Pierce, Robyn; Stacey, Kaye – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, 2009
Taking advantage of pedagogical opportunities afforded by new technology requires appropriately designed lessons. This article reports on the use of "lesson study" to research principles for the design of a lesson aiming to take advantage of multiple representations. The lesson, for year 10 students who had personal access to TI-Nspire, focused on…

Assaad, R. S.; Silva-Martinez, J. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2009
Current methods of teaching basic amplifier design at the undergraduate level need further development to match today's technological advances. The general class approach to amplifier design is analytical and heavily based on mathematical manipulations. However, the students mathematical abilities are generally modest, creating a void in which…

Conway, Tenley M.; Dalton, Chelsea; Loo, Jennifer; Benakoun, Laura – International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education, 2008
Purpose: The ecological footprint represents a simple way to assess the amount of materials consumed and waste produced by a given entity. The approach has been applied to countries, towns, households, and more recently university campuses. One of the challenges of using the ecological footprint at a university is the difficulty of determining how…

Serhan, Derar – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2009
This study used concept maps to investigate the effect of using graphing calculators on students' understanding of the derivative at a point. The study looked for differences between the concept images that are held by students' who are using graphing calculators and the students who are not using them. Seventy one students enrolled in two…
