Regina Mahadewsing; Diana Getrouw; Sharon M. Calor – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2024
We conducted a descriptive study among first-year engineering students at the Anton de Kom University of Suriname. We analyzed students' errors regarding necessary prior knowledge in a calculus A exam. We found that the stage of the solution in which prior knowledge is required impacts the importance of prior knowledge. We also found that many…

Anass El Guenyari; Mohamed Chergui; Bouazza El Wahbi – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
The present study falls into the efforts to improve practices for addressing errors produced by learners in various situations involving the calculation of integrals. We attempt to clarify as precisely as possible the types of errors that secondary school students produce when using integrals in algebraic and graphical frames. Based on the…

Esty Saraswati Nur Hartiningrum; Subanji; I. Made Sulandra – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
Students' experience errors in solving proportional problems and prospective teachers' experience were the same thing. Research that explained the wrong strategy for understanding proportional problems still needed to be completed. Objectives to describe the wrong strategies chosen by prospective teachers in solving proportional questions and the…

Katja Lenz; Frank Reinhold; Gerald Wittmann – Research in Mathematics Education, 2024
When learning about fractions, teaching usually follows certain topics -- e.g. part of the whole, fraction equivalence, and size comparison. Not yet answered is whether students' conceptual and procedural knowledge of fractions is coherent between those topics. To answer this question, we performed a latent profile analysis of data from N = 1005…

Nadia M. Theba; Craig Pournara; Shikha Takker – Pythagoras, 2024
Developing structure sense is an important part of learning algebra. We investigated learners' structure sense of algebraic expressions involving brackets. This led us to propose the constructs "surface structure" sense and "systemic structure" sense. Using a random sample of 58 Grade 10 learners scoring above 40% in a test, we…

Hamidah; Zaenuri; Isnarto; Arief Agoestanto – Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2025
This study's purpose was to analyse the relationship between geometric thinking skills with self-regulated learning and with students' basic geometry skills. Furthermore, analyze student errors in solving geometry problems based on their self-regulated learning to determine the optimal geometry learning environment for geometry thinking skills.…

Moeketsi Mosia; Mogalatjane Edward Matabane; Tshele John Moloi – Research in Social Sciences and Technology, 2023
Euclidean geometry provides an opportunity for learners to learn argumentation and develop inductive and deductive reasoning. Despite the significance of Euclidean geometry for developing these skills, learner performance in mathematics, particularly geometry, remains a concern in many countries. Thus, the current study examined the nature of…

El Mahdi Lamaizi; Larbi Zraoula; Bouazza El Wahbi – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) is an emerging and widely implemented remedial educational approach that is currently being piloted in many countries. Morocco has been experimenting with this approach since the 2022-2023 school year. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of using the TARL approach as a remedial model in addressing…

Chiew Leng Ng; Cheng Meng Chew – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
Despite statistics learning becoming more important during this information explosion era, many students still deem the subject complex and challenging. Measures of dispersion, a critical component of statistical knowledge that students often struggle with, have received little attention in research on statistics education. The goal of this study…

Ilgun Dibek, Munevver; Toker, Zerrin – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2022
This study seeks to ascertain the degree to which context-based items are offered in Turkish mathematics textbooks as well as the quality of the items in terms of item writing guidelines, whether or not they are given as traditional or context-based. A qualitative research approach is used in this study. The eighth-grade mathematics textbook used…

Faizah, Siti; Nusantara, Toto; Sudirman; Rahardi, Rustanto – Online Submission, 2022
Thinking is a tool to construct knowledge in learning mathematics. However, some college students have not been fully aware of the importance of constructing their knowledge. Therefore, this study aims to explore students' thinking processes in completing mathematical proofs through assimilation and accommodation schemes. This research was…

Marchisio, Marina; Roman, Fabio; Sacchet, Matteo – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2021
The role of mathematical modelling pertains several disciplines, both STEM and non-STEM, and various fields: education, academy, work, everyday and social life. Despite its importance, it is not uncommon to see university students facing difficulties with the use of Mathematics to create models, even when mathematical entities that play a role in…

Savi, Alexander O.; Deonovic, Benjamin E.; Bolsinova, Maria; van der Maas, Han L. J.; Maris, Gunter K. J. – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2021
In learning, errors are ubiquitous and inevitable. As these errors may signal otherwise latent cognitive processes, tutors--and students alike--can greatly benefit from the information they provide. In this paper, we introduce and evaluate the Systematic Error Tracing (SET) model that identifies the possible causes of systematically observed…

Bojorque, Gina; Gonzales, Neli; Wijns, Nore; Verschaffel, Lieven; Torbeyns, Joke – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2021
Young children's early repeating patterning abilities are important foundations for their later mathematical development. Prior studies on young children's repeating patterning abilities have been conducted exclusively in developed countries differing in economic, societal, and educational characteristics from developing countries. In this study,…

Özdemir, Ercan – Shanlax International Journal of Education, 2022
The present study investigates the understanding of the equals sign among middle school students. The study data were gathered from a total of 433 middle school students (111 in the fifth grade, 106 in the sixth grade, 95 in the seventh grade and 121 in the eighth grade) using a ten-item equals sign test developed by the researcher. The study…
