Abdullah, Atje Setiawan – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2017
This study is an exploratory research aims to find and know about a phenomenon by exploration. Therefore, the approach used in this study is ethnographic approach, an empirical and theoretical approach to get description and deep analysis about a culture based on field study. From the sustainable interviews and confirmation about field research…

Miranda, Vicente Carrión; Pluvinage, François; Adjiage, Robert – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2016
Approximating given real-valued functions by affine functions is among the most basic activities with functions. In this study we examine two contexts in which two such approximations are performed. The first involves a microscopic representation of functions for the study of tangents; the second a macroscopic representation of functions for the…

Julie, Cyril – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
A widely used instrument was implemented to ascertain the mathematical modelling competency displayed by a cohort of South African learners in grade 10 and grade 12 of the school mathematics programme in South Africa. The cohort comprised 471 grade 10 and 200 grade 12 learners from schools serving learners from low socio-economic status…

Sommers, Daniël; Baarends, Willy M.; Colgrove, Johanna C.; Chaves, Inês; van der Sanden Maarten C. A.; Nonnekens, Julie – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2020
During the COVID-19 pandemic, laboratory research was not possible in different educational programs at Delft University of Technology and Erasmus University Medical Center due to the taken measures. Therefore, a team of faculty from both institutions developed an alternative transdisciplinary research group project that was fully performed…

Omar, Hanafy M. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2018
Systems dynamics and automatic control is classified as one of the toughest courses in the college of engineering at Qassim University according to the statistical analysis of the final grades. This motivated us to think about a new approach to teach this course by extending the design term project to include experimental part beside the…

Brady, Corey – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
This article examines the work of 30 in-service teachers engaged with modelling activities during a course within an Ecuadorian master's degree program in mathematics teaching. These teachers experienced a sequence of activities designed to explore imaginative aspects of mathematical modelling and problem solving, inviting perspectives from life…

English, Lyn D.; Watson, Jane – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
This article explores 6th-grade students' modelling with data in generating models for selecting an Australian swimming team for the (then) forthcoming 2016 Olympics, using data on swimmers' times at various previous events. We propose a modelling framework comprising four components: working in shared problem spaces between mathematics and…

Krawitz, Janina; Schukajlow, Stanislaw – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
Posing modelling problems in class is supposed to increase students' motivation. As motivation is assumed to emerge from task value and self-efficacy expectations, the present study considered both constructs with the aims to examine (1) whether students have different values and self-efficacy expectations concerning modelling problems versus…

Angotti, Robin L.; Mudzimiri, Rejoice – Mathematics Teacher, 2018
Mathematical modeling, a key strand in mathematics, engages students in rich, authentic, exciting, and culturally relevant problems and connects abstract mathematics to the surrounding world. In this, article, the authors describe a modeling activity that can be used when teaching linear equations. Modeling problems, in general, are typically high…

Tekin Dede, Ayse; Bukova Guzel, Esra – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2023
The aim of this study is to investigate both the planning and implementation process of a modelling task by a middle school mathematics teacher. The participant of the study, which was conducted as a single case study, is a middle school mathematics teacher who have knowledge and experience in modelling. The data collecting tools of this study…

Mary Alice Carlson; Erin Turner; Jennifer Suh; Julia Aguirre – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Our paper details the ways teachers understand and navigate equity-oriented dilemmas (Berlak & Berlak, 1981) when teaching mathematical modeling and how mathematics teacher educators can support teachers' learning of culturally responsive mathematics teaching. Using Zavala and Aguirre's (in press) framework for culturally responsive…

Mayer, Robert V. – European Journal of Contemporary Education, 2017
Various approaches to the problem of computer modelling of assimilation and forgetting of the educational information are considered. With the help of the multi-component model the Ebbinghaus' curve of forgetting of poorly assimilating information to be remembered through recurrences is confirmed. It is taken into account, that while training…

Pratt, Sarah Smitherman; Eddy, Colleen M. – Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College, 2017
Mathematics teachers frequently provide concrete manipulatives to students during instruction; however, the rationale for using certain manipulatives in conjunction with concepts may not be explored. This article focuses on area models that are currently used in classrooms to provide concrete examples of integer and binomial multiplication. The…

Gersten, Russell; Schumacher, Robin F.; Jordan, Nancy C. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2017
Magnitude understanding is critical for students to develop a deep understanding of fractions and more advanced mathematics curriculum. The research reports in this special issue underscore magnitude understanding for fractions and emphasize number lines as both an assessment and an instructional tool. In this commentary, we discuss how number…

Aguirre, Julia M.; Anhalt, Cynthia O.; Cortez, Ricardo; Turner, Erin E.; Simic-Muller, Ksenija – Mathematics Teacher Educator, 2019
Two major challenges in mathematics teacher education are developing teacher understanding of: (1) culturally responsive, social justice--oriented mathematics pedagogies; and (2) mathematical modeling as a content and practice standard of mathematics. Although these challenges may seem disparate, the innovation described in this article is…
