Effectiveness of AI-based tutoring and assessment systems in mathematics education
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming mathematics education through adaptive tutoring systems, automated feedback, and AI-supported assessment tools. However, evidence regarding the effectiveness of these technologies remains dispersed across diverse contexts and study designs. This systematic review synthesised empirical research on the effectiveness of AI-based tutoring and assessment systems in mathematics education publish…
South African Mathematics Teachers’ Perspectives on Data-Driven Instructional Decision-Making
Mathematics achievement in South African schools continues to be limited by identifiable barriers to instructional improvement, including inadequate technological infrastructure, excessive teacher workloads, and inconsistent institutional support for professional learning. Although data-driven instruction is widely promoted, little is known about how psychological constructs such as instrumental attitudes, perceived control, social norms, and sel…
Reducing mathematics anxiety through acceptance and commitment therapy
Mathematics is an essential discipline in the curricula of most educational systems, from early childhood to high school. However, a significant number of students face challenges due to anxiety disorders. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) does attempt to alleviate math anxiety, but there seems to be a lack of research evaluating its effectiveness in comparison with conventional counselling approaches. This study aimed to investigate the im…
Bayesian Hierarchical Modelling of Student Academic Performance
This study explores the multifaceted factors influencing academic performance among undergraduate students enrolled in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programs at a South African university. Employing a Bayesian hierarchical modelling approach, this research analyses data from 630 students collected over four academic years (2019–2023). The findings indicate that high school mathematics marks and progression rates serve a…
Factors Influencing Students’ Performance in University Mathematics Courses
This study examined the predictive relationships between Grade 12 National Senior Certificate (NSC) Mathematics results (representing students’ academic preparation at the secondary school level), university mathematics credits (indicating students’ progress in mathematics-related university courses), gender, and socioeconomic status (SES, measured by school quintile and family income) on student performance in specific university mathematics cou…
Exploring the Integration of Artificial Intelligence-Based ChatGPT into Mathematics Instruction
This research investigates how secondary school mathematics educators in the Nsukka Education Zone, Enugu State, Nigeria, perceive the incorporation of artificial intelligence-based ChatGPT into teaching mathematics. The study employed a sequential exploratory mixed-methods strategy, starting with a systematic survey and followed by detailed interviews. The Mathematics Teachers’ Awareness and Perceptions of AI-based ChatGPT Questionnaire (MTAPACQ…
Effect of Systematic Desensitization on Anxiety and Achievement of Nigerian Secondary School Students in Mathematics
This study investigates the impact of systematic desensitization (SD) on mathematics anxiety and achievement among Nigerian secondary school students. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a pretest and post-test nonequivalent control group design, we selected 120 students (58 boys, 62 girls) from a pool of 3390 senior class one students using a multi-stage sampling procedure. Assessment tools included the Mathematics Achievement Test and Ma…
Effect of group rational emotive behaviour therapy on mathematics anxiety on secondary school students
This study investigated the effects of group rational emotive behaviour therapy on the mathematics anxiety of students in Nigerian secondary schools. In total, 118 senior secondary school students constituted the sample for the study: 63 learners were allocated to the experimental group and 55 learners to the control group. The instruments used for data collection were the Mathematics Anxiety Scale (primary outcome measure) and the Irrational Bel…
