Nedaei, Mahboubeh; Radmehr, Farzad; Drake, Michael – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2022
Previous studies have suggested that problem-posing activities could be used to improve the teaching, learning, and assessment of mathematics. The purpose of this study is to explore undergraduate engineering students' problem posing in relation to the integral-area relationship. The goal is to help fill a gap in tertiary level research about…

Borji, Vahid; Alamolhodaei, Hassan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Despite the importance and many applications that parametric equations and curves have in mathematics and other sciences, there is a lack of research regarding this topic in mathematics education. The goal of this article is to explore university students' understanding of parametric equations and curves based on two lenses: Action, Process,…

Borji, Vahid; Erfani, Hedyeh; Font, Vicenç – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
The aim of this study is to analyse undergraduate students' understanding of polar coordinates based on two theories, Action, Process, Object and Schema (APOS) and Onto-Semiotic Approach (OSA). These two theories complement each other and each of them separately has been used in many research to explore students' performance of mathematical…

Radmehr, Farzad; Nedaei, Mahboubeh; Drake, Michael – PRIMUS, 2022
Mathematics education faculty working in mathematics departments are commonly involved in teaching undergraduate mathematics courses, teaching and supervising postgraduate students of mathematics education, and developing mathematics teachers (pre-service and/or in-service). This paper proposes a new elective course that can be taken by either…
