Which Mathematics Should We Teach Engineering Students? An Empirically Grounded Case for a Broad Notion of Mathematical Thinking
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cardella, Monica E. – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, 2008
While many engineering educators have proposed changes to the way that mathematics is taught to engineers, the focus has often been on mathematical content knowledge. Work from the mathematics education community suggests that it may be beneficial to consider a broader notion of mathematics: mathematical thinking. Schoenfeld identifies five…

Students' Perceptions of Institutional Practices: The Case of Limits of Functions in College Level Calculus Courses
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hardy, Nadia – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2009
This paper presents a study of instructors' and students' perceptions of the knowledge to be learned about limits of functions in a college level Calculus course, taught in a North American college institution. I modeled these perceptions using a theoretical framework that combines elements of the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic, developed…

Student Writing in the Quantitative Disciplines: A Guide for College Faculty
Direct linkDirect link
Bahls, Patrick – Jossey-Bass, An Imprint of Wiley, 2012
The book introduces readers in the often-overlooked math-related fields to the ideas of writing-to-learn (WTL) and writing in the disciplines (WID). It offers a guide to the pedagogy of writing in the mathematical sciences, and gives theoretically grounded means by which writing can be used to help undergraduate students to understand mathematical…
