Grinshkun, Vadim; Bidaibekov, Esen; Koneva, Svetlana; Baidrakhmanova, Gulnaz – European Journal of Contemporary Education, 2019
The higher education system of the Republic of Kazakhstan emphasizes the need for the development of institutional science, including the field of information technology, with a priority on fundamental research. Professional training of future computer science teachers requires them to know the range of tasks related to computer graphics, and the…

Alves, Francisco Regis Vieira – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2016
Admittedly, the study of Complex Analysis (CA) requires of the student considerable mental effort characterized by the mobilization of a related thought to the complex mathematical concepts. Thus, with the aid of the dynamic system Geogebra, we discuss in this paper a particular concept in CA. In fact, the notion of winding number v[f(gamma),P] =…

Alves, Francisco Regis Vieira – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2013
Admittedly, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus-TFA holds an important role in the Complex Analysis-CA, as well as in other mathematical branches. In this article, we bring a discussion about the TFA, the Rouché's theorem and the winding number with the intention to analyze the roots of a polynomial equation. We propose also a description for a…

Guven, Bulent; Kosa, Temel – Online Submission, 2008
Geometry is the study of shape and space. Without spatial ability, students cannot fully appreciate the natural world. Spatial ability is also very important for work in various fields such as computer graphics, engineering, architecture, and cartography. A number of studies have demonstrated that technology has an important potential to develop…

Bokhove, Christian; Drijvers, Paul – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2010
In the Netherlands, as in many other countries, the algebraic expertise of students graduating from secondary education is an issue. The use of digital tools for algebra education is expected to change epistemologies, activity structures and student achievement. Therefore, a study was set up to investigate in what way the use of ICT in upper…

Rankowski, Charles A.; Galey, Minaruth – Educational Communication and Technology: A Journal of Theory, Research, and Development, 1979
Demonstrates the instructional value of supplementary media presentations using first year engineering students randomly split into 11 descriptive geometry classes; five received multimedia instruction, and six did not. Data compared each study group in relation to competency in the subject, achievement, visualization of spatial relationships, and…

Friedman, Lynn – 1992
The meta analysis reported in this paper considers the implications of combined correlational evidence for the nature of the relationships of mathematical and spatial skills, and for the possibility that spatial skill underlies gender differences in favor of males on mathematical tasks. In all, 136 studies reported in 116 articles and…

Smith, Glenn Gordon; Middleton, James A. – Australian Educational Computing, 2003
This study compared interaction with a computer vs. observation as learning situations for low and high ability student's learning of spatial visualization and geometric transformations. Thirty-two fifth grade boys took the Differential Aptitude Test, Space Relations Subset (DAT), and then participated in the experiment. Pre-test and post-test…
