair…

While in traditional mathematics teaching methods, it is possible to prove concepts while teaching geometry and to reach generalizations that require more complex definitions by using concept findings, while in today's geometry teaching, learning that activates the student's discovery process gains importance. In this context, the aim of this…

Spatial ability is frequently encountered in professional disciplines and daily life. In general, it includes abilities such as rotating objects, estimating the appearance of objects based on a person's position, and being able to think of open and closed forms of three-dimensional objects. It is essential in learning and teaching geometry. In…
