In the educational literature on peer effects, attention has been brought to the fact that the mechanisms creating peer effects are still to a large extent hidden in obscurity. The hypothesis in the study reported in this article was that the Frame Factor Theory (FFT) can be used to reveal such mechanisms. Using data from the Swedish TIMSS 2015 (N…

This study investigates the implementation of remote teaching activities in mathematics classrooms during the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile, a country known for its educational market model, which has led to socioeconomic segregation among schools. The outcomes of remote teaching and the challenges faced by teachers in this context are explored. By…

This paper demonstrated how to apply Machine Learning (ML) techniques to analyze student interaction data collected in an online mathematics game. Using a data-driven approach, we examined: (1) how different ML algorithms influenced the precision of middle-school students' (N = 359) performance (i.e. posttest math knowledge scores) prediction; and…

Over the past three decades Australia has developed an increasingly advanced national system of student assessments, results from which have been used to identify areas of growth, stagnation or decline in student learning. For the most part, trends in different standardised assessments have been considered in isolation. By examining literacy and…

Access to high-quality resources is integral for educators to provide research-aligned mathematics instruction. Identifying the supplemental resources educators use to plan mathematics instruction can inform the ways researchers and organizations disseminate research-based practices. The goal of this study was to identify the frequency in which…

The desire to equip students with 21st-century skills has prompted teachers to find alternative ways to promote real learning of mathematics. One of these ways includes building communities of best practices, with the collaborative efforts of parents. This study aims to investigate how mathematics teaching communities develop mathematical…

Each child will not become senior mathematicians in the future but all children have the right to get learning opportunities which he/she can develop his/her mathematical understanding at school. The success of children in mathematics is closely related to how they are taught mathematics. At this point, the role of teaching mathematics stands out…

The problems of pupils' understanding, performance and attitude towards mathematics cannot be overlooked. This study investigated the basic school pupils' attitude towards the use of BridgeIT mobile application for learning mathematics in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study was a descriptive research of a survey method. A simple random sampling…

Incorporating computational thinking (CT) ideas into core subjects, such as mathematics and science, is one way of bringing early computer science (CS) education into elementary school. Minimal research has explored how teachers can translate their knowledge of CT into practice to create opportunities for their students to engage in CT during…

In this study, it was aimed to teach the addition and subtraction to a student with dyscalculia who is in third grade at elementary school. Before preparing individualized program, the student was given a pretest to measure about his level of the subject. The instruction was carried out in a room in the school, with a time of 40 minutes per day in…

In a traditional math classroom, a math teacher demonstrates procedures to solve a math problem from a math lesson on board. Students follow the same procedures using the same concepts to solve their homework or drill assignments. This method of math instruction is continued day after day (Ferguson, 2006). This route memorization of procedures…

Achievement goals are the reasons for pursuing competence-related tasks. Much prior work has shown that they can affect student motivation, learning, and performance outcomes. They are typically measured in classroom settings vis-à-vis self-report surveys about students' goals or the perceived goal structure of the class. Less work has measured…

Mathematics is a foundation subject within Computer Science which students continue to find challenging. Technology-enhanced learning pedagogies provide opportunities to improve educational learning outcomes, supporting dialogue and best practice. Research conducted over a three-year period at National College of Ireland's "Introduction to…

This study was conducted from a perspective that adopts a broad vision of mathematical talent, defined as the potential that a subject manifests when confronting certain types of tasks, in a successful way, that generate creative mathematical activity. To analyse this, our study proposes a Praxeological Model of Mathematical Talent based on the…

The effect of metacognitive scaffolding for learning by teaching was investigated and compared against learning by being tutored. Three versions of an online learning environment for learning algebra equations were created: (1) APLUS that allows students to interactively teach a synthetic peer with a goal to have the synthetic peer pass the quiz…
