Publications from 2021 were excluded to analyze the data on an annual basis; however, early access publications that were available in 2020 were included, and resulted in 441 documents published between 1992 and 2020. Expert review for excluding irrelevant documents The exported WOS documents were ...
Regarding the first 10 years of the period: Harkness and Thomas (2008) investigated early childhood PTs’ mathematical understanding of a student’s invented multiplication algorithm and found that a majority of the PTs relied on procedural and memorized explanations rather than using mathematical proper...
In Greek and early modern times alike—not to say in any era—mathematics was written for mathematicians. But today more than ever the study of the history and philosophy of mathematics is handled by non-mathematicians, who are more inclined to rely on philosophical authors. It has thus come...
In addition, some studies have found that gender bias in the early education stage has a long-term impact on the development of students (Lavy and Sand2018), but it is not clear how the impact will change dynamically, that is, whether the impact will change with the advancement of age or...
57 The process of analysis should not be seen as a distinct stage of research; rather, it is a reflexive activity that should inform data collection, writing, further data collection, and so forth. Analysis... should be seen as part of the research design and of the data collection. (...
His early theory modeled teaching as a function of teachers’ goals, knowledge, and beliefs. Goals are the aims we have and what we set out to achieve, consciously or unconsciously. Schoenfeld [13] described three types of goals. Overarching goals are the “consistent long-term goals that ...
One of the central drivers of mathematical progress is the discovery of patterns and formulation of useful conjectures: statements that are suspected to be true but have not been proven to hold in all cases. Mathematicians have always used data to help in this process—from the early hand-calcu...

In this study, we investigated undergraduate mathematics students’ (N = 267) attitudes towards proving. The students were taking an intro
