This dataset focuses on the impact of Continuous Professional Development in Teaching and Learning Mathematics and Science (CPD-ITMS), offered by the Rwanda Quality Basic Education for Human Capital Development (RQBEHCD) Project, Subcomponent 1.2. The provided training aimed to provide essential assistance to teachers in upper primary and lower…

This article describes a collaborative self-study of seven early career mathematics teacher educators. Our collective group sought to improve our practice in, and enhance transparency around, supporting prospective teachers as they engaged in equity-based mathematics pedagogies. The collaboration evolved into a critical friendship and provided a…

Self-proficiency, distinct from self-efficacy, is a more comprehensive dimension in assessing students' abilities. Moreover, the TAI cooperative learning model is believed to be relevant in enhancing self-proficiency, as well as other mathematical ability dimensions, particularly in Statistics course. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the…

This study was to examine the big-fish-little-pond effects (BFLPE) on mathematics achievement by the students' positive attitude toward mathematics (PATM) of Taiwanese eighth-grade students in the Trends of International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). The SLM (students like learning mathematics), SVM (students value mathematics), and SCM…

The generation, use, and analysis of educational data comes with many promises and opportunities, especially where digital materials allow usage of learning analytics (LA) as a tool in data-based decision-making (DBDM). However, there are questions about the interplay between teachers, students, context, and technology. Therefore, this paper…

Previous research examining comparison relations in word problems primarily focused on students' achievements in word problems with one operation. In this paper, we extend previous research to examine the achievement of students of different ages on word problems that integrate compare and combine word problems, hereafter referred to as…

We investigated two research questions: which students are more likely to respond inconsistently to mixed-worded questionnaire scales, and which country samples have larger shares of inconsistent respondents? We defined an inconsistent response as strongly agreeing or disagreeing with both positively and negatively worded items of the same scale.…

This research explores two methods through which ten preservice math teachers develop an understanding of trigonometric values. Using the unit circle, preservice math teachers engage in knowledge-building activities such as paper folding and GeoGebra application. Grounded in Altman and Kidron's 2016 didactical design research, this study examines…

Gender disparity in science and mathematics performance is being researched internationally. In a complex education system, like Pakistan, studying the difference in isolation may not generate holistic understanding. Therefore, this paper investigates changes in trends of performance in Science and Mathematics for both genders across public and…

This study investigates the relationship between students' problem-solving skills in solving mathematical problems and asynchronous collaboration in digital learning environments. The research focuses on the Digital Math Training (DMT) project, designed by the DELTA research group at the University of Turin, which aims to enhance students' digital…

The lack of opportunities for students to practice and master their lessons may result in poor performance in advancing mathematics. This technical action research involved high school STEM students in developing TrigOno, a non-digital card game with popular shedding-type gameplay, to address a problem concerning poor student mastery of…

Motivation to learn mathematics decreased due to the inability of teachers to implement innovative learning models and techniques. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of teachers' ability on students' motivation to learn mathematics by using quantitative methods and survey approaches. There were 32 mathematics teachers and 542…

Background: South African learners face the double disadvantage of living in low socioeconomic conditions with access to few resources and attending schools with challenging learning conditions. Mathematics performance reflects such conditions with extreme performance gaps between wealthier and poorer learners. The need for early intervention is…

This study uses ethnic capital theory to explore access to secondary mathematics education among linguistically diverse (LD) migrants in metropolitan and regional New South Wales, Australia. Administrative data from over 50,000 students who completed their Higher School Certificate in 2017 were analysed using multilevel logit regressions and…

This report looks at the provision of A level subjects in England in 2023. Provision in a subject is defined as the number or percentage of schools with at least one student taking the subject. This report was produced using publicly available data from the Department for Education's (DfE) "Find and compare schools in England" service.…
