Kalogeropoulos, Penelope; Russo, James; Russo, Toby; Sullivan, Peter – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2020
Teaching assistants are not always utilised effectively in mathematics classrooms. Moreover, there is limited research examining instructional models that might more meaningfully incorporate teaching assistants into the teaching and learning of mathematics. To address this gap in the literature, the current study explored three distinct…
