Focus and Scope

SMARTH: Journal of Mathematics Education and Learning publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed research articles, review papers, and innovative studies that contribute to the advancement of mathematics education across all educational levels. The journal aims to disseminate original scholarly works that promote theoretical development, empirical research, pedagogical innovation, and evidence-based practices in mathematics teaching and learning. Interdisciplinary studies related to mathematics education are also welcomed.

The journal welcomes manuscripts in, but not limited to, the following areas:

  • Mathematical Thinking and Cognitive Development
    Mathematical reasoning, problem solving, conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, critical thinking, creative thinking, communication, representation, mathematical literacy, numeracy, and higher-order thinking skills (HOTS).
  • Teaching, Learning, and Mathematics Pedagogy
    Innovative teaching strategies, mathematics didactics, instructional design, lesson study, inquiry-based learning, problem-based learning, project-based learning, realistic mathematics education, differentiated instruction, and classroom action research.
  • Educational Technology and Digital Mathematics Learning
    Artificial Intelligence (AI), adaptive learning systems, learning analytics, mobile learning, e-learning, blended learning, virtual learning environments, educational applications, simulations, gamification, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and digital transformation in mathematics education.
  • Assessment, Evaluation, and Learning Analytics
    Assessment development, authentic assessment, competency-based assessment, diagnostic assessment, educational measurement, psychometrics, learning outcomes evaluation, and data-driven educational decision making.
  • Curriculum Development and Teacher Professionalism
    Mathematics curriculum innovation, curriculum evaluation, teacher professional development, pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK), lesson planning, and instructional quality improvement.
  • Ethnomathematics and Contextual Learning
