Lena Frenken; Paul Libbrecht; Benjamin Becker; Gilbert Greefrath – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
The German national educational standards state explicitly that students should be enabled to successfully interact with dynamic geometry software. In a feasibility study on providing a standardized assessment instrument by digital means, in order to assess students' mathematical competencies, the implementation of a task with such a dynamic…

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…

Eichler, Andreas; Ferretti, Federica; Maffia, Andrea – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
International literature is increasingly disclosing the relevance of cultural aspects within the processes of teaching and learning mathematics. Knowledge is inextricably linked to the activities in which the subjects engage, and must be considered in relation to the socio-cultural context wherein the activity takes place. Literature reveals the…

Schreck, Anna; Groß Ophoff, Jana; Rott, Benjamin – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
In modern information societies, evaluating information, data, or knowledge claims is crucial. As these activities are influenced by epistemological beliefs, such beliefs are a key element of education in the sense that educational institutions intend to prepare students for professional and social life. Hence, this study aims to examine the…

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…

Pawlaschyk, Thomas; Wegner, Sven-Ake – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
In this note, we report on an implementation of discovery-oriented problems in courses on Real Analysis and Differential Equations. We explain a type of task design that gives students the opportunity to conjecture, refute and prove. What is new is that the complexity in our problems is limited and thus the tasks can also be used in homework…

Dede, Yuksel – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
This study reported the specific findings of a larger comparative study concerning Turkish and German mathematics teachers' values. The main focus was on the teaching experience of the mathematics teachers. Interactions related to nationality were also of interest. The research methodology employed in this study was a descriptive study. The…

Schmidt, Karsten; Kohler, Anke – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
The Matrix Algebra portion of the intermediate mathematics course at the Schmalkalden University Faculty of Business and Economics has been moved from a traditional classroom setting to a technology-based setting in the PC lab. A Computer Algebra System license was acquired that also allows its use on the students' own PCs. A survey was carried…

Klymchuk, Sergiy; Kachapova, Farida – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2012
This article is devoted to practical aspects of teaching and learning of probability at university. It presents the difficulties and attitudes of first-year university science and engineering students towards using paradoxes and counterexamples as a pedagogical strategy in teaching and learning of probability. It also presents a student's point of…

Ammann, Claudia; Frauendiener, Jorg; Holton, Derek – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
Before we consider the German tertiary system, we review the education system and consider other relevant background details. We then concentrate on the tertiary system and observe that the mathematical enrolments are keeping up with the overall student enrolments. At the same time, the first year mathematics enrolments for women are greater than…
