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.

HOTS instruction in mathematics is rarely explicitly programmed by the schoolteacher. As a result, students' HOTS is at the lowest level, especially in national or international assessments. The purpose of this research is to determine why mathematics education in Indonesia does not have a significant effect on student HOTS by conducting a review of several Indonesian publications on the subject. This research is a qualitative method of literature review related to the HOTS of Indonesian mathematics students, and an organized interview triangulated to support the data and information from the literature review. The interview consisted of two critical questions administered using Google Form: implementing active learning and mathematics textbooks on mathematics classroom activities. The results concluded that there were two primary sources of error in mathematics learning to increase HOTS in Indonesia: active learning and current mathematics textbooks. Besides, in teaching and learning practices, the active learning model is rarely used when using official texts that do not promote HOTS for mathematics students in Indonesia.

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.

Recent investigations pertaining to the importance of verbal factors in the learning of mathematics are reviewed. The paper is divided into 3 sections: (a) the relationships of mathematical ability to reading ability and general intelligence, (b) reading instruction and mathematics learning, and (c) student and teacher verbalizations. The importance of general intelligence for mathematics achievement is recognized, but the evidence for a group factor of mathematical ability is not convincing. Training in careful, analytical reading appears to have a beneficial effect on achievement in mathematics, but more controlled experiments with larger samples need to be conducted. The influence of verbalizing awareness of mathematical generalizations and the effects of teacher–student verbal interactions in mathematics classroom settings are other promising directions for research. Finally, an appeal is made for long–term multivariate investigations rather than piecemeal, one–shot studies.

This research is motivated by the obstacles experienced by students in learning mathematics, this is of course influenced by the efforts of teachers as educators in achieving educational goals. But in reality, currently there are still many teachers who do not use learning media, especially in learning mathematics. This causes students to experience learning difficulties. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Dakota media on student achievement. One of the learning media that can be used by teachers, especially FPB and KPK material, is Dakota media. The method used in this research is a quantitative experiment. The population and sample were all fourth-grade students of SDN Pasanggrahan for the 2019/2020 school year. The sampling technique used was the saturated sampling technique, which means that all populations were used as samples. The instruments used were tests and questionnaires.
