Segla Kossivi – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2025
First-year college students experience difficulties in understanding the concepts of derivatives and integrals. At the postsecondary level, the use of static visualization and other traditional instruction delivery methods often are unable to meet students' needs in calculus. This problem is current and essential in the field of education and…

Maria Al Dehaybes; Johan Deprez; Paul van Kampen; Mieke De Cock – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
This study investigated how students reason about the partial derivative and the directional derivative of a multivariable function at a given point, using different graphical representations for the function in the problem statement. Questions were formulated to be as isomorphic as possible in both mathematics and physics contexts and were given…

Maria Al Dehaybes; Johan Deprez; Paul van Kampen; Mieke De Cock – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
When learning physics, students need more than just an understanding of mathematical and physical concepts. Integrating the two fields is crucial, as research indicates that students often struggle even when they have a strong grasp of both. In this paper, we use the heat equation as an example from higher education. Given the importance of the…

Maria Fahlgren; Mats Brunström – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
This paper provides some insights into the use of example-generating tasks in the design of a technology-rich learning environment to enhance students' mathematical thinking. The paper reports on an early stage of a design-based research project concerning the design of tasks and associated feedback utilising the affordances provided by a combined…

Kathryn Early; Amiee Sanders; W. Gary Martin – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Vectors have important applications both within and outside mathematics, but the concept of vectors is often taught to students in a less-than-engaging way, leading to students feeling inadequate and frustrated. This article describes the use of a mathematical microworld, "Driving with Vectors," to explore vectors using equitable…
