Ayalew, Mentewab; Hylton, Derrick; Sistrunk, Jeticia; Melton, James; Johnson, Kiandra; Voit, Eberhard – PRIMUS, 2022
The integration of biology with mathematics and computer science mandates the training of students capable of comfortably navigating among these fields. We address this formidable pedagogical challenge with the creation of transdisciplinary modules that guide students toward solving realistic problems with methods from different disciplines.…

Norton, Douglas E. – PRIMUS, 2022
This paper introduces a course design for a post-Calculus undergraduate course on mathematical modeling for the life sciences. The course includes differential equations, discrete, and cellular automata approaches (among others) to modeling questions in the life sciences, as well as a variety of biological topics. The course focuses on model…

Kularajan, Sindura Subanemy; Czocher, Jennifer A. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
Using data from teaching experiments and theories from quantitative reasoning, we built second-order accounts of students' mathematics with regards to how they conceived rate of change through operating on existing quantities. In this report, we explain three different ways STEM undergraduates structurally conceive rate of change as they…

Adams, Sharrika D.; Kutnak, Michael J. – Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, 2022
Student affairs administrators in higher education spend time advocating for students in times of crisis. Whether case management occurs within a full-time case management role or as added responsibilities onto an administrator's job, the hours and minutes spent helping students manage crises add up to a significant amount of time. This article…

Türker Biber, Belma; Yetkin Özdemir, Iffet Elif; Lesh, Richard – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
In this study, we investigated mathematics teacher's noticing of students' thinking in the context of mathematical modeling activities (MEAs) related to statistics. One middle-school mathematics teacher participated in the study, which adopted a case study design. Data were collected through interviews with the teacher based on video recordings of…

Peabody, Michael R. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2023
Many organizations utilize some form of automation in the test assembly process; either fully algorithmic or heuristically constructed. However, one issue with heuristic models is that when the test assembly problem changes the entire model may need to be re-conceptualized and recoded. In contrast, mixed-integer programming (MIP) is a mathematical…

Gabriella Colajanni; Alessandro Gobbi; Marinella Picchi; Alice Raffaele; Eugenia Taranto – INFORMS Transactions on Education, 2023
We introduce "Ricerca Operativa Applicazioni Reali" (ROAR; in English, "Real Applications of Operations Research"), a three-year project for higher secondary schools. Its main aim is to improve students' interest, motivation, and skills related to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics disciplines by integrating…

Develaki, Maria – Science & Education, 2020
In the literature, there are multiple definitions of integrated STEM education, resulting in ambiguity and uncertainty of application. A firm conception of integrated STEM education is needed to determine its content, procedures and epistemological knowledge, the latter being the focus of this article. While epistemological accounts exist for its…

Ural, Alattin – Journal of Educational Issues, 2020
The purpose of this research is to classify the mathematical modelling problems produced by pre-service mathematics teachers in terms of the number of variables and to determine the mathematical modelling skills and mathematical skills used in solving the problems in each class. The current study is a qualitative research and the data was analyzed…

Bakbergenuly, Ilyas; Hoaglin, David C.; Kulinskaya, Elena – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
In random-effects meta-analysis the between-study variance ([tau][superscript 2]) has a key role in assessing heterogeneity of study-level estimates and combining them to estimate an overall effect. For odds ratios the most common methods suffer from bias in estimating [tau][superscript 2] and the overall effect and produce confidence intervals…

E. Taranto; G. Colajanni; A. Gobbi; M. Picchi; A. Raffaele – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Operations Research (OR) is a branch of applied mathematics that deals with optimization problems arising from different real contexts. The solving process of its problems is based on the construction and resolution of mathematical models, showing the possible connections between mathematics and the real world. Nevertheless, OR is not typically…

Asempapa, Reuben S. – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2022
Mathematical modeling has been positioned at the forefront of many educational levels globally because modeling reinforces purposeful problem-solving skills, connects mathematics to the real-world, and makes mathematics more meaningful and relevant. This article investigated K-12 practicing teachers' knowledge and attitudes toward mathematical…

Yang, Xinrong; Schwarz, Björn; Leung, Issic K. C. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
Although mathematical modeling plays an important role in many curricula worldwide, significant discrepancies persist in the importance of mathematical modeling in ordinary mathematics classrooms and teacher education. This paper compares pre-service mathematics teachers' professional mathematical modeling competencies in three different…
