Abstract

Mathematical reasoning constitutes a fundamental component of mathematics learning; nonetheless, many students encounter persistent challenges in developing this competence beyond procedural problem solving. This challenge reflects a persistent discrepancy between the expectations of higher-order thinking emphasized in curricula and the instructional practices typically enacted in classrooms. Addressing this issue requires learning designs that guide students not only in executing procedures but also in constructing, interpreting, and justifying the mathematical meaning underlying given situations. One promising direction involves integrating Situation-Based Learning (SBL) with semantic analysis within the framework of a Hypothetical Learning Trajectory (HLT). Despite such potential, systematic incorporation of semantic elements into SBL-oriented learning trajectories remains underexplored in prior research. Accordingly, this study sought to design an HLT that fosters students’ mathematical reasoning by embedding semantic scaffolds within situation-based learning tasks. The research employed the preliminary stage of design research, concentrating on the theoretical formulation and development of the learning trajectory, subsequently followed by a small-scale pilot implementation. The design process encompassed theoretical analysis, task development, expert validation, and a pilot involving 20 junior secondary school students. Students’ written responses were analyzed through a mathematical reasoning framework encompassing interpretative, symbolic, and justificatory reasoning. Expert evaluation produced an average score of 3.84 on a four-point scale, indicating both conceptual soundness and practical feasibility. Findings from the pilot implementation suggest that semantic scaffolding effectively supports students in progressing from contextual interpretation toward symbolic representation and justification of mathematical solutions. Finally, the findings provide preliminary evidence that a semantically oriented learning trajectory can enhance the development of students’ mathematical reasoning.

Abstract

Mathematics instruction in higher education is increasingly delivered through offline, online, and blended modalities, each characterized by distinct assessment practices. However, the heterogeneity of these instructional arrangements often results in inconsistent learning outcomes and poses challenges for valid measurement of student performance. This study examines the interaction between learning modality—specifically blended learning—and assessment type on students’ mathematics achievement, while explicitly controlling for initial mathematical ability. A quasi-experimental design employing a three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted with first-year Informatics Engineering students at Universitas Bina Darma, Indonesia. Descriptive statistics (minimum, maximum, mean, median, mode, variance, and standard deviation) were computed to summarize the data, followed by inferential analyses testing main, interaction, and simple effects. The results revealed a significant interaction effect between blended learning and assessment type, moderated by students’ initial mathematical ability. Students with high prior mathematical ability achieved superior outcomes when participating in blended learning combined with online assessment compared to offline assessment. Similarly, students with low prior mathematical ability demonstrated better performance under online assessment conditions than in offline contexts. Overall, these findings indicate that the integration of online assessment within blended learning environments can enhance student engagement and mathematics achievement across varying ability levels. The results carry important implications for the instructional design and assessment strategies employed in university-level mathematics education.

Abstract

Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices (IKSP) are central to culturally grounded and equitable education; however, their conceptual structure and enactment within mathematics instruction remain difficult to specify and empirically assess. Although culturally responsive education and ethnomathematics frameworks emphasize the integration of Indigenous knowledge, there is a lack of validated measurement tools that capture how IKSP is operationalized in classroom mathematics practices. Addressing this gap, the present study aims to develop and validate an instrument for measuring the enactment of IKSP in mathematics education. Guided by culturally responsive education and ethnomathematics perspectives, an initial pool of 40 items was generated from relevant literature and policy documents within the national Indigenous Peoples Education policy framework. Following expert review, the instrument was administered to 204 Indigenous students in Northern Luzon, Philippines. Exploratory factor analysis using principal axis factoring with promax rotation was conducted to examine the instrument’s underlying structure. The analysis resulted in a refined 16-item scale with a four-factor solution—non-restricting, considering, being cautious, and teaching resource appropriating—accounting for 54.17% of the total variance. The scale demonstrated strong internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .88). Descriptive findings indicate that students perceive these IKSP-related practices as present in their mathematics learning experiences. The four factors were interpreted as interrelated dimensions of IKSP, yielding an empirically grounded framework that clarifies how Indigenous knowledge is structured and enacted within mathematics instruction. The validated instrument operationalizes this framework through measurable indicators of practice and functions as a diagnostic tool to support teacher reflection and inform the monitoring of Indigenous education policies. Overall, the findings suggest that IKSP in mathematics education is best conceptualized as a multidimensional construct and provide a reference for future research seeking to measure Indigenous knowledge integration in diverse educational contexts.

