Three qualitative tools were used: a metaphor construction task, unstructured questions, and a drawing task. Thematic analysis and intercoder reliability checking were implemented. Based on the findings, the first theme, the teacher as a knowledge dispenser belief, features the imperative conduct of the dispensation of knowledge; the second theme, the teacher as a reliable improver belief, highlights the formation of space for student participation after dispensing knowledge; the third theme, teacher as an equity promoter belief, highlights the significance of addressing the needs of the students while dispensing knowledge; and the last theme, teacher as a strategic scaffolder belief, highlights combining, extending, and maximizing all knowledge, experiences, and learning opportunities to align with and attain learning objectives. The teacher-as-knowledge dispenser belief is more teacher-centered, the teacher-as-reliable improver and teacher-as-equity promoter beliefs are mixed teacher-centered and student-centered, and the teacher-as-strategic scaffolder belief is more student-centered. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">487-506</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khemjira Tiengyoo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sayun Sotaro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sermsri Thaithae</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LEVELS OF FACTORS INFLUENCING THE 21ST-CENTURY MATHEMATICS TEACHING CHALLENGES FOR SECONDARY STUDENTS IN THE SECONDARY EDUCATIONAL SERVICE AREA OFFICE OF LOPBURI: A STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING APPROACH</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problems of Education in the 21st Century</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mathematics secondary students</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mathematics teaching</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">structural equation model</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thailand</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2024</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">June/2024</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://oaji.net/articles/2023/457-1718792515.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">82</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Student’s attitude towards 21st-century mathematics teaching is affected by factors such as content knowledge, knowledge of teaching and learning activities, attitude towards mathematics and technology knowledge. The aim of this study was to construct structural equation models for investigating 21st-century mathematics teaching and learning among secondary mathematics students in the Secondary Educational Service Area Office Lopburi (SEAOL). Quantitative research used the 21st-century TPACK framework. The research sample consisted of 400 SEAOL students from the 1/2022 semester using multi-stage sampling. A questionnaire was used to assess 21st-century secondary school mathematics teaching and learning with a 0.934 confidence of. The data was analyzed using the appropriate software and revealed key components and their relationships. The results show that teaching and learning, fundamental technology capability, content knowledge, specialized technology use, and mathematical content implementation all affected mathematics teaching in the 21st-century for SEAOL students. Influence was .89, .70, .63, .25, and .21. School technology support has a .59 effect on students’ basic technological skills. Technology's role in learning influenced students' technology use by .21. This research shows how each aspect affects 21st-century mathematics education at the SEAOL, and math overload had the least effect. Teachers and stakeholders should investigate and innovate to improve the use of specialized technology in teaching to help students acquire higher-level mathematical content and apply it in their daily lives.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">410-423</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mehtap Saracoglu</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">REFLECTIVE THINKING AND INQUIRY SKILLS AS PREDICTORS OF SELF-EFFICACY IN TEACHING MATHEMATICS</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problems of Education in the 21st Century</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">inquiry skill</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mathematics teaching</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">prospective primary school teachers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">reflective thinking</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">teacher education</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2022</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">February/2022</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://oaji.net/articles/2022/457-1645651278.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">80</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This study aims to show to what extent the variables of reflective thinking, inquiry skill and mathematics teaching self-efficacy belief affect each other, to show their rates of explaining each other, and to show whether inquiry skill is a mediating variable in the relationship between reflective thinking and mathematics teaching self-efficacy belief.

Research studies often present individual types of strategies more or less separately. This study aims to determine student solutions of selected word problems in the whole context of the solution process. In this context, such nonstandard word problems combine verbal formulation and the character of nonstandard problems (impossible to be solved using an algorithm). In order to get an overall picture of the stages of word problem solution, an analysis of solving a given word problem was conducted among 171 respondents aged 10-11. The analysis was conducted in compliance with partial steps of word problem processing, as the solving of the problem was viewed from a wider perspective. The student’s reaction to the problem, working with the given information, individual forms of solution, and answer formation were recorded. In order to have a more complex idea and possibility to compare, the chosen way of solving the problem was also presented to a selected sample of 26 teachers. Available solutions were analyzed, and there were sought ways how the solution was assessed by the teachers based on selected parameters. Especially their meta-cognitive estimation of the correctness of their own solution was subject to scrutiny.
Despite the fact that the respondents chose different strategies of solution (graphic, arithmetical, using judgment, etc.), it appears that the success rate of solving the given nonstandard word problem was very low. Thus, it is necessary to implement such word problems into standard math lessons, also within pre-graduate teacher preparation.

Society has seen rapid changes in the economy and technology with a call for these changes to be reflected within the classroom. New methods of teaching mathematics are being sought with the purpose to improve teaching and learning while making mathematics relatable to the new generation of learners. The incorporation of technology within the classroom has been seen an option to make this change. The purpose of this research was to determine how effective the use of the GeoGebra app is in allowing learners to successfully discover the properties of straight line graphs.  Furthermore, the research looked at learner responses to using the app.  A qualitative research design was used with data generated through a task-based investigation, as well as individual interviews.  Results of the research showed that the use of GeoGebra aided learners successfully in discovering the properties of straight-line graphs with the majority of learners understanding both concepts.  The results also showed that learners had a positive outlook to the use of the app and enjoyed the experience. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">55-81</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcus Samuelsson</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Joakim Samuelsson</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PROFICIENT CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT THROUGH FOCUSED MATHEMATIC TEACHING</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problems of Education in the 21st Century</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">classroom management</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mathematics teaching</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">proficient teacher</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">December/2017</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2017/457-1513710893.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">75</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A not entirely unusual position among teachers is that they believe that they must first establish a peaceful classroom before they can begin to teach the subject. This research, shows how a proficient mathematics teacher teaches his subject and thereby creates a quiet and focused classroom and exerts effective leadership, just by teaching mathematics. The researchers observed a male mathematics teacher for almost half a year, i.e. one semester. The results of research present several patterns that the researchers saw during the observations of his teaching. The teacher showed an interest in each student’s mathematical thinking and expressed explicitly how students were expected to learn mathematics. He also directed students’ attention to mathematics and established a culture where all solutions were important in the teaching process. In the teaching process, he used multiple representations to motivate students and a lot of supportive expressions that made them feel that they were able to learn mathematics. He worked patiently to establish structures, and there was almost no disruptive behaviour. Students simply did not have time to interfere because they were so engaged in learning mathematics.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">634-651</style></section></record></records></xml>
