Purpose of the study: This study is a survey of teachers’ and students' perceptions of mathematics teaching and learning practices. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of learning practice based on metacognitive regulation strategies and student interactions to increase student achievement. Methodology: A quantitative survey of 45 mathematics teachers and 52 Form 2 students using questionnaires was conducted to look at the level of mathematics teaching and learning practices and to obtain agreement on the need for learning metacognitive regulation strategies and student interactions. Findings: The findings show that teachers' level of knowledge about metacognitive regulation strategies, level of teaching and learning based on metacognitive regulation and student interaction strategies, and level of mastery and application of student mathematics skills are moderate. Implications: Furthermore, teachers and students agree that teaching and learning practices based on metacognitive regulation strategies and student interaction need to be implemented as a mathematics learning intervention to enhance students’ mastery in mathematics. Implications of this study led to the suggestion that metacognitive regulation strategies be used as a best practice and guide to transform teaching and learning methods. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is an extension of the study of aspects of metacognitive skills by looking at both the view of the teacher and the student. Results show that students' metacognitive skills and interactions are related to and influence learning.

Mathematics Teaching Methods

Effective teaching and learning of mathematics are vital not only for examination or assessment purposes but also for empowering learners to live in a modern age of science, mathematics, and engineering and enable them to role-play to the social and economic development of the developing countries and the whole world as well. This study reveals insights of teachers and students regarding mathematics teaching and learning in Rwanda. The study was a survey designed involving 217 ordinary level secondary school students and 25 secondary school teachers who teach Mathematics, from 5 schools in Karongi District, Western Province, in Rwanda. The results analysis was confined to three components namely; preferred mathematics teaching methods, motivation to teach and learn mathematics, and the usability of mathematics in daily life. Descriptive statistics and all the statistical tables/graphs were generated using SPSS and MS Excel. As results, peer learning and group work and expository were found to be the most applied teaching methods in the selected schools. This study has underlined that not only parents but also siblings have an impact on their young brothers/sisters’ education. In terms of its utilitarian value, respondents revealed that mathematics increases critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and creativity of students. Teachers need to be more knowledgeable in the subject matter, through lesson preparations and linking mathematical concepts to real-world experiences.

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has caused new ways of doing and being, both in education systems and beyond across the world. In the context of Aotearoa/New Zealand, the widely supported government approach focused on the well-being of the nation with a position that saving lives was more important than maintaining an open economy. As researchers and educators, we supported teachers as they worked with their students in their home settings. This provided us with an opportunity to explore a vision of a reinvented system of mathematics education beyond institutional and formal structures of schools. In this chapter, we present the analysis of the responses from 24 educators mainly from low socioeconomic urban settings as they reflected on how they enacted mathematics teaching and learning during the lockdown while connecting with students and their families as well as their subsequent learning from this experience. Results highlighted that the mathematical learning of students went beyond what was accessed by digital means and included parents drawing on rich everyday opportunities. A key finding was that by supporting and privileging the well-being of students and communities, the connections and relationships between educators and families were enhanced.
