John Mangundu – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
Education institutions globally, are increasingly driven to integrate innovative technologies in teaching spaces. While many studies have been conducted on e-learning, blended learning and m-learning, only a few studies have concentrated on the STEM preservice teachers' e-readiness for using online multimodal teaching methods in developing…

Umesh Ramnarain; Sumayya Moosa – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
In South Africa, there is a strong recognition of the affordances of information and communications technology (ICT) in science teaching and learning. A key indicator for the effective use of ICT is the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) of teachers with TPACK-Practical (TPACK-P) being an important iteration related to teacher…

Ebo Amuah; Ernest Kofi Davis – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
This study investigated children's knowledge of the addition of fractions with unlike denominators. It focussed on the strategies used by children to add fractions with unlike denominators. A cross-sectional survey of Grade 8 children in schools in two districts in Ghana was used. A test on the addition of fractions with unlike denominators was…

Majuto Clement Manyilizu – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
Gender inequality is strongly linked with poor performance in science and mathematics for female students in secondary schools owing to socio-economic and cultural issues as well as learning strategies. According to the Certificate of Secondary Education Examination results of 2021 in Tanzania, the failure rate for female students was higher than…

Anthony A. Essien; Corin Mathews; Herman Tshesane; Maria Weitz; Lawan Abdulhamid; Tasmiyah Hoosen; Lincoln Lavans – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
Research on mathematical equivalence, and to some extent, on number structure in early grade mathematics, has shown that most students at primary and secondary levels understand these concepts instrumentally rather than relationally. The study reported in this paper uses a design research approach to explore both mathematical equivalence and…

Samantha Morrison; Mellony Graven; Hamsa Venkat; Pamela Vale – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
In this article we share the findings emanating from a 20 year (2003-2022) review of South African Early Grade Mathematics (EGM) research articles published in key international and local/regional journals. The review shows a substantial increase in the volume of published EGM articles in the second decade (2013-2022), nationally and…

Lise Westaway; Lyn Webb; Maria Weitz; Hanlie Botha – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
This paper examines the conceptions of 'number sense' as promoted in pre-service primary mathematics education courses at 11 South African Higher Education Institutions through the texts used by academics or prescribed for students. While all the participating institutions agree that the development of primary school learners' 'number sense' is…

Kimberley Porteus – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
The majority of children in mainstream (no fee, poorly resourced, African language dominant) public schools in South Africa fall significantly behind curricular norms in mathematics by Grade 3; the early learning gap grows across time. The provision of "quality" instructional materials is a well-recognised component of effective…

The development of statistical literacy has become a key outcome of mathematics curricula in various countries. The purpose of the study was to explore primary pre-service teachers' (PSTs') knowledge of aspects of measures of central tendency, which is a central concept in statistical literacy. The 183 PSTs' written responses to four tasks were…

Mwadzaangati, Lisnet; Adler, Jill; Kazima, Mercy – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
We re-examine a Malawian teacher's lessons which, using the framework of mathematic problem-solving developed by Polya, the typology of levels of task demand from Stein and colleagues and Malawi's description of learner-centred education (LCE), were described as teacher-centred and evaluated as 'not good'. We studied seven video-recorded circle…

Mapulanga, Thumah; Nshogoza, Gilbert; Yaw, Ameyaw – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) has the potential to influence lesson planning, teaching and students' academic performance in science. Since PCK is embodied in lesson planning (as planned PCK), this study employed the multiple-case design to describe in-depth the biology teachers' profiles of planned topic-specific PCK (plTSPCK) for…

Ogegbo, Ayodele Abosede; Ramnarain, Umesh – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Although there is a lot of interest in the development of computational thinking (CT) and the benefits it could have for every student, integrating it into science classrooms may be more difficult than traditional teaching. This can be very challenging for South African science teachers. Thus, there is an increasing need to prepare teachers and…

Longwe, Justina; Fauskanger, Janne; Kazima, Mercy – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
This article discusses the findings of a case study that explored the use of explanatory talk in mathematics teacher education lessons on how to teach the concept of place value. The Mathematics Discourse in Instruction framework guided the study, in particular the element of naming in explanatory talk. Three teacher educators' lessons on the…

Gobede, Fraser; Mosvold, Reidar; Jakobsen, Arne – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Over the years, several frameworks and lesson observation protocols have been developed to ensure objectivity and consistency when determining the quality of a mathematics lesson. Frequently, the frameworks do not agree on the benchmarks for assessing and describing the quality of a lesson. This puts mathematics education researchers in a dilemma…

Hechter, J.; Stols, G.; Combrinck, C. – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
The literature describes different stances concerning the focus on how mathematics should be taught, with some preferring a conceptual knowledge approach and others a procedural knowledge approach. The current study investigated the relationship between students' conceptual and procedural knowledge in a calculus context. To better understand the…
