Lecture capture (LC), the process of recording face-to-face lectures for future viewing, has become a common technology in Western universities in the twenty-first century, yet research on its effectiveness has lagged behind its implementation. Despite the rapid, widespread implementation, research regarding the impact LC has on pedagogy and…

Mathematicians frequently attend their peers' lectures to learn new mathematical content. The goal of this paper is to investigate what mathematicians learned from the lectures. Our research took place at a 2-week workshop on inner model theory, a topic of set theory, which was largely comprised of a series of lectures. We asked the six workshop…

Math anxiety negatively affects student learning and academic performance. Students with high math anxiety exhibit physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. As a result, they tend to avoid mathematics and mathematics-related situations, perform poorly, and exhibit deficiencies in working memory. Research studies have shown that inquiry-based…

In traditional mathematics lectures the instructor normally writes the definitions, theorems, and proofs covered on the board, and gives informal oral explanations that help to make sense of them. The students have to take notes. However, there are serious problems concerning students' note-taking in traditional mathematics lectures. Students…

Note-taking in tertiary education is a challenging activity which requires listening, processing and recording new information at the same time. However, in lectures at a high presentation rate, students often have to choose between these activities. One solution which is frequently proposed to mitigate this problem is the use of guided notes,…

This paper aims to contribute to the growing field of research on teaching practices in higher education, with a focus on the prevalent yet unresearched practice of concept introduction in lectures. This small-scale case-study provides data which lend themselves to a comparative analysis, with a view to describing and accounting for the dispersion…

Literature portrays advanced mathematics lecturing as a uniform teaching style, often criticized for offering minimal opportunities for student participation. In this paper we present results from a comparative case study of two instructors' facilitation of student participation in Real Analysis lectures. Analyzing fieldnotes from several observed…

Flipped classrooms are increasingly popular due to improvements in online technology and expected benefits in student engagement and learning. Although research has increased dramatically in the last 10 years, few studies have assessed the effectiveness of flipping large enrollment, barrier mathematics courses. Creating a comprehensive flipped…

The metaphors that students form and encounter have been shown to exert a powerful influence on how they think about mathematics. In this paper, we explore the linguistic metaphors about learning and doing mathematics that were prevalent in 11 advanced mathematics lectures. We present four metaphor clusters that were common in the corpus that we…

This article explores the transition from traditional to hybrid and fully online flipped classroom models in the Bachelor of Educational Sciences program at the University of Luxembourg, focusing on the mathematics education of pre-service elementary school teachers. Over eight years (2014-2022), the program evolved from teacher-centred lectures…

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of research-based learning conducted remotely through the use of the Moodle learning management system using the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) evaluation model. Data sources include lecturers, students, faculty documents, study program materials, and Moodle learning management…

Despite the increasing popularity of using video-recorded lectures, we still understand little about how different video styles and study strategies during video lectures may affect student learning. In this paper, we present a systematic investigation of video-recorded lectures in the context of secondary school mathematics education. Study 1…

In this article we present a case study concerning a simple but efficient technical and logistic concept for the realization of blended teaching of mathematics and its applications in theoretical mechanics that was conceived, tested and implemented at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering (DICAM) of the University of…

In a flipped classroom, an increasingly popular pedagogical model, students view a video lecture at home and work on exercises with the instructor during class time. Advocates of the flipped classroom claim the practice not only improves student achievement, but also ameliorates the achievement gap. We conduct a randomized controlled trial at West…

The value and importance of lectures in higher education is part of a modern education discourse worldwide. This study aims to estimate the importance of lectures for prospective teachers of kindergarten, preschool and early primary school. We analysed academic achievements of prospective teachers who had either mandatorily or voluntarily attended…
