Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to identify the nature of students' conceptual understanding of two concepts of calculus namely, derivative and function. As a way of collecting data two methods were employed: (a) modification of Piagetean clinical interview; and, (b) tutorial sessions. Whenever the students seemed to be confused about the issues being discussed, the researcher provided instructions through the tutorial sessions. The analysis of data was done by developing individual profiles and by response categories. It was found that the interview methodology was effective in revealing some

Abstract:

Making the transition from calculus to advanced calculus/real analysis can be challenging for undergraduate students. Part of this challenge lies in the shift in the focus of student activity, from a focus on algorithms and computational techniques to activities focused around definitions, theorems, and proofs. The goal of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) is to support students in making this transition by building on and formalizing their informal knowledge. There are a growing number of projects in this vein at the undergraduate level, in the areas of abstract algebra (TAAFU: Larsen, 20

Some of these mistakes might be caused by the false ideas, or misconceptions, that students developed during their learning or from their practice.

Such skills can prepare a student for higher-level calculus courses, additional higher-division mathematics courses, and/or related disciplines that require comprehensive understanding of calculus concepts.

Since the major responsibility of the TAs is to replenish the content and answer students’ questions, the goal of the training is to improve their instructional techniques in resolving Calculus problems and “microteaching” method was adopted for this study. The steps to implement the microteachi

Abstract:

Assessment of clinical learning is imperative in order to ensure that those who become registered nurses are safe and competent practitioners. Assessment of clinical skills requires evaluation of the development of appropriate knowledge, skills and attitudes. Literature however reveals that the measurement of clinical skills performance continues to pose a challenge for nurse educators, the debate around the best assessment method in clinical learning, as well as, validity and reliability in assessing clinical learning is ongoing. This study was therefore aimed at exploring and describing curr

Abstract:

In the past, clinical skills were wholly performed at bedside in which patients were used as teaching aids. The profound change in professional education and health care systems had made this teaching method less effective. Therefore clinical skills laboratory (CSL) is widely adopted as a strategy to support student development of clinical skills. However, there is little empirical evidence about perceptions of students and nurse educators engaged in day to day learning and teaching in the CSLs. This study was therefore aimed at exploring the perceptions of students and nurse educators about t

Abstract:

The limit concept in calculus has received a lot of attention from mathematics education researchers, partly due to its position in mathematics curricula as an entry point to calculus and partly due to its complexities that students often struggle to understand. Most of this research focuses on students who had previously studied calculus or were enrolled in a calculus course at the time of the study. In this study, I aimed to gain insights into how students with no prior experience with precalculus or calculus might think about limits via the concept of limit at infinity, with the goal of des

However, most teachers and students only value the scores and take them as the basis to level students’ achievement, neglecting that there are so many useful information revealed. The goal of the research is to apply S-P chart analysis theory in Calculus and to investigate how teachers carrying the theory into execution like teaching, testing and learning counseling. S-P chart analysis theory is a practical analysis tool for teaching Calculus. It helps teachers to tell whethe

Abstract:

In this research, the teaching styles of one biology teacher in each of three high schools in Rwanda are investigated. The purpose of the research is to find out how the adopted biology teaching styles impact on the teacher-student interaction and on the student‟s learning of biology in Kigali City in Rwanda. This research is descriptive and it is conducted in the qualitative research paradigm. The research approach used is a case study in three state and subsidised high schools. The research methods included interviews with six students and three teachers, classroom observations of three biol

Abstract:

D.Phil.<br>The research problematised the learning of mathematics in South African high schools in a Pedagogical Content Knowledge context. The researcher established that while at best, teachers may command mathematics content knowledge, or pedagogic knowledge, that command proves insufficient in leveraging the learning of mathematics and differentiation. Teachers' awareness of their learners' errors and misconceptions on a mathematics topic is critical in developing appropriate pedagogical content knowledge. The researcher argues that the study of learner errors in mathematics affords educat

The results of this thesis can be used to help identify students at risk of an unsuccessful entry level undergraduate mathematics (ELUM) outcome early in their course by using a student's score on a diagnostic test, using a student's high school performance or tracking graded homework submissions. The quantitative results suggest that optional additional remediation is not addressing students' need for remediation and that struggling students do not frequently engage with departmental supports offered. They also suggest how a suite of pedagogical changes to an ELUM course can be associate

This study was prompted by serious problems regarding specific teaching and learning problems in calculus at the technikon. The general aims were to identify and analyze particular teaching and learning problems relating to 2nd level engineering courses in calculus and to recommend improvements which could increase student performance in engineering calculus courses. An extensive study revealed world wide concern in calculus reform. The empirical research instruments consisted of structured questionnaires given to staff and students from nine technikons plus interviews. Five serious problem a

Abstract:

It has been held that heuristic training alone is not enough for developing one's mathematical thinking. One missing component is a mathematical point of view. Many educational researchers have proposed problem-based curricula to improve students' views of mathematical thinking. The present study reports findings regarding effects of a problem-based calculus course, using historical problems, to foster Taiwanese college students' views of mathematical thinking. The present study consisted of three stages. During the initial phase, 44 engineering majors' views on mathematical thinking were tabu
