Abstract

A growth mindset is the belief that one's intellect and abilities may develop through effort. This mindset suggests that intelligence is not fixed but adaptable. With the continuous growth in literature on the growth mindset in mathematics, there is a need to investigate the current trends from a bibliometric perspective. To meet this need, the leading countries, source citations, author co-citations, and word co-occurrences were examined. A total of 317 articles were retrieved from the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases spanning 2014–2023. The VOSviewer software was used to analyze the collected data. The United States was the leading contributor to growth mindset research, Frontiers in Psychology emerged as the major source of citations, with Dweck being the most cited author. The word co-occurrence map was grouped into different clusters. The Scopus database shows how belief systems shape mindsets and how motivation intersects with clinical and longitudinal investigations. WoS emphasizes the importance of interventions that narrow belief-achievement gaps, as well as the role of technology. These findings offer valuable insights into the expanding body of research on growth mindset in mathematics, paving the way for further research to explore interventions, cultural influences, and long-term effects on student outcomes.

Abstract

Teacher training is a key aspect for the success of any educational system and it is a prior challenge to face in-depth in Zambia. This study explores some dimensions of prospective secondary mathematics teachers’ subject-matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge restricted to the topic of the function concept. Data were collected by means of a questionnaire that was administered to a sample of 150 prospective teachers enrolled at two public universities in Copperbelt, Zambia. A two step cluster analysis was used to reveal natural grouping within the data set obtained. As a result, a two-cluster solution was revealed as the solution that best profiled the data, with participants within both clusters scoring low in the knowledge domains under consideration. To further understand the results a one-way between-subjects multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and a follow-up discriminant function analysis (DFA) were also conducted. Common content knowledge was shown to be the most important factor in discriminating between prospective teachers in Cluster 1 and those in Cluster 2. The knowledge inadequacies identified are certainly worrisome and are likely to be transferred to young learners at secondary schools. Consequently, it is necessary to address with some urgency certain reforms in educational policies for teacher training programs in Zambia.

Abstract

Social media technologies have reshaped our lives today and Zambian teachers do a massive use of smart phones, tablets, and other portable tools. In addition, they are continually searching for forefront innovations. Frequently, the utilization of these gadgets is not in manners foreseen by innovation advocates. This study focuses on exploring the use of social media platforms and the impact of such social networking services in the teaching and learning of mathematics by pre-service teachers. To explore pre-service teachers’ use of social media in their teaching and learning experiences, the authors administered an adapted and validated research instrument via a quantitative survey system to a sample of 102 pre-service teachers from the Copperbelt University. Analysis of variance and multiple regression analysis were used to test the interplay of relationships between pre-service teachers’ attitudes towards the use of social media based on year of study and gender, social media use and classroom integration, social media use, and mathematics pedagogy. Further, a statistical test was run to show whether positive correlations existed or not. Results disclosed that respondents showed an average use of social media tools in mathematics and provide a prediction model for pre-service teachers’ future integration of social media in the teaching and learning of mathematics.
