Mutambara, Lillias Hamufari Natsai; Bansilal, Sarah – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Many mathematics education researchers agree that students struggle to understand the key concepts in linear algebra courses. The purpose of this study was to examine in-service teachers' errors and misconceptions in the area of linear combinations. The participants were 73 Zimbabwean mathematics teachers who were enrolled in an in-service…

Baysal, Esra; Sevinc, Serife – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
This study investigated the role of the bar model method, a significant aspect of the Singapore mathematics curriculum, in the remediation of seventh-grade students' errors on algebra word problems. To accomplish this purpose, we first assessed students' errors on a written test involving algebra problems and identified ten students based on the…

Wheeler, Ann; Champion, Joe – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
Learning to write formal mathematical proofs presents a major challenge to undergraduates. Students who have succeeded in algorithm-intensive courses such as calculus often find the abstract logic and nonprocedural nature of proof writing to be technically difficult, ambiguous and "filled" with potential errors and misconceptions. This…

Gagatsis, Athanasios; Panaoura, Areti – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
The study aimed to investigate students' conceptions on the notion of absolute value and their abilities in applying the specific notion in routine and non-routine situations. A questionnaire was constructed and administered to 17-year-old students. Data were analysed using the hierarchical clustering of variables and the implicative method, while…

Poon, Kin-Keung; Leung, Chi-Keung – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
The purpose of the study reported herein was to identify the common mistakes made by junior secondary students in Hong Kong when learning algebra and to compare teachers' perceptions of students' ability with the results of an algebra test. An algebra test was developed and administered to a sample of students (aged between 13 and 14 years). From…
