Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Limited research has been conducted on the use of mathematics apps in elementary school environments. The purpose of this study was to examine student (n=127) and teacher (n=6) attitudes toward the use of constructive-based, mathematics apps in grades 4 to 6 and to explore what factors influence learning performance. Students rated the design and engagement value of mathematics apps high, and the learning value moderately high. Teachers were neutral about app design but rated the engagement and learning value high. Student learning performance increased significantly after using mathematics apps for remembering, understanding, applications and analysis-based tasks. Student gender, ability, attitudes, and age had no significant impact on student learning performance. On the other hand, teacher gender and strategies had a significant impact on student learning performance. Students scored 13% higher with female teachers, 24% higher when students used apps in pairs, and 21% lower with a teacher-led strategy. Keywords: mobile apps, mathematics, elementary school, attitudes, learning performance

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
