Norris, Jennifer – Research in Mathematics Education, 2023
Continuing to study mathematics is currently a requirement for low attaining 16- to 18-year olds in Further Education, as part of an ongoing drive to raise basic numeracy skills in England. However, these students, widely regarded as demotivated, often fail to make any progress in mathematics over the two years. This research explores how students…

Ingram, Naomi; Meaney, Tamsin – Research in Mathematics Education, 2022
Although it is assumed that parents influence their children's lives, little is known about how students navigate between their own expectations and their parents' views of mathematics and how this navigation affects mathematical learning. Using an exemplary case of Philip, we illustrate how he made sense of his father's high expectations related…

Páchová, Anna; Vondrová, Nada – Research in Mathematics Education, 2021
Research has uncovered a semantic cue effect for short inconsistent word problems; the presence of functionally related objects makes them easier for pupils than the presence of categorically related ones. This study builds on this result by investigating other types of problems. Variants of problems differing in a semantic cue were solved by…

Andrade-Molina, Melissa – Research in Mathematics Education, 2021
This article aims to unfold the narratives of success in the Modern, cosmopolitan society within transnational discourses. The narratives of success entail utopian desires of enabling "all" students to potentially become profitable for the economy and for themselves -- accountable through mathematics proficiency. This reveals…

Xu, Binyan, Ed.; Zhu, Yan, Ed.; Lu, Xiaoli, Ed. – Research in Mathematics Education, 2021
This book seeks to illustrate the research on mathematics competencies and disposition in China according to the conceptual development and empirical investigation perspective. Mathematics education in China has a distinguishing feature a focus of attention to mathematical competency. Paradoxically, there has not been an explicit, refined, and…

Hilton, John; Larsen, Ross; Wiley, David; Fischer, Lane – Research in Mathematics Education, 2019
Open Educational Resources (OER) have the potential to replace commercial learning materials in education. An empirical examination of this potential was conducted, comparing the end-of-year mathematics test results of 12,110 elementary school students clustered within 95 schools from five school districts in the state of Washington in the United…

McMullen, Jake; Chan, Jenny Yun-Chen; Mazzocco, Michèle M. M.; Hannula-Sormunen, Minna M. – Research in Mathematics Education, 2019
A growing body of evidence reveals the need for research on, and consideration for, children's and students' own--self-guided--spontaneous use of mathematical reasoning and knowledge in action. Spontaneous focusing on numerosity (SFON) and quantitative relations (SFOR) have been implicated as key components of mathematical development. In this…

Keisar, Einav; Peled, Irit – Research in Mathematics Education, 2018
Children in a first-grade class who were taking their first steps in formal mathematical knowledge were given a sequence of five modelling tasks during their regular mathematics lessons. These tasks were different in nature from the problems they encountered in their textbooks. They are more complex and challenging, requiring analysis of the…

Son, Ji-Won, Ed.; Watanabe, Tad, Ed.; Lo, Jane-Jane, Ed. – Research in Mathematics Education, 2017
This book provides a unique international comparative perspective on diverse issues and practices in mathematics education between and among the US and five high-performing TIMSS education systems, Japan, China, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. The book offers multiple perspectives on the important factors that contribute to mathematics…

Noyes, Andrew; Adkins, Michael – Research in Mathematics Education, 2016
The UK Government has set a goal that the "vast majority" of students in England will be studying mathematics to the age of 18 by the end of the decade. The policy levers for achieving this goal include new Core Maths qualifications, designed for over 200,000 students who have achieved good grades at the age of 16 but then opt out of…

Williams, Julian; Choudry, Sophina – Research in Mathematics Education, 2016
Mathematics education needs a better appreciation of the dominant power structures in the educational field: Bourdieu's theory of capital provides a good starting point. We argue from Bourdieu's perspective that school mathematics provides capital that is finely tuned to generationally reproduce the social structures that serve to keep the…

Lerman, Stephen; Adler, Jill – Research in Mathematics Education, 2016
The influences on governments for policy changes in schools range across many agencies, including the political party in power. When policies change, the sources of these influences are not always clear. The project whose work is presented in this special issue examines what these changes look like in terms of the differences in assessment tasks…

Morgan, Candia; Sfard, Anna – Research in Mathematics Education, 2016
This article focuses on the theoretical-methodological question of how to identify reform-induced changes in school mathematics. The issue arose in our project The Evolution of the Discourse of School Mathematics (EDSM), in which we studied transformations in high-stakes examinations taken by students in England at the end of compulsory schooling.…

Coles, Alf; Scott, Hannah – Research in Mathematics Education, 2015
This article focuses on "the unexpected" in relation to teacher change. We take an enactivist approach to charting the parallel development of one teacher (Hannah) as she learnt to value and plan for unexpected events in her mathematics classroom, and one of her students as he learnt to notice and trust mathematical patterns. Shifts are…

Alcock, Lara; Attridge, Nina; Kenny, Steven; Inglis, Matthew – Research in Mathematics Education, 2014
We investigated two factors that predict students' achievement and behaviour in undergraduate mathematics: gender and personality. We found that gender predicted students' achievement and behaviour when considered in isolation, but ceased to be predictive when personality profiles were taken into account. Furthermore, personality accounted for…
