While the majority of scholarly investigations concerning pedagogical behavior predominantly underscore verbal communication, the significance of nonverbal behavior remains inadequately examined. This research endeavors to propose a theoretical framework pertaining to educators' nonverbal communication and introduces two artificial…

This study examines the relationship between class size and secondary school students' mathematics achievement focusing on three aspects: (1) the relationship between class size and mean mathematics achievement gains; (2) how relationships differentiate across student groups; and (3) the association between class size and variance in mathematics…

Background and Aims: Students with intellectual disability benefit from high-quality instruction in reading and mathematics. Methods: This Theoretical Paper outlines the need for effective, evidence-based instructional practices for this population and the potential for observation research to inform such advancements. We report our systematic…

This article describes the outcomes of using a scaffolded set of two digital, simulation-based approaches to support secondary mathematics and science preservice teachers (PSTs) in learning to facilitate argumentation-focused discussions. The researchers investigated PST and teacher educator (TE) impressions of the experience and collected…

This study examines the effects of parental support on learning engagement and the mediating roles of self-regulated learning (SRL) in mathematics online learning environments. A sample of 112 undergraduate students from the mathematics departments of two public universities in Malaysia participated in the study. We analyzed the data using…

Although teacher tracking in mathematics is a phenomenon broadly recognized by practitioners, there is a dearth of empirical research examining the effects of mathematics teacher tracking. Education reformers and experts declare a need to de-track secondary teachers to balance teaching assignments. This study examines factors relevant to teachers'…

Innovative dynamic data tools afford opportunities for K-12 students and teachers to explore multivariate data and create linked data representations. These tools also support engagement in data moves, which are transnumerative actions to process, organize, and visualize data. The current study sought to understand how prospective K-12 mathematics…

This study investigates the types of instruction multilingual learners (MLs) experience in the general education classroom in upper-elementary school. Using the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010-2011 (ECLS-K) we examine the types of instructional practices MLs experienced in reading, math, and science in fourth and…

This paper examines the relationship between subject specialization in high school and university undergraduate degree program choices. Focusing on a reform in England that encouraged students to opt for studying mathematics in the last 2 years of high school, the study analyzes its effect on undergraduate enrollment in Science, Technology,…

This paper explores the tensions between two influences that currently shape the design of textbooks and other teaching resources. Through a textual analysis of primary school curricula from Australia and Mexico, we document a "curricular trend" in which number is framed almost exclusively in terms of counting. We explain that this trend…

As part of the ongoing assessment of AB 705, The RP Group's Multiple Measures Assessment Project (MMAP) regularly assesses the how this landmark legislation effects students access to and success in transfer-level English and math across the California Community Colleges. In addition to overall impact, the authors also explore the enrollment and…

The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to investigate how generative AI tools, particularly ChatGPT, impact preservice teachers' lesson plans and attitudes toward mathematics. Fifty-five undergraduate students who were enrolled in their first semester of a teacher education program participated in the study. Each student created two lesson…

This study aimed to investigate prospective middle school mathematics teachers' noticing of students' algebraic thinking based on students' correct and incorrect solutions within the context of pattern generalization. Designed as a qualitative case study, three noticing prompts were asked of thirty-two prospective middle school mathematics…

This article presents a set of "work-sharing routines," which teachers can use to broaden their repertoire of using student work, with an eye toward cultivating students' belonging. The authors define work-sharing as using actual mathematical student work, ideally from students in the class, to facilitate learning. Although there are…

Tables are fundamental tools for handling data and play a crucial role in developing both computational thinking (CT) and mathematical thinking (MT). Despite this, they receive limited attention in research and design. This study investigates pupils' attitudes toward and approaches to working with tables in informatics education, focusing on the…
