We started with a classic research question (How do teachers motivate and engage middle year students in mathematics?) that is solidly underpinned and guided by an integration of two theoretical and multidimensional models. In particular, the current study illustrates how theory is important for guiding qualitative analytical approaches to motivation and engagement in mathematics. With little ...

This volume documents a range of qualitative research approaches emerged within mathematics education over the last three decades, whilst at the same time revealing their underlying methodologies. Continuing the discussion as begun in the two 2003 ZDM issues dedicated to qualitative empirical methods, this book presents astate of the art ...

The contributions of qualitative research in mathematics education require complex analyses of, often, implicit phenomena (e.g., thinking, classroom norms, learning, affect). I define qualitative data analysis as a process of working with data, so that more can be gleaned from the data than would be available from merely reading, viewing, or ...

It is important that researchers are aware of the limitations associated with these methods so that measures are put in place to try and minimize the effects of these limitations Philosophical roots and key features of this paradigm are outlined. ... Despite being relatively new in mathematics education research, qualitative research approaches ...

The qualitative research paradigm has a deep philosophical significance. The aim of this chapter is to address some of the general epistemological and foun-dational issues and implications concerning qualitative research in mathematics education and to relate the paradigm to broader developments in 20th-century thought-especially postmodernist ...

This book discusses the combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods in mathematics education-A "Mixed Methods" study on the development of the professional knowledge of teachers and the role of triangulation and cultural studies. Part 1: Grounded theory methodology. Chapter 1: Anne R. Teppo. Grounded Theory Methods. Chapter 2: Maike Vollstedt. To see the wood for the trees ...

Research Design. This study is a qualitative inquiry research aiming to identify the high school students' struggles and challenges in Mathematics. Using a broad methodology known as a qualitative inquiry research, qualitative researchers can investigate social situations.

While many books and articles guide various qualitative research methods and analyses, there is currently no concise resource that explains and differentiates among the most common qualitative approaches. We believe novice qualitative researchers, students planning the design of a qualitative study or taking an introductory qualitative research course, and faculty teaching such courses can ...

techniques in mathematics. Qualitative research methods were employed, primarily case studies. 40 teachers were randomly chosen from various secondary schools in ... techniques in mathematics courses are important, because they may reveal their ability to address the needs of students at different learning levels. The study began with a

To answer research question 2, a t-test for independent samples was conducted to explore whether there is any gender—based difference in the six domains of the MAQ: Interest toward Math, Future career in Math, Importance of Math, Math instructor, Difficulty, Equipment.

The effects of peer tutoring in Mathematics have been documented during more than four decades. The original research by Harris and Sherman (1973) and Fogarty and Wang (1982) was followed by hundreds of studies in the field. The last studies in the field conclude that students' interactions during peer tutoring have positive significant effects on students' mathematics learning (Alegre et ...

This research aims to uncover current trends and key issues by examining the research in mathematics education during the period 2017-2021. For this purpose, five major peer reviewed academic journals ... The importance of mathematics education comes from the fact that mathematics is a basic human ... These quantitative or qualitative ...

Arguably the most difficult aspect of qualitative research in mathematics education is the analysis of data. With improvements in technology, design of mathematical tasks, and interview techniques, mathematics education researchers are able to generate and record rich sets of qualitative data. However, the weak link in many mathematics ...

In her new book, Math-ish: Finding Creativity, Diversity, and Meaning in Mathematics, Boaler argues for a broad, inclusive approach to math education, offering strategies and activities for ...

Methods: We performed a qualitative study with a rapid research approach. Participants were LTCWs of the autonomous community of Catalonia. We conducted 30 semistructured interviews between April and September 2022. We used a qualitative content analysis method with an inductive-deductive approach.

Before the pandemic (2019), we asked: On what themes should research in mathematics education focus in the coming decade? The 229 responses from 44 countries led to eight themes plus considerations about mathematics education research itself. The themes can be summarized as teaching approaches, goals, relations to practices outside mathematics education, teacher professional development ...

Prior quantitative research examining the effect of perfectionism on job performance has yielded mixed findings, possibly due to the complex nature of this personality trait and how it shapes employees' performance. This qualitative study sought to gain an in-depth, person-centred understanding of how employees perceive perfectionism influences their job performance. Semistructured ...

The research utilised a pre-post qualitative descriptive design.
