Fedriani, Eugenio M.; Moyano, Rafael – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2012
Finding educational truths is an inherently multivariate problem. There are many factors affecting each student and their performances. Because of this, both measuring of skills and assessing students are always complex processes. This is a well-known problem, and a number of solutions have been proposed by specialists. One of its ramifications is…

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…
