Researchers agree that both domain-general skills and domain-specific skills contribute to mathematics knowledge, but questions arise as to which skills can and should be trained to improve children's learning outcomes. In this article, we synthesize research on training three domain-general constructs in early childhood (patterning skills,…

Co-teaching is described as the pairing of a general education teacher and a special education teacher in the general education classroom for the shared instruction of students with and without disabilities. Many teachers struggle to form unified partnerships, especially in mathematics classrooms. The MathMATES project was developed to address a…

The results of total testing from the years 2015-2022 on the mathematical and verbal achievement of Lithuanian pupils (N [approximately equal to] 250,000) are presented. These are the standardised tests from grades 4 to 12. The K-Means method has discovered six types of achievement. The highest achievement type is dominated by girls (61.1%) who…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of preservice teachers' identity on TPACK regarding the mediating roles of mathematics teaching competency, teacher belief, and technostress across grade levels. A total of 926 preservice mathematics teachers participated in the study. We used structural equation modeling to determine and…

Teachers, examiners and assessment experts know from experience that some candidates annotate exam questions. "Annotation" includes anything the candidate writes or draws outside of the designated response space, such as underlining, jotting, circling, sketching and calculating. Annotations are of interest because they may evidence…

The aim of this study is to show how the GeoGebra software-supported collaborative learning environment contributes to a group of students using multiple representations and reaching generalisations while solving problems collectively. Blending individual and collaborative learning activities were carried out with a learning method called ACODESA…

This study investigates the impact of GeoGebra, a dynamic, accessible, and easy-to-use mathematics software, on student confidence and perceptions of its helpfulness in the context of Calculus III courses. A quasi-experimental design was employed to compare four sections of Calculus III, with two sections integrating GeoGebra for in-class…

This study explores the task-specific self-efficacy of 1815 Chinese fourth graders and 1767 eighth graders as well as its relationship to their problem-posing performance and the moderating effect of grit on this relationship. the linear regression model, generalised additive model (GAM) and continuous threshold regression model (CTRM) were used.…

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-…

The subjective task value (STV) aspect of Expectancy-Value Theory has recently gained significance in achievement motivation research. It posits that students are motivated to engage in a particular task due to its intrinsic value, attainment value, utility value, and perceived cost. More recently, these components have been divided into more…

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 COVID-19 pandemic disrupted traditional learning in schools by abruptly transitioning to distance learning, prompting ongoing evaluation of its effects. This study extends previous research by incorporating additional data collected after two cohorts of students resumed in-person learning for multiple years. Northwest Evaluation Association…

TPACK development for prospective mathematics teacher students is a crucial aspect in preparing educators who are able to integrate technology effectively in the learning process. This study aims to examine the development of TPACK for prospective mathematics teacher students and the most effective form of TPACK development for prospective…

This study examines associations between enrollment in high-quality PreK and growth in children's (N = 422; M[subscript age] = 5.63 years; 47% female; 15% Asian, 19% Black, 30% White, 31% Hispanic; 5% other or mixed race) academic, executive functioning, and social-emotional skills across kindergarten (2017-2018) and first grade (2018-2019).…

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.…
