POral questioning has various roles in teaching mathematics and is often used as one of the strategies for assessing student learning formatively. However, not much is known about how primary school mathematics teachers use oral questioning to assess student learning because previous studies have focused more on oral questioning in general in terms of its implementation in teaching. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore how primary school mathematics teachers use oral questioning to assess student learning in mathematics teaching. This study is qualitative in the form of a case study involving six school mathematics teachers selected using the purposive sampling method. Data for this study were collected using observation methods, interviews and field notes. Next, the data obtained were analysed using constant comparative analysis using Atlas ti. 8 software to obtain themes and sub-themes. The study found that oral questioning helps teachers gather information about student learning to improve, make decisions on teaching and ensures that students master the topics taught. Thus, it is clear that oral questioning has a broad role in teaching, especially in assessing student learning while improving teaching quality. This study has a significant impact on teachers' instruction. The use of oral questioning needs to be intensified and expanded to enable mathematics teaching activities to be implemented more meaningfully through a formative assessment conducted through oral questioning activities.

<p>In the 21st century, with the development of information technology, the education sector has gradually integrated information technology with subject teaching to promote students’ learning efficiency. The introduction of information technology into the classroom by primary school mathematics teachers can make abstract mathematics knowledge more tangible, thus enabling students to understand and master knowledge more quickly. Nowadays, information-based teaching has become an inevitable trend. In this paper, the deep integration of information technology and primary school mathematics teaching is studied in order to improve the level of primary school mathematics teaching.</p>

: Providing feedback to the student responses in the oral questioning process is an essential element in helping the students to understand the concept of mathematics. This study was conducted to describe the types of feedback given by primary school mathematics teachers regarding the student response in the oral questioning process when teaching mathematics. This qualitative study employed a multiple case study research design. The data was obtained through observation methods, interviews, document analysis, and field notes. The data collected was analyzed using the constant comparative analysis method to obtain the themes and sub-themes within the primary data. The selection of the study participants used the purposive sampling method, resulting in a total of six primary school mathematics teachers consisting of three new teachers and three experienced teachers. This study found that both the novice and experienced teachers provided a variety of feedback for the students' responses to the oral questioning activities during the mathematics teaching process, such as repeated trial feedback, explanatory feedback and easier questions feedback. This research provides a deeper understanding of how the different types of feedback given by the teachers as part of the oral questioning activities helps the students to stimulate their thinking.

This article sets out a professional development programme for primary school mathematics teachers. Clark and Hollingsworth’s model of teacher change provided the theoretical framework necessary to understand teacher change. A design study allowed for increased programme flexibility and participator involvement. Five volunteer primary school teachers teaching at South African state schools were involved in the programme for a period of one year and their pedagogy, use of mathematical content and context developed during the programme. Twenty lessons were observed over the year-long period. An observation rubric that specifically focused on mathematical pedagogy, use of context and mathematical content scale guided the researcher to gauge global changing teacher practices. Teacher growth was evident through their professional experimentation and changes in their personal domain. The design features emanating from the study are that teachers be given opportunities to experience reform tasks (e.g. model-eliciting tasks) in the role of learners themselves and teachers should be encouraged to use contextual problems to initiate concept development. More mathematical detail in lesson planning is also necessary. Furthermore, teachers need appropriately designed resource materials to teach in new ways. It is recommended that professional development includes teachers engaging collaboratively in solving rich tasks. This study adds to the growing body of knowledge regarding teacher development programmes that focus on how teachers change their own classroom practices.

Abstract. Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is a new type of teacher knowledge framework, a new definition of the structure of teachers' professional knowledge in the information age, and an important indicator for evaluating teachers' information teaching ability in the information age. This paper first introduces the design of the TPACK questionnaire; then conducts a statistical analysis of the data after the survey (the basic situation of the primary school mathematics teacher in Inner Mongolia and the analysis of the status quo of the teacher TPACK). Based on the existing problems of primary school mathematics teachers TPACK in Inner Mongolia, this article puts forward the countermeasures to promote the development of teachers’ TPACK by improving teachers’ “subject education technology ability” and practicing multiple action paths systematically.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the problems encountered in the process of realizing the continuity of preschool and primary school mathematics education and to determine the use of technology in mathematics education in line with the opinions of teachers. The research is a phenomenological study within the scope of qualitative research method. The research was conducted with 40 classroom teachers working in various primary schools in the province of Almaty, Kazakhstan, in the 2020-2021 academic year. The research data were collected with a semi-structured interview form prepared by the researcher and consisting of five open-ended questions, and analyzed with the descriptive method. As a result of the research, students were found to be prejudiced against the course, and the inadequacy of course materials, learning methods and techniques, and course activities were shown as the reasons that negatively affect education. In addition, it has been determined that the rate of teachers to prefer classical methods in education is much higher than new learning methods and techniques and use of technology. Keywords: Mathematics; mathematics education; preschool mathematics education; primary school mathematics education; teachers’ opinion.
