Out-of-school environments offer a unique opportunity for experiental learning which transcends the role of educational resources and teachers. This article introduces the special topic of out-of-school learning in science and mathematics education. First, we present the theoretical underpinnings from the movement towards crossing the boundaries of school in educational practices and broadening educational spaces. We continue with the key facets of out-of-school learning through a constructivist approach, aided by the concept of mediation environments as the third educator from a socio-material perspective. Furthermore, we focus our discussion on a selection of articles from this special number as an international overview on out-of-school learning. In the conclusion section, we discuss the gaps that the following works fill, as well as new questions that arise in the area. The closing remarks highlight the promotion of active learning in students, considering the role of the environment as the third educator.

As computer literacy and programming ability increase at the elementary and junior high school levels, more thought must be given to the role of computers in mathematics learning. One step to be taken at the high school level is to accept Gerald Rising's (1983) suggestion to separate computer science and mathematics. This proposal is an excellent one and would help us to focus on ways to improve mathematics learning through the use of computers.

Mathematics studied in SMK should have relevance with student competencies to support vocational school education goals. This study aims to explore the role of mathematics in the Vegetable Processing Production Subject. This subject is studied by students of the Agricultural Product Processing Agribusiness Competency Vocational School. This research uses a qualitative approach. The role of mathematics in the production of vegetable processing is explored from the perspective of productive teachers and documents. The analysis to explore the role of mathematics and its relevance to mathematics content and mathematics learning. The results show that the role of mathematics is to calculate and measure the various needs for tools, materials, and business planning analysis for the production of vegetable processing. The role of mathematics has relevance to the mathematical content of numbers and measurements. The integration of vegetable product processing production contexts can be done to construct a mathematical concept or present a mathematical task situation as an effort to develop mathematical understanding by student expertise.

AbstractThis study examined teachers’ perceptions of the role of teacher aides in mathematics classrooms in rural and remote Indigenous communities. Twelve teachers from three schools in rural and remote Queensland participated in the study. The results from the first year of the project indicated that there were differences in how these teachers worked with their teacher aides, particularly the specific roles assigned to them in the mathematics classroom, with non-Indigenous teacher aides being given greater responsibilities for student learning and Indigenous teacher aides for behavioural management. As a result of teacher aide in-service on mathematics learning, teachers’ perception of the Indigenous teacher aides changed, resulting in each being given greater responsibility for student learning.

Education has a very central role in building quality human resources in order to survive and live life in a global era full of competition, so we need a pattern of science learning that is oriented to the paradigm of technology-based learning. Science, Technology, Engineering, And Mathematics learning is one of learning that is able to develop the competencies of students to solve problems faced in everyday life through the use of technology. Since the role of teachers in education is very important, preservice teachers of primay school must have a deep knowledge of science. In other words, preservice teachers of primay school must have good scientific literacy. scientific literacy is one of the important aspects that must be mastered by preservice teachers of primay school, because it influences the learning process in elementary school. scientific literacy is very important to solve various problems related to ethics, morals and global issues due to rapid changes in the fields of science and technology.

Abstract. Communication is an essential part of mathematics and mathematics education. Communication is also a way to share ideas and classify understanding. Geometry in elementary school (SD) on the one hand is a very strategic mathematics study to encourage mathematics learning towards appreciation and experience of learning by making the learning meaningful. Van Hiele suggests that there are three main elements in the teaching of geometry, namely time, teaching materials, and teaching methods applied. One of the things that hinder a student's geometric thinking skills is the teaching methods employed by teachers in the classroom. The role of teachers in the 21st century includes "teacher as learners - who always improve and renew their knowledge". Teachers should be able to create an independent learning atmosphere which captivates and attracts students to learn in a pleasant atmosphere. One technology that can be applied is learning multimedia. Multimedia in learning covers several aspects of the synergy between text, graphics, images and animation. The use of multimedia is expected to enhance the learning of mathematics as it allows a wider exploration and can improve the presentation of mathematical ideas.Keywords: Interactive Multimedia, Geometry, Communication CapabilitiesAbstrak, Komunikasi merupakan bagian yang esensial dari matematika dan pendidikan matematika. Komunikasi juga merupakan cara untuk berbagi gagasan dan mengklasifikasikan pemahaman.Geometri di sekolah dasar (SD) di satu pihak merupakan kajian matematika yang sangat strategis untuk mendorong pembelajaran matematika ke arah apresiasi dan pengalaman matematika dengan cara belajar matematika secara bermakna. Van Hiele mengemukakan bahwa terdapat tiga unsur utama dalam pengajaran geometri, yaitu waktu, materi pengajaran, dan metode pengajaran yang diterapkan. Salah satu hal yang menghambat kemampuan berpikir geometri seorang siswa adalah metode pengajaran yang diterapkan oleh guru di kelas. Peran guru pada abad ke-21 diantaranya adalah “teacher as learners – who always improve and renew theri knowledge”. Guru harus dapat menciptakan suatu pembelarajan yang berpotensi menciptakan suasana belajar mandiri, serta mampu memikat dan menarik siswa untuk belajar dalam suasana yang menyenangkan. Salah satu teknologi yang dapat diterapkan dalam pembelajaran adalah penggunaan multimedia dalam pembelajaran. Multimedia dalam pembelajaran mencakup beberapa aspek yang bersinergi antara teks, grafik, gambar dan animasi. Melalui multimedia diharapkan dapat meningkatkan proses belajar matematika karena memungkinkan eksplorasi yang lebih luas dan dapat memperbaiki penyajian ide-ide matematika.Kata Kunci : Multimedia interaktif, Geometri, Kemampuan Komunikasi

Recent research has pointed to two possible causes of mathematical (dis-)ability: working memory and number sense, although only few studies have compared the relations between working memory and mathematics and between number sense and mathematics. In this study, both constructs were studied in relation to mathematics in general, and to mathematical learning disabilities (MLD) in particular. The sample consisted of 154 children aged between 6 and 10 years, including 26 children with MLD. Children performing low on either number sense or visual-spatial working memory scored lower on math tests than children without such a weakness. Children with a double weakness scored the lowest. These results confirm the important role of both visual-spatial working memory and number sense in mathematical development.
