... A number of other studies have shown that teachers' beliefs about mathematics have a powerful impact on the practice of teaching (Charalambos, Philippou & Kyriakides, 2002;Ernest, 1988Ernest, , 2000Golafshani, 2002;Putnam, Heaton, Prawat, & Remillard, 1992;Teo, 1997). McLeod (1992) states that, "the role of beliefs is central in the development of attitudinal and emotional responses to mathematics" (p. ...
... well as apply what they learn to other mathematical topics. According to Eshetu et al. (2023), studying geometry is crucial since it is applicable in daily life and can aid students in strengthening their analytical, deductive, and logical thinking abilities. ...
... Several studies suggest that 7E instructional models and computer-based instruction improve biology learning (Bülbül, 2010;Celik et al., 2013;Eshetu et al., 2022;Gönen et al., 2006;Kocakaya & Gonen, 2010;Miadi et al., 2018;Sarac & Tarhan, 2017;Warliani et al., 2017;Wodaj & Belay, 2021). For example, Bülbül (2010) compares the effectiveness of the instruction based on the 7E learning cycle model accompanied with computer animations and traditionally designed osmosis and diffusion topic instruction on students' conceptual understanding in Istanbul. ...
... In a study by Kasa et al. (2022), students' perceptions of these mathematics teachers were examined. While students recognized their teachers' comprehensive content grasp, they highlighted a gap in pedagogical acumen. ...