Abstract

Escalating global sustainability crises have intensified the need for teacher education programs to prepare mathematics teachers capable of fostering sustainability key competencies through meaningful classroom practices. Although Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has gained prominence, limited empirical research has examined how pre-service mathematics teachers operationalize sustainability competencies within mathematics activity design, particularly following short, targeted instructional interventions. Addressing this gap, the present study explores how pre-service mathematics teachers design mathematics classroom activities aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and examines the extent to which a brief training sequence influences the manifestation of sustainability key competencies in their designs. The study involved 54 pre-service mathematics teachers at a Vietnamese university, working in 27 pairs. Each pair designed a lower-secondary mathematics activity linked to a single SDG before and after a three-week design cycle that included a focused workshop on ESD and project-based learning principles as design heuristics. An analytic rubric adapted from prior research was employed to assess five sustainability key competencies—systems thinking, anticipatory thinking, critical thinking, self-awareness, and integrated problem-solving—operationalized through six competence units on a four-level ordered scale (NE, Basic, Integrated, Advanced). Two researchers independently coded all designs, resolved discrepancies through discussion, and analyzed the data using descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests. The results indicate that participants addressed ten SDGs, with predominant emphasis on health and responsible consumption themes, data handling and algebra content, and Grade 8 contexts. Post-training designs demonstrated higher competency levels across all units, with the most substantial gains observed in systems thinking, anticipatory thinking, critical thinking, and self-awareness. These findings suggest that even brief, structured training can meaningfully enhance pre-service teachers’ capacity to design mathematics activities that foreground sustainability competencies, offering both empirical evidence and a practical assessment tool for mathematics teacher education.

Abstract

Culturally significant artifacts have long been recognized in ethnomathematics as sites where mathematical ideas are embedded and expressed through visual and symbolic forms. However, research remains limited on how such artifacts—particularly those originating beyond local classroom cultures—can be systematically analyzed to reveal mathematical structures relevant to school mathematics. Addressing this gap, the present study explores the mathematical concepts embedded in Palestinian Keffiyeh motifs and examines their potential relevance for mathematics learning, with a particular focus on geometry. Adopting a qualitative autoethnographic approach, the study draws on narrative writing and dialogic engagement with relevant literature to examine recurring structural patterns within Keffiyeh designs. The analysis identifies three central mathematical structures: tessellation generated through geometric transformations, hierarchical composition of planar shapes, and layered symmetry operating at both global and sub-unit levels. To enhance interpretive rigor and curricular alignment, an in-depth interview was conducted with a mathematics education expert to validate the identified mathematical interpretations and clarify their correspondence with school-level geometry concepts. The findings suggest that Keffiyeh motifs exemplify sophisticated geometric organization and reveal cross-cultural commonalities in mathematical patterning found in culturally meaningful artifacts. From a pedagogical perspective, these motifs offer rich contexts for geometry instruction through visualization tasks, construction and decomposition activities, and formative assessment of students’ geometric reasoning. While the study does not provide empirical classroom-based evidence, it contributes conceptually and methodologically to ethnomathematics by demonstrating how reflective and dialogic inquiry can be used to systematically uncover mathematical meaning in cultural artifacts. Limitations related to interpretive subjectivity are acknowledged, and directions for future classroom-based and cross-cultural research are outlined.

Abstract

Mathematics education continues to encounter enduring challenges in fostering students’ mathematical reasoning and conceptual understanding, particularly in geometry, where learning frequently remains procedural and empirically driven. This study reports a participatory design research (PDR) project that operationalized a Didactical Situation–Based Online Learning (DS-OL) approach to enhance eighth-grade students’ mathematical reasoning (MR) and understanding (MU) in the topic of lines and angles. The research involved 120 students and 16 mathematics teachers, implemented through four iterative PDR phases: co-exploration, co-design, iterative implementation, and collaborative analysis. Diagnostic findings from the co-exploration phase indicated a predominance of instrumental understanding and empirically or authority-based reasoning, informing critical design decisions. During the co-design phase, principles from the Theory of Didactical Situations were transformed into online learning components structured around action, formulation, validation, and institutionalization, and were iteratively refined across two implementation cycles. Across these cycles, significant improvements were observed in students’ MR and MU, including marked pre–post gains (mean scores increasing from 65.00 to 83.79; Cohen’s d = 2.60) and shifts toward more deductive reasoning and relational understanding. Framed within a design-based epistemology, these findings are interpreted as design-supported enhancements rather than evidence of causal effectiveness. The study contributes to design-based knowledge by articulating empirically grounded principles for operationalizing didactical situations within online geometry learning environments.

