Mathematics Anxiety is well-researched, but solutions are few. This study shows the potential to provide an affordable solution, one that could ultimately be rolled out across the country and the world. The 1:1 interventions involve inviting the participants to tell their math story and then introducing the Mathematical Resilience Framework and reframing adverse prior experiences as unrelated to intrinsic ability. The framework includes three tools: the hand model of the brain, the growth zone model, and the relaxation response. The intervention participants were Brazilian volunteers living in England from the local and virtual communities. The levels of Mathematics Anxiety were measured before the intervention using the Betz (1978) scale, and narrative records were made. The qualitative data were analyzed using deductive thematic analysis (Braun Clarke, 2006) through the lens of the Mathematical Resilience Framework. The data indicated the positive impact of performing this kind of intervention.

In mathematics, the importance of emotion and motivation has long been appreciated. Meanwhile, the measurement of these constructs needs to be carefully developed. Indeed, many previous studies employed questionnaires and self-rating to investigate emotion and motivation in mathematics. However, researchers stressed that self-rating and questionnaires are vulnerable to different biases, such as cultural bias, social desirability bias, and individual reporting behavior, which could influence the reliability and validity of the responses. The present study employed an anchoring vignette approach and self-rating to measure emotion and motivation to examine its effect on reliability and validity. The study sample consisted of 308 Grade 8 students from urban, suburban, and rural schools in Mongolia. The students were administered two vignette sets and their respective self-rating items in 45 minutes. The study found that the anchoring vignette approach increased two types of reliability coefficients, including composite reliability and Cronbach's α, and two types of validity, such as convergent and discriminant validity. In sum, the results of the present study concluded that the anchoring vignette approach has the potential to improve the reliability and validity of tools to measure emotion and motivation in mathematics.

This study delves into the integration of generative AI in second language acquisition, particularly focusing on advanced Japanese learners' autonomy and motivation enhancement through video production. Drawing from Japan's educational guidelines and prior research, the investigation examines the roles of generative AI in language education, emphasizing ethical considerations and strategies for effective integration (Mollick Mollick, 2023). The course implemented a hybrid approach, combining language instruction with media production, where students created YouTube videos in Japanese. Their productions were supported by AI tools for language correction, narration, and content generation. Results indicate that while AI facilitated practical language learning, instructor guidance remained crucial for ensuring accuracy and contextual appropriateness. The study highlights challenges such as overreliance on AI-generated content and the need for nuanced communication in prompt engineering. Despite these challenges, students demonstrated cultural understanding and improved nonverbal communication skills through video production. Future research aims to analyze students' reflections on their experiences, shedding light on their insights and future applications of AI in language learning.

Normale Lectures is a delivery model of academic coursework designed as an innovative response to address the challenges of human and infrastructural limitations. To respond to these challenges, the Philippine Normal University has developed an academic course delivery model called PNU Normale Lectures, or NLec. Along this line, I was interested in exploring general education students' experiences in NLec mathematics class. With this, an open-ended questionnaire was administered to the eighty-three students of the Philippine Normal University, Visayas. Responses generated five essential themes about their challenges: a) classroom environment and distractions; b) teacher’s impact and teaching style; c) personal engagement and learning difficulties; d) classroom structure and size; and e) online learning and technology. Coping strategies, on the other hand, are (a) study materials and notes; (b) peer and teacher support; (c) online resources and technology; (d) positive attitude and motivation; (e) practice and review; and (f) active listening and notetaking. These findings underscore the complex nature of these challenges and emphasize the importance of educators and institutions addressing them for improved student outcomes. The study also identified coping strategies, highlighting the need for innovative approaches to enhance the mathematics education experience for these students.

Though studies have been done on Machine Learning, almost all the studies focused on higher educational institutions, with little attention to K-12 educational settings. Those studies that focused on K-12 are scattered, making it difficult to specifically know which visualization tools best enhance Machine Learning in K-12 schools. This study, therefore, through a systematic literature review determines which visualization tools best promote Machine Learning in K-12 schools. The study specifically considered, barriers to the use of Machine Learning in K-12 schools, visualization tools for Machine Learning in K-12 schools, and pedagogical strategies that benefit the teaching and learning of Machine Learning in K-12 schools. The study sourced articles from Scopus and the Web of Science database after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data from the articles were extracted based on the PICO framework and their quality was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) model. The barriers to Machine Learning in K-12 schools include a lack of information about the development and usage of the tools, selection, and coordination barriers, lack of attention to machine learning by educational stakeholders, and programming demands. Appropriate visualization tools for Machine Learning in K-12 schools include MLflow and NN-SVG. Though there exist numerous approaches for teaching ML in K-12 settings such as active learning, inquiry-based, participatory learning, and design-oriented approaches, the best pedagogy that supports machine learning in K-12 schools as per existing literature is participatory learning. Teachers need to acquire the appropriate and specific information and technical know-how or skills about machine learning for promoting visualization lessons in K-12 schools. All teachers should be sensitized to adopt participatory learning pedagogy to enhance the effective use of machine learning in K-12 schools. Machine learning should be integrated into teaching and learning in K-12 schools since it is ideal for visualization and experimentation, which are inevitable for effective teaching and learning in K-12 schools.
