As community colleges embark upon this new phase of the technological era, there exists a larger need to understand how math eLearners engage in their courses with their instructors and fellow students. Community colleges invest in several technologies and resources to engage their learners in their math eLearning courses, yet little research has…

The study's purpose was to determine if a correlation existed between (a) teacher perception scores of the Expeditionary Learning language arts (EL-ELA) curriculum and teachers' Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System (TVAAS) scores, and (b) teacher perception scores of the Eureka Math curriculum and teachers' TVAAS scores. The researcher also…

In this article, we will describe the embedded case study of the European project "E-Magic" carried out within the Erasmus+ project and which involved 12-16 years old students and teachers from three nations: "Acharnes Special Education Vocational School" in Athens (Greece), IIS "L. Da VinciNitti", a high school in…

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the problems encountered in the process of realizing the continuity of preschool and primary school mathematics education and to determine the use of technology in mathematics education in line with the opinions of teachers. The research is a phenomenological study within the scope of qualitative…

This paper is a part of a broader study which aims to investigate mathematics teacher candidates' mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) by using the Turkish translated versions of TEDS-M (Teacher Education and Development Study in Mathematics) Primary and Secondary Released Items. The sample of the study comprised freshman (first year) and…

Historically, college students who require remediation in mathematics have been placed into developmental mathematics courses. Accurate placement is important for student success; inaccurate placement in a low-level course could lengthen a students' time to degree completion. Placement policies have tended to focus on a high-stakes placement test,…

Many teacher activists engage in justice-oriented work within and outside their classrooms, yet the work of mathematics teacher activists has been understudied. In this qualitative interview study, I investigated ten women of Color mathematics teacher activists' actualization of their organizing work, which includes the creation of and…

Out-of-field teaching refers to the practice of assigning teachers to teach subjects that do not match their training or education. This paper reports on a study evaluating the impact of a national professional development programme for out-of-field teachers of post-primary school mathematics in Ireland -- the Professional Diploma in Mathematics…

This paper targets patterns of expressed emotional directions towards mathematics. By using TIMSS data and recoding two of the instruments, we compared responses from the same student cohort in Grade 4 (11 years old) and Grade 8 (15 years old) in Sweden. Two hypotheses were tested: negative emotions including negative motivations increase with…

The Study of Educational Equity in Hawai?i (SEE-HI) explores the relationships between quality and equity variables, focusing on access to licensed mathematics teaching, learning environment, school climate, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, geographic location, math proficiency, and college enrollment in Hawai?i's public schools. Research…

We explore the impact of the language of instruction on academic performance of Arabic-speaking students who are expected to learn mathematics and science in and through a second language (L2). Using as a theoretical background Cummins's (1984) framework relating language proficiency to academic achievement, we provide some insights into the…

The purpose of this study is to analyse the effects of the Interactive Learning Materials Triangle (iLMT) on the learning and knowledge retention of 12-year-old students. The iLMT is a digital version of the standard school learning materials in Serbia, and is characterized by a high degree of interactivity and immediate feedback during the…

In this article, we describe the case of "Keri," a fifth-grade teacher who had completed an Elementary Mathematics Specialist (EMS) certification program. Drawn from a larger study investigating the knowledge, beliefs, and practices of EMSs, Keri's case was unique in that she was teaching mathematics to four classes in a departmentalized…

Storytelling is an important method for removing obstacles to learning mathematics and making lessons understandable. This research aims to analyze primary school teachers' stories written to teach students concepts of problem solving, fluency, reasoning, and understanding skills. The study is a qualitative case study and the participants were 25…

Of the many disciplines that rely on calculus, physics is among those with the strongest connections to this branch of mathematics. For instance, the derivative--one of the key notions of calculus--is used to describe velocity and acceleration, which play a central role in mechanics. In post-secondary education, in particular at the college level,…
