Antonio González; Víctor Manero; Alberto Arnal-Bailera; María Luz Puertas – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
This work is devoted to exploring proof abilities in Graph Theory of undergraduate students of the Degree in Computer Engineering and Technology of the University of Seville. To do this, we have designed a questionnaire consisting of five open-ended items that serve as instrument to collect data concerning their proof skills when dealing with…

Zhong Zhengtao; Riyan Hidayat – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2025
Incorporating technology into educational processes is increasingly necessary to address the complexities of contemporary learning environments. This study investigates the impact of Augmented Reality (AR) on the academic performance of third-grade students in the areas of graphs and geometry. A quasi-experimental design was employed, comparing a…

Gavilán-Izquierdo, José María; Gallego-Sánchez, Inés; González, Antonio; Puertas, María Luz – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2022
In this exploratory work, the discourse of first-year computer engineering undergraduate students of graph theory was analyzed with the aim of improving the teaching of this branch of mathematics. The theoretical framework used is the theory of commognition, specifically, we focus on commognitive conflicts because they are learning opportunities…

Hoban, Richard A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
Many students do not have a deep understanding of slope. This paper defines what a deep understanding of slope is in terms of mathematics-education theory. The various factors which help explain why such a deep understanding is difficult to acquire are then discussed. These factors include the following: the different representations for slope;…

Žakelj, Amalija; Klancar, Andreja – European Journal of Educational Research, 2022
Visual representations and the process of visualisation have an important role in geometry learning. The optimal use of visual representations in complex multimedia environments has been an important research topic since the end of the last century. For the purpose of the study presented in this paper, we designed a model of learning geometry with…

Bülbül, Buket Özüm; Güler, Mustafa; Gürsoy, Kadir; Güven, Bülent – International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, 2020
Although numerous studies have investigated how technology affects academic achievement, very few have focused on the purpose of the use of technology in mathematics education. This current study examines how student teachers (STs) benefit from GeoGebra as one of the Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) while solving continuity problems. In order to…

Gíslason, Ingólfur – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2021
In this article, I present a meaning-making trajectory of a teacher-class dialogue on digital, dynamic, geometric-functional tasks in an Icelandic upper-secondary classroom of low-attaining students. Learning is seen from a dialogical perspective, as taking up a more mathematical discourse, which here revolves in particular around the language of…

Buser, Peter; Semmler, Klaus-Dieter – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2017
These pages aim to explain and interpret why the late Mika Seppälä, a conformal geometer, proposed to model student study behaviour using concepts from conformal geometry, such as Riemann surfaces and Strebel differentials. Over many years Mika Seppälä taught online calculus courses to students at Florida State University in the United States, as…

Kurtulus, Aytaç – Online Submission, 2019
The aim of this study was to improve pre-service teachers' ability to infer cross-sections of geometric solids with Wolfram demonstrations and Mathematica in Analytic Geometry II course. The study was conducted with third year students studying Elementary Mathematics Education. In this study, the pre-test--post-test control group design was used.…

Günzel, Martin; Suchopárová, Tereza; Binterová, Helena; Šulista, Marek – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2017
In this paper, the authors present results of their pilot research on nonverbal elements' perception. They pay attention to a not yet well established system of evaluation in mathematics textbooks from the perspective of nonverbal elements and sum up their findings from pilot researches on pupils' operations with nonverbal elements. Pilot surveys…

Martínez-Zarzuelo, Angélica; Roanes-Lozano, Eugenio; Fernández-Díaz, María José – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2017
The educational laws establish an organization and a grouping of the contents of the educational system they rule. As far as we know, the set of experts who design it neither follow precise objective criteria nor use computer tools. That is why they are not usually rotund. We consider that defining precise objective criteria is the key to develop…

Habre, Samer – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
Covariational reasoning has been the focus of many studies but only a few looked into this reasoning in the polar coordinate system. In fact, research on student's familiarity with polar coordinates and graphing in the polar coordinate system is scarce. This paper examines the challenges that students face when plotting polar curves using the…

Laine, A. D. – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2015
There are many geometrical approaches to the solution of the quadratic equation with real coefficients. In this article it is shown that the monic quadratic equation with complex coefficients can also be solved graphically, by the intersection of two hyperbolas; one hyperbola being derived from the real part of the quadratic equation and one from…

Padula, Janice – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2012
When hoping to initiate or sustain students' interest in mathematics teachers should always consider relevance, relevance to students' lives and in the middle and later years of instruction in high school and university, accessibility. A topic such as the mathematics behind networks science, more specifically scale-free graphs, is up-to-date,…

Mofolo-Mbokane, Batseba; Engelbrecht, Johann; Harding, Ansie – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
The study aims to identify areas of difficulty in learning about volumes of solids of revolution (VSOR) at a Further Education and Training college in South Africa. Students' competency is evaluated along five skill factors which refer to knowledge skills required to succeed in performing tasks relating to applications of the definite integral, in…
