Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues:
Motivating students is a critical aspect in achieving successful learning outcomes in mathematics education. Researchers in this field strive to identify effective practices that promote individuals' motivations to engage with mathematics, as well as practices that hinder motivation.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to delve into the topic of student motivation in mathematics education and its impact on facilitating effective learning outcomes. The main objective is to identify the various factors that influence students' motivation, as well as the roles of teachers and motivational strategies in enhancing students' performance in mathematics and sustaining their interest in the subject.
We welcome contributions in the form of research studies, literature reviews, case studies, and conceptual papers that address the following key areas:
Theoretical frameworks and models of motivation in mathematics education.
Factors that contribute to motivation, including individual, social, and cultural aspects.
The pivotal role of teachers in fostering motivation.
Strategies aimed at enhancing engagement and increasing motivation among students.
Exploring the relationship between motivation, self-efficacy, and student achievement.
Investigating the influence of technology-enhanced learning environments on student motivation.
Longitudinal studies examining the development and stability of student motivation over time.
Approaches for assessing and measuring motivation in mathematics education.
Innovative practices and approaches that effectively enhance motivation.
