Stefan Johansson; Jan-Eric Gustafsson; Åse Hansson; Tarja Alatalo – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2024
There is consensus that, for student achievement, teachers matter. However, providing reliable research evidence for the effects of observable teacher characteristics, such as qualification measures, has been difficult. The current study uses panel data based on register information from teachers and students to estimate effects of teacher…

Grewall, Tejvir Kaur – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The purpose of this research was to investigate students' mathematical understandings of fraction division with an ethnomathematics/STEM framework. A small group teaching study (Cobb et al., 2003) was conducted using design research methodology to examine how students interacted with the curriculum. The researcher served as interventionist and…

Early, Kristen N. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine if a statistically significant difference existed in student growth and proficiency scores between students receiving gamified math instruction compared to those receiving non-gamified math instruction in a suburban middle school in Tennessee. This investigation is based on the theoretical…

Achmad Hidayatullah; Csaba Csíkos – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2024
Investigating factors affecting students' academic performance seems a hard job for researchers on the empirical front. Beliefs, parents' educational background, motivation, and attitudes have been proven significantly influence achievement. However, concurrent research on the relationship among these variables seems scarce. Therefore, to…

Michiko Sakaki; Kou Murayama; Anne C. Frenzel; Thomas Goetz; Herbert W. Marsh; Stephanie Lichtenfeld; Reinhard Pekrun – Child Development, 2024
This study examined how adolescents' emotions in mathematics develop over time. Growth curve modeling was applied to longitudinal data collected annually from 2002 to 2006 (Grades 5-9; N = 3425 German adolescents; M[subscript age] = 11.7, 15.6 years at the first and last waves, respectively; 50.0% female). Results indicated that enjoyment and…

Andreas de Barros; Alejandro J. Ganimian – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2024
This is one of the first studies to evaluate the impact of computer-based individualized instruction in a developing country. We randomly assigned 1,528 students in grades 6-8 in 15 "model" public schools in Rajasthan, India who were using a computer-adaptive learning software to: a control group, in which they were only able to access…

Brucke, Candice Yarbray – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Middle school math students are underperforming on teacher-created assessments and assignments, state assessments, and nationally normed assessments, such as the Measures of Academic Performance (MAP) and the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP). Only 35.7% of sixth graders in South Carolina scored "meets or exceeds…

Jessica M. Namkung; J. Marc Goodrich; Kejin Lee – Grantee Submission, 2023
Mathematics anxiety (MA) refers to negative cognition and negative affect that interfere with mathematics performance. We examined the dimensionality of MA, measurement invariance across males and females, and whether the strength of relations between MA and mathematics performance varies by dimension and gender among 245 sixth-grade students.…

Kyoko Taniguchi – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2024
Previous studies have paid considerable attention to the impact on a child's primary education of attending pre-primary school. Researchers have asserted that early educational intervention can compensate for the effects of poverty and inadequate learning environments on child development and school success. This study analyzes the relationship…

Polat, Hatice; Özkaya, Merve – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023
This study aims to examine the effect of problem posing-based active learning activities on students' problem-posing skills and problem-solving achievement. To this aim, an experimental design with pre-test post-test control group was employed. The participants consisted of two groups of sixth graders, one experimental group (N=23) and one control…

Abdullah Terzi; Tugrul Kar – Education 3-13, 2024
The present study aimed to test the effect of the problem-posing instruction experimentally based on the extended active learning framework on the development of Turkish middle school sixth-grade students' (N = 19) problem-posing and -solving skills with whole-number operations. The training programme was completed in 13 lessons over a seven-week…

Anne van Leest; Janneke van de Pol; Jan van Tartwijk; Lisette Hornstra – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2024
For students who perform inconsistently across subjects, teachers face challenges in formulating track recommendations, as their achievement will not point to one secondary school track. This issue may be more prominent for students from diverse backgrounds, given the achievement differences between specific subject domains within these groups.…

Colleen O'Donnell Oppenzato – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Many U.S. students possess only a weak knowledge of fraction arithmetic. I hypothesize that textbooks are a critical reason for students' poor performance on fraction arithmetic. This is not because of what textbooks contain but rather because of what they lack. Distributions of fraction arithmetic problems in textbooks are imbalanced, with…
