Two previous studies mapping university mathematics students' summative assessment diet in the UK revealed a clear picture. In general, there was a dominance of closed book examinations with a strong relationship to departmental league table position. The decade since then has seen many changes in higher education in the UK, particularly in the…

Victoria J. Bourne; Paige L. Clarke; Amie Felton; Maria Iliopoulou; Oleg Maksimenko – Psychology Teaching Review, 2024
Statistics anxiety is experienced by a large proportion of psychology students, even though conducting statistical analyses is a fundamental skill for students to acquire. The research on statistics anxiety has tended to explore either dispositional factors (e.g. personality) or situational factors (e.g. teacher effects). One potential predictor…

This paper describes the collaborative development of an agenda for research on e-assessment in undergraduate mathematics. We built on an established approach to develop the agenda from the contributions of 22 mathematics education researchers, university teachers and learning technologists interested in this topic. The resulting set of 55…

Grove, Michael J.; Good, Chris – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2020
Assessment and feedback is an area where mathematical sciences departments have invested significant effort in recent times. Particular challenges have been identified relating to timely and detailed feedback, both of which are important given the widespread use of formative, and typically weekly, problem sheet assessments to aid and structure the…

This study focuses on the undergraduate mathematics students' perceptions and applied techniques for the preparation for their final examination in Abstract Algebra. The results of this study suggest that the revision for the final examination involves, firstly, the review of the lecture notes, followed by the solution of the coursework together…

Trenholm, S.; Hajek, B.; Robinson, C. L.; Chinnappan, M.; Albrecht, A.; Ashman, H. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
The use of recorded lecture videos (RLVs) in mathematics instruction continues to advance. Prior research at the post-secondary level has indicated a tendency for RLV use in mathematics to be negatively correlated with academic performance, although it is unclear whether this is because regular users are generally weaker mathematics students…

Darlington, Ellie – REDIMAT - Journal of Research in Mathematics Education, 2019
Students' approaches to learning are heavily researched in higher education and are of particular concern in the field of mathematics where many students have been found to struggle with the transition to university mathematics. This article outlines a mixed methods study which sought to describe undergraduate mathematicians' approaches to…

Gueudet, Ghislaine; Pepin, Birgit – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2018
In this paper we introduce a link between the Theory of Didactical Situations and the Documentational Approach to Didactics, in order to study teaching/learning phenomena at the beginning of university mathematics studies. Specifically, we investigate the didactic contract at three levels: institutional, mathematical subject, and specific…

O'Shea, Ann; Breen, Sinéad; Jaworski, Barbara – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2016
This paper describes the development of a concept inventory, a test designed to investigate undergraduate students' understanding of the concept of function. A central purpose was to address "conceptual" understanding. We outline a set of elements of the understanding of function, based on key properties of the function concept, which…

Grove, Michael; Guiry, Sophie; Croft, Tony – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
Along with a growing body of evidence of the challenges experienced by specialist and more-able mathematics students during their undergraduate studies, there now exists evidence that these students are increasingly accessing mathematics support centres as a means of enhancing their mathematical learning experience. Here, we report on a survey of…

Nardi, Elena – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2016
Storytelling is an engaging way through which lived experience can be shared and reflected upon, and a tool through which difference, diversity--and even conflict--can be acknowledged and elaborated upon. Narrative approaches to research bring the richness and vibrancy of storytelling into how data is collected and interpretations of it shared. In…

Thoma, Athina; Nardi, Elena – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2018
We explore the transition from school to university through a commognitive (Sfard 2008) analysis of twenty-two students' examination scripts from the end of year examination of a first year, year-long module on Sets, Numbers, Proofs and Probability in a UK mathematics department. Our analysis of the scripts relies on a preliminary analysis of the…

Burkhardt, Hugh – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
This article describes a sequence of design research projects, some exploratory others more formal, on the teaching of modelling and the analysis of modelling skills. The initial motivation was the author's observation that the teaching of applied mathematics in UK high schools and universities involved no active modelling by students, but was…

Links between Students' Goals and Their Choice of Educational Resources in Undergraduate Mathematics
Anastasakis, Marinos; Robinson, Carol L.; Lerman, Stephen – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2017
Currently, there is a dearth of studies exploring the kind of tools that undergraduates use when studying mathematics with previous approaches focusing mostly on digital or institutionally provided resources. In this article, we present and discuss the results from our investigations into the different types of tools that a cohort of second year…

Coughlan, Tim; Pitt, Rebecca; Farrow, Robert – Open Learning, 2019
It has been argued that Open Educational Resources (OER) present opportunities for innovation in education. However, there has been a lack of retrospective analysis of the forms of innovation that can emerge through OER, and the processes and challenges these entail. This paper presents a post-project analysis of the diverse uses and impacts of…
