Contributing to questions about the relationships among identity, power, and dignity in mathematics learning, this article presents a positional interaction analysis of Gisela, a Disabled 10th-grade Latina student, as she took up, challenged, and renegotiated identities of mathematical thinker, learner, and community member over the course of one school year.

ALEKS in High School Mathematics Classrooms: Exploring Teachers’ Perceptions and Use of this Tool

There has been a limited amount of research that has attempted to determine teaching strategies using adaptive learning systems. Most studies have attempted to measure success of the use of these technologies based on improvements in students’ test scores but have lacked to provide any information regarding the pedagogy implemented while using the tool or teachers’ perceptions of it. A basic qualitative study was conducted where five Chicagoland high school mathematics teachers, who used the Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces (ALEKS) system, were interviewed three times during one academic school year. This study asked participants to share first-hand experiences and perceptions of using ALEKS as the main learning tool. Teachers used ALEKS for assessing student understanding through its quizzes and assignments, analyzing student progress, and allowing students to practice and receive feedback on mathematical concepts. The findings of this study indicate that teachers found ALEKS to be easy to use and useful in their teaching. Specifically, teachers cited the assessment tools, built-in feedback, ability to personalize learning, and the accessibility of learning tools for students as useful in their teaching.

Therefore, students in the mathematics classroom are analyzing the learning problems involved in the junior high school mathematics classroom at this stage, aiming at the existing effective methods and strategies, combining the characteristics of junior high school mathematics, and can use them to improve the efficiency of practical classroom teaching practice, so that group collaborative learning and junior high school mathematics classroom can be effectively integrated.

Measuring self‐regulated learning in a junior high school mathematics classroom: Combining aptitude and event measures in digital learning materials

AbstractBackgroundMeasurement of students' self‐regulation skills is an active topic in education research, as effective assessment helps devising support interventions to foster academic achievement. Measures based on event tracing usually require large amounts of data (e.g., MOOCs and large courses), while aptitude measures are often qualitative and need careful interpretation. Precise and interpretable evaluation of self‐regulation skills in a normal K‐12 classroom thus poses a challenge.ObjectivesThe present study proposes and explores a learning analytics method of combining aptitude and event measures to evaluate student's self‐regulation skills.MethodsAn explorative learning analytics study was conducted in a junior high school mathematics class ( students), using a three‐lesson intervention with digital learning materials. Students first assessed their self‐regulation skills with a self‐report questionnaire, after which trace logs and observations of student behaviour were collected. Learning sessions were extracted from trace logs, clustered, and linked to learning strategies. Students were clustered by the self‐report results and learning behaviour profiles. Session clusters, student behaviour clusters and assignment grades were also tested for association.Results and ConclusionsThe detected session and student behaviour types were linked to learning tactics and strategies found in prior studies. Additionally, association was found between self‐reported self‐regulation skills and the student behaviour obtained from trace logs.ImplicationsThe results demonstrate the feasibility of concurrently using aptitude and event measures on a classroom scale, providing teachers with a tool to evaluate and support self‐regulated learning. Combined with further measures like predictive learning analytics, teachers can obtain an early and highly interpretable picture of at‐risk students in their classes.

A Practical Investigation of PBL Model in Chinese Classroom teaching

The New teaching model must regard students as the center of the whole teaching activities. Teachers, teaching materials and other teaching means should serve students' " Students should be actively involved in teaching activities and act as the "protagonists" of teaching. However, there are some problems in the process of changing from a single teacher's lecture to teacher-student interaction. These problems make it difficult for classroom teaching to achieve the expected effect. Therefore, this study combines the PBL teaching model with junior high school mathematics teaching to improve students' mathematical literacy and comprehensive ability in junior high school mathematics classroom teaching. By teaching in problem situations, it improves students' ability to discover and solve problems, focuses on cultivating students' practical spirit and cooperative consciousness, and meets the contemporary requirements of cultivating talents and the development of mathematics teaching.

Modeling basic school teachers acceptance of instructional technology in advancing mathematical pedagogy in Ghana

In this study a modified technology acceptance model (TAM) was used to examine factors that determine information and communication technology (ICT) adoption in junior high school (JHS) mathematics classrooms in Ghana. The study purely employed a quantitative research method. A cross sectional survey was conducted using 180 basic school mathematics instructors in the Kumasi Metro using a questionnaire. Multiple stepwise regression was used as the statistical technique to analyze the data. The study found that usage training, perceived ease of use (PEU), perceived usefulness (PU), and attitude towards use (ATU), had a direct and positive impact on the JHS mathematics instructors’ intentions to utilize ICT for academic purposes. It was likewise concluded that the perceived ICT usefulness was found to be the most influential factor for the instructors’ intention to utilize ICT. The significant effect of usage training was statistically supported against the original TAM constructs utilized in this study. Also, the result from the study further reveals that mathematics facilitators intension to use ICT is not merely based on PEU, PU, and ATU, but fostered through educational culture to train their teaching staff in order to increase their competence and ability to use the instructional technology for academic purposes.

Measurement, Evaluation, and Model Construction of Mathematical Literacy Based on IoT and PISA

“Mathematics Curriculum Standard for Ordinary Senior High School” points out that mathematical modelling literacy is the literacy of abstracting real problems mathematically, expressing problems with mathematical language, and building models with mathematical methods to solve problems. It assesses the amount to which students who are about to finish compulsory schooling have the knowledge and aptitude to deal with future life issues, based on the notion of lifelong learning. The usage of a local integrated development environment requires a number of complex processes, including installation and setup, as well as the procurement of necessary hardware. In reality, in order to nurture students, the core literacy of mathematics is to completely execute quality education, further identify the training and development direction of talents, and infiltrate the core literacy material into junior high school mathematics classroom instruction. For such a large-scale international education measurement project, the research and development of test questions is very important. Therefore, detailed technical consideration has been carried out and test volumes have been designed that are relatively suitable for different countries. The test questions are closely related to life, while there are few questions related to real situational problems in the test, which are mathematically processed first. Due to the international background of evaluation, it is a great challenge for researchers to realize the localization of evaluation on the basis of adapting to the domestic situation. At the same time, there is no scientific and perfect mathematical modelling literacy evaluation system in China’s basic education research. How can middle school front-line teachers better evaluate students’ mathematical modelling literacy? As a result, it is critical to develop a scientific and quantitative mathematical literacy measurement model that will aid in the teaching and research of mathematical modelling by middle school front-line teachers, as well as contributing theoretically to the evaluation and research of mathematical modelling literacy in China. Therefore, based on mathematics literacy evaluation, this paper studies the hierarchy of the IoT and the measurement and evaluation model of mathematics literacy based on the IoT, as well as its enlightenment to the compilation of mathematics academic test questions in China.
