Hyland, Diarmaid; van Kampen, Paul; Nolan, Brien – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
This paper reports on data obtained during semi-structured interviews with students who had recently experienced a guided inquiry approach to learning ordinary differential equations (ODEs) in a service-taught module. Previous research identified the strengths and weaknesses of similar cohorts of students. The results from that research informed…

Hyland, Diarmaid; van Kampen, Paul; Nolan, Brien – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
This paper reports on an intervention as part of which direction fields were introduced to students learning ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The intervention was designed and implemented to address issues with students' conceptions of the solutions of ODEs. These were identified by a diagnostic survey and through a review of the…
