The purposes of the research were: (1) to study the problems of internship of teachers in teaching mathematics programs; and (2) to compare the problems internship of teachers regarding the classes and educational level. Mixed method research was employed for the study. Quantitative data from 242 sample teachers and interview data from 12…

The purpose of this study is to explore the relation between the teaching of Mathematics and the teaching of Statistics at high school level in the South African Context. The study also examines and analyses examples of statistical teaching situations from both a mathematical and a statistical perspective with view to reveal the links between the…

We investigate definitions and approaches that preservice secondary mathematics teachers develop about teaching mathematics for social justice while participating in an equity-based, anti-racist professional development program. We analyzed transcripts from seminar sessions of the program where participants discussed different forms of teaching…

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the reality of teaching and learning with the support of a calculator, examine the benefits and challenges of using a calculator in teaching mathematics in high school. The study is based on the survey data from math teachers, educational managers, and students who were selected from 24 high schools in…

This study explored the teaching and learning beliefs of qualified (in-field) secondary science teachers who were teaching mathematics out-of-field that is, without qualification. The relationship between secondary teachers' beliefs about their in-field subject--science and their out-of-field subject--mathematics was examined. The theory of…

This study aims to investigate the presence and the level of the effect of preservice mathematics teachers' beliefs about mathematics teaching and learning on mathematics teaching anxiety. The predictive correlational survey model was utilized in this study. We used mathematics-related beliefs scale and mathematics teaching anxiety scale in the…

Teacher education programs are pivotal in the professional preparation and formation of pre-service secondary mathematics teachers (PSMTs), but there appears to be a lack of understanding of how best to prepare PSMTs for the profession. The purpose of this study was to examine and monitor changes over time in PSMTs' views about approaches to…

Students' attitudes and motivations toward mathematics decrease as they intensively confront cognitive information along the process of mathematics teaching in general. One of the most important reasons for this is the lack of activities for affective and psychomotor domains in the mathematics teaching process. One way to overcome this problem is…

This qualitative research study explored barriers that impinged on teachers' use of their knowledge of students' learning styles in teaching mathematics. It was a case study of three secondary schools in the Makoni District of Manicaland Province in Zimbabwe. Participants were fifteen mathematics teachers. Results revealed that the barriers were…

It is often claimed that technology can be used as a tool that can facilitate teaching and learning and contribute to learners' achievement. This article reports on a study about how KwaZulu-Natal mathematics teachers use, access and integrate technology in the teaching and learning of mathematics. A questionnaire containing closed and Likert…

The multi-faceted nature of mathematics knowledge for teaching, including pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), has been studied widely in elementary classrooms, but little research has focused on senior secondary mathematics teaching. This study utilised the Knowledge Quartet (Rowland et al., "Research in Mathematics Education," 17(2),…

This paper focuses on using sociocultural theory to support a context-based approach to teaching mathematics. A goal of the research was to explore the opportunities-to-learn of using a context-based approach to enrich student engagement with mathematics. This paper focuses on the practice of one female secondary school teacher as expressed…

The tutor-web is an open-source learning environment designed to be used for teaching mathematics and statistics. The system offers thousands of exercises at high school and university level, and has been used for a decade to teach introductory statistics courses with good results. A new component has recently been added to the tutor-web so that…

The article presents one of the possible ways of overcoming the misconception that is one of the myths about mathematics, which says that teaching mathematics is based only on the transfer of mathematical knowledge in the finished form -- often in the form of certain algorithms. The newly proposed method of access to mathematics teaching is…

What is the connection between advanced mathematics and teaching secondary mathematics? I address this question, drawing on insights from the Special Issue on "Personal Mathematical Knowledge in the Work of Teaching" ("CJSMTE" 13(2), 2013) and reflecting on my personal teaching experience.
