Cabello, Valeria M.; Martínez, M. Loreto; Armijo, Solange; Maldonado, Lesly – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2021
Education in the early years is an excellent space for promoting integrated learning. The STEAM education model combines Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics holistically and has gained force globally, mostly in developed countries. However, in developing countries of Latin America, STEAM education programs are incipient and…

Dickson, Martina; McMinn, Melissa; Cairns, Dean; Osei-Tutu, Sharon – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2021
In rapidly developing countries such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where this study took place, having a body of competent, dedicated key workers in STEM fields is critical to growing national economies. This, in turn, requires motivated, well-qualified graduates of STEM degrees. School students' perceptions of science, scientists and science…

Braskén, Mats; Pörn, Ray – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2021
Although one of key ideas behind the introduction of STEM (or STEAM) as a unifying concept, is to emphasize the interdisciplinary character of many real world problems, there is a non-trivial educational challenge in exceeding existing subject boundaries and implementing multidisciplinary activities into the classroom. The present case study…

Pörn, Ray; Hemmi, Kirsti; Kallio-Kujala, Paula – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2021
There is limited research on teaching and learning of programming in primary school and even less about aspects concerning teaching programming from teachers' viewpoint. In this study, we explore how Finnish 1-6 primary school teachers (N=91), teaching at schools with Swedish as the language of instruction, relate to programming and teaching of…

Gorgorió, Núria; Albarracín, Lluís; Laine, Anu; Llinares, Salvador – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2021
This perspective paper draws on the interest in ensuring that students who enter primary teacher training programs have a solid background knowledge of mathematics. We describe the access criteria and requirements for admission to the primary education degree programs at the Universidad de Alicante and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, in Spain,…

Cardino, Jose M., Jr.; Ortega-Dela Cruz, Ruth A. – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2020
This study was conducted to analyse the influence of learning styles and teaching strategies on academic performance in mathematics. Surveys were conducted to 277 randomly selected grade 9 students and five purposively sample mathematics teachers. Findings reveal that most of the student-respondents have a combination of dependent, collaborative…

Haataja, Eeva; Laine, Anu; Hannula, Markku S. – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2020
This article explores five educators' conceptions of the characteristics of mathematically gifted students and a social learning environment that supports their development in a school for mathematically gifted adolescents in Finland. We conducted this qualitative study through semi-structured interviews and participant observations in a Finnish…

Hatisaru, Vesife – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2019
The present study examined lower secondary students' images of mathematics, comprised of stated attitudes to and perceived needs for mathematics, and views about mathematicians and their work. A group of 1284 lower secondary students drew a picture of mathematician at work and described their drawings. The students' drawings fell into two distinct…

Nyman, Martin; Sumpter, Lovisa – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2019
In this paper, we study year 2 and year 5 students' expressed motivations for doing mathematics. The responses were analysed using thematic analysis; first with a deductive approach using themes from previous research, and then an additional inductive analysis searching for new themes. The results show that the children express both intrinsic…

Kaarakka, Terhi; Helkala, Kirsi; Valmari, Antti; Joutsenlahti, Marjukka – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2019
MathCheck is a relatively new online tool that gives students feedback on their solutions to elementary university mathematics and theoretical computer science exercises. MathCheck was designed with constructivism learning theory in mind and it differs from other online tools as it checks the solutions step by step and shows a counter-example if…

Marotto, Carlos C. F.; Milner-Bolotin, Marina – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2018
This mixed-methods case study examines parental motivation for participation in a Canadian university-based STEM outreach event. Parents responded to a post-event questionnaire that was followed by individual interviews. The quantitative part revealed how and why parents engaged with their children's STEM education. Surprisingly, neither…

Laherto, Antti – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2018
Informal learning environments such as exhibitions in museums and science centres have the potential to promote public engagement in the societally important fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology (NST). This study contributes to research-based development of an NST exhibition by mapping educational, communicational and museographical challenges…
