Abstract:
In this interactive session, we will be sharing short YouTube videos and exploring the following question: How can YouTube contribute to mathematics education by disseminating insights from research in the field? We endeavor to investigate how utilizing a YouTube channel can establish a vital connection between mathematics education research and classroom instruction, a connection that is often overlooked. Our goal is to make scholarly insights accessible to educators of all backgrounds. We encourage active participation from the audience to shape our content, imagining a collaborative platform to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in mathematics education.
