Marshall, Jill A.; Durán, Pablo – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
Several major organizations have recommended revisions to mathematics requirements for biology majors. To determine whether these changes would benefit future biologists, we investigated mathematics use in research biology. We surveyed prominent journals in high and low math-use areas for articles referencing the use of quantitative methods. In…

Zapata-Cardona, Lucía – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
This paper addresses how students explore, construct, validate and use statistical models when facing situations designed from a socio-critical perspective. The case study used is a statistics lesson designed by a statistics teacher and a researcher. The lesson centers on nutritional information and was implemented in a 7th-grade classroom at a…

Patel, Anne; Pfannkuch, Maxine – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
Some researchers advocate a statistical modeling approach to inference that draws on students' intuitions about factors influencing phenomena and that requires students to build models. Such a modeling approach to inference became possible with the creation of "TinkerPlots" Sampler technology. However, little is known about what…

Frazier, Marian L.; LoFaro, Thomas; Pillers Dobler, Carolyn – PRIMUS, 2018
The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and the American Statistical Association (ASA) have both updated and revised their curriculum guidelines. The guidelines of both associations recommend that students engage in a "capstone" experience, be exposed to applications, and have opportunities to communicate mathematical and…

Olteanu, Constanta – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
This paper uses a post-qualitative philosophical perspective to find new ways of understanding teaching and learning. The paper presents a series of examples that were used in a longitudinal study, with the aim of creating variation patterns that would make it possible for students to discern the use of the four basic arithmetic operations in…

Smirnov, Eugeny; Uvarov, Artiom; Smirnov, Nikita – NORDSCI, 2018
In present article the possibilities of synergy revealing of mathematical education in secondary school on the basis of modern achievements in science adaptation are investigated. The technology is based on the study of "problem zones" of the development of school mathematics with synergetic effects manifestation on the basis of visual…

Tisdell, C. C. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
Solution methods to exact differential equations via integrating factors have a rich history dating back to Euler (1740) and the ideas enjoy applications to thermodynamics and electromagnetism. Recently, Azevedo and Valentino presented an analysis of the generalized Bernoulli equation, constructing a general solution by linearizing the problem…

Lavigne, Denis – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2017
The OSeMOSYS project offers open-access energy modeling to a wide audience. Its relative simplicity makes it appealing for academic research and governmental organizations to study the impacts of policy decisions on an energy system in the context of possibly severe greenhouse gases emissions limitations. OSeMOSYS is a tool that enhances the…

Gu, Jerry; Andreopoulos, Stavroula; Jenkinson, Jodie; Ng, Derek P. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
Enzyme kinetics is the study of enzymatic catalytic rates in biochemical reactions. This topic is commonly taught to life science students in introductory biochemistry courses during their undergraduate education. Unlike most other biochemistry topics, which focus on visual structures of biomolecules and their processes, enzyme kinetics is…

Bicer, Ali – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2021
The purpose of this systematic review is to reveal the research findings that suggest instructional practices to foster the creativity of students in mathematics. Although several studies have investigated the effects of various instructional practices influencing the mathematical creativity of students, little is known about how the findings of…

Didis Kabar, Makbule Gözde; Erbas, Ayhan Kürsat – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
This study investigated pre-service secondary mathematics teachers' (PSMTs') anticipation and identification of students' thinking as they engaged in examining and analyzing student work on four modelling problems. The study comprised four two-week-long cycles. The data were collected through individual reflection papers and written group reports…

Matayoshi, Jeffrey; Uzun, Hasan; Cosyn, Eric – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Knowledge space theory (KST) is a mathematical framework for modeling and assessing student knowledge. While KST has successfully served as the foundation of several learning systems, recent advancements in machine learning provide an opportunity to improve on purely KST-based approaches to assessing student knowledge. As such, in this work we…
