Abu-Naja, Muhammad – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2008
Our research project examined the effects of graphic calculators amongst ninth grade pupils from Arab society in the Negev area in Israel. The goal of this research was to discover and characterise the ways of thinking in this population about the concept of positivity and negativity of functions. To perform this investigation we compared two…

Bouck, Emily C.; Flanagan, Sara – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2009
Technology is a natural part of education for all students across a variety of subjects, including mathematics, as educators work to prepare students for tomorrow's work force and align their curriculum and teaching with national standards such those developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM, 2000). This article reviews…

Guin, Dominique; Trouche, Luc – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 1998
Analysis of the constraints and potential of the artefact are necessary in order to point out the mathematical knowledge involved in using calculators. Analyzes and categorizes observations of students using graphic and symbolic calculators into profiles, illustrating the transformation of the calculator into an efficient mathematical instrument.…

Wu, Margaret – OECD Publishing (NJ1), 2010
This paper makes an in-depth comparison of the PISA (OECD) and TIMSS (IEA) mathematics assessments conducted in 2003. First, a comparison of survey methodologies is presented, followed by an examination of the mathematics frameworks in the two studies. The methodologies and the frameworks in the two studies form the basis for providing…

Ocak, Mehmet Akif – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2008
This study investigates the role of graphing calculators in multiple representations for knowledge transfer and the omission of oversimplification in complex function graphs. The main aim is to examine whether graphing calculators were used efficiently to see different cases and multiple perspectives among complex function graphs, or whether…

Shield, Mal – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2008
In this article, the author focuses on possible ways to develop the concepts of joint variation and function through the upper primary and lower secondary years of education. The examples demonstrate the building of a range of important mathematical ideas by modelling life-related situations using students' informal and intuitive knowledge. Over…

Huggins, Elisha – Physics Teacher, 2007
Much like a physical prism, which displays the frequency components of a light wave, Fourier analysis can be thought of as a mathematical prism that can tell us what harmonics or frequency components are contained in a recording of a sound wave. We wrote the MacScope II program so that the user could not only see a plot of the harmonic amplitudes…

Dewey, Brenda L.; Singletary, Ted J.; Kinzel, Margaret T. – School Science and Mathematics, 2009
This study examines graphing calculator technology availability, characteristics of teachers who use it, teacher attitudes, and how use reflects changes to algebra curriculum and instructional practices. Algebra I and Algebra II teachers in 75 high school and junior high/middle schools in a diverse region of a northwestern state were surveyed.…

Pierce, Robyn; Stacey, Kaye – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
This paper reports on the experiences of students who were learning mathematics with CAS for a second consecutive school year. Evidence presented shows that nearly all students managed the challenging task of mastering the technical aspects of using CAS well. It also shows that the level of technical difficulty and the degree to which it presents…

Groth, Randall; Spickler, Donald; Bergner, Jennifer; Bardzell, Michael – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2009
Because technological pedagogical content knowledge is becoming an increasingly important construct in the field of teacher education, there is a need for assessment mechanisms that capture teachers' development of this portion of the knowledge base for teaching. The paper describes a proposal drawing on qualitative data produced during lesson…

Buckner, Barbara Renee – ProQuest LLC, 2011
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of TI-Nspire graphing calculator use on student achievement and on teacher behavior variables of planning, teaching, and assessing. This study investigated the teaching of functions by teachers using the TI-Nspire graphing calculator versus teachers using a non-graphing scientific calculator. …

Zakaria, Effandi; Alias, Aliza – Online Submission, 2005
Ongoing professional development programs are required by teachers in order to become more effective in teaching. Although, in-service courses are offered to enhance the teachers' professional skills but the courses are not relevant to their needs. This may be due to the administrators' assumptions of the teachers' needs rather than what the…
