Abstract

Understanding and applying mathematical representation are essential in math education. However, many students face challenges in effectively using mathematical representation. Previous research has mainly focused on evaluating students' proficiency in mathematical representation rather than developing strategies to improve their skills. This has led to limited insights into research trends and information related to mathematical representation. Therefore, this SLR is crucial to fill the gap in the literature by providing a comprehensive overview of research trends on mathematical representation. This the study aims to analyze previous research related to mathematical representation, particularly the connection between the theories used, methodological features, the relationship between subjects and mathematical representation skills, as well as learning barriers and interventions to enhance these skills. At the end of the study, it was concluded that the relationship between all these variables was concluded. An examination of 52 scholarly papers on mathematical representation showed that most studies focus on assessing students' ability to use different types of mathematical representation to solve problems, drawing on theories proposed by Goldin and standards outlined by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). The review also highlighted students' difficulties with mathematical representation and identified various methods for evaluating it, with written assessments and interviews being the most common approaches. Additionally, the review revealed numerous recommended activities to help students enhance their mathematical representation competency. In conclusion, the theoretical framework used in these studies significantly influences evaluation methods and recommended interventions in this field of study.

Abstract

Reflective thinking and self-efficacy are two crucial constructs in education, particularly in mathematics education, and both have been reported to share a positive relationship across various contexts. However, empirical findings regarding the strength of this relationship remain inconsistent. This study presents a meta-analysis to investigate the relationship between reflective thinking and self-efficacy by addressing four research questions: (1) What is the overall strength of the relationship between reflective thinking and self-efficacy? (2) Is there significant heterogeneity among the studies? (3) Do the year of study, country, participants, educational level, and sample size serve as moderators? (4) How can the findings of this meta-analysis be integrated into mathematics learning practices? A total of 28 articles meeting the inclusion criteria were synthesized from the Scopus, ScienceDirect, and ERIC databases, following the PRISMA search protocol. The analysis involved calculating effect sizes, estimating a random-effects model, testing for heterogeneity, analyzing moderator variables, and examining publication bias. The results revealed a positive and statistically significant relationship between reflective thinking and self-efficacy (t(27) = 5.56, p < 0.001). The heterogeneity analysis indicated substantial variation among the included studies. Moderator analysis indicated that participant characteristics were a significant source of this variability, with pre-service mathematics teachers representing one of the key contributing groups. These findings highlight the importance of integrating reflective activities into mathematics learning in ways that are responsive to learner characteristics across educational levels. The results also underscore the need for future research to examine theory-driven pedagogical moderators to further clarify the mechanisms linking reflective thinking and self-efficacy.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the development, topic interconnections, and global research directions in the field of Deep Learning during the period 2019–2024, while also examining its implications for teaching statistical mathematics in the digital era. A bibliometric approach was used to analyze publication trends, citation patterns, and keyword relationships with the assistance of VOSviewer software. Data were obtained from the Scopus database using the main keywords “Deep Learning,” “Neural Networks,” and “Artificial Intelligence.” The results indicate that peak research activity occurred in 2022 with a significant surge in citations, followed by a decline in 2023–2024, marking a phase of research stabilization. Network analysis revealed that topics such as computer vision, medical imaging, and unsupervised learning dominate, while emerging trends like federated learning and edge computing are beginning to develop toward privacy and computational efficiency. Geographically, the United States and China are the main contributors to scientific publications, followed by Germany, the United Kingdom, and Australia. These findings highlight that the core success of Deep Learning is fundamentally grounded in statistical mathematics, particularly in optimization and probabilistic modeling. Accordingly, the implications for teaching statistical mathematics involve reorienting curricula toward applied, data-driven contexts emphasizing probabilistic thinking, algorithmic reasoning, and the integration of computational tools. Such an approach encourages students to bridge theoretical understanding with real-world problem solving in artificial intelligence and data science.

Abstract

This paper examines social constructivism as a learning theory and its implications in mathematics learning. The study followed a conceptual qualitative paradigm. The researcher used secondary data obtained from journal articles, e-books, periodicals and websites. Social constructivism emphasizes active construction of knowledge by learners through interaction with others and the environment. According to the theory, the learner understands the world through experiencing it. Reality is socially constructed and it depends on individual interpretation. In mathematics learning, the theory implies that mathematics tasks make sense to the learners if they solve real life problems. Mathematics learners should not simply memorise concepts, but should critically analyse their own and other people’s mathematical perspectives. More marks should be awarded for the thought process than for the final solution to a mathematical task.   Mathematics learning should be taken beyond the classroom. Formal mathematics learning can be built atop the knowledge gained by the learners through culturally performed tasks. The mathematics learners should view their teacher as a facilitator, co-learner, co-explorer and co-constructor of knowledge. Teaching strategies that promote collaboration and active participation of learners are desirable. Peer and self assessment help to foster active and interactive mathematics learning.

