Alice Lemmo – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
The use of digital technologies in teaching and learning processes has opened new and wide frontiers in mathematics education. Research in education moves towards teaching and learning (and assessing) twenty-first-century skills and computer-based testing seems an interesting possibility for assessing such skills. From this perspective, comparing…

Faulkner, Fiona; Breen, Cormac; Prendergast, Mark; Carr, Michael – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
In 2010 a mathematics curriculum was introduced in Irish second level schools entitled 'Project Maths' (PM). It aimed to refocus second level mathematics teaching and learning away from an over emphasis on procedural mathematics towards problem solving and real understanding [Department of Education and Skills (DES). (2010). "Report of the…

Borji, Vahid; Radmehr, Farzad; Font, Vicenç – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
The goal of the present study is to investigate the impact of procedural and conceptual teaching on students' mathematical performance over time. For this purpose, implicit differentiation and integration by parts were taught in two different ways to first-year university students of two different calculus courses: one course with Conceptual…

Glynn-Adey, Parker – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
In this classroom note, we describe the use of a wiki to aggregate student solutions to calculation-based mathematics problems. We outline the setup of the wiki used to support this project, the administrative issues involved in running a wiki, and student reaction to the wiki project. We will describe how students participated, and were assessed,…

Hwang, Jihyun; Choi, Kyong Mi – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
This research is a secondary analysis with Korean students' data collected in the TIMSS 2015 to describe the moderation effects of instructional practices on the relationships between students' emotional dispositions toward mathematics and mathematics achievement. From the TIMSS 2015 database, we collected mathematics achievement scores, a…

Gökkurt Özdemir, Burçin; Erdem, Emrullah; Örnek, Tugba; Soylu, Yasin – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
Many people consider problem solving as a complex process in which variables such as "x," "y" are used. Problems may not be solved by only using "variable." Problem solving can be rationalized and made easier using practical strategies. When especially the development of children at younger ages is considered, it is…

Bütüner, Suphi Önder – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
The aim of this study is to compare students' use of number sense strategies based on their mathematics success levels. Participants were 129 seventh graders from three elite secondary schools in Trabzon. Data were collected through a written examination with 10 problems and semi-structured interviews. Interview data were analyzed by considering…

Hong, Dae S.; Choi, Kyong Mi – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
This paper compares sections on functions and linear functions from two Korean textbooks and an American standards-based textbook (University of Chicago School Mathematics Project [UCSMP] Algebra) to understand differences and similarities among these textbooks through horizontal and vertical analyses. We found that these textbooks provide…

Sangwin, Christopher J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2015
The goal of this paper is to examine single variable real inequalities that arise as tutorial problems and to examine the extent to which current computer algebra systems (CAS) can (1) automatically solve such problems and (2) determine whether students' own answers to such problems are correct. We review how inequalities arise in contemporary…

Murphy, Julia; Chang, Jen-Mei; Suaray, Kagba – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2016
Flipped learning is gaining traction in K-12 for enhancing students' problem-solving skills at an early age; however, there is relatively little large-scale research showing its effectiveness in promoting better learning outcomes in higher education, especially in mathematics classes. In this study, we examined the data compiled from both…

Almeida, Rut; Bruno, Alicia – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
This paper analyses the strategies used by pre-service primary school teachers for solving simple addition problems involving negative numbers. The findings reveal six different strategies that depend on the difficulty of the problem and, in particular, on the unknown quantity. We note that students use negative numbers in those problems they find…

Hong, Dae S. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
In its mathematics standards, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) states that problem solving is an integral part of all mathematics learning and exposure to problem solving strategies should be embedded across the curriculum. Furthermore, by high school, students should be able to use, decide and invent a wide range of strategies.…

Tariq, V. N. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
This study extends the debate concerning the mathematical skills deficit of bioscience undergraduates towards a deeper understanding of their mathematics learning, since only through the latter can appropriate and effective explicit teaching be implemented. Three hundred and twenty-six first-year bioscience undergraduates, from three pre- and four…

Lutfiyya, Lutfi A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1998
An instrument developed for measuring mathematical thinking was administered to high school students in Nebraska to determine the effects of class level and gender on mathematical thinking. Results showed significant differences in mathematical thinking due to class level in favor of higher class levels with the exception of grades 11 and 12. (PVD)
