In 2010 a mathematics curriculum was introduced in Irish second level schools entitled 'Project Maths' (PM). It aimed to refocus second level mathematics teaching and learning away from an over emphasis on procedural mathematics towards problem solving and real understanding [Department of Education and Skills (DES). (2010). "Report of the…

Prendergast, Mark; Breen, Cormac; Bray, Aibhin; Faulkner, Fiona; Carroll, Brian; Quinn, Dominic; Carr, Michael – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
Many studies over the past 30 years have highlighted the important role of students' beliefs for successful problem-solving in mathematics. Given the recent emphasis afforded to problem-solving on the reformed Irish secondary school mathematics curriculum, the main aim of this study was to identify Irish students' (n = 975) beliefs about the…

Treacy, Páraic; Faulkner, Fiona – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2015
Deficiencies in beginning undergraduate students' basic mathematical skills has been an issue of concern in higher education, particularly in the past 15 years. This issue has been tracked and analysed in a number of universities in Ireland and internationally through student scores recorded in mathematics diagnostic tests. Students beginning…

Faulkner, Fiona; Hannigan, Ailish; Fitzmaurice, Olivia – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
Evidence of deficiencies in basic mathematical skills of beginning undergraduates has been documented worldwide. Many different theories have been set out as to why these declines in mathematical competency levels have occurred over time. One such theory is the widening access to higher education which has resulted in a less mathematically…

Gill, Olivia; O'Donoghue, John; Faulkner, Fiona; Hannigan, Ailish – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
Hunt and Lawson 1 displayed the evidence of decline in the mathematical standards of first-year students in Coventry University between 1991 and 1995. Gill 2 sought to investigate if this was also the case in the University of Limerick (UL). The results of diagnostic tests administered to first-year undergraduates in the science and technology…
