Said Hadjerrouit – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2024
This article aims to problematize the role of programming in mathematics education. Problematizing involves acknowledging a deeper complexity in the understanding of programming than originally perceived and questioning its assumed value in mathematics education. This approach entails identifying its underlying paradigmatic assumptions in relation…

Tong Tong; Feipeng Pi; Siyan Zheng; Yi Zhong; Xiaochun Lin; Yajun Wei – Research in Science Education, 2025
Students' success in physics problem-solving extends beyond conceptual knowledge of physics, relying significantly on their mathematics skills. Understanding the specific contributions of different mathematics skills to physics problem-solving can offer valuable insights for enhancing physics education. Yet such studies are rare, particularly at…

Helena Johansson; Magnus Österholm – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
It is agreed that algebra has an important role in physics, particularly through handling symbols. A lot of previous research has focused on how mathematics is used in physics from perspectives where mathematics is taken for granted, and not addressing potential differences of mathematics in the physics classroom and in the mathematics classroom.…

Lee, Scott A. – Physics Teacher, 2022
Most physics courses begin with one-dimensional kinematics, which is usually restricted to the case of constant acceleration. Here we report a unique exercise for an introductory algebra-based physics course involving the running and non-constant acceleration of the theropod dinosaur "Dilophosaurus wetherilli" and the world-famous…

Stickles, Paula R. – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2022
Quantitative reasoning takes on different meanings based on experience and background. Across the curriculum students have various needs for their quantitative reasoning experience. As a result, at our university students have a range of choices that more closely fit their future needs. Seven different departments across campus offer quantitative…

K. Ann Renninger; Ruth C. Elias; Mariko J. Kamiya; Jennifer N. Paige; Raymond A. Youngblood – Computer Science Education, 2025
Background and Context: Integrating computer science (CS) and math in classrooms is an increasingly recognized way for schools to address national CS mandates. There is a need to understand how professional development (PD) can support teachers to integrate. Objective: We examined math teachers' interest, and confidence, in math, CS, and student…

Divis, Danielle – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Previous research suggests that integrating music into mathematics can benefit students' mathematics learning but leaves questions as to exactly how students interact with music context and mathematics simultaneously. This study used a descriptive multiple-case study design to understand the way high school students utilize music while engaging in…

Jeffrey A. Anderson; Bryan B. Nguyen – PRIMUS, 2024
Many students who enroll in a first course in linear algebra major in STEM disciplines other than mathematics. Teachers who serve such students may find it difficult to provide authentic problems from these broader areas that ignite students' interest in linear algebra. In this paper, we highlight an interdisciplinary learning activity that…

O'Neill, Christopher; Silverstein, Lily – PRIMUS, 2023
The authors describe their approach to teaching a course on finite fields and combinatorial applications, including block designs and error-correcting codes, using a hybrid of lectures and active learning. Under the discussed classroom model, there are two lecture days and two discovery-based discussion days each week. Discussions center around…

Otte, Michael Friedrich – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2020
Reflection on the theme of the paper makes one to remember Sir Snow's 1959 lecture on The Two Cultures in which Snow had advanced the thesis that the sciences and the humanities had become split into two cultures and had argued that this division had become a major handicap to solving the world's problems. Mathematics education itself has always…

Joseph M. Furner – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2024
This paper will provide several examples of science and mathematics integration: navigation/map-reading, ecology/ecosystems/population growth, and chemistry/molecular structures. This paper underscores integrating STEM subjects with problem-based learning with technology such as video/computer simulations/programming/coding and the dynamic free…

Duli Pllana – Online Submission, 2024
The aim of the exploratory method research centered on the presence of mathematical tools in STEM through three main questions: Is mathematics an essential tool in the field of STEM? Can mathematics complete projects solely with mathematical and digital tools? Does understanding mathematical modeling affect STEM teaching? A better understanding of…

Gross, Thomas J.; Li, Qingxia; McCarroll, Patricia – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the preliminary outcomes of a learning community intervention (LC), which was based on the performance pyramid theoretical model of student supports. The LC integrated college algebra into biology course work. We used a quasi-experimental design to compare LC students to separate General Biology I and…

Casey Hord; Anna Fricano DeJarnette; Shelby Yates; Kilee Wolfe; Lizzie Bernys; Ian Byard; Ashley Bruner; Allison Patterson; Hannah E. Libby; Meghan A. O’Connor – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2024
The researchers conducted a qualitative case study on a learning community comprising special education and psychology majors. This community was strategically organized to foster interdisciplinary learning among its members and to design interventions for students struggling with mathematics anxiety, specifically in classes like Algebra 1.…

Alexandria A. Viegut – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Fractions are foundational for success in algebra and STEM, but they are notoriously difficult for students. In past work, two separate branches of research from psychology and math education have studied fractions knowledge using different, isolated approaches. In this dissertation, I synthesize research from both fields about proportional…
