Pablo A. Duran; Adam J. Castillo; Charity Watson; Edgar Fuller; Geoff Potvin; Laird H. Kramer – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
The present paper explores the relationship between attitudes towards mathematics (ATM) and achievement in college calculus in active learning (AL) and lecture-based (LB) classrooms. Previous work on this relationship has mainly been limited to LB instruction, neglecting the impact of innovative approaches such as AL. Less attention has been paid…

Luai Al Labadi; Mohammad Saleh Bataineh; Nida Siddiqui – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed one of the most challenging situations for the academicians as well as the students all around the world. Students being the biggest stake holders of the education process, their challenges during this pandemic become even more pivotal. These challenges vary in intensity and type depending on multiple items. In this…

Geisler, Sebastian – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
The transition from school to university is a challenging process for many students which is reflected in high dropout and low examination success rates during the first year at university. Qualitative studies have found hints that students' beliefs play an important role during the transition. Due to their dialectic nature with cognitive as well…

Mullen, Claire; Pettigrew, Jim; Cronin, Anthony; Rylands, Leanne; Shearman, Donald – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
The dramatic changes brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic have changed the way in which mathematics and statistics support is offered. Students and staff have been presented with new opportunities and challenges. One-on-one interviews were conducted late in 2020 with 23 students and staff who had experience with fully online mathematics and…

Padayachee, Pragashni; Campbell, Anita L. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Recreating the social aspects of face-to-face teaching in an online environment became more challenging in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. With limited or no face-to-face interaction with students, lecturers had to explore alternative ways to recreate aspects of an engaging and supportive face-to-face learning environment. This article focuses…

Kinnear, George; Wood, Anna K.; Gratwick, Richard – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
We describe the design and evaluation of an innovative course for beginning undergraduate mathematics students. The course is delivered almost entirely online, making extensive use of computer-aided assessment to provide students with practice problems. We outline various ideas from education research that informed the design of the course, and…

Anastasakis, Marinos; Zakynthinaki, Maria; Trujillo-González, Rodrigo; García-Alonso, Israel; Petridis, Konstantinos – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In this paper we explore the difficulties engineering undergraduates encounter with tertiary mathematics. Results from our survey (N = 71) show that students in our sample face issues mostly related to the challenging nature of university mathematics, the absence of worked examples during lectures and the discontinuity of school and university…

Maciejewski, Wes – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Greater flexibility with procedures is known to be associated with greater conceptual knowledge of mathematics and vice versa. In parallel, a student's emotional relationship to mathematics -- i.e. their 'affect' -- is known to influence how they learn and perform in mathematics. For example, a confident student may engage more fully with…

Rowlett, Peter – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
A partially-automated method of assessment is proposed, in which automated question setting is used to generate individualized versions of a coursework assignment, which is completed by students and marked by hand. This is designed to be (a) comparable to a traditional written coursework assignment in validity, in that complex and open-ended tasks…

Grove, Michael; Guiry, Sophie; Croft, Tony – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
Along with a growing body of evidence of the challenges experienced by specialist and more-able mathematics students during their undergraduate studies, there now exists evidence that these students are increasingly accessing mathematics support centres as a means of enhancing their mathematical learning experience. Here, we report on a survey of…

Hong, Dae S.; Choi, Kyong Mi – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
In this study, we examined five limit lessons using Mathematical Tasks Framework to understand students' opportunities to learn cognitively challenging tasks and maintain cognitive demand during limit lessons. Our analysis of Dr A's five lessons shows that students rarely had opportunities to maintain or increase cognitive demand. There are two…

Rowlett, Peter; Smith, Edward; Corner, Alexander S.; O'Sullivan, David; Waldock, Jeff – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
A literature review establishes a working definition of recreational mathematics: a type of play which is enjoyable and requires mathematical thinking or skills to engage with. Typically, it is accessible to a wide range of people and can be effectively used to motivate engagement with and develop understanding of mathematical ideas or concepts.…

Collins, Benjamin V. C. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
The flipped classroom is becoming a popular course structure in many academic disciplines, but particularly in STEM disciplines, including mathematics. Considerable research has addressed potential advantages and challenges of teaching a flipped course, as well as examining students' attitudes towards the flipped classroom. Studies on students'…

Ní Shé, Caitríona; Mac an Bhaird, Ciarán; Ní Fhloinn, Eabhnat; O'Shea, Ann – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
In this paper we report on the outcomes of two surveys carried out in higher education institutions of Ireland; one of students attending first-year undergraduate non-specialist mathematics modules and another of their lecturers. The surveys aimed to identify the topics that these students found difficult, whether they had most difficulty with the…

Lesseig, Kristin; Krouss, Paul – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
Flipped instruction is increasing in popularity, however research that moves beyond descriptions of its implementation in mathematics classes is lacking. We sought to better understand how students taking an introductory college algebra course used the resources provided within a flipped instructional model and how students viewed such resources…
