This study aims to analyze the influence of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and Guided Discovery Learning (GDL) on students' critical thinking skills in geometry focusing on mathematical literacy within geometry content. Specifically, it examines the effects of self-confidence, mathematical literacy scores, and gender on critical thinking skills and…

This paper examines the critical role of resilience for pre-service teachers by exploring effective strategies for its development. It contributes to understanding the importance of resilience for new teachers to overcome daily challenges and navigate the ever-evolving demands of the teaching profession. Teacher resilience is the outcome of…

This study examined the improvement of mathematical problem-solving skills and learning motivation among students taught using the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model assisted by Augmented Reality (AR). It also investigated the interaction between the learning model and students' ability levels to enhance these skills and motivation. A…

The initial teacher education courses for Mathematics aim to promote an adequate education in mathematics and mathematics didactics. Equally or even more important than this education is understanding how the preservice teacher should build new knowledge from the activities they undertake. Considering the teaching practicum, this study aims to…

Integrating cultural contexts into mathematics education, mainly through Ethno-Realistic Mathematics Education (Ethno-RME), presents a significant opportunity to enhance students' numeracy skills in geometry. However, challenges persist in effectively incorporating cultural elements into curricula while maintaining rigorous and modern mathematical…

In today's data-rich world, students are constantly exposed to statistics through graphs and visuals in media, making data literacy an essential skill. Presented in this article, middle schoolers became entomologists in a 2-day garden-based STEM lesson, collecting and graphing data to explore how different graphs best represent scientific findings.

Learning disabilities are challenging to characterize because they evolve throughout development, frequently co-occur, and have varying domain specificity. Addressing these challenges, we analyzed longitudinal patterns of growth, co-occurrence, and specificity manifesting in the math and reading skills of children with and without learning…

This study presents a scoping survey examining the integration of ChatGPT in mathematics education, highlighting its benefits, challenges, and implications for teaching and learning. The survey identifies key themes, including ChatGPT's ability to assist in understanding mathematical concepts, lesson planning, assessment design, personalized…

Transformative assessment is a strategic approach to assessment that helps teachers use assessment not only for accountability, but also to promote meaningful learning. It enhances instruction and shifts the assessment orientation from summative to formative and summative. This study examined the impact of the Lesson Study for Transformative…

Algebraic Thinking (AT) and Computational Thinking (CT) are pivotal competencies in modern education, fostering problem-solving skills and logical reasoning among students. This study presents the initial hypotheses, theoretical framework, and key steps undertaken to explore characterized learning paths and assign practice-relevant tasks. This…

Augmented Reality (AR) technologies allow for holograms to be layered over the real-world, "augmenting" human vision by adding technical information or illustrations onto 3D space. Although AR-based applications are showing positive effects in many systematic reviews and meta-analyses, well-designed, rigorous studies with strong control…

This study investigated the effectiveness of an innovative virtual classroom simulation (CartoonClass), compared to traditional face-to-face role-play, as methods of teacher education. The study's participants were 62 pre-service teachers from two mathematics-teaching methods courses. The participants in one course were assigned to the virtual…

The purpose of this study is to understand current math teaching practices in dual language immersion (DLI) education by investigating a second--grade Chinese-English DLI teacher's use of instructional strategies in a math class taught in Mandarin Chinese. The students in the class were all native English speakers. This study examined the…

This study examined the validity of trilingual test as a test accommodation to assess the Indigenous pupils' mathematical performance in Malaysia. The study employed two tests; BM-only test with items written in Malay language (BM) and trilingual test, which had items written in BM and English, and oral audio recording in their native Temiar…

This report describes a project undertaken by CCRC, Education Northwest, and three community colleges in Oregon to adapt lesson study for use among faculty teaching a precollege (developmental) quantitative literacy course. Lesson study is a collaborative professional development approach that has been implemented among K-12 mathematics teachers…
