In Hi. Abdullah; Hery Suharna; Mustafa AH. Ruhama – International Education Studies, 2024
The understanding mathematical concept is an error that often occurs in classroom learning among students when solving mathematical problems. The most difficult part for students is solving problems, because it requires numeracy skills, high concept mastery, as well as the ability to use good language, and so on so that students don't make any…

Regina Mahadewsing; Diana Getrouw; Sharon M. Calor – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2024
We conducted a descriptive study among first-year engineering students at the Anton de Kom University of Suriname. We analyzed students' errors regarding necessary prior knowledge in a calculus A exam. We found that the stage of the solution in which prior knowledge is required impacts the importance of prior knowledge. We also found that many…

Arefaine, Nigusse; Michael, Kassa; Assefa, Shimelis – Asian Journal of Education and Training, 2022
Multiple representations cultivate students' mathematical mindset. However, research results have reported that students do not benefit from these tools due to lack of representational fluency. This study was designed to determine the impact of GeoGebra assisted multiple representations approach on students' representation translation performance…

Purnomo, Eko Andy; Sukestiyarno, Y. L.; Junaedi, Iwan; Agoestanto, Arief – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2022
Problem-solving is the essence of mathematics and is the main goal in learning mathematics. Many students did not have good problem-solving skills based on the field observations. The problems grew up because the students were not used to solving the problems and the problem-solving stages. They did not include issues with high complexity, such as…

Genc, Murat; Akinci, Mustafa – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2020
The present study aimed to identify the errors made by pre-service elementary mathematics teachers while investigating the convergence of infinite series. A qualitative exploratory case study design was used with a total of 43 undergraduate students. Data were obtained from a test administered in a paper-and-pencil form consisting of seven…

Durst, Susan; Kaschner, Scott R. – PRIMUS, 2020
We explore student performance on True-False assessments with statements in the conditional form "If P then Q" in order to better understand how students process conditional logic and to see whether logical misconceptions impede students' ability to demonstrate mathematical knowledge. We administered an online assessment to a population…

Kouki, Rahim; Griffiths, Barry J. – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
In this article we present the results of an investigation into semiotic aspects of an introductory differential equations class from two countries. In order to perform a comparative analysis, students in the USA and Tunisia were given common questions on their midterm exams that examined analytical and graphical competencies. Our results indicate…

Kortemeyer, Gerd – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Massive pretrained language models have garnered attention and controversy due to their ability to generate humanlike responses: Attention due to their frequent indistinguishability from human-generated phraseology and narratives and controversy due to the fact that their convincingly presented arguments and facts are frequently simply false. Just…

Rodríguez-Nieto, Camilo Andrés; Font, Vicenç; Rodríguez-Vásquez, Flor Monserrat; Pino-Fan, Luis Roberto – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2023
An onto-semiotic analysis of the mathematical connections established by one in-service mathematics teachers and university students when solving a problem about launching a projectile using the derivative was carried out. Theoretically, this research was based on the articulation between the Extended Theory of Mathematical Connections and the…

Makamure, Chipo; Jojo, Zingiswa M. – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Literature has established that some learners encountered difficulties solving first order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The use of error analysis in teaching ODEs is believed to make essential contribution towards calculus knowledge development. This paper therefore focuses on analyzing pre-service teachers' (PSTs) errors and…

Usman, Ahmed Ibrahim – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2017
The paper investigates geometric errors students made as they tried to use their basic geometric knowledge in the solution of the Applied Calculus Optimization Problem (ACOP). Inaccuracies related to the drawing of geometric diagrams (visualization skills) and those associated with the application of basic differentiation concepts into ACOP…

Cangelosi, Richard; Madrid, Silvia; Cooper, Sandra; Olson, Jo; Hartter, Beverly – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 2013
The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not certain errors made when simplifying exponential expressions persist as students progress through their mathematical studies. College students enrolled in college algebra, pre-calculus, and first- and second-semester calculus mathematics courses were asked to simplify exponential…

Gerhardt, Ira – PRIMUS, 2015
An experiment was conducted over three recent semesters of an introductory calculus course to test whether it was possible to quantify the effect that difficulty with basic algebraic and arithmetic computation had on individual performance. Points lost during the term were classified as being due to either algebraic and arithmetic mistakes…
