Liebendörfer, Michael; Göller, Robin; Gildehaus, Lara; Kortemeyer, Jörg; Biehler, Rolf; Hochmuth, Reinhard; Ostsieker, Laura; Rode, Jana; Schaper, Niclas – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
We analyse the predictive power of learning strategies for engineering students' performance in mathematics. Learning strategies play an important role in self-regulated learning. Based on a new learning strategy questionnaire that takes into account the specifics of mathematical learning at universities, we investigated what were the strategies…

Fernández-León, Aurora; Gavilán-Izquierdo, José María; Toscano, Rocío – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
In this paper, we investigate how a research mathematician conjectures and proves when conducting her research. To be precise, the aim of this study is to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the way this research mathematician develops these mathematical practices and thus gain insight to improve the teaching and learning of these two…

Hinojos-Ramos, Jesús Eduardo; Farfán, Rosa María; Orozco-del-Castillo, Mauricio Gabriel – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
This paper is the result of a research done from the Socioepistemological Theory of Mathematics Education, perspective in which we enquire about the reasons to study trigonometric Fourier series in electrical engineering, and what historical and epistemological conditions can be considered to develop more profound meanings when this topic is…

Laudano, Francesco; Tortoriello, Francesco Saverio; Vincenzi, Giovanni – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
When dealing with elementary algorithms in the classroom, we almost always limit ourselves to considering the purely procedural aspects. In so doing, we run the risk of providing students with a distorted and reductive vision of mathematics, which could foster an attitude of disaffection towards the discipline among students. This work aims to…

Sauerheber, Richard D.; Muñoz, Brandon – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
A simple in-class demonstration of integral Calculus for first-time students is described for straightforward whole number area magnitudes, for ease of understanding. Following the Second Fundamental Theorem of the Calculus, macroscopic differences in ordinal values of several integrals, [delta]"F"(x), are compared to the regions of area…

Yavuz Mumcu, Hayal; Cansiz Aktas, Meral – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
This research has been carried out in two stages and has two main objectives. The first aim of the study is to develop a Likert-type scale which is used to determine the attitudes towards the use of mathematics in real life. The second aim is to examine the attitudes of high school students about the use of mathematics in real life according to…

Hwang, Jihyun; Choi, Kyong Mi – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
This research is a secondary analysis with Korean students' data collected in the TIMSS 2015 to describe the moderation effects of instructional practices on the relationships between students' emotional dispositions toward mathematics and mathematics achievement. From the TIMSS 2015 database, we collected mathematics achievement scores, a…

Wares, Arsalan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
The purpose of this note is to describe the mathematics that emanates from the construction of an origami box. We first construct a simple origami box from two rectangular sheets and then discuss some of the mathematical questions that arise in the context of geometry and algebra.

van der Hoff, Q.; Harding, A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
It is well-known that the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model has a family of periodic orbits, but does not possess limit cycles and therefore the model is said to be structurally unstable. The Lotka-Volterra model is a special case of a much larger group namely the quadratic population models and it can be shown that none of them can produce limit…

Seaton, Katherine A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
To date, the way that academic misconduct is manifested in undergraduate mathematics coursework has been unexamined in the literature, with the consequence that policy and preventive education can fail to address it appropriately. This paper describes the particular features of the responses expected in mathematical tasks and provides concrete…

Klemer, Anat; Rapoport, Shirley; Lev-Zamir, Hanna – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
The current study explored the difficulties teachers encounter when teaching common fractions division, focusing on teachers' knowledge concerning this issue. Nine teachers who study towards a M.Ed. degree in mathematics education demonstrated the algorithms they apply in order to solve fractions division problems, described how they teach the…

Megalou, Foteini – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
This paper describes a research project implemented in a course of Real Analysis II. The aim of this project is to analyse students' comprehension of the limiting behaviour of a function from "R"[superscript 2] to "R" at a point "P"[subscript 0] focusing on the formal definitions. Alternative definitions and other…

Johansson, B. Tomas – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
Evaluation of the cosine function is done via a simple Cordic-like algorithm, together with a package for handling arbitrary-precision arithmetic in the computer program Matlab. Approximations to the cosine function having hundreds of correct decimals are presented with a discussion around errors and implementation.
