With feedback gathered from townhall meetings at the start of 2025, Kentucky's education leaders are revising the state's assessment and accountability framework to give districts more choice in how they assess student mastery of content and skills and to give their communities full rein to design local school accountability systems tied to their…

This research aimed to: 1) develop a model for enhancing the professional noticing skills of mathematics student teachers grounded in the concept of a professional learning community; and 2) cultivate the professional noticing skills of mathematics student teachers through the implementation of this developed model. The target group for this study…

In this article, we examine how elementary classroom teachers who are pursuing their Elementary Mathematics Specialist certification--who we refer to as Elementary Mathematics Specialists in Training (EMSTs)--are positioned in their advice and information networks for mathematics. Analyzing the advice networks of six elementary schools in one…

Despite the evidence of its effectiveness on student learning, ambitious mathematics instruction has proven to be challenging for teachers to enact. Increasingly, instructional coaching programs have become a way of providing intensive one-on-one support to teachers to improve the quality of mathematics instruction. Researchers have identified…

This classroom-based action research investigates the impact of teaching problem-solving heuristics on preservice teachers' mathematical creativity, self-efficacy, and problem-solving beliefs. The study was conducted with seven preservice teachers at a state university in the Philippines, using a Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle. Participants were…

This study explored the contemporary trends and groundbreaking educational innovations to redefine quality learning practices in mathematics education. This employed a scoping review to systematically examine and integrate existing research on contemporary trends and educational innovations in mathematics education. Findings revealed two (2) main…

This study explores the relationship between approaches to learning and self-regulation of learning. Approaches to learning characterise students' intentions and strategies regarding learning and studying, divided into deep and surface approaches together with organised studying. Self-regulation of learning is a process of monitoring and directing…

Effective feedback is essential for refining instructional practices in mathematics education, and researchers often turn to advanced natural language processing (NLP) models to analyze classroom dialogues from multiple perspectives. However, utterance-level discourse analysis encounters two primary challenges: (1) multifunctionality, where a…

Initial algebra is a critical stage in the teaching of algebra and occurs when students are transitioning from arithmetic to algebra. Irish mathematics education at post-primary level has undergone a period of major reform beginning in 2010, which encompassed a radical change in the methods for teaching algebra. Despite this reform evidence…

Although extensive research has explored the antecedents of academic procrastination, the role of self-regulatory traits, such as grit, has received comparatively less attention. Additionally, the classroom environment and self-regulatory traits may have joint effects on academic procrastination, but this question has not been adequately…

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and its accessibility to almost everyone necessitate a clear definition of its role in education. The primary step in effectively integrating AI into mathematics education (ME) is formulating instructional strategies that consider its advantages and disadvantages. This study aims to develop…

This meta-analysis examines the impact of technology in statistics learning, comparing experimental and control groups across 34 studies, resulting in 55 effect sizes. The random effects model revealed a significant standardized mean difference (gRE = 0.50, 95% CI [0.35, 0.64], p < 0.01), indicating a positive effect of using technology in…

The increasing use of complex machine learning models in education has led to concerns about their interpretability, which in turn has spurred interest in developing explainability techniques that are both faithful to the model's inner workings and intelligible to human end-users. In this paper, we describe a novel approach to creating a…

Several studies on student's understanding of the concept of the tangent line agree that the difficulties students have when dealing with lines tangent to curves at inflection points or tangent lines that have more than one point in common with the curve are due to a misconception of tangency that is limited to the geometric relationship between…

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…