Abstract

Frequent curriculum changes disrupt instructional rhythms and stigmatize lecture methods, creating "unrealistic" situations within mathematics education research. Current trends demand total innovation, such as PBL or PjBL across all chapters, which is logistically impossible without sacrificing curriculum completion. This study aims to conceptualize the "pedagogical anchor" as a rational and professional response to maintain instructional stability. Employing a critical literature review of previous theses and dissertations, the research compares preparation-to-coverage ratios between experimental settings and real-classroom demands. Findings reveal a significant scale anomaly where "successful" innovations are often limited to single chapters and lack long-term sustainability due to workload mismatches. The study concludes that strategic lecturing serves as a necessary anchor for cognitive stability rather than an anti-innovation stance. It recommends a shift toward an integrated longitudinal research model that supports teachers throughout the academic year. This approach is essential to prevent collective fatigue and ensure meaningful, sustainable educational innovation.

Abstract

This research involves time series analysis and forecasting of the Ordinary Level Mathematics results. During 2008 to 2009 many educators had left the country seeking higher salaries, leading to severe staff shortages in schools. This and other reasons were anticipated to impact negatively on “O” Level Mathematics results. Data for the years 2010 to 2022 were collected from one high school in Bulawayo. The data were meticulously analysed, with a particular emphasis on identifying the underlying trend through data smoothing techniques. Advanced computer software R studio was used to conduct regression analysis and generate trend lines and time series graphs. Additionally, an ARIMA (autoregressive integrated moving average) forecasting model was applied to forecast and predict the school’s future pass rate in Ordinary Level Mathematics. Interviews with the 10 qualified teachers at the school were carried out to identify potential causes for changes in the pass rate of Mathematics at the High School. By understanding how pass rates may evolve over time, stakeholders like parents, the school and government authorities can make informed decisions and implement strategic measures to enhance academic performance in the long run. The study noted that the pass rate of the school was going to slightly improve, and the school was therefore recommended to deploy the hardworking teachers, who had a history of improving the pass rate to the examination writing classes so that the pass rate could increase uniformly and to give them more teaching and revision time and incentives. The study also recommends further research.

Abstract

This study presents a systematic review of the current literature on the integration of adaptive learning and generative AI (GenAI) in developing technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) and statistical literacy of prospective mathematics teachers. By analyzing 76 selected articles published between January 2023 and May 2025, this study uses the PRISMA framework and thematic synthesis with the help of NVivo 12 Plus software. The results of the study indicate that adaptive learning environments supported by GenAI can strengthen learning personalization, provide responsive feedback, and visualize content, which significantly contribute to the development of TPACK, especially in the TPK and TCK domains. In addition, GenAI supports the strengthening of statistical literacy through data-driven instructional tools that foster the ability to interpret, represent, and understand the context of data. This study successfully formulated a conceptual framework for adaptive learning integrated with GenAI that reflects the pedagogical needs and specific content in mathematics education. These findings have important implications for teacher education programs, especially in facilitating professional competencies that are adaptive to technological advances and the demands of ethical and reflective data-driven learning.

Abstract

The integration of the history of mathematics (HOM) into mathematics instruction has gained increasing scholarly attention as educators seek approaches that deepen conceptual understanding, foster epistemological awareness, and situate mathematics within broader cultural and historical contexts. Despite this growing interest, findings regarding its pedagogical value, instructional design principles, and implementation challenges remain dispersed across diverse empirical studies. This study presents a descriptive systematic review of research published between 2000 and 2025 examining the integration of historical perspectives in mathematics education. Following PRISMA-style procedures, 18 empirical studies were identified through a multi-stage screening process based on predefined Thematic synthesis revealed that HOM integration contributes to cognitive–conceptual development, sociocultural identity formation, engagement and affective dimensions, and interdisciplinary connections, including evidence that historically structured tasks can support students’ understanding of foundational mathematical concepts by situating them within meaningful problem contexts. However, these benefits are mediated by instructional design coherence and are constrained by factors such as teacher preparation, curriculum pressures, and assessment alignment. The review suggests that HOM functions not merely as enrichment content but as a pedagogical lens capable of reshaping how mathematical knowledge and learning are conceptualised. Effective implementation therefore requires principled instructional design and systemic support across curriculum, teacher education, and assessment structures.

Abstract

Research on ethnomathematics-based Realistic Mathematics Education (Ethno-RME) has grown significantly in recent years, particularly in relation to its potential to support meaningful and culturally grounded mathematics learning. However, there remains limited systematic understanding of how multiple mathematical representations function within this framework, especially in facilitating representational transitions and conceptual understanding. This study aims to synthesize and analyze research on Multiple Mathematical Representations (MMR) within Ethno-RME through a Systematic Literature Review. The review identifies the types of representations employed, their roles in the mathematization process, and their contributions to mathematics learning outcomes. A systematic procedure consisting of planning, conducting, and reporting stages was implemented. Articles were retrieved from the Scopus database using the Publish or Perish tool and selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in ten eligible peer-reviewed studies published between 2016 and 2025. The findings indicate that Ethno-RME consistently promotes the development and coordination of multiple representations, including visual, symbolic, verbal, contextual, and technological forms. Cultural contexts function as meaningful entry points that initiate representational construction and facilitate the transition from informal situational models to formal mathematical abstraction through progressive mathematization. The synthesis further reveals that representational coordination enhances conceptual understanding, problem-solving ability, numeracy skills, creativity, and higher-order thinking. Moreover, mathematical representation emerges as a bridging role linking contextual experience and formal reasoning. Overall, this review establishes that multiple mathematical representations constitute a foundational mechanism within ethnomathematics-based RME, supporting meaningful, culturally grounded, and conceptually robust mathematics learning.
