Adeneye O. A. Awofala; Modiu K. Olaguro; Samuel A. Olaoluwa – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2025
In university education, lecturers often adopt didactic lectures in undergraduate calculus classes. This method has been judged for making students passive recipients of calculus knowledge who cannot construct their own knowledge of the discipline. One way to make didactic lecture more interactive and engaging in calculus class is to encourage…

Charity N. Watson; Pablo Duran; Adam Castillo; Edgar Fuller; Geoff Potvin; Laird Kramer – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
College calculus plays an important role in STEM students' degree and career aspirations. One of the key factors considered in assessing a student's ability to be successful in calculus is their proficiency in topics from prior mathematics courses such as algebra and precalculus. This study set out to examine the impact of students' precalculus…
