Dart, Sarah; Pickering, Edmund; Dawes, Les – Advances in Engineering Education, 2020
Blended learning is becoming increasingly prevalent in engineering education due to its flexibility and enhanced learning outcomes, however it can face challenges in maintaining student engagement and satisfaction. This study investigates the impact of worked example videos (WEVs) as a blended learning approach within undergraduate engineering,…

Downs, Nathan; Parisi, Alfio V.; Galligan, Linda; Turner, Joanna; Amar, Abdurazaq; King, Rachel; Ultra, Filipina; Butler, Harry – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2016
A short series of practical classroom mathematics activities employing the use of a large and publicly accessible scientific data set are presented for use by students in years 9 and 10. The activities introduce and build understanding of integral calculus and trigonometric functions through the presentation of practical problem solving that…

Price, Beth; Steinle, Vicki; Stacey, Kaye; Gvozdenko, Eugene – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2014
This study reports on the use of formative, diagnostic online assessments for the topic percentages. Two new item formats (drag-drop and slider) are described. About one-third of the school students (Years 7 to 9) could, using a slider, estimate "80% more than" a given length, in contrast with over two-thirds who could estimate "90%…

Hurrell, Derek; O'Neil, Jennifer – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2011
In providing a continued focus on tasks and activities that help to illustrate key ideas embedded in the new Australian Curriculum, this issue the authors focus, on Geometry in the Measurement and Geometry strand with strong links for an integrated focus on the Statistics and Probability strand. The small unit of work on the sorting and…

Yevdokimov, Oleksiy – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2009
This article presents a problem set which includes a selection of probability problems. Probability theory started essentially as an empirical science and developed on the mathematical side later. The problems featured in this article demonstrate diversity of ideas and different concepts of probability, in particular, they refer to Laplace and…

Wander, Roger; Pierce, Robyn – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2009
In early 2008 researchers from the University of Melbourne's "New Technologies for Teaching Mathematics" project created a lesson for the Year 10 students at their Victorian research schools. Two important goals of secondary school mathematics education are to build students' conceptual knowledge and to teach students to think…

Davis, Michael; Goodnow, Jacqueline J. – Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 1977
Sixth graders with Australian parents and sixth graders with Greek immigrant parents were given three tasks: memory for a set of 24 pictures, a buttonboard task, and 20 questions. "The results point to the importance of specific strategies on problem-solving tasks and to the importance, in cross-cultural comparisons, of shared understandings…
