Latvia began curriculum reform implementation in 2020. Not only has the learning content changed, but students are also now able to choose from one of three levels to study mathematics in secondary school. This requires new exams at the end of each of these courses. The aim of this study is to investigate student performance and to what extent students can use higher cognitive skills on the new exams. Results were analyzed using Classical Test Theory and Item Response Theory. Comparing the results of the new exams using Wright maps shows a trend that, although there are flaws, they are more representative of the relevant population than the previous exam. A group of experts determined the level of cognition for each of the tasks and analyzed students' performance. The results show that there are tasks where students can demonstrate the highest level of cognitive abilities. However, such tasks are relatively few, and they are mathematical rather than problems in a real context. Performance analysis shows that students have difficulty expressing their thoughts and this is one of the reasons why only a small number of students solve challenging problems

“…Įvairūs tarptautiniai tyrimai (pavyzdžiui, PISA) rodo, kad Lietuvos mokinių matematikos raštingumas nesiekia EBPO šalių vidurkio (OECD, 2019). Nacionaliniai tyrimai (pavyzdžiui, Jakaitienė et al, 2021) rodo, kad pusės mokinių matematikos pasiekimai yra patenkinami ar prastesni. Vadinasi, yra aktualu analizuoti, kokia ugdymo aplinka, o tiksliau, koks mokytojų bendravimas su mokiniais gali prisidėti prie mokinių motyvacijos mokytis matematikos stiprinimo.…”

To help teachers understand their role in students’ motivation and well-being, the researchers within SDT (Aelterman et al., 2019) have recently proposed a Circumplex model – the integrative and fine-grained approach to analyze the variety and interactions of (de)motivating teaching styles. The purpose of the current study is to adapt the student version of the Situations in School Questionnaire based on the Circumplex model for Lithuanian educational context. 715 seventh- and eighth-grade students (50.9% girls, Mage=13.42 years) from ten Lithuanian schools participated in the study. The SISQ was used to measure (de)motivating teaching styles, also behavioral and cognitive engagement in learning as well as well-being (positive and negative emotions, satisfaction with math classes) were assessed as indicators of students’ functioning. Multidimensional scaling, confirmatory factor analysis, and correlational analysis showed the match of the SISQ structure to the Circumplex model. (De)motivating teaching can be best graphically represented by a two-dimensional configuration that differed in terms of need support and directiveness. Correlations between eight subareas and indicators of students’ functioning followed a systematic sinusoid pattern, suggesting a gradual effect of teaching on students’ outcomes. With the adaptation being successful, student version of the SISQ can be used in Lithuanian educational context.

The aim of this quantitative study was to investigate the perceptions of Mathematics teachers working in Abha city, Saudi Arabia, toward using IoT in Mathematics classes for students' acquisition and performance. The sample was selected using the simple random sampling technique, and the researcher collected data using a self-developed scale. The analysis revealed that Mathematics teachers' perception of using IoT is high and integrating IoT in the classroom can improve student participation and help them become more skilled. Also, the findings showed that most of the participants in the survey believe that IoT is a field that is well-equipped to operate effectively. The Pearson correlation coefficient showed a strong and positive relationship between teachers' perception of using IoT and students' concept acquisition and academic performance. Owing to the vast range of study implications and its ability to boost students' performance and acquisition of new Mathematical concepts, IoT must be implemented in the classroom.
