Litvak, Nelly; Kula, Fulya – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Through the global pandemic, the single greatest challenge at universities has been the move towards digital assessment. In this classroom note, we describe our new no-exam assessment setup in a Statistics course for third-year bachelor Mechanical Engineering students. The main idea is to assess the students based on self-generated problems.…

Carolyn Johns – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Undergraduate peer drop-in mathematics tutoring is a common form of support at the university level, yet research regarding how to train this specific group of tutors is underspecified. This paper aims to describe a training program for this population that is grounded in mathematics education research. It serves as a first step in conducting a…

Paul Andrews; Jöran Petersson; Judy Sayers; Eva Rosenqvist – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
In this paper, drawing on semi-structured interviews with generalist teachers of year-one children in England and Sweden, we examine comparatively the influence of the intended curriculum (teachers in both countries work within mandated national curricula) and the received curriculum (the collectively assumed efficacious practices and goals handed…

Davies, Ben; Miller, David; Infante, Nicole – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
We report on a series of task-based interviews in which nine mathematicians were asked to evaluate a series of six mathematical arguments, purportedly produced either by fellow mathematicians or undergraduate students. In this paper, we attend to the role of context in mathematicians' responses, leading to four themes in expectations when…
