Mutambara, Lillias Hamufari Natsai; Bansilal, Sarah – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Many mathematics education researchers agree that students struggle to understand the key concepts in linear algebra courses. The purpose of this study was to examine in-service teachers' errors and misconceptions in the area of linear combinations. The participants were 73 Zimbabwean mathematics teachers who were enrolled in an in-service…

Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
We present action research of a problem posed as part of a multi-participant national (Israeli) test checking the mathematical knowledge of high school students at the ages of 16-17, where some of those who solved this problem made an error by using the converse to a well-known theorem, where the converse is not true. In order to examine the…

Cetin, Ibrahim; Dev, Serife – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
This study investigated the methods that pre-service teachers employed while finding volume using integration and the reasons why they utilized these methods (problems); the accuracy of their solutions was also analyzed in this study. Case study design, a qualitative research method, was used for this study. 45 sophomore pre-service teachers…

Cronin, Anthony; Intepe, Gizem; Shearman, Donald; Sneyd, Alison – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
This paper explores analysis of feedback data collected from student consultations at two mathematics support centres at universities in Australia and Ireland. Unstructured text data was collected over six years and includes qualitative data on student queries collected during the consultations from mathematics and statistics related subjects.…

Wheeler, Ann; Champion, Joe – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
Learning to write formal mathematical proofs presents a major challenge to undergraduates. Students who have succeeded in algorithm-intensive courses such as calculus often find the abstract logic and nonprocedural nature of proof writing to be technically difficult, ambiguous and "filled" with potential errors and misconceptions. This…

Sahin, Ömer; Gökkurt, Burçin; Soylu, Yasin – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2016
The aim of the study is to examine prospective mathematics teachers' pedagogical content knowledge in terms of knowledge of understanding students and knowledge of instructional strategies which are the subcomponents of pedagogical content knowledge. The participants of this research consist of 98 prospective teachers who are studying in two…

Prentice, J. S. C. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
A simple nonstiff linear initial-value problem is used to demonstrate the amplification of round-off error in the course of using a second-order Runge-Kutta method. This amplification is understood in terms of an appropriate expression for the global error. An implicit method is then used to show how the roundoff error may actually be suppressed.…

Yang, Yajun; Gordon, Sheldon P. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
This article examines the question of finding the best quadratic function to approximate a given function on an interval. The prototypical function considered is f(x) = e[superscript x]. Two approaches are considered, one based on Taylor polynomial approximations at various points in the interval under consideration, the other based on the fact…

Añino, María Magdalena; Merino, Gabriela; Miyara, Alberto; Perassi, Marisol; Ravera, Emiliano; Pita, Gustavo; Waigandt, Diana – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
This paper describes an action-research experience carried out with second year students at the School of Engineering of the National University of Entre Ríos, Argentina. Vector calculus students played an active role in their own learning process. They were required to present weekly reports, in both oral and written forms, on the topics studied,…

Bruno, A.; Espinel, M. C. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2009
This article details the results of a written test designed to reveal how education majors construct and evaluate histograms and frequency polygons. Included is a description of the mistakes made by the students which shows how they tend to confuse histograms with bar diagrams, incorrectly assign data along the Cartesian axes and experience…

Tariq, V. N. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
This study extends the debate concerning the mathematical skills deficit of bioscience undergraduates towards a deeper understanding of their mathematics learning, since only through the latter can appropriate and effective explicit teaching be implemented. Three hundred and twenty-six first-year bioscience undergraduates, from three pre- and four…
