AB The growing use of the social media in recent years has opened up the possibility of using social media data like Twitter and Q&S online discussion forum Quora for educational research purposes. While other disciplines -specially in health sciences- have used social media data successfully in obtaining valuable results the question still remains as to whether Twitter and Quora can provide significant results even for mathematics educational research, especially in terms of the perspectives of students with regard to good mathematics teachers and teaching. The objective of this research study was to analyse students’ understanding, thoughts, feelings and opinions about good mathematics teacher and teaching. This research study used two distinct already available data from social media platforms: Twitter and Quora. According to this research study, mathematics teachers are regarded as good when he or she is a good motivator who cares and concern about students, has good sound of mathematics and passionate about teaching and their students, being supportive and encouraging.
