This study aimed to evaluate the value of justice, one of the 10 core values in the mathematics course curriculum, in the context of an exemplary activity in classroom practice and student interviews, where it was integrated into mathematics learning goals. The case study model was employed. The sample of the study included eight 7th-grade…

This article presents an instructional technology-based cycle model intended to support and facilitate the teaching and learning of mathematics, particularly calculus. The study used quantitative methods with quasi-experimental research that uses non-randomised assignments of the study group that are categorised into experimental and control…

This keynote address explores the history and role of college math requirements with a focus on ensuring math courses serve to expand students' horizons, rather than serve as gatekeepers. It discusses the advent of general education math courses, which brought more students into math departments, which ultimately contributed to broadening the…

The increase in online education has implications for mathematics teacher educators who are tasked with teaching mathematics content and pedagogy to pre-service teachers (PSTs) who do not attend on-campus. Concerns about PSTs' content knowledge continues to be an ongoing issue, and ways to address this, especially in an online environment, require…

Problem-posing has been recognized for enhancing students' engagement, problem-solving skills, and mathematical knowledge, which leads to higher mathematics achievement. This research is experimental research with a randomized comparison groups pre-test and post-test design, which aims to examine the effect of using online problem-posing to…

Learning mathematics involves abstract thinking and the use of symbols. To be successful in a mathematics classroom, students must master what symbols mean and how they work. Much prior work has focused on the nature of the external representations used in mathematics instruction, including manipulatives and symbolic representations. In this work,…

Recent mathematics education research highlights the importance of developing rehumanising and critical mathematics pedagogies. The aim of this study is to develop a framework for affective content knowledge in mathematics and to apply that framework to instruction identified as supporting both mathematical learning (ML) and social emotional…

Introductory calculus is mandatory for postsecondary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors (Bressoud, 2015); however, many students do not persist through introductory calculus to further STEM study (Rasmussen et al., 2019). One reason for this may be that students struggle with the prior mathematical knowledge required…

Motivation is known to fluctuate, often declining, over time. Research on how motivation changes across school years is ubiquitous, yet little research examines changes in motivation within one school year. In this study, we model how third- through fifth-grade students' mathematics motivation (i.e., expectancies and values) changes over two years…

A major challenge faced by elementary education programs is the vast amount of content preservice teachers must master in various subject areas. With limited time and coursework, how can teacher preparation programs scaffold meaningful experiences and provide a progression of opportunities to aid preservice teachers in mastering this content and…

This study aims to examine the types of mathematical connections that pre-service mathematics teachers use in their instructions and their opinions on the mathematical connection. For this purpose, a total of 60 pre-service mathematics teachers made lesson plans related to a learning objective from the Turkish middle school mathematics curriculum.…

As a significant tool to integrate information technology and education, dynamic mathematical software (DMS) has been widely concerned in recent years. However, how to better apply it to instruction practice deserves further exploration. Thus, we adopted the meta-analysis method to analyze the DMS-based experiments published between 2000 and 2020.…

Choosing an unsuitable method of delivering material is one of the factors that gives students difficulties in applying concepts in solving mathematical problems. Strong mathematical concepts will help students develop their mathematical thinking skills, including geometric thinking skill. The use of ethnomathematics combined with worked example…

Drawing on autobiographical essays written by master's students in mathematics preparing to become teachers, we investigate what mathematical identity these students articulate and how. By means of a discursive thematic analysis centered on the notion of ascesis, we show that the participants' identity revolves around a characterization of…

Analogy has played an important role in developing modern mathematics. However, it is unclear to what extent students are granted opportunities to productively reason by analogy. This article proposes a set of lessons for introducing topics in ring theory that allow students to engage with the process of reasoning by analogy while exploring new…
