Enhancing mathematical learning outcomes through a low-cost single-channel BCI system.

This study investigates the effectiveness of a Low-Cost Single-Channel BCI system in improving mathematical learning outcomes, self-efficacy, and alpha power in university students. Eighty participants were randomly assigned to either a BCI group receiving real-time neurofeedback based on alpha rhythms or a sham feedback group. Results showed that the BCI group had significantly higher mathematical performance, self-efficacy, and alpha power compared to the sham feedback group. Mathematics performance, alpha wave intensity, and self-efficacy showed significant positive correlations after training, indicating that neurofeedback training may have promoted their interaction and integration. These findings demonstrate the potential of BCI technology in enhancing mathematical learning outcomes and highlight the importance of considering pre-test performance and self-efficacy in predicting learning outcomes, with implications for personalized learning interventions and the integration of BCI technology in educational settings.

The sampling system used non-random sampling of 30 students in the experimental class and 30 students in the control class. The instrument used was an essay test that had been validated and tested for reliability. In data analysis, tests for analysis requirements were conducted through tests of normality (Kolmogorov-Smirnov) and homogeneity, while hypothesis testing used independent sample t-test with SPSS version 29.0.0.0. Based on the analysis, it was found that the average learning outcomes of the experimental class using think pair share supported by wordwall were 79.75, which was significantly better than the average learning outcomes of the control class students using conventional learning, which scored 70.25. The t-test result obtained a sig value (2-tailed) of 0.003 (0.003 < 0.005), hence Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that in this study, there is an influence of the think pair share supported by wordwall learning model on the mathematics learning outcomes of fifth-grade elementary school students.

Teachers’ Perceptions towards Practical Instruction Approach in Teaching Mathematics: A case of Selected Teachers in Ugandan Secondary Schools

Globally, there is a need to address learners' academic achievement, which has historically been poor, particularly in underdeveloped countries. Practical instruction (PI) approach has been perceived by many teachers as a better teaching strategy. Students in Ugandan secondary schools have consistently performed poorly in their O'Level national mathematics examinations. This has been attributed to teachers' failure to teach these students with practical approach in some examinable topics, making the subject very abstract to candidates. This qualitative case study analyzed teachers' perceptions of the practical instruction approach to teaching mathematics and its impact on students' academic achievement in mathematics. Sixteen teachers from chosen secondary schools in Kigezi and Ankole regions were interviewed for the study in order to understand more about their opinions on the value and use of practical instruction in the teaching and learning of mathematics. The data gathered were analyzed using thematic analysis. The study showed that teachers regard PI as one of the best teaching methodologies since it incorporates components that help improve students' creativity and critical thinking. The study also indicated that teachers' perceptions of practical instruction approaches for teaching mathematics are diverse and influenced by a variety of circumstances. Creating supportive settings, offering professional development opportunities, and providing access to resources can assist teachers in effectively incorporating practical instruction methodologies into their teaching practice, resulting in improved student learning outcomes in mathematics. It is recommended that teachers should be well prepared before commencing the teaching and learning process, including all PI components.

Searching for differential effects of the dynamic approach to teacher professional development: a study on promoting formative assessment

ABSTRACT The Dynamic Approach (DA) to Teacher Professional Development (TPD) stresses the importance of identifying specific needs and improvement priorities for each teacher. A framework measuring teacher assessment skills was used and teachers were classified into three stages. The skills identified at each stage were used to make decisions in relation to the focus and content of the TPD course. A study in four European countries (i.e. Belgium, Cyprus, Greece and the Netherlands) was conducted. Teachers (N = 206) were randomly allocated into two groups (experimental and control group). A questionnaire measuring teachers’ skills in assessment and tests measuring students’ learning outcomes in mathematics (cognitive and metacognitive) were administered at the beginning and the end of the course. The DA was effective in improving the assessment skills of teachers at all stages. Differential effects of DA on promoting student learning outcomes in mathematics were identified. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Mental imagery in education: What impact on the relationships with visuospatial processing and school performance in junior high school students?

This study examined the relationship between mental imagery, visuospatial processing, and academic performance among junior high school students. The influence of these variables on learning outcomes in Italian, mathematics, art, and music was also investigated. Third-year students were tested using the Mental Imagery Test and Raven's Progressive Matrices. Gender differences were explored, revealing no significant differences in mental imagery and visuospatial processing. Higher mental imagery correlated with better academic performance, particularly in Italian and mathematics. Visuospatial processing mediated the relationship between mental imagery and academic performance in Italian and mathematics, suggesting its significant role in these subjects. However, this mediation was not significant for music and art, suggesting the involvement of alternative cognitive mechanisms. These findings highlight the importance of mental imagery and visuospatial processing in academic success, particularly in abstract subjects, and advocate for educational strategies targeting these cognitive domains to enhance not only student performance but also creativity and thinking skills.

The Efforts to Improve Mathematics Learning Outcomes in Sequences and Series Materials Using a Problem Based Learning Model with a Differentiated Strategy

The failure to integrate differentiated learning in the classroom is the driving force behind this research. Mapping students’ learning needs is the first step in implementing individualized instruction in the classroom. Learning readiness, student interests, and learning profiles are three views on differentiated learning that can be used to map out students’ requirements. The purpose of this study is to enhance student learning experiences and results. Two devices are used for data collection: learning achievement exams and student activity observation sheets. Both descriptive statistical analysis and descriptive analysis were used to analyse the data. The average class score was 74 in the first cycle and improved to 84.4 in the second. Every student was able to meet the 75-point Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM) set by the school. It is possible to enhance student learning activities and outcomes by combining differentiated learning with the Problem Based Learning model, according to the study’s findings. In addition to offering a learning environment that puts students’ needs first, problem-based learning activities also benefit formative and summative learning through the third step of differentiation.
