Harnessing Restorative Circles to Cultivate an Effective Learning Community in Elementary Mathematics
Abstract
This paper investigates the perceptions and understanding of mathematics teachers regarding restorative circles and their influence on the learning environment, focusing on elementary mathematics education. Mathematics educators aim to cultivate an environment that supports academic achievement and social development. The study reveals insights into how elementary teachers perceive, understand, and employ restorative circles to enhance mathematics education. Additionally, this paper offers guidance on initiating the implementation of circles in the mathematics classroom.
