This article aims to problematize the role of programming in mathematics education. Problematizing involves acknowledging a deeper complexity in the understanding of programming than originally perceived and questioning its assumed value in mathematics education. This approach entails identifying its underlying paradigmatic assumptions in relation…

Research literature about visually impaired students' approach to mathematics is still very scarce, especially in the case of algebra, even though mathematical content is becoming increasingly accessible thanks to assistive technologies. This paper presents a case study aimed at describing a blind subject's process of algebraic symbol manipulation…

Human-driven carbon emissions have resulted in increased levels of dissolved carbon dioxide in the Earth's oceans. This dissolved carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid, which impacts ocean acidity as well as the solubility of carbonate-containing compounds, with far-reaching impacts on marine ecosystems and the human communities…

In this paper the author explores and demonstrates the vital role mathematics plays in technology by showing how algebra, and in particular Boolean algebra, has become an essential part of how computers and computer languages work. Both Boolean logic and algebra are core competencies in Computer Science at the university level which may encourage…

This study explores the potential of the large language model GPT-4 as an automated tool for qualitative data analysis by educational researchers, exploring which techniques are most successful for different types of constructs. Specifically, we assess three different prompt engineering strategies -- Zero-shot, Few-shot, and Fewshot with…
