Mathematics education on the development of responsibility and cooperation in students: an analytical study in the context of primary education

This research uses analysis to determine the key factors affecting the quality of mathematics education provided to elementary students. This research identified and evaluated several key success elements that are required to improve math instruction by instilling and supporting basic values such as cooperation and responsibility. Mathematics is viewed in this research as a fundamental subject area, and therefore, it was examined how mathematics can be used to develop important life skills, including systematic problem-solving and critical thinking. Using the Analytical Hierarchy Process, which is part of an multi-criteria decision-making framework, this research investigated a hierarchy of criteria: curriculum, academic achievement, classroom environment, interpersonal relationships between teachers and students, and social interaction. This research also used these multiple dimensions to provide evidence-based recommendations for whole-child development. These results will have significant implications for both educators and policymakers who want to ensure that their mathematical instructional methods support the development of all socioemotionally competent young children.
