Alfred Marleku; Ridvan Peshkopia; D. Stephen Voss – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
The global push to reorient social sciences in an increasingly technical direction might have a clear labour-market justification, but the efforts face headwinds from both faculty and students. This research is concerned with the fear that students would resist such a reorientation. Much of the pedagogic social-science research seeks ways to…

Tickle, Leonie; Kyng, Tim; Wood, Leigh N. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
The role of universities in preparing students to use spreadsheet and other technical software in the financial services workplace has been investigated through surveys of university graduates, university academics, and employers. It is found that graduates are less skilled users of software than employers would like, due at least in part to a…

Foley, Gregory D.; Khoshaim, Heba Bakr; Alsaeed, Maha; Er, S. Nihan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2012
Attending professional development programmes can support teachers in applying new strategies for teaching mathematics and statistics. This study investigated (a) the extent to which the participants in a professional development programme subsequently used the techniques they had learned when teaching mathematics and statistics and (b) the…

Kyng, Timothy; Tickle, Leonie; Wood, Leigh – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
Software may be used in university teaching both to enhance student learning of discipline-content knowledge and skills, and to equip students with capabilities that will be useful in their future careers. Although research has indicated that software may be used as an effective way of engaging students and enhancing learning in certain scenarios,…

Oates, Greg – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
The effective integration of technology into the teaching and learning of mathematics remains one of the critical challenges facing contemporary tertiary mathematics. This article reports on some significant findings of a wider study investigating the use of technology in undergraduate mathematics. It first discusses a taxonomy developed to…

Khasawneh, Amal A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2009
The present study is concerned with assessing Logo programming experiences among seventh grade students. A formal multiple-choice test and five performance tasks were used to collect data. The results provided that students' performance was better than the expected score by the probabilistic laws, and a very low correlation between their Logo…
