This research aimed to: (1) develop interactive multimedia to enhance performance on the National Educational Test at the basic level in Mathematics, (2) develop teachers' competency in interactive multimedia utilization, and (3) investigate the effects of interactive multimedia on student learning outcomes. The study involved two target groups:…

A sense of belonging in mathematics--feeling accepted and valued in the field (Good et al., 2012)--is a powerful predictor of student success. However, many students, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds, often lack this feeling as a result of limited representation in curricula and school cultures (Barbieri & Miller-Cotto, 2021).…

Mathematics pre-service teachers (PSTs) engage in teaching practice under the guidance of mentor teachers during teaching practice. This qualitative study explores mentor teachers' perceptions of mathematics PSTs' preparedness to teach mathematics in primary schools. An interpretive paradigm was adopted, while a case study was employed as the…

The research on mathematical argumentation has mainly adopted a dialectic lens which focuses on understanding the abstract and logical development of reasoning in argumentation. However, this approach may have overlooked other key aspects of mathematical argumentation, including the unfolding of the meaning-making experience and process during…

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…

Students with mathematics difficulty, especially students with disabilities and emergent bilinguals, require careful consideration during word-problem instruction. Word problems that include relational terms such as more but are not easily solved using the implied operation (i.e., addition) can be particularly challenging. First, we summarize a…

In the current realm of education 4.0, teachers play a pivotal role as facilitators of holistic skill development. The shift in focus towards accentuating creativity, communication, critical thinking and collaboration (4C) skills signifies an acknowledgment of the changing demands brought about by the industrial revolution 4.0. This transformation…

Students' subjective happiness and attitudes toward learning a subject matter are two factors that could affect learning. These variables are essential for successful instruction. This study ascertained students' subjective happiness and attitudes towards mathematics of secondary school students grouped according to different variables and their…

In this study, we examined the long-term effects of ASSISTments, an educational technology platform that enables formative assessment. The intervention was implemented in schools in one U.S. state for 12-13-year-old students (7th grade). Students' math achievement was measured at the end of the following school year (8th grade, ages 13-14 years),…

This study analyzes the effect of different instructions on threshold concepts within material covering natural selection on students' use of concepts about evolution. Moreover, it examines students' use of concepts as interconnected networks when reasoning about natural selection and analyzes how these concepts relate to each other regarding…

This study examines the impact of an e-learning-based remedial program in senior secondary schools in Indonesia, focusing on two main research areas: program outcomes and factors influencing students' acceptance of the e-learning platform. Using a quantitative pre-experimental design, 168 secondary school students participated, with data collected…

Augmented reality (AR), where digital holograms are layered over the real world, is rapidly being applied to different educational domains, including mathematics education. However, little is known about how AR can be effectively designed for collaborative use. There are both practical and theory-based reasons to set up collaboration in AR in…

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…

Despite the increasing use of digital tools in education, limited research has explored their combined impact on both cognitive and affective learning outcomes in mathematics. This study aims to address this gap by investigating the effect of integrating GeoGebra technology through Augmented Reality (AR) and microgames on students' motivation,…

Research on mathematics teacher curricular decision-making has focused more on what decisions teachers make and less on how teachers make curricular decisions. Teaching images are a well-known concept in teacher education as a form of teachers' practical knowledge (PK) and threads that connect teachers' past experiences to action in the present…
