Rosa Delgado Rebolledo; Diana Zakaryan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Knowledge required to teach mathematics at the university level is a current and relevant research topic in Mathematics Education. Thus, the case study presented in this article pertains to one mathematics lecturer whose knowledge is examined focusing on his delivery of a Multivariable Calculus course. The data required were gathered via classroom…

Fitzmaurice, Olivia; Walsh, Richard; Burke, Kevin – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
In the mathematics education literature, subject matter knowledge is well recognized as the cornerstone of a mathematics teacher's knowledge base. Though the 'Mathematics Problem', the declining standards of students' mathematical abilities upon entering tertiary education, is well documented in many countries, its effect on preservice mathematics…

O'Meara, Niamh; Prendergast, Mark; Cantley, Ian; Harbison, Lorraine; O'Hara, Clare – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
The school system in both the Republic of Ireland [ROI] and Northern Ireland [NI] is configured to accommodate children into discrete educational bands at different stages on their learning journey. Research has consistently shown that the transition from primary to post-primary, which typically occurs between the ages of 11 and 13, is the most…

Gazit, Avikam – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
The aim of this study is to present the findings of a study that examined the knowledge of mathematics teachers and teacher trainees, in different tracks, about the concepts, topics and characters from the history of mathematics. The findings indicate a lack of knowledge concerning most of the topics examined. Only about 40% of the participants…

Leikin, Roza; Zazkis, Rina – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
In this article, we demonstrate that prospective teachers' content knowledge related to defining mathematical concepts is dependent on content area. We use the example of generation (a research tool we developed in a previous study) to investigate prospective teachers' knowledge. We asked prospective secondary mathematics teachers to provide…
