Pilcher, Lynne A.; Potgieter, Marietjie; Fletcher, Lizelle – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
The logistics and cost of running large class tutorials to improve learning for students in high enrolment courses raise questions about whether the associated effort and cost are worthwhile. The option to replace these class activities with online homework with its promise of built-in feedback is attractive. Using an activity theory lens and an…

Undergraduate Mathematics Students' Reported Use of Learning Resources towards Accessing Mathematics
le Roux, Kate; Murugan, Jeff; Marquard, Stephen; Adams, Patrick – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
The topic of resources for learning mathematics commonly becomes of interest during times of disruption and rapid change in education. The considerable research on undergraduate mathematics students' resource use largely focuses on learning resources in the form of material technologies and texts. Concerned that contemporary decisions about…

Mudaly, Vimolan; Narriadoo, Drisana – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
Learners in general struggle when working with word problems. South African learners in particular have an added barrier owing to the many official languages that have been legislated. The South African Department of Basic Education, through its curriculum statements, envisages that problem solving will play a fundamental part in mathematics…

Bhaw, Nishaal; Kriek, Jeanne – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
The present study explores the validity of inferences that may be drawn from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) learner achievement data by measuring the South African curriculum-TIMSS alignment for the Grade 8 science assessments from 2007 to 2019. The Singapore curriculum--TIMSS alignment indices are a fair…

Osman, Khalid; Gerwel Proches, Cecile N. – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
The aim of the study was to ascertain the expectations and perceptions of engineering graduates regarding an engineering career in the world of work, and compare them to perspectives of academic leaders of the engineering disciplines in which these graduates studied. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study firstly entailed a quantitative survey…

Kumwenda, Khumbo; Kaminga, Atipatsa – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
The Old Mutual Mathematics Olympiad (OMMO) in Malawi is a national mathematics competition open to all final year secondary school students. In this paper, we analyse the results of the preliminary round of the competition from 2015 to 2020. We developed seven content areas for the OMMO based on core elements of the Malawi secondary school…

Mwadzaangati, Lisnet; Adler, Jill; Kazima, Mercy – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
We re-examine a Malawian teacher's lessons which, using the framework of mathematic problem-solving developed by Polya, the typology of levels of task demand from Stein and colleagues and Malawi's description of learner-centred education (LCE), were described as teacher-centred and evaluated as 'not good'. We studied seven video-recorded circle…

Lukumon, Gafari; Maharaj, Aneshkumar – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
The purpose of this study, conducted with 44 participants, was to explore their experiences of learning linear algebra using the online content and materials during COVID-19. The conceptual framework was guided by the notion of social presence and connectivisim in the context of remote learning. The study used a questionnaire comprising closed and…

Mapulanga, Thumah; Nshogoza, Gilbert; Yaw, Ameyaw – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) has the potential to influence lesson planning, teaching and students' academic performance in science. Since PCK is embodied in lesson planning (as planned PCK), this study employed the multiple-case design to describe in-depth the biology teachers' profiles of planned topic-specific PCK (plTSPCK) for…

Eriksson, Moa; Euler, Elias; Linder, Cedric; Eriksson, Urban; Govender, Nadaraj – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
This article revisits and expands upon a previous phenomenographic study characterising the qualitatively different ways in which South African undergraduate physics students may experience the use of +/- signs in one-dimensional kinematics (1DK). We find the original categorisation as applicable for interpreting Swedish university-level students'…

Gaigher, Estelle; Hattingh, Annemarie; Lederman, Judith; Lederman, Norman – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
This paper reports on a case study of South African Grade 12 learners' views about scientific inquiry. The study focuses on a non-fee-paying government school that receives curricular support and resources to specifically develop Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) teaching in a low socioeconomic setting. Data were collected…

Brodie, Karin – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Learning mathematics is as much about developing relationships with mathematics as the development of mathematics concepts and skills. Mathematics clubs usually support learners to develop relationships with mathematics through engaging with challenging mathematics problems, exploring mathematical ideas, and communicating and sharing their ideas.…
