Embracing the theme of this year's meeting, we seek as a community to consider the role of expansion, displacement, and growth in mathematics education in the privileging of some and marginalizing of others. Following on the topics discussed at the Working Group between 2009- 2018, this year the focus is on balancing the need to reflect and…

In this paper, we explore the ways in which learning more about research on students' experiences in mathematics classrooms has the potential to transform the work we do with teachers in teacher preparation, professional development, and research settings. We focus in particular on questions of student access to and participation in mathematics…

When students are engaged in the process of creating a digital story, they synthesize a variety of literacy skills for the authentic product: researching, writing, organizing, presenting, interviewing, problem-solving, assessing, as well as employing interpersonal and technology skills (Baggett, 2007). With all these skills to be developed among…

This research critically analyzes the study abroad experience of preservice teachers to better understand the potential as well as the challenges of preparing teachers for a diverse, global society. Drawing on critical analysis of both study abroad and preservice teacher education, and incorporating theories of globalization, we interrogate the…

Building on recent research into the importance of positive teacher emotions for student learning experiences, the current study involved five upper primary teachers at a Victorian government school developing integrated mathematics units built around topic areas of personal interest or passion. Respective students (n=88) elected to participate in…

This research aimed to develop an assessment tool for students' Positive Experiences about Science (PES). A preliminary version of PSE was developed through literature review, consisting of academic emotion, self-concept, learning motivation, career aspiration, and attitude in science. A pilot test was conducted with 198 students and a main test…

The objective of this paper is to investigate differences in the academic achievement of students who report experiencing both bullying and a lack of belonging within their school settings as compared to their peers who report neither of these experiences. This study will expand upon existing research by using a cross-national sample of students…

Facebook status updates provided the data for a study into the transition learning experiences of first year university students. The research responded to criticism that research about social media and education tends to focus on how social network sites can be adapted or controlled in the educational setting. The research referred to here, used…

College and career pathways represent a significant national educational reform movement supported by federal, state, and philanthropic funders. High school pathways combine career and technical education with rigorous academics, work-based learning, and student supports to provide equitable access to postsecondary opportunities. Strong research…

This study was conducted for the researcher's Master's thesis on the lived experience of introverted adolescent female students in rural Nova Scotia, Canada. The aim of the research was to better understand these students' lived experiences in public school. Due to their introverted natures, these students' stories are not typically reported. The…

Studies on how students experience their PhD have been promoted in order to understand how this collective develops in their careers (research-oriented studies) and/or as an indicator to improve doctoral programmes (assessment-oriented). In the present review, 79 studies collecting data from questionnaires and scales were analyzed. Among the…

Using a critical race lens perspective, this paper aims to analyze how Black and Latinx graduate students of color in STEM fields narrate their experiences in graduate programs. The data suggests that graduate programs have created a colorblind environment that gives the illusion of equality, leaving students of color at a disadvantage when it…

Technological advances over the last decade have had a significant impact on the teaching and learning experiences students encounter today. We now take technologies such as Web 2.0, mobile devices, cloud computing, podcasts, social networking, super-fast broadband, and connectedness for granted. So what about the student use of these types of…

Since the 1990s numerous scholars have highlighted a variety of diverse and complex issues impacting the education of Black males. Interestingly however, the public discourse about Black males in the news media and educational discourse tend to still report the experiences of Black males in one dimensional ways, not accounting for the complexity…

This article reports the descriptive results of foreign language anxiety experiences of engineering students in a top-ranked research university in Thailand. Although numerous studies have been conducted in the past years about English language anxiety, few studies have reported anxiety situations specific to Thai engineering graduate students in…
