Nadav Marco; Alik Palatnik – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
This study proposes a model of several dimensions through which products of teachers' context-based mathematics problem posing (PP) can be modified. The dimensions are Correctness, Authenticity, Task Assortment (consisting of Mathematical Diversity, Multiple Data Representations, Question-Answer Format, Precision-Approximation, and…

Kalman, Dan – PRIMUS, 2023
In the precalculus curriculum, logistic growth generally appears in either a discrete or continuous setting. These actually feature distinct versions of logistic growth, and textbooks rarely provide exposure to both. In this paper, we show how each approach can be improved by incorporating an aspect of the other, based on a little known synthesis…

Kerri Spooner – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
The student experience with mathematical modelling has the potential to differ in nature to the experience of a typical mathematics student. The research reported in this paper forms part of a broader study looking into tertiary learning experiences for mathematical modelling. This paper reports on: What are the student experiences when learning…

Dave Hewitt – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2024
The author has been influenced throughout his time in mathematics education by the work of Caleb Gattegno. Gattegno made extensive use of the word awareness whereas much educational literature from a psychological perspective talks about memory (for example, Justicia-Galiano, MartÌn-Puga, Linares & Pelegrina, 2017). This has, amongst other…

Helen Crompton; Sarah Ferguson – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
Geometry and spatial reasoning form the foundations of learning in mathematics. However, geometry is a subject often ignored by curriculum writers and teachers until high school, leading to students lacking in critical skills in geometric reasoning. As the United States moves into a new curriculum epoch, heralding the commencement of the national…

Lemon, Travis; Hendrickson, Scott – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
Researchers have suggested that initial attempts to change mathematics instruction often leave educators "with no framework for the kinds of specific, constructive pedagogical moves" they might make (Chazan & Ball, 1999, p. 2). The intent of this article is to introduce a framework for teaching and learning mathematics that is robust…

Uysal, Hatice Gözde; Kanadli, Sedat – Journal of Educational Technology, 2022
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of teaching based on mathematical modeling on the students' academic achievement in mathematics and science education through meta-analysis. In this study, experimental studies carried out in the national and international literature were included in the meta-analysis. As a result of the literature…

Kerri Spooner – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Gaining useful insight into real-world problems through mathematical modelling is a valued activity across several disciplines including mathematics, biology, computer science and engineering. Differential equations are a valuable tool used in modelling. Modelling provides a way for students to engage with differential equations within a…

Wade, Carol H.; Wilkens, Christian; Sonnert, Gerhard; Sadler, Philip M. – Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College, 2023
Although the secondary-tertiary transition has been investigated in mathematics education research with different focuses and theoretical approaches, it remains a major issue for students in the transition. With success in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) major at stake, we investigated a novel approach to support the…

This study investigates the relationship between first-year higher education students' (N = 405) approaches to learning and academic performance on engineering mathematics courses. In addition, we study what combinations of approaches to learning students apply, how these combinations change over time, and whether they are linked to the…

Weber, Keith; Tanswell, Fenner Stanley – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
In mathematics education research, proofs are often conceptualized as sequences of mathematical assertions. We argue that this ignores proofs that contain instructions to perform mathematical actions, often in the form of imperatives, which are common both in mathematical practice and in undergraduate mathematics textbooks. We consider in detail a…

Kara, Melike; Corum, Kimberly – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2023
In this paper, we share a mentorship model we developed and implemented while collaborating with pre-service teachers (PSTs) on their Model Eliciting Activity projects and the outcomes of the mentorship model in terms of PSTs' growth as teachers as well as researchers. For their projects, PSTs designed and developed their own mathematical modeling…

Sandra Barragán; Orlando Aya; Camilo Soto – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2023
Articulated pedagogical and didactic strategies allow improving academic quality and strengthen individual and institutional cognitive processes such as student retention. Mathematical modelling, articulated with complementary actions, contributes to teaching and learning processes within situations that go beyond the classroom since they are…

Sarah Dorothy Castle – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Most mathematicians state mathematics is a field of beauty, creativity, and innovation, yet what is echoed by students is not how mathematics allows students to explore, but rather the ways in which it constrains and does not necessitate creativity. In comparison, many students associate coding with freedom, and the ability to create and express…
