Direct linkWarwick, Jon – PRIMUS, 2008
The teaching of mathematical modeling to undergraduate students requires that students are given ample opportunity to develop their own models and experience first-hand the process of model building. Finding an appropriate context within which modeling can be undertaken is not a simple task as it needs to be readily understandable and seen as…

Peer reviewedKnisley, Jeff – Mathematics Educator, 2002
Develops a model of mathematical learning from an exploration of educational research and personal observations. Uses Kolb's model of experiential learning to characterize four mathematical learning styles: (1) allegorizers; (2) integrators; (3) analyzers; and (4) synthesizers. These styles are viewed as corresponding to four stages of…

Faraco, G.; Gabriele, L. – Computers & Education, 2007
Simulations make it possible to explore physical and biological phenomena, where conducting the real experiment is impracticable or difficult. The implementation of a software program describing and simulating a given physical situation encourages the understanding of a phenomenon itself. Fifty-nine students, enrolled at the Mathematical Methods…

Kynigos, Chronis – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2007
This article illustrates how four teacher educators in training were challenged with respect to their epistemology and perceptions of teaching and learning mathematics through their interactions with expressive digital media during a professional development course. The research focused on their experience of communally constructing artifacts and…

Petrov, Alexander A.; Dosher, Barbara Anne; Lu, Zhong-Lin – Psychological Review, 2005
The mechanisms of perceptual learning are analyzed theoretically, probed in an orientation-discrimination experiment involving a novel nonstationary context manipulation, and instantiated in a detailed computational model. Two hypotheses are examined: modification of early cortical representations versus task-specific selective reweighting.…

Edward, Norrie S. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2004
This paper presents three evaluated case studies of the use of design activities in the early years of undergraduate engineering courses. Analyses of academic performance in these activities and in a separate test of understanding were correlated with student perceptions of the activities and with measures of learning style. General student…
