Luschei, Thomas F.; Chudgar, Amita; Rew, W. Joshua – Teachers College Record, 2013

As a result, we know little…

Choy, Ban Heng; Lee, Mi Yeon; Mizzi, Angel – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2020
Textbooks, which form the staples of a teacher's set of resources, play a critical role in deciding what and how mathematics is taught in classrooms. However, textbooks do not always present concepts in ways that enhance understanding by students, nor are they always comprehensive in the treatment of a topic. In this exploratory study, we analyse…

Many primary school students have difficulties understanding mathematical equivalence with considerably poorer performance in some countries than in others. However, students' formal understanding of equivalence has significant and long-lasting effects, as it predicts arithmetic and algebra achievement throughout school years. Currently, little is…

Moon, Rennie J. – Comparative Education, 2016
This article examines why universities in Korea champion internationalisation and aggressively recruit foreign students with diverse ethnic backgrounds, yet resist ideas of valorising diversity. Through a qualitative analysis of university curricula at three major Korean universities, ethnographic interviews with 50 foreign students and focus…

A Cross-Cultural Investigation on Perseverance, Self-Regulated Learning, Motivation, and Achievement
Xu, Kate M.; Cunha-Harvey, Anna Rita; King, Ronnel B.; de Koning, Bjorn B.; Paas, Fred; Baars, Martine; Zhang, Jingjing; de Groot, Renate – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2023
Research on grit indicates that perseverance positively predicts academic achievement. Yet, the mechanisms through which perseverance might lead to academic success remain less explored, particularly in cross-cultural research. The current study investigated such mechanisms by examining possible mediating effects of students' use of self-regulated…
