Abboud, Elias – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
In this article, we consider certain minimization problems. If d[subscript 1], d[subscript 2] and d[subscript 3] are the distances of a boundary or inner point to the sides of a given triangle, find the point which minimizes d[subscript 1][superscript n] + d[subscript 2][superscript n] + d[subscript 3][superscript n] for positive integer n. These…

Alves, Alexandre – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
Taylor series play a ubiquitous role in calculus courses, and their applications as approximants to functions are widely taught and used everywhere. However, it is not common to present the students with other types of approximations besides Taylor polynomials. These notes show that polynomials construed to satisfy certain boundary conditions at…

Hoseana, Jonathan; Stepanus, Oriza; Octora, Elvina – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
As educational systems move from onsite to online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers face the difficulty of designing online examination formats which minimize opportunities for dishonesty. In this paper, we expose our design of such a format: a protected Microsoft Excel spreadsheet containing short-answer questions, which was implemented in a…

Intepe, Gizem; Hacinliyan, Irma; Mizrahi, Eti – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
Educational success is mainly based on the formation of effective learners. Students' learning is affected by several variables, such as intelligence, motivation, teaching and learning approaches. Research showed that approaches to learning are among one of the most important variables that influence students' learning quality. They are related to…

Zakariya, Yusuf Feyisara; Nilsen, Hans Kristian; Bjørkestøl, Kirsten; Goodchild, Simon – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
Approaches to learning have been identified as crucial factors that influence students' mathematics performance. However, there have been mixed findings on which of the different approaches improve performance in undergraduate mathematics. Thus, this study aimed to unravel the specific effects of prior mathematics knowledge and approaches to…

Connolly, Cornelia; Carr, Enda; Knox, Seamus – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
The numerical ability of Irish students in international and national assessments is weaker than for literacy, particularly among higher-performing students. The aim of this study was to design a national teacher professional development programme to encourage teachers at post-primary level to develop numeracy competency across the post-primary…

Esparza Puga, Danelly Susana; Aguilar, Mario Sánchez – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
YouTube is one of the most popular sources of mathematical help among young students. In this study we explore the perspectives of engineering students on the use of YouTube videos with the intention of broadening our understanding of the general characteristics of the mathematical help that students obtain through this type of videos,…

Caviedes Barrera, Sofía; de Gamboa, Genaro; Badillo Jiménez, Edelmira Rosa – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
The area concept may appear in a wide range of problem situations. The representations used (geometrical, numerical and algebraic) in such situations entail particular practices that condition the partial area meanings. Thus, this study aims to characterize the partial area meanings mobilized in the resolution of area tasks. Each of the area…

Wu, Xiangming; Rambo-Hernandez, Karen; Fuller, Edgar; Deshler, Jessica – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
A significant portion of mathematics education research has focused on factors that impact student pursuit of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Low rates of STEM student enrollment combined with high drop-out rates have consistently drawn attention from educators, administrators and policy-makers at all levels. Many studies…

Barr, Darja; Clifton, Rodney; Renaud, Robert; Wang, Xikui – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
First-year mathematics instructors at universities across North America and the globe have been noticing a decline in the mathematics skills and preparation of their incoming students, who have been failing out of first-year mathematics courses at alarming rates. Though some universities have implemented placement or diagnostic tests to measure…

Corey, Douglas Lyman; Jones, Steven R. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
In this article we introduce a type of teaching scholarship called Lesson Analysis (LA) that helps build instructional knowledge, and an associated genre of writing called Lesson Analysis Manuscript (LAM) that shares this instructional knowledge. We briefly describe the problem LA is intended to solve, as well as key features of a LAM. In LA,…

Hill, Dilshara; Valckenborgh, Frank – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
A carefully constructed method of assessment using short, formative, invigilated in-tutorial quizzes is investigated to see how successful this method is compared to previous assessment tasks. We look at whether student engagement increased, given that students who enter university often face issues with the transition from school, and engagement…

Munakata, Mika; Monahan, Ceire; Krupa, Erin; Vaidya, Ashwin – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
Assessment is an issue that is central to the lives of educators and students alike. At all levels, from programmatic to course-specific, instructors strive to assess in a way that accurately measures achievement or progress relative to one's goals. This paper reports on students' experiences with alternative assessments in our undergraduate…

Gencev, Marian; Šalounová, Dana – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
The aim of this paper is to present a teaching proposal for the theoretical part relating to the first- and second-order linear difference equations with constant coefficients suitable for the first-year students at various types of universities. In contradistinction to the methods often applied (memorization of algorithms without a proper…

Leao, Aline A. S.; Oliveira Filho, Adaiton M.; Toledo, Franklina M. B. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
The purpose of this note is to describe a classroom activity that can be used in introductory Operations Research courses. It consists of modelling a one-dimensional puzzle using mathematical programming to produce glider models. The exercise is designed to motivate the students in solving a problem with the opportunity of producing by themselves…
