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…

John Mangundu – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
Education institutions globally, are increasingly driven to integrate innovative technologies in teaching spaces. While many studies have been conducted on e-learning, blended learning and m-learning, only a few studies have concentrated on the STEM preservice teachers' e-readiness for using online multimodal teaching methods in developing…

Anthony A. Essien; Corin Mathews; Herman Tshesane; Maria Weitz; Lawan Abdulhamid; Tasmiyah Hoosen; Lincoln Lavans – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
Research on mathematical equivalence, and to some extent, on number structure in early grade mathematics, has shown that most students at primary and secondary levels understand these concepts instrumentally rather than relationally. The study reported in this paper uses a design research approach to explore both mathematical equivalence and…

Mellony Graven; Hamsa Venkat – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
This paper focuses on the Southern African Association for Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education's (SAARMSTE's) role as a platform supporting research dissemination and connecting researchers in early grades mathematics (EGM) in the Southern African region. A review of the Long Papers in SAARMSTE over the last 20 years supports…

Nicky Roberts; Kimberley Porteus – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
Teacher quality in primary schools in South Africa is a serious concern, and how best to prepare teachers in initial teacher education--with regard to mathematics--remains an open and vexing question. There is a confluence of challenges facing the mathematics education community in South Africa: poor conceptual understanding of mathematics amongst…

Lise Westaway; Lyn Webb; Maria Weitz; Hanlie Botha – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
This paper examines the conceptions of 'number sense' as promoted in pre-service primary mathematics education courses at 11 South African Higher Education Institutions through the texts used by academics or prescribed for students. While all the participating institutions agree that the development of primary school learners' 'number sense' is…

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…

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'…

Jita, Thuthukile; Sintema, Edgar J. – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Information and communication technology (ICT) competences are among the most important requirements to effectively teach mathematics and science in today's classrooms. Teacher educators in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region have prioritised ICT competences for pre-service teachers (PSTs) to effectively select suitable…

Hechter, J.; Stols, G.; Combrinck, C. – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
The literature describes different stances concerning the focus on how mathematics should be taught, with some preferring a conceptual knowledge approach and others a procedural knowledge approach. The current study investigated the relationship between students' conceptual and procedural knowledge in a calculus context. To better understand the…

Kok, Petrus Jacobus – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
Over several years, first-year pre-service education students regularly experienced difficulty with engineering graphics activities. Research has already established that these activities require the use of well-developed spatial visualisation which is, for the most part, determined by a persons' spatial experience. The importance of this study…

Govender, Reginald Gerald; Govender, Desmond Wesley – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
The emphasis on programming and robotics owing to the unfolding of the Fourth Industrial Revolution on the African continent has led the South African National Department of Education to propose a new subject in Grades R to 9. Hence, the training and development of pre-service teachers is crucial so that they can respond to the skills needed in…
