The aim of this study is to show how the GeoGebra software-supported collaborative learning environment contributes to a group of students using multiple representations and reaching generalisations while solving problems collectively. Blending individual and collaborative learning activities were carried out with a learning method called ACODESA…

This study investigates the impact of GeoGebra, a dynamic, accessible, and easy-to-use mathematics software, on student confidence and perceptions of its helpfulness in the context of Calculus III courses. A quasi-experimental design was employed to compare four sections of Calculus III, with two sections integrating GeoGebra for in-class…

This study explores the task-specific self-efficacy of 1815 Chinese fourth graders and 1767 eighth graders as well as its relationship to their problem-posing performance and the moderating effect of grit on this relationship. the linear regression model, generalised additive model (GAM) and continuous threshold regression model (CTRM) were used.…

This design-based research project explored how various design features of AR-based learning environments (ARLE) influence students' mathematics self-efficacy and learning of kinematics. Specifically, five ARLEs with different design features were developed and implemented with 136 seventh-grade students in two rounds. Data were gathered from pre-…

The subjective task value (STV) aspect of Expectancy-Value Theory has recently gained significance in achievement motivation research. It posits that students are motivated to engage in a particular task due to its intrinsic value, attainment value, utility value, and perceived cost. More recently, these components have been divided into more…

The use of technology and tools that enable the automation of personalized learning systems has become increasingly relevant and has attracted substantial attention in the field of research. Under this premise, the present study examines the potential of using personalized instructional sequences with activities in the Moodle learning management…

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted traditional learning in schools by abruptly transitioning to distance learning, prompting ongoing evaluation of its effects. This study extends previous research by incorporating additional data collected after two cohorts of students resumed in-person learning for multiple years. Northwest Evaluation Association…

TPACK development for prospective mathematics teacher students is a crucial aspect in preparing educators who are able to integrate technology effectively in the learning process. This study aims to examine the development of TPACK for prospective mathematics teacher students and the most effective form of TPACK development for prospective…

This study examines associations between enrollment in high-quality PreK and growth in children's (N = 422; M[subscript age] = 5.63 years; 47% female; 15% Asian, 19% Black, 30% White, 31% Hispanic; 5% other or mixed race) academic, executive functioning, and social-emotional skills across kindergarten (2017-2018) and first grade (2018-2019).…

Background/purpose: This study examines whether Universal Design for Learning (UDL), based on the VARK model, can aid struggling students in mathematics in developing their statistical thinking skills. Additionally, the proposed study examines the relationship between learning preferences and the effect of these preferences on performance.…

Teacher job satisfaction is pivotal for retaining competent, qualified teachers, and for enhancing their overall well-being. School working conditions play a vital role in shaping teachers' perspectives on their career and profession. However, international comparative research is still limited in pinpointing the specific elements of the…

Mathematics teachers' professional learning is moving away from prescriptive professional development (PD) toward collaborative, practice-based models--such as video-clubs and lesson co-design--which provide teachers with space and time to discuss problems of practice among peers. Some models, which we term "process-oriented",…

Background: The underrepresentation of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) remains a persistent international challenge with complex causes. This study draws on five complementary theoretical perspectives--theory of circumscription and compromise, situated expectancy-value theory, the internal/external frame of…

Prior research has identified employee-related factors such as participation, morale, and shortage as important predictors of organisational performance. However, this relationship has not been extensively examined for educational organisations such as schools, colleges, and universities with large scale samples. In this study we used multiple…

Students' reading ability affects their outcomes in learning software even outside of reading education, such as in math education, which can result in unexpected and inequitable outcomes. We analyze an adaptive learning software using Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) to understand how the fairness of the software is impacted when reading ability…
