This study attempts to identify preschool teachers' pedagogical content knowledge levels in mathematics and to examine its effect on preschool children's mathematics ability and their liking of mathematics. The study utilised the relational survey model, one of the general survey models. The working group was composed of 600 children aged 54-66…

The mathematical representation ability is essential in solving mathematical problems, especially in algebraic expressions problems. Therefore, it is crucial to have a valid design of learning activities to support students' mathematical representation ability. Several previous studies claimed that realistic mathematics education is one of the…

Do students procrastinate less when their parents psychologically press them to study? Or do they show procrastination when classroom environment lacks structure? In this study, we aimed to investigate to what extent perceived maternal psychological control and perceived classroom structure in math class relate to adolescents' academic…

There is an abundance of literature highlighting the need to focus on enhancing students' creativity in the classroom. This research aimed to determine the impact of the Mathematical Creative Approach (MCA) on mathematical creativity and mathematics achievement among students and to explore the relationship between mathematical creativity and…

This article looks at an interdisciplinary college movement and mathematics course from the perspectives of one of its co-creators and a mathematics education researcher. It suggests deep, embodied use of choreographic problem solving can form an effective path to mathematics learning through (a) conceptual overlap between mathematics and dance,…

Tasks involving real-world contexts offer opportunities for teachers to engage students in mathematical practices (Standards for Mathematical Practice; NGA Center and CCSSO 2010). The practice of reasoning abstractly and quantitatively requires students to decontextualize and contextualize a task. Decontextualizing a task involves representing it…

This paper presents a praxeological analysis, based on ATD (Anthropological Theory of the Didactic), of the topic of Fourier series, as this topic is introduced and used in mathematics and in electrical engineering, more precisely in signal theory. The analysis is based mainly on one widely used textbook in mathematics for engineers, and a…

One of the fundamental topics taught in the microeconomics class is minimizing economic costs. It includes understanding the concept of derivatives and applying them. However, most of the first-year undergraduate students find calculus difficult to understand, which also results in poor knowledge of optimization. We use the method based on the…

In this research, the effect of authentic activities on the scientific process skills of 7th grade students was investigated. Research has been studied in a secondary school with 37 students in Turkey. In the research, authentic learning based education was carried out for 5 weeks in the 2017-2018 academic year. In this semi-experimental model,…

It is widely assumed that teachers play a key role in providing high-quality learning opportunities to students and fostering students' learning. Yet it is still unclear how specific teacher knowledge facets as part of their professional competence contribute to classroom processes and learning outcomes. Focusing on mathematics education at the…

Evaluations of professional development programmes often seek to represent definitive outcomes, with phenomena posited as discrete, bounded and independent entities, and researchers positioned as external actors. An alternative is to understand the complexity of these relationships as entanglements by applying Baradian concepts. The value of this…

Mathematics anxiety and attitude have a great influence on mathematics performance. This article presents an analysis of the relationship between Mathematics anxiety, attitude and performance. The study adopted a correlational research design. The analysis is based on the responses of 367 students who were randomly selected from 55 secondary…

In this research we explore the pedagogical affordances associated with the use of a 3D printer in a middle school classroom (11-12 years old). We introduced the 3D printer in a classroom where no one, including the teacher, had prior knowledge of 3D printing. Lessons using the 3D printer were designed to correspond with the mathematics curriculum…

In this paper we discuss students' opportunities to learn to pose mathematical problems, based on a historical analysis of problem posing in the area of number and algebra in six series of Chinese primary school mathematics textbooks published since the 1950s. We examine changes in the proportion and distribution of the problem-posing tasks, and…

This study was inspired by the following question: how is mathematical creativity connected to different kinds of expertise in mathematics? Basing our work on arguments about the domain-specific nature of expertise and creativity, we looked at how participants from two groups with two different types of expertise performed in…
