Mills, Melissa; Rickard, Brian; Guest, Bob – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Mathematics tutoring centres exist in varying forms at universities across the United States of America. Despite having similar goals, these centres vary a great deal in their practices, resources, and organizational structures. In this study, the researchers conducted a survey of mathematics tutoring centres in the United States in an effort to…

Lesseig, Kristin; Hine, Gregory – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Despite the recognized importance of mathematical proof in secondary education, there is a limited but growing body of literature indicating how preservice secondary mathematics teachers (PSMTs) view proof and the teaching of proof. The purpose of this survey research was to explore PSMTs' knowledge and beliefs about proof and proof teaching in…

Sevgi, Sevim; Berberoglu, Giray; Cobb, Paul; Smith, Thomas M. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
This study aims to compare teachers' self-efficacy across Turkish and American in-service middle-school mathematics teachers. The samples consist of 379 Turkish and 245 American in-service middle-school mathematics teachers. The self-efficacy questionnaire of the Middle-school Mathematics and the Institutional Setting of Teaching (MIST) scale was…

Ding, Meixia; Li, Xiaobao; Hassler, Ryan; Barnett, Eli – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
This study examines how sampled Chinese and U.S. third and fourth grade students (N[subscript China] = 167, N[subscript US] = 97) understand the commutative, associative, and distributive properties. These students took both pre- and post-tests conducted at the beginning and end of a school year. Comparisons between students' pre- and post-tests…

Bergwall, Andreas – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
Despite the central role of proofs in mathematics, research often shows that school textbooks offer limited support for the teaching and learning of proof-related reasoning. This study contributes to this field of research by studying Swedish and Finnish upper secondary textbooks on logarithms and combinatorics. Justifications in expository…

Avcu, Ramazan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
In this study, I analyzed and compared definitions of special quadrilaterals presented in the US and Turkish secondary school mathematics textbooks. To this end, seven textbooks from each country were examined based on the following features of mathematical definitions: form of presentation and mathematical correctness, minimality, the nature of…
