Summary
During the COVID-19 pandemic, parents became highly engaged in children's home mathematics learning. Findings suggest schools should incorporate parental feedback to improve future math education strategies.
Area of Science:
- Education
- Psychology
- Mathematics Education
Background:
- Pre-pandemic research indicated math homework often caused stress for parents and children.
- Tensions frequently arise between home and school regarding mathematics learning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To understand parents' experiences with home-based mathematics learning during the COVID-19 lockdown.
- To identify implications for fostering positive home-school relationships in mathematics education.
Main Methods:
- An online survey was distributed to parents in New Zealand during the lockdown.
- 634 responses were collected and analyzed to understand parental engagement and opinions.
Main Results:
- Parents demonstrated high engagement in their children's mathematics learning at home.
- Parental stress levels correlated with negative opinions on math work quality and teacher support.
- Online mathematics programs were positively received by parents as supplementary tools.
Conclusions:
- Parental feedback on the quality, level, and quantity of math work is crucial for schools.
- Schools should focus on effective teacher support and empowering parental agency in mathematics learning.
- The pandemic highlighted pre-existing issues in mathematics home learning, with younger children reporting more positive experiences.

40.0K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

01:15Principal Stresses: Problem Solving
338
When analyzing two planes intersecting at right angles under the influence of shearing, tensile, and compressive stresses, it is essential to identify principal planes, maximum shearing stress, and principal stresses. To find the principal planes, apply a formula that equates them to twice the shearing stress divided by the difference between tensile and compressive stresses.

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

1.4K
The principle of virtual work is an essential concept in the field of mechanics and engineering. This is used to solve problems related to the equilibrium of a structure or system. It is based on the assumption that if a system is in equilibrium, the work done by all the forces during a virtual displacement is zero. This principle is applied by considering virtual displacements of the system and the corresponding work done by internal and external forces.

01:10Gauss's Law: Problem-Solving
2.2K
Gauss's law helps determine electric fields even though the law is not directly about electric fields but electric flux. In situations with certain symmetries (spherical, cylindrical, or planar) in the charge distribution, the electric field can be deduced based on the knowledge of the electric flux. In these systems, we can find a Gaussian surface S over which the electric field has a constant magnitude. Furthermore, suppose the electric field is parallel (or antiparallel) to the area...

760
The second moment of an area, also known as the moment of inertia of an area, is a geometric property of a shape that reflects its resistance to change. The moment of inertia of an area can be calculated for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. The moment of inertia of an area is calculated by taking the sum of the product of the area and the square of its distance from a chosen axis of rotation. For two-dimensional shapes, the moment of inertia can be expressed as a single...
