This qualitative study aimed to identify the changes in a prospective' conceptions about the nature of mathematical tasks and pedagogy in video cases and to investigate the characteristics of the prospective' professional knowledge and views during task design/modification. The study used the mathematical task demand engagement process, which…

This paper describes and analyzes three cases to show the impact that curiosity-driven (CD) discourse based on self-video can have on the professional awareness and noticing skills of mathematics teachers and instructors of mathematics teachers. The findings indicate that CD discourse raises awareness of heretofore unnoticed events in the lesson,…

Increasing number of studies have revealed that teachers' math anxiety is related to the use of less effective pedagogical practices, which can lead to reduced math achievement among elementary school students. Children's math experience begins before formal schooling. However, there is limited information about the effect of preschool teachers'…

In this article, we present a framework of culturally relevant science and mathematics pedagogy (CRSMP), which is grounded in the tenets of culturally relevant pedagogy. It delineates practices ranging from the most accessible and easy-to-implement, to the most challenging and often contentious ways to teach mathematics and science. We provide…

As has been the case in many countries around the world, the new Norwegian curriculum from 2020 included programming as part of mathematics education. However, little is known about how prospective teachers perceive this addition in regard to their developing professional identities. When the results from an electronic survey of 394 prospective…

The interrogation of often unintended practices of marginalisation has gained focus in research on mathematics teaching and mathematics teacher education throughout the last decades. In this introductory survey paper, work against marginalisation in these contexts of mathematics education is viewed in terms of work towards equity, diversity and…

Research in mathematics education has placed significant emphasis on teacher identity, particularly during teacher education, since it plays a critical role in shaping the identity of preservice teachers with regard to teaching mathematics. However, as teacher identity is context dependent, it is essential to study preservice teachers' identities…

Catering for the mathematical needs of disabled learners equitably and productively requires the anti-ableist preparation and professional development of teachers. In CAPTeaM (Challenging Ableist Perspectives on the Teaching of Mathematics), we design tasks that emulate inclusion-related challenges from the mathematics classroom, and we engage…

Undergraduate students' understanding of function continuity has not been explored broadly in previous research. The relevant findings in the literature are predominantly concerned with calculus students' understanding and misconceptions of continuity. Many of these misunderstandings are tied to the relationships which continuity has with limits…

Numerous countries, including Indonesia, have integrated their cultural heritage into various aspects of society, notably in the realm of traditional textiles. With its diverse cultural landscape, Indonesia showcases detailed and comprehensive characteristics in its traditional fabrics, particularly the South Sumatra Songket. Popular cultural…

This multiple case study dissertation aimed to examine one of the domains of pedagogical content knowledge, knowledge of content and students, between different types of elementary coaches and between coach and their respective collaborating teachers. It also investigated the impact a coaches' background experiences have on the dynamic between…

Mathematics is the language and foundation for the science, engineering, and technological fields that define and enhance our lives in the 21st century. Proficiency in math requires problem solving, logical reasoning, and critical thinking skills that are essential to success in college, the workplace, and everyday life. Unfortunately, math has…

Calculus has long been known as a "gateway course" to STEM fields in postsecondary education. To moderate this gatekeeping effect, Montclair State University researchers developed a peer-led, inquiry-based instructional support (IBIS) to run parallel to Calculus classes. The design of the IBIS model was informed by an instructional…

A growing body of evidence promotes guided play as an optimal approach for supporting children's early mathematical ability (Skene et al., 2022), a skill that is essential for future learning (Duncan et al., 2007). While these experimental studies promote guided play for early mathematics (Fisher et al., 2013), classroom-based research identifies…

In a broad analysis of a large, diverse sample of students, we found robust support for the groundbreaking assertion that student learning rates in various educational technologies are "astonishingly" similar (Koedinger, Carvalho, Liu, & McLaughlin, 2023, "An astonishing regularity in student learning rate," Proceedings of…
