Holden, T.; Burazin, A. – PRIMUS, 2023
Homework completion and self-regulatory ability have both been extensively studied to examine their impact on learning achievement. Moreover, the reciprocal nature of how these two qualities affect one another is also an area of research. While evidence shows that voluntary completion of assigned homework predicts self-regulation in students, a…

Bosch, Marianna; Hausberger, Thomas; Hochmuth, Reinhard; Kondratieva, Margarita; Winsløw, Carl – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2021
How is the content of university programs selected and structured? How does it evolve? In the anthropological theory of the didactic, external didactic transposition designates the processes through which knowledge to be taught is delimited and developed for delivery within a school institution, including universities. This paper presents a first…

Vanessa Radzimski; Pam Sargent; Fok-Shuen Leung – PRIMUS, 2024
Pedagogical training of mathematics graduate students is often disconnected from the actual experience of teaching. Even with the support offered by standard instructor training models, mathematics graduate students find it hard to connect with students, mature pedagogically and contribute meaningfully, especially under the overwhelming conditions…

Limin Jao; Gurpreet Sahmbi – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Secondary mathematics pre-service teachers (PSTs) are required to take university-level mathematics content courses to develop their mathematical content knowledge. Although PSTs' experiences as students play a major role in the types of teachers they become, there is limited research investigating the experiences of PSTs engaging in these…

Mohammad, Nagham; Nica, Mihai; Levere, Kimberly M.; Okner, Rachel – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2023
Out-of-class activities play a crucial role in student learning. However, student opinions on the design of these activities are rarely measured across several different classes. The purpose of this study is to understand students' preferences and attitudes towards new "Engaged Mathematics Labs" in which professors and teaching…

Hitt, Fernando; Dufour, Sarah – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2021
The first calculus course in the province of Quebec (Canada) is taught in the first year of college (17-18 year-old students) before university. Statistics show that this course is the most difficult one for students at the collegial level and that it prompts many to drop out of school. The literature has highlighted the cognitive problems…

Buteau, Chantal; Gueudet, Ghislaine; Muller, Eric; Mgombelo, Joyce; Sacristán, Ana Isabel – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
The instrumental approach is a useful theoretical lens for understanding students' learning processes with a main focus on the transformation of an artefact (a human design for a goal-directed activity) into a meaningful instrument (i.e. an artefact and schemes developed by the student). In this paper, we articulate the instrumental approach for…

LaLande, Daniel; Cantinotti, Michael; Williot, Alexandre; Gagnon, Joel; Cousineau, Denis – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2019
The purpose of this study was to test three pathways from achievement goals to academic performance in statistics classes. Participants were 247 undergraduate students in psychology taking an introductory course on statistics. They completed questionnaires shortly after the midterm, and their final grades were provided by their professors at the…

Lovric, Miroslav – PRIMUS, 2018
We discuss teaching and learning situations that surfaced when computer programming and mathematics were brought together in a course where students write computer code to explore mathematics problems. Combining programming and mathematics creates a rich ecosystem which, on top of traditional mathematics activities (writing solutions, proofs,…

Coles, Matthew; Leung, Fok-Shuen; Radzimski, Vanessa; Sargent, Pam – Collected Essays on Learning and Teaching, 2020
This article describes the landscape of teaching assistantships (TAships) in the Mathematics Department of a large, public, research institution. First, we present visualized data describing the terrain for all mathematics graduate students. Second, we focus on three specific journeys in that terrain. We employ an autoethnographical research…

Songsore, Emmanuel; White, Bethany J. G. – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2018
Statistics educators have long recognized the importance of empowering students with statistical thinking skills that could be applied beyond the classroom. However, there is a dearth of research on how students deem statistical topics as having practical future relevance after they complete introductory courses. Focusing on student interest in…

Flake, Jessica Kay; Ferland, Melissa; Flora, David B. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Though there has been limited empirical research on the cost component from the expectancy-value model, a recent interest in the construct has spurred advances in theory and measurement. We present a longitudinal analysis of four types of cost: effort, loss of valued alternatives, emotional, and outside cost. We focus on how cost changes over time…

Broley, Laura; Caron, France; Saint-Aubin, Yvan – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2018
In response to a recent Canada-wide survey, where it was found that mathematicians use computer programming much less in their teaching than in their research, an exploratory study involving 14 Canadian mathematicians sought to gain a deeper understanding of the place of programming in both contexts. To capture the differences in the degree of…

DeDieu, Lauren; Lovric, Miroslav – PRIMUS, 2018
The use of writing to learn mathematics at the university-level is a pedagogical tool that has been gaining momentum. The setting of this study is a second-year differential equations class where written assignments have been incorporated into the course. By analyzing survey results and students' written work, we examine the extent to which…

Garaschuk, Kseniya M.; Cytrynbaum, Eric N. – PRIMUS, 2019
Active learning techniques, such as peer instruction and group work, have been gaining a lot of traction in universities. Taking a natural next step in re-evaluating current practices, many institutions recently started experimenting student-centred group exams. In order to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of collaborative assessments, we…
