Paoletti, Teo; Lee, Hwa Young; Rahman, Zareen; Vishnubhotla, Madhavi; Basu, Debasmita – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In this study, we examined graphical representations in several mathematics, science, and engineering textbooks and practitioner journals with the goal of identifying similarities and differences across these sources. To do this, we drew from the extant research on students interpreting graphs and reasoning covariationally to develop a framework…

Hawthorne, Casey; Rasmussen, Chris – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2015
While a significant amount of research has been devoted to exploring why university students struggle applying logic, limited work can be found on how students actually make sense of the notational and structural components used in association with logic. We adapt the theoretical framework of unitizing and reification, which have been effectively…

Doehler, Kirsten; Taylor, Laura – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2015
This article is based on the experiences of two statistics professors who have taught students to write and effectively utilize code-based software in a college-level introductory statistics course. Advantages of using software and code-based software in this context are discussed. Suggestions are made on how to ease students into using code with…
