This article reports on a study of Kuwaiti college students' knowledge about the concept of functions. It also shows the connections these students make between different representations of functions. The results indicated that most students (96%) were unable to provide a definition of a function and only a third could provide examples of a…

Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
We present action research of a problem posed as part of a multi-participant national (Israeli) test checking the mathematical knowledge of high school students at the ages of 16-17, where some of those who solved this problem made an error by using the converse to a well-known theorem, where the converse is not true. In order to examine the…

Aliustaoglu, Feyza; Tuna, Abdulkadir – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
This research aims to investigate the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of prospective mathematics teachers on the subject of limits, based on the two components of PCK: the knowledge of student understanding and the knowledge of instructional strategies. The research sample comprises 33 fourth-year prospective Mathematics teachers (known…

Gonda, Dalibor; Tirpáková, Anna – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
The article presents one of the possible ways of overcoming the misconception that is one of the myths about mathematics, which says that teaching mathematics is based only on the transfer of mathematical knowledge in the finished form -- often in the form of certain algorithms. The newly proposed method of access to mathematics teaching is…

Cook, Samuel A.; Fukawa-Connelly, Timothy – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2016
Studies have shown that at the end of an introductory statistics course, students struggle with building block concepts, such as mean and standard deviation, and rely on procedural understandings of the concepts. This study aims to investigate the understandings entering freshman of a department of mathematics and statistics (including mathematics…

Lim, Kien H.; Buendia, Gabriela; Kim, Ok-Kyeong; Cordero, Francisco; Kasmer, Lisa – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
The prevalence of prediction in grade-level expectations in mathematics curriculum standards signifies the importance of the role prediction plays in the teaching and learning of mathematics. In this article, we discuss benefits of using prediction in mathematics classrooms: (1) students' prediction can reveal their conceptions, (2) prediction…
