Considering its relationships with real life and mathematics, mathematical modeling is one of the most effective ways of learning and teaching mathematics. In this study, the effect of teaching with mathematical modeling on students' mathematics achievement was examined using the meta-analysis method. An effect size of 51 was achieved with 45…

With the rapid evolution of online learning, driven by technological advancements and the global transition to distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for effective instructional design models has become increasingly critical. This study conducted a systematic mapping analysis of instructional design models tailored for online…

This paper is based on a study conducted ten years ago at one university in Japan aiming at collaborative development through reflection among a teacher educator, two in-service teachers, and four pre-service graduate students. Collaborative reflection involved methods, such as the graduate students' observation of the in-service teachers' English…

Despite the increasing availability of data used to inform educational policies and practices, concerns persist regarding its quality and accessibility. This study surveys quality education data from Brazil, Colombia, and Peru and evaluates their alignment with the FAIR principles and availability to support academic analytics (AA) and learning…

In fall 2019, I had the pleasure of conducting research with my daughter's prekindergarten class. While the research was initially meant to explore the ways the class as a whole responded to and engaged with West African picturebooks and artifacts, it became clear over the course of my three classroom visits that my daughter's responses were…

As the number of students with autism enrolled in general education increases, there remains a need to support their academic achievement. While much of the existing literature presents the ways that teachers can support the social, emotional or sensory needs of students with autism, research into the academic supports for school-aged students…

In the current study, academic research on the application of digital tools in math education was analyzed via bibliometric analysis methods and general trends, structural evolution, and thematic concerns in the subject under analysis. Using the keyword term 'application of digital tools in math education' from the Web of Science database, 486…

The present study is the first systematic review of instructional coaching components, methodologies, and outcomes reported in experimental and quasi-experimental group design studies examining the impact of coaching for school personnel supporting elementary-grade students with reading difficulties. Published and unpublished investigations (n =…

This paper aims to review and conceptualize how researchers with different human interests understand and approach self-regulated learning (SRL) for their specific purposes. In this narrative literature review, three paradigms of inquiry into SRL guided by Habermas's three human interests (i.e., technical interests, practical interests, and…

Opportunities to closely monitor and evaluate students' mathematical thinking enables accurate interpretations of their conceptual understanding. This methodological paper reports on a novel and versatile analysis approach to extract student thinking during mathematical games through the generation of Dynamic Learning Artefacts (DLAs).…

Nathalie Sinclair's MERGA 2024 keynote challenged us to communicate video data in ways that provide the reader with a more holistic and embodied experience of the data. In this methodological position paper, we take up this challenge. Through video analysis of a pre-school child and her mother engaging about counting in threes (prompted by the…
