Learning progressions can reflect students' continuous in-depth thinking development paths, and their establishment is an iterative process from the construction of hypothetical learning progressions to the verification of that hypotheses. Considering the limitations of the existing verification method of learning progressions based on a rule…

We address two of the challenges that were recently raised in APJTE editorial. The editorial aimed to encourage the APJTE research community, and the field of teacher education broadly, to engage in research, in which a complex view of teaching is assumed, explored, and proactively supported. We offer a perspective on the standing of two of the…

This study aims to explore the notion of the density of the set of rational numbers in the set of real numbers, as interpreted by undergraduate mathematics students. The data comprise 95 responses to a scripting task, in which participants were asked to extend a hypothetical dialog between two student characters, who argue about the existence of…

Children are active and creative mathematical learners in the early years. This article reports part of a Teacher-led Innovation Fund (TLIF) project that investigated children's mathematical activity at an early childhood centre and the first year of school. Teacher-researchers were from each site, and mathematical opportunities were identified in…

In this position paper, we propose commognition for the study of proof teaching at university lectures through an integrative literature review. We critically examine studies that focused on proof teaching but did not use the commognitive framework. Through this examination, we gain an understanding of the pedagogical aspects of proof teaching and…

In this article, we discuss the process of understanding continuity, which is one of the most fundamental concepts in mathematics. The continuity of mathematical functions is formally defined in terms of abstract symbols and operations. This representation of continuity is very abstract or dis-embodied. Therefore, it is difficult to acquire a…

The objective of this research is to consider the possible relationship between academic performance and university students' beliefs about Mathematics, particularly in the subject of Integral Calculus. The methodology employed is quantitative, descriptive and correlational, based on a non-experimental design. The instrument used for the…

For students to be successful in future mathematics classes, mathematics teachers must be able to help students decipher content in Algebra I, the foundation of higher mathematics. Research on vocabulary in the math classroom shows there are multiple ways to represent vocabulary and reading comprehension. The research question, which focused on…

Through a constructivist lens, this dissertation research (a case study) examines the problem of how elementary teachers' MKT might be related to their ways of implementing and adapting mathematical tasks to promote students' construction of multiplicative reasoning. In particular, this study addresses the following four research questions: 1.…

This action research aimed to assess the impact of online homework, delivered via IXL, on thirteen 8th Grade Mathematics students' mathematical proficiency and explored their perceptions of its usefulness. The Cedar Hill Middle School students typically scored below state and national averages in mathematics, necessitating increased rigor and…

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Realistic Mathematics Education Strategies Mobile App (REMSAM) on the mathematical problem solving performance of students with learning disabilities (LD). The participants of this study consisted of five children (three girls, two boys) with LD. The study was carried out based on a…

Many students who take a mathematics course as part of their post-secondary education are not enrolled in a mathematically-intensive degree program. This poses a challenge to mathematics departments that, for example, value and privilege more traditional mathematics curriculum: should students in such courses be taught differently than those in…

This study was performed to determine preservice elementary mathematics teachers' solution performance of systems of linear equations using geometric representation, algebraic representation and transition from geometric representation to the algebraic representation and the predictive role of preservice elementary mathematics teachers'…

In designing an intelligent tutoring system, a core area of the application of AI in education, tips from the system or virtual tutors are crucial in helping students solve difficult questions in disciplines like mathematics. Traditionally, the manual design of general tips by teachers is time-consuming and error-prone. Generative AI, like…

Research during COVID-19 has shown that rapid transition to distance learning environment has influenced student's emotions. Yet, there is a lack of studies about how this transition might have changed achievement emotions in mathematics. We investigated six mathematics-related achievement emotions (enjoyment, pride, anger, anxiety, shame, and…
