Direct linkGrove, 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…

Robinson, Mike; Loch, Birgit; Croft, Tony – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2015
Although feedback is a very important component of assessment in higher education, there is substantial evidence that students view traditional methods of feedback as deficient in a number of respects. In this paper we explore how students perceive generic feedback on a mathematics assignment provided via screencasts. Our study is based on a…

Croft, Tony; Duah, Francis; Loch, Birgit – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
Undergraduate mathematics is traditionally designed and taught by content experts with little contribution from students. Indeed, there are signs that there is resistance from mathematics lecturers to involve students in the creation of material to support their peers--notwithstanding the fact that students have been successfully engaged as…

Solomon, Yvette; Croft, Tony; Lawson, Duncan – Studies in Higher Education, 2010
This article reports on data gathered from second and third year mathematics undergraduates at two British universities which have developed Mathematics Support Centres, primarily with a view to supporting skills development for engineering students. However, an unforeseen consequence of the support centres was the mathematics students'…

Pell, Godfrey; Croft, Tony – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, 2008
Mathematics Support Centres are to be found in various forms in the majority of UK higher education institutions. They have been established in order to ease widespread and serious difficulties that a significant number of students have with mathematics, particularly at the school-university transition. They usually offer mathematics and/or…

Bamforth, Sarah E.; Robinson, Carol L.; Croft, Tony; Crawford, Adam – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, 2007
There are increasing concerns about the mathematics ability of students entering higher education. This situation appears to be as a result of the perceived lowering standards of A Levels, a reduction in entry requirements on some courses with a strong mathematical component and the wide-ranging educational backgrounds of many of the students.…
