Grotlüschen, Anke; Buddeberg, Klaus; Redmer, Alina; Ansen, Harald; Dannath, Jesper – Adult Education Quarterly: A Journal of Research and Theory, 2019
Adult numeracy is underresearched especially regarding numeracy practices. Research shows general correlations between numeracy skills and the use of these skills, indicating that low proficient groups use their skills less often than others do. Earlier research also shows correlations of low numeracy skills and practices with low income. Both…

Weigand, Hans-Georg; Bichler, Ewald – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2010
Many empirical investigations concerning the use of computer algebra systems (CAS) and symbolic calculators (SC) are restricted to a period of only a few weeks. They do not show long-term effects on students understanding. Therefore, a long term project (2003-2012) was started to test the use of symbolic calculators in Bavarian…

Weigand, Hans-Georg – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, 2009
A long-term project (2005-2012) was started to test the use of symbolic calculators (SCs) in Bavarian grammar schools (Germany) in Grade 10, 11 and 12. The results showed the necessity of having better diagnostics of the students' ability to understand the mathematics and their ability to work with the SC. How does a student understand particular…

Schmidt, Karsten; Kohler, Anke; Moldenhauer, Wolfgang – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2009
This paper reports on the effects the use of a pocket calculator-based computer algebra system (CAS) has on the performance in mathematics of grade 11 students in Germany. A project started at 8 of about one hundred upper secondary schools in the federal state of Thuringia in 1999; 3 years later the former restrictions on the use of technology in…
