Given the ongoing development of computer-based tasks, there has been increasing interest in modelling students' behaviour indicators from log file data with contextual variables collected via questionnaires. In this work, we apply a latent regression model to analyse the relationship between latent constructs (i.e., performance, speed, and…

In this research study, we detail how Digital Mathematics Storytelling, in which youth create video stories detailing the mathematics knowledge existing within their families and communities, can actively create counter-stories to the model minority myth. Through intergenerational video storytelling in historic Asian American communities, the…

This article deals with what it means to possess competence in mathematics. It takes its point of departure in the fact that the notions of mathematical competence and mathematical competencies have gained a foothold as well as momentum in mathematics education research, development and practice throughout the last two decades. The Danish…

In combinatorics, combinatorial notation, e.g., C(n, r), is explicitly defined as a numerical value, a cardinality. Yet, we do not use another symbol to signify the set of outcomes--the collection of objects being referenced, whose cardinality is, for example, C(n, r). For an expert, this duality in notation, of signifying both cardinality and…

This paper examines the long-term consequences of tracking in middle school. Using longitudinal administrative data from a large, urban school district and regression and quasi-experimental matching methods, we find that students who had the opportunity to take advanced math earned higher math test scores, completed more rigorous high school…

Trigonometry is an important part of secondary school mathematics, but it is usually challenging for students to understand and learn. Since trigonometry is learned and used at a university level in many fields, like physics or geodesy, it is important to have an insight into students' trigonometry knowledge before the beginning of the university…

Background: Previous research has shown that students often struggle to understand algebraic expressions and solve equations, and that traditional instructional approaches may not be sufficient to address these challenges. While the use of technology and physical manipulatives independently has been shown to support students' conceptual…

Individuals who are American Indian and Alaskan Native (AI/AN) are less likely to enroll in and complete post-high school educational programs and to enter STEM careers than White students. Completion of math courses is a common barrier to academic persistence for many students, including students who are AI/AN. This qualitative study interviewed…

Educational institutions around the world have been integrating AI into their educational practices. Many studies and reports highlight both the advantages and disadvantages of this integration. This paper focuses on the positive aspects of AI in education, specifically through the lens of a high school geometry project at a technology-focused…

This study explores the challenges of implementing computerized adaptive testing (CAT) for mathematics assessment among prospective elementary school teachers in Indonesia. It aims to describe (1) assessment practices of mathematics lecturers and (2) challenges in adopting CAT. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected…

This brief examines how current mathematics instruction often fails to meet the needs of multilingual students, particularly English Learners. With over 2.2 million English Learners in grades 6-12 and persistent achievement gaps in mathematics, this brief calls for a shift: treating language development not as a prerequisite for learning math, but…

Introduction: Participation and success in high school mathematics classes significantly affect students' future pursuits in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Method: The survey instrument, administered through Qualtrics, gathered data from itinerant teachers of students with visual impairments across the United States. The…

Statistics anxiety is a reality among many students that may affect their academic and professional lives. Although there are instructional strategies proven to demonstrate advanced statistical concepts, a method to mitigate statistics anxiety in introductory courses is lacking. This research examines the effectiveness of three interventions used…

Math anxiety is a debilitating problem that affects many community college students. Neuropsychological research suggests that negative rumination when anticipating math situations substantially exhausts working memory load, contributes to execution anxiety, which interferes with learning and performance. Studies have shown that improving the…

Prospective and practicing elementary teachers have historically demonstrated anxiety about mathematics, which can affect their mathematics teaching and their students' math anxiety. Yet, developing productive dispositions prior to teacher preparation programs is rarely addressed in the research. We propose mindset messaging in mathematics courses…
