This article is an excerpt from a master's thesis developed in Brazil, in which we approach recurrent and linear sequences, given some intriguing particularities in their definitions and the scarcity of discussion of this topic in the literature of the History of Mathematics, especially with regard to its geometric representation. Thus, we aim to…

The main aim of this study was to explore the technology-based language-learning needs of individuals learning Turkish as a foreign language. In this scope, the study sought to identify the reasons the participants chose to learn Turkish, the language-learning areas that they found the most difficult, the language-learning areas that required most…

The pace of development of computer technology and information technology over the last few decades has been unprecedented in the history of technology. Not to mention the impact this has on our daily lives. This requires our children to quickly become familiar with the mindset that is important to be able to use their IT tools effectively in…

The purpose of the study is to introduce dynamic geometry software to prospective mathematics teachers and investigate their usage processes of technology on a geometric task. The participants of the study were three prospective mathematics teachers purposefully selected from 52 sophomores by their technological pedagogical content knowledge…

The study and interest of figurate numbers can be observed even in ancient Greece. On the other hand, it becomes very important the historical understanding about an evolutionary process and the particular generalization of such 2D, 3D and m-D figurate numbers and they remain the interest of current scientific investigations. On the other hand, in…

The teaching of Mathematics in the context of the Mathematical Olympiads in Brazil constitutes a context of research still little considered, with particular interest in the teaching and the learning phenomena. In Brazil, we identified a large number of teachers and students who do not participate in official math competitions, such as the…

Youngsters use social networking sites (SNSs), especially Facebook, to stay in touch with their friends as well as for entertainment. In this quantitative research, a cross-sectional survey design and purposeful sampling method were utilized. The data were gathered from 53 faculty members and 373 undergraduate students. According to the results of…

Linear algebra differs from other mathematics courses because of the special difficulties that students have in understanding the concepts. Teaching without concretizing the concepts of Linear Algebra encouraged students to memorize definitions of concepts and rules has been articulated. Many researches show that technology-supported teaching is…

This research was conducted to examine factors affecting pre-service mathematics teachers' intentions to integrate Web 2.0 tools in their future teaching of mathematics. Thirty preservice teachers who registered for the elective course within the department comprised the study group for the research. At the beginning, middle and end of the…

The present study aimed to determine views the middle school students' located a province of Turkey towards the Class Dojo education technology used in mathematic courses. A questionnaire based on expert opinions was used for the collection of research data. The participants of the study consisted of 206 students; 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade…

In this paper the design and implementation of a digital on-line surface is presented, which reflects contemporary learning principles, perspectives, devices and trends while enhancing the selection of existing web-based systems and applications in a novel fashion. This instructor's portal, called Tanítlap, is realized via Action Research and…

In Brazil we have identified a predilection of the authors of Mathematical History books for the discussion of the fundamentals of Differential and Integral Calculus. On the other hand, when we consider the teaching of Mathematics in the school context, it is essential to know the teaching of the historical and dynamic evolution of the concepts,…

The scope of this article is an investigation into students' attitudes toward blended learning and related concepts (e.g. paperless and traditional classroom). There were 162 students who participated in this study (100 females and 62 males, with the mean age of 18.80 and its standard deviation of 1.16). The study revealed that students prefer…

This is a position paper in the field of Engineering Education, which is at the very beginning in Europe. It relates challenges in the new field to the emerging technology of (Computer) Theorem Proving (TP). Experience shows, that "teaching" abstract models, for instance the wave equation in mechanical engineering and in electrical…

Mathematical formulae are information objects that can be entered in a computer, visualized, and evaluated. Thus, by the majority of (mostly occasional) users it is also expected that they are transferable through the simple copy-paste procedure. This transfer is particularly interesting when users are involved in tasks that span different…
