Rifat Shafwatul Anam; Surya Gumilar; Ari Widodo – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
Most primary school students, although they grasp the scientific concepts of heat convection at the macroscopic level, commonly fail to visualize those concepts. Therefore, our research aims to enact a constructivist teaching sequence (CTS) to restructure students' visualization changes, ultimately enabling them to synergize macroscopic and…

Hoth, Jessica; Heinze, Aiso; Huang, Hsin-Mei E.; Weiher, Dana Farina; Niedermeyer, Inga; Ruwisch, Silke – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
Measurement estimation skills are relevant for our everyday life and should be addressed in the mathematics classroom. Although students' measurement estimation skills were examined in several empirical studies, a structure model to describe these skills is still missing. The current research aimed at analyzing the structure of length estimation…

Yeo, Sheunghyun; Shim, Hyejin; Hwang, Sunghwan; Campbell, Tye G. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
Mathematics growth trajectory plays a significant role to predict future outcomes and careers. We examined the existence of different growth trajectories in mathematics during the late elementary-school period (from Grades 4 to 6) and the relationship between the trajectory group classification and later mathematics achievement (Grade 8). Then,…

Suseelan, Menaga; Chew, Cheng Meng; Chin, Huan – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
The cultural diversity of Malaysia gives a way to three types of public primary schools which vary in terms of cultural and medium of instruction. This study aimed to explore the difference between the performance of grade four primary students from the rural region of Malaysia in solving word problems involving measurement formula and higher…

Liou, Pey-Yan; Lin, Yao-Mei; Huang, Ssu-Ching; Chen, Sufen – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
This study investigated gender disparities in students' science motivational beliefs, conceptualized as self-concept and intrinsic value, from Grades 4 to 8 in 22 countries. The gender-specific relation between science motivational beliefs and achievement was also scrutinized. Data from the 2011 and 2015 national cohorts of the Trends in…

Al-Balushi, Sulaiman M.; Al-Harthy, Ibrahim S.; Almehrizi, Rashid S. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
When individuals' attention shifts away from the primary tasks they are involved in, their minds start to wander. This mental phenomenon, also known as mind-wandering, can interact with other variables and affect the performance of academic tasks. The current study focuses particularly on the mind-wandering (MW) of Omani students while they were…

Fung, Dennis; Liang, Tim – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
This paper reports the results of a quasi-experimental study that evaluated the effectiveness of collaborative mind mapping in three Hong Kong primary schools. More than 200 grade 4 students, divided into three pedagogical groups, participated in a variety of science learning activities with the aid of a mind map and/or collaborative group work.…

Basyal, Deepak; Jones, Dustin L.; Thapa, Mohan – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
We investigated the cognitive demand of the exercise problems that middle school students from Nepal are expected to complete. The middle school (grades 6, 7, and 8) mathematics textbooks examined in this study were published and distributed by the government of Nepal. Our data set consisted of textbooks that are currently in use in public schools…

Yuan, Yuan; Chen, Kuolong – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
This study used fraction number line estimation tasks to evaluate students' developmental patterns, and the relationship of such tasks with whole number bias was explored. In total, 189 fourth-grade students in a northern Taiwan elementary school were followed over 2 years. The results demonstrated that the students' fraction learning development…

Gantt, Allison L.; Paoletti, Teo; Corven, Julien – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
Covariational reasoning (or the coordination of two dynamically changing quantities) is central to secondary STEM subjects, but research has yet to fully explore its applicability to elementary and middle-grade levels within various STEM fields. To address this need, we selected a globally referenced STEM assessment--the Trends in International…

Russo, James; Hopkins, Sarah – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
There has been considerable research into how children solve single-digit addition problems for more than a century now, which has brought about significant changes to the ways teachers' support children to retrieve single-digit addition facts. In this project, we examine what makes an addition problem difficult to retrieve in light of…

Madej, Lars – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
This case study investigates, at three Swedish schools, primary school students' knowledge of the equal sign. The schools were chosen as representatives of schools whose students have different socioeconomic backgrounds. The data consist of Grade 3 and 6 students' responses to an assessment form based on Matthews et al. ("JRME,"…

Guo, Meng; Hu, Xiang; Leung, Frederick K. S. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
This study examined the relationships among cultural values, goal orientations, and mathematics achievement in mainland China. Structural equation models were used to analyze data on 350 Grade 5 students. The results showed that mathematics achievement was positively related to family-support and mastery goal orientations and negatively related to…

Yang, Der-Ching; Sianturi, Iwan Andi Jonri – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
Numbers and operations is widely considered the most essential domain in elementary school grades. Nevertheless, elementary students in Indonesia have consistently performed unsatisfactorily on this domain in several international mathematics assessments. This study examined 308 Indonesian sixth grade students' current performance(s),…
