Previous research has shown the importance of affect when seeking knowledge about students' achievements. However, there are surprisingly few studies looking at students' expressed effort on a longertime scale. Using data spanning over almost three decades, in this paper, we analyze Swedish lower secondary school students' responses to items in…

Using teaching representations is one of the common means for preparing pre-service mathematics teachers (PSTs) to learn how to teach mathematics meaningfully. However, turning PSTs' attention to the mathematical objects that students engage with during the lesson is a challenging pursuit. This paper suggests using the Realization Tree Mediator…

With a focus on related rates problems, the present study reports on quantitative and covariational reasoning opportunities provided by five widely used calculus textbooks in the United States. There are three major results from this study. First, quantitative reasoning opportunities are plentiful, while covariational reasoning opportunities are…

Writing-related activities have long been identified as supporting students' mathematics mastery and overall math success (Bahls, 2012). To further understand student experiences using writing in college math coursework, the present mixed-methods study explored the perceptions of a group of students (N = 55) in Multivariate Calculus who…

As online learning platforms become more popular and deeply integrated into education, understanding their effectiveness and what drives that effectiveness becomes increasingly important. While there is extensive prior research illustrating the benefits of intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) for student learning, there is comparatively less focus…

The National Learning Camp (NLC) serves as the national recovery program of the Philippine Department of Education (DepEd) using a camp-like learning experience. Hence, learning materials were distributed to the students, and teacher-student interaction was limited to forty-five minutes, insufficient to cover all required lessons. So, teacher-made…

Background: As highly interactive hands-on learning tools, robots can inspire new generations of mathematics students. However, to date, no comprehensive systematic reviews have been conducted on robot-assisted mathematics education from K-12 through higher education. Hence, it is important to explore the research evidence of robot-assisted…

Children are having fewer embodied social interactions outside (Haidt, 2024). Thus, there is a need to create embodied activities that turn students' attention to each other and nature (Barwell et al., 2022) and that build from their interests (Frankenstein & Powell, 2023). Using a socio-ecological framework that centers on relationships among…

This research was conducted to examine the views of preschool teachers regarding out-of-school learning environments for mathematics activities and their usage of these environments. The research was conducted out using a phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research methods. The study group consisted of 42 preschool teachers working in…

As online spaces for mathematics content and lesson plans become more accessible, teachers are exploring these websites to make decisions about instructional materials for their courses. These resources then have an impact on what is enacted in the classroom and what opportunities students have to learn mathematics. One of the most popular online…

Research has well documented the opportunities and benefits of connecting mathematics instruction with children's literature. One approach to achieving this is through stories that weave mathematical content into creative and engaging narratives. This paper examines the K-2 Mathical Book Prize winners and honorees as texts with significant…

Problem-solving is a key aspect of mathematics instruction. Although it is part of several national curricula, its implementation is still being vastly explored. The present research, which is part of a larger project, aimed to investigate the effect of using problem-oriented instruction in grade 3 of primary school on students' mathematical…

Mathematics curriculums worldwide are being refined to prepare students for the twenty-first century by focusing on developing students' higher-level thinking skills. As a result, teachers need to adjust their pedagogical approaches to enact new curriculums, which is frequently facilitated through continued professional development (CPD). During…

Background: Evaluating beliefs is essential, as the concept has a significant influence on mathematics learning in the classroom. Therefore, this research aimed to provide an instrument for assessing beliefs regarding mathematics teaching and learning. Methods: The survey consisted of 311 females and 96 males, totaling 407 respondents, and a…

Achieving proficiency in fundamental differential calculus concepts remains a persistent challenge for grade 12 students, raising concerns among mathematics teachers and policymakers. Despite the widely acknowledged applications of differential calculus across diverse disciplines, global examination diagnostic reports consistently highlight…
