Öçal, Tugba – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
Pre-service early childhood teachers' beliefs about mathematics are significant because those beliefs will affect many factors involved in their future teaching. This research explored pre-service teachers' unforgettable mathematics experiences and how these experiences were related to their beliefs about preparing an unforgettable mathematics…

Barton, Bill – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
I lay a new theoretical framework across my own lecturing in order to understand what is happening. On the one hand, this is a test of the framework. On the other, I gain insights into both better practices and better course design. The framework constructs undergraduate teaching as the interaction between the discipline and the university…

Chow, Alan F.; Woodford, Kelly C.; Maes, Jeanne – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
Student understanding and retention can be enhanced and improved by providing alternative learning activities and environments. Education theory recognizes the value of incorporating alternative activities (games, exercises and simulations) to stimulate student interest in the educational environment, enhance transfer of knowledge and improve…

Begg, Andy – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
In this article, I present some "axioms" that relate to undergraduate mathematics education. When I first heard the word axiom, it was defined as a "self-evident truth"; but an axiom is not a truth, it is a subjective assumption on which an argument or proof can be based. My purpose in presenting these axioms is to stimulate debate about…
