An Activity Theory Approach in Explaining Engineering Students' Difficulties with University Mathematics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Anastasakis, Marinos; Zakynthinaki, Maria; Trujillo-González, Rodrigo; García-Alonso, Israel; Petridis, Konstantinos – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In this paper we explore the difficulties engineering undergraduates encounter with tertiary mathematics. Results from our survey (N = 71) show that students in our sample face issues mostly related to the challenging nature of university mathematics, the absence of worked examples during lectures and the discontinuity of school and university…

Students' Choices of Definitions for the Concept of Limit of Functions from "R"[superscript 2] to "R"
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Megalou, Foteini – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
This paper describes a research project implemented in a course of Real Analysis II. The aim of this project is to analyse students' comprehension of the limiting behaviour of a function from "R"[superscript 2] to "R" at a point "P"[subscript 0] focusing on the formal definitions. Alternative definitions and other…

Is Mathematical Logic Really Necessary in Teaching Mathematical Proofs?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Aristidou, Michael – Athens Journal of Education, 2020
As it is already observed by mathematicians and educators, there is a discrepancy between the formal techniques of mathematical logic and the informal techniques of mathematics in regards to proof. We examine some of the reasons behind this discrepancy and to what degree it affects doing, teaching and learning mathematics in college. We also…

Nantschev, Renate; Feuerstein, Eva; González, Rodrigo Trujillo; Alonso, Israel Garcia; Hackl, Werner O.; Petridis, Konstantinos; Triantafyllou, Evangelia; Ammenwerth, Elske – Education Sciences, 2020
The growing use of technology for mathematics in higher education opens new pedagogical and technological challenges for teachers. The objective of this study was to analyze the teaching approaches and technology-related pedagogical competencies of 29 mathematics teachers (15 females and 14 males) from nine European countries. After conducting…

Voskoglou, Michael – Education Sciences, 2019
According to the views of social constructivism, learning takes place when individuals engage socially to talk about and act on shared problems or interests. In recent years, this approach has been very popular for the teaching and learning of mathematics in primary and secondary education. On the contrary, in tertiary education, it seems that…

A Clustering Methodology of Web Log Data for Learning Management Systems
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Valsamidis, Stavros; Kontogiannis, Sotirios; Kazanidis, Ioannis; Theodosiou, Theodosios; Karakos, Alexandros – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
Learning Management Systems (LMS) collect large amounts of data. Data mining techniques can be applied to analyse their web data log files. The instructors may use this data for assessing and measuring their courses. In this respect, we have proposed a methodology for analysing LMS courses and students' activity. This methodology uses a Markov…
