Undergraduate mathematics education is essential for building a foundation for success in various scientific disciplines. Curriculum reforms in mathematics education have emphasized the need for cultivating learning skills that depend on effective student engagement (SE). Consequently, there has been growing research on the mechanisms that…

This paper presents research activity on computer-based mathematics learning to study the effectiveness of open-source teaching computer platforms (Canvas) in computer-assisted instruction. We designed a set of multiple-choice online quizzes as a dynamical flow-chart of possible paths to follow while solving a difficult math problem on…

This technical report describes the entire development process for all mathematics items and tests used in CBMSkills. A brief introduction highlights the purpose of the assessment system, noting their important relationship with easyCBM. Given the items are designed to provide teachers diagnostic information on students' specific skills within…

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:…

Many students are finishing secondary school without the essential mathematical skills needed to participate in social activities. Research in mathematics education has been investigating the phenomenon of persistent low achievement in mathematics learning from various perspectives, including cognitive, affective, and social ones. Each perspective…

Mastery learning improves learning proficiency and efficiency. However, the overpractice of skills--students spending time on skills they have already mastered--remains a fundamental challenge for tutoring systems. Previous research has reduced overpractice through the development of better problem selection algorithms and the authoring of focused…

Unfortunately, too many young people come to Algebra I with significant gaps due to instructional inconsistencies and interruptions in their mathematics learning over several years. Given the long-term impact of academic success on young people's lives, it is critical to help more students succeed in Algebra I. TNTP asked the question: "How…

The increasing prevalence of data emphasizes the importance of statistical literacy. Educational systems are charged with developing students who are statistically literate before entering higher education or the workforce. Adequate teaching and learning of statistics in K-12 education faces challenges, due to limited statistical content knowledge…

Understanding how marginalized students experience and perceive mathematics is critical to achieving the goal of inclusive and equitable math pedagogy. We report on 67 focus groups with 251 predominantly Black high schoolers experiencing economic marginalization in the Southern United States and attended to their achievement level and race-gender…

This paper reports on five secondary school mathematics prospective teachers' conceptions of "extreme point." The analysis of the data addressed students' definitions, examples, and evaluation of given examples, with special attention to the related domain. Written assignments and individual interviews uncover salient, erroneous concept…

This study examined the relationships between factors contributing to high school students' mathematics achievement. Three hundred fourteen high school students participated in the study. We collected the data through the "Self-Efficacy Scale for Mathematics Literacy," "Bidimensional Mathematics Anxiety Scale,"…

This literature review covers 42 years and has two main objectives: to identify the obstacles to learning the polar coordinate system and to explore the teaching proposals suggested to overcome them. These questions are answered by locating and analysing articles related to the topic published in research and practitioner journals specialising in…

This study aimed to observe the competencies of pre-service mathematics teachers in designing mathematical modeling tasks. The participants were 45 pre-service mathematics teachers enrolled in a Mathematics Education Theory course at a university in Seoul, South Korea. Data were collected from surveys and task development reports. The participants…

Previous research on whether pre-service teachers change their views of mathematics and its teaching during their education has mixed results. We pursued a descriptive understanding of the effect of teacher education on the views of teacher education graduates, through using data from ten interviews with Swedish secondary mathematics pre-service…

Statistics education researchers have been challenged to consider the theory of inferentialism in understanding concept formation in students. A critique of inferentialism is that no comprehensive method has been formulated to use the theory in practice. In this paper an inferentialism-based framework is presented that appears to be capable of…
