Policymakers, campus leaders, and faculty have increasingly turned to inquiry-based racial equity professional development (IB-REPD) to foster race-related learning and change to address racially unequal student outcomes. This study examines how white community college math faculty participating in a two-year IB-REPD navigated challenges in fully…

Background: Learning interest is an intrinsic motivation that dynamically interacts with friendships. Students alter their learning interests to assimilate with their friends and actively establish friendships on the basis of similar interests. These processes do not operate in isolation but rather in the broader peer context. Class-level…

Business analytics is an emerging and prominent tool in many industries seeking to exploit the advantages of data-driven decision making. Simultaneously, educational institutions are developing and delivering business analytics offerings to equip business professionals with the tools necessary to implement business analytics in modern businesses.…

Youth with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often exhibit impairments in mathematics, but long-term math development into adulthood, particularly in females, is underexplored. We characterized trajectories of math achievement in girls with ADHD and an age- and ethnicity-matched comparison sample from childhood through early…

This study aims to examine the factors that influence university students' behavioral intention in accepting video-conferencing for learning mathematics in the post-COVID-19 era. Videoconferencing as a learning tool has been widely used to establish effective communication among learners, teachers, and peers. This is particularly valuable in…

Innovative dynamic data tools afford opportunities for K-12 students and teachers to explore multivariate data and create linked data representations. These tools also support engagement in data moves, which are transnumerative actions to process, organize, and visualize data. The current study sought to understand how prospective K-12 mathematics…

This study investigates the types of instruction multilingual learners (MLs) experience in the general education classroom in upper-elementary school. Using the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010-2011 (ECLS-K) we examine the types of instructional practices MLs experienced in reading, math, and science in fourth and…

This paper examines the relationship between subject specialization in high school and university undergraduate degree program choices. Focusing on a reform in England that encouraged students to opt for studying mathematics in the last 2 years of high school, the study analyzes its effect on undergraduate enrollment in Science, Technology,…

This paper explores the tensions between two influences that currently shape the design of textbooks and other teaching resources. Through a textual analysis of primary school curricula from Australia and Mexico, we document a "curricular trend" in which number is framed almost exclusively in terms of counting. We explain that this trend…

Financial literacy is an essential skill for individuals, yet many countries are encountering many challenges to achieving the desired level of ideal financial literacy. Improving financial literacy requires integrating mathematical literacy with psychological, social, and cultural factors. Despite its importance, there is a lack of comprehensive…

This research examines the integration of computational thinking in mathematics education, specifically examining its impact on students' algebraic reasoning. By teaching core computational concepts such as pattern recognition, decomposition, and algorithmic thinking, students develop a deeper understanding of algebraic structures and processes.…

This study explores the relationship between primary school teachers' beliefs about mathematics instruction and their actual teaching practices in Croatian classrooms. Specifically, it examines whether teachers' instructional approaches align with their beliefs, particularly in the context of traditional versus non-traditional pedagogical models.…

This study investigates elementary school teachers' mastery of mathematical content and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) in Eastern Indonesia, a region bordering other countries. Specifically, the research explores the relationship between teachers' knowledge of content and students (KCS), knowledge of content and teaching (KCT), and knowledge…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has evolved rapidly, and many K-12 mathematics classroom teachers experience tensions about how to utilize it within their practice. The tensions become evident relative to teachers' readiness and willingness to use GenAI based on their: (1) personal depth of knowledge; (2) ethical concerns; and (3) lack…

Background: Empirical research examining the impact of magnet school programs on student achievement outcomes demonstrates heterogeneous findings across studies, with some investigations revealing null effects (e.g., Harris, 2019) while others document statistically significant positive impacts (e.g., Wang et al., 2018). This study contributes to…
