Forty Years of Mathematics Education: 1980-2019

“…Quintos, Civil and Bratton (2019) examined the role of parental engagement, Maričić and Stamatović (2017) investigated the effect of pre-schooling on mathematics education. Additionally, the effect of cooperative learning (Bekele & McPherson, 2011;Park & Nuntrakune, 2013), teacher training courses (Yaman, 2015) and preservice teachers" attitudes (Kesicioğlu, 2015) were studied on mathematics education. The general characteristics of these articles refer to the attempts for improving mathematics performance.…”
