Research in mathematics education and interdisciplinarity is varied and extensive, covering multiple approaches that reflect a growing interest in this type of perspective. The objective of this study is to systematize the findings of research on interdisciplinary mathematics education published between 2019 and 2024. The review was carried out following the guidelines of the PRISMA statement, allowing us to identify 49 articles published in journals indexed in the Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus databases. Subsequently, a content analysis was carried out to identify methodological and theoretical aspects present in the studies reviewed, such as methodology employed, education level of participants, disciplines integrated with mathematics, and types of interdisciplinary tasks proposed. Additionally, four main research themes were identified: (a) understanding of interdisciplinarity; (b) pedagogical strategies for interdisciplinary development in mathematics education; (c) interdisciplinarity for the development of mathematical skills; and (d) professional development of mathematics teachers. The results reveal a sustained increase in the number of publications, which reflects a growing interest in the interdisciplinary approach in mathematics education. Finally, several challenges and opportunities are highlighted for future research, including the need to develop an interdisciplinary teacher training model, the creation of pedagogical strategies that promote greater interconnection between disciplines, and the need to carry out more studies focused on early childhood and primary education in this area.

In recent years, particularly over the last 10–15 years, the scientific value of oral history in relation to historical and social knowledge has been increasingly recognized. Since the 1980s, oral history researchers have pioneered new approaches to interpreting human experience, highlighting oral biographical narratives and recounted experiences as valuable material for social research. According to Tsiolis, the biographical narrative approach has become an established scientific methodology for studying how social actors interact with their environment and respond to social changes, as these are reflected through their subjectivity. Based on the above, this study involved four academic lecturers who narrated their academic and professional journeys, the factors that influenced them, the challenges they faced, and the positive impact of their engagement with teaching in the context of Greek higher education. The research employed the methodology of narrative biography, allowing the participants to recount their academic trajectories spontaneously, recalling personal experiences and memories. Through these narratives, qualitative data emerged, which were analyzed and coded into common themes, leading to conclusions about the conditions, aspirations, and disappointments experienced by academics in higher education institutions. The paper concludes some limitations of the current study and offers suggestions for future research.

This study investigated the relationships between conflict management strategies and family functioning among university students from diverse ethnic backgrounds in the multicultural context of Kosovo. A cross-sectional design was used with 362 university students (183 female, 179 male) comprising Kosovo Turks (58.6%), Albanians (23.8%), and Bosnians (17.7%). Data were collected using the Conflict Management Strategy Scale and Family Assessment Device. Path analysis was used to examine relationships between conflict strategies and family functioning dimensions. Students preferred compromising strategies most (M = 3.68) and withdrawing least (M = 2.98). Family functioning was healthy in problem-solving, communication, roles, affective responsiveness, and general functioning (scores < 2.0), but unhealthy in affective involvement (M = 2.29) and behavioral control (M = 2.12). Significant ethnic differences emerged in communication (F(2,144) = 3.158, p = .045, η² = .020) and behavioral control (F(2,149) = 4.109, p = .018, η² = .018), but not in conflict strategies. Path analysis revealed that withdrawing strategies negatively affected family functioning (β = .113-.143), while smoothing strategies had positive effects (β = -.139 to -.220). However, conflict strategies explained only 1.6-4.3% of the variance in family functioning (R² = .016-.043), indicating small effect sizes. While statistically significant relationships exist between conflict management strategies and family functioning, effect sizes are modest. Ethnic variations in these relationships emphasize the importance of cultural considerations for family counseling practices. The findings suggest that conflict management training may have a limited direct impact on family functioning, highlighting the need for comprehensive, culturally sensitive intervention approaches.

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric and content analysis of research on autism and mathematics learning from 2010 to 2024. A total of 131 peer-reviewed articles were retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database using keywords such as autism, mathematics, learning, and intervention. Bibliometric analysis was conducted to quantitatively examine publication trends, leading authors, contributing countries, and co-authorship networks, offering a macroscopic overview of the field’s evolution. Visualisations generated using VOSviewer further illustrated keyword co-occurrence and thematic clustering. Complementing this, content analysis provided a qualitative synthesis of research themes and conceptual progressions across the literature. The findings revealed a clear thematic evolution. Early research (2010–2015) predominantly focused on behavioural interventions, structured instructional approaches, and basic numeracy development. Mid-phase studies (2016–2020) introduced inclusive pedagogies, social-emotional considerations, and differentiated instruction. Recent research (2021–2024) has shifted towards personalised, technology-enhanced instruction, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and the integration of digital tools in mathematics education. Despite this growth, several gaps remain. Research remains limited in addressing cross-cultural diversity, long-term evaluations of digital interventions, and the adaptation of pedagogies in underrepresented regions. This study emphasises the need for future research to explore culturally responsive frameworks, the sustainability of technology uses, and equity in mathematics education for autistic learners.
