Litvak, Nelly; Kula, Fulya – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Through the global pandemic, the single greatest challenge at universities has been the move towards digital assessment. In this classroom note, we describe our new no-exam assessment setup in a Statistics course for third-year bachelor Mechanical Engineering students. The main idea is to assess the students based on self-generated problems.…

Carolyn Johns – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Undergraduate peer drop-in mathematics tutoring is a common form of support at the university level, yet research regarding how to train this specific group of tutors is underspecified. This paper aims to describe a training program for this population that is grounded in mathematics education research. It serves as a first step in conducting a…

Paul Andrews; Jöran Petersson; Judy Sayers; Eva Rosenqvist – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
In this paper, drawing on semi-structured interviews with generalist teachers of year-one children in England and Sweden, we examine comparatively the influence of the intended curriculum (teachers in both countries work within mandated national curricula) and the received curriculum (the collectively assumed efficacious practices and goals handed…

Davies, Ben; Miller, David; Infante, Nicole – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
We report on a series of task-based interviews in which nine mathematicians were asked to evaluate a series of six mathematical arguments, purportedly produced either by fellow mathematicians or undergraduate students. In this paper, we attend to the role of context in mathematicians' responses, leading to four themes in expectations when…

Rivera-Figueroa, Antonio; Guevara-Basaldúa, Víctor – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
The purposes of calculus courses are often the acquisition of knowledge itself, the development of skills and the understanding of important concepts, such as functions, derivatives, the chain rule, integrals and the fundamental theorem of calculus. However, full conceptual understanding is frequently not achieved. In this article, we examine the…

Radmehr, Farzad; Drake, Michael – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
In this paper, the knowledge dimension for Revised Bloom's taxonomy (RBT) is unpacked for integral calculus. As part of this work, the 11 subtypes of the knowledge dimension are introduced, and through document analysis of chapter 4 of the RBT handbook, these subtypes are defined. Then, by consulting materials frequently used for teaching integral…

Umugiraneza, Odette; Bansilal, Sarah; North, Delia – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
Paying attention to the planning of lessons represents a crucial teaching task. This paper analyses teachers' framing of lesson objectives and their descriptions of how they would introduce particular mathematics topics. Connections between the objectives and the instructional strategies employed, were also studied. The study involved 75 South…

Cárcamo Bahamonde, Andrea Dorila; Fortuny Aymemí, Josep Maria; Gómez i Urgellés, Joan Vicenç – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
In this article we present a didactic proposal for teaching linear algebra based on two compatible theoretical models: emergent models and mathematical modelling. This proposal begins with a problematic situation related to the creation and use of secure passwords, which leads students toward the construction of the concepts of spanning set and…

Olteanu, Constanta; Olteanu, Lucian – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
This article deals with two prominent topics in the field of mathematics education: the communication in mathematics and its teaching and learning and the continuous professional development of mathematics teachers. In this article, a framework is proposed for analysing the effectiveness of communication in mathematics classrooms. The presentation…

Hannah, John; Stewart, Sepideh; Thomas, Mike – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
This article continues a fairly recent trend of research examining the teaching practice of university mathematics lecturers. A lecturer's pedagogical practices in a course in linear algebra were discussed via a supportive community of inquiry. We use Schoenfeld's framework describing the relationship of resources, orientations and goals to…

Vilkomir, T.; O'Donoghue, J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2009
Kruteskii's work on the mathematical abilities of school children is a seminal work on the nature of mathematical ability. However, the task of developing methods for the practical application of his work is still a significant problem in mathematics education. The authors have developed a practical application of Kruteskii's approach to the…

Sherrod, Sonya Ellouise; Dwyer, Jerry; Narayan, Ratna – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2009
This article reports the development and refinement of science and mathematics integrated activities for middle school students. The expectations of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics that students develop an understanding of mathematics and an ability to apply it gave birth to these activities. The expectations of the National…
