Ibili, Emin; Çat, Mevlüt; Resnyansky, Dmitry; Sahin, Sami; Billinghurst, Mark – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
The aim of this research was to examine the effect of Augmented Reality (AR) supported geometry teaching on students' 3D thinking skills. This research consisted of 3 steps: (1) developing a 3D thinking ability scale, (ii) design and development of an AR Geometry Tutorial System (ARGTS) and (iii) implementation and assessment of geometry teaching…

Ivanov, O. A.; Ivanova, V. V.; Saltan, A. A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
In this paper, we report on the results of an experiment in teaching discrete mathematics to students majoring in business informatics. We supplemented our problem-based approach to teaching the course with a set of Likert-scale surveys or questionnaires that helped improve the students' performance. On the one hand, these surveys gave us feedback…

Petrillo, Joseph – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2016
High failure rates in calculus have plagued students, teachers, and administrators for decades, while science, technology, engineering, and mathematics programmes continue to suffer from low enrollments and high attrition. In an effort to affect this reality, some educators are "flipping" (or inverting) their classrooms. By flipping, we…

Van Dyke, Frances; Malloy, Elizabeth J.; Stallings, Virginia (Lyn) – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2015
This study looks at the impact of college students' writing on a regular basis about mathematical concepts. Specifically we examine the effect of this practice on performance and attitude while controlling for confounding factors. Two professors and a total of 97 students in four different classes participated in the study. Students in the…

Zengin, Yilmaz; Tatar, Enver – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2015
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of dynamic mathematics software on the achievement of pre-service mathematics teachers in the topic of polar coordinates and to solicit their opinions about computer-assisted instruction. The study was conducted for 11 weeks with 33 pre-service teachers in the Department of Mathematics…

Ngu, Bing Hiong; Yeung, Alexander Seeshing; Phan, Huy P. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2015
An experiment using a sample of 11th graders compared text editing and worked examples approaches in learning to solve dilution and molarity algebra word problems in a chemistry context. Text editing requires students to assess the structure of a word problem by specifying whether the problem text contains sufficient, missing, or irrelevant…

Altiparmak, Kemal – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
In mathematic courses, construction of some concepts by the students in a meaningful way may be complicated. In such circumstances, to embody the concepts application of the required technologies may reinforce learning process. Onset of learning process over daily life events of the student's environment may lure their attention and may…