Abstract

The development of creative thinking has emerged as a central objective in contemporary mathematics education, reflecting the need to cultivate higher-order cognitive competencies essential for twenty-first-century learning. While ethnomathematics provides culturally situated contexts that enhance the relevance and meaning of mathematical concepts, augmented reality (AR) offers advanced visualization and engagement opportunities that enrich learning experiences. Nevertheless, empirical investigations that integrate challenge-based learning, ethnomathematics, and AR-assisted media remain scarce. Moreover, limited attention has been given to understanding how students’ self-efficacy influences creative thinking within such an integrative pedagogical framework. This study seeks to evaluate the pedagogical quality of a challenge-based ethnomathematics model supported by an Augmented Reality Comic Book in fostering students’ creative thinking abilities. Specifically, it examines the effect of self-efficacy on creative thinking performance within this model and characterizes students’ creative thinking profiles across different self-efficacy levels. A mixed-methods design employing a concurrent embedded strategy was implemented. Data were collected through creative thinking assessments, self-efficacy questionnaires, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using inferential statistical techniques, while qualitative data underwent systematic analysis through data reduction, display, conclusion drawing, and triangulation procedures. The findings indicate that the proposed instructional model satisfies established quality criteria. Students’ self-efficacy accounts for 52.1% of the variance in creative thinking, with higher self-efficacy levels associated with stronger manifestations of fluency, flexibility, and originality. These results provide empirical evidence for the efficacy of culturally grounded, technology-enhanced challenge-based learning in strengthening students’ creative mathematical competencies and advancing contemporary pedagogical practice.

Abstract

Despite the importance of problem solving in learning probability, research on the characteristics of probability problems in Spanish textbooks remains limited. This study aimed to examine probability problems in compulsory secondary education textbooks published under recent curricular regulations. Using content analysis, we reviewed two complete textbook series comprising 1,435 problems, focusing on problem fields, meanings of probability, types of sample spaces, contexts, and modes of information presentation. Reliability was ensured by applying and systematically refining categories used in previous studies, as well as by computing the intercoder reliability coefficient. The analysis revealed a strong emphasis on the classical meaning of probability, the use of contexts based on random devices, the predominance of calculation‑oriented problems involving simple or compound experiments, the main use of finite sample spaces, and the provision of information verbally. In addition, exercises prevail over illustrative examples, which are almost always proposed merely to apply the theory. We recommend improving probability problems in Spanish secondary education textbooks by balancing the meanings of probability, diversifying contexts, integrating more experimentation, and increasing the variety of sample spaces and linguistic formats used to present information.

Abstract

Proportional reasoning constitutes a foundational competence in learning ratio and proportion. However, numerous junior high school students continue to exhibit reliance on additive reasoning rather than multiplicative reasoning when addressing proportional problems. This study aims to develop a Local Instructional Theory (LIT) that integrates agricultural activities to foster students’ proportional reasoning within the domain of ratio and proportion. Employing a design research methodology of the validation study type, the investigation comprised three interconnected phases: preparation for the experiment, design experiment, and retrospective analysis. The design experiment was conducted in two iterative cycles: a pilot experiment involving eight seventh-grade students and a subsequent teaching experiment involving 31 seventh-grade students from a junior high school in Belitang, Indonesia. Data were collected through student activity sheets, classroom observations, interviews, and assessments, and analyzed qualitatively using retrospective analysis. The findings reveal that agricultural practices—such as rice fertilization, plowing, rice field exploration via Google Earth, and rice planting row marking—serve as meaningful contextual anchors that support students in constructing conceptual understandings of ratio, rate, scale, and proportion. Engagement in these contextually grounded activities enabled students to compare quantities, identify unit rates, and represent proportional relationships through models such as ratio tables and double number lines. These learning trajectories facilitated a gradual shift from additive to multiplicative reasoning. The study underscores the pedagogical potential of authentic agrarian contexts to promote the progressive development of proportional reasoning and to provide a transferable framework for context-based mathematics instruction.

Abstract

This editorial examines the role of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in reshaping the ecology of scholarly writing in mathematics education, with particular attention to the Journal on Mathematics Education (JME). Grounded in the Indonesian context—where most JME authors are doctoral students navigating pressures to publish in English—the piece highlights how GenAI simultaneously functions as a linguistic lifeline and a potential trap that obscures the intellectual labor of research. Drawing on JME's GenAI policy, we argue that journals must protect the core of intellectual work while acknowledging the unequal access to AI tools across institutions and regions. The editorial discusses epistemic risks such as the erasure of authors' "thinking traces" and the emergence of hallucinated references, illustrated by a recent case in which a submission to JME contained fictitious citations generated by GenAI. It then frames JME as a "patch" in the global knowledge ecology, suggesting that GenAI can be leveraged to broaden participation only if its use is transparent, critically monitored, and embedded within practices of ethical mentoring, especially for doctoral writers. We conclude by inviting the JME community—authors, reviewers, and editors—to cultivate educational uses of GenAI that foster critical hope, epistemic justice, and collective responsibility for the future of mathematics education research.
