In this paper, we situate the educational movement of "Ethics in Mathematics," as outlined by the Cambridge University Ethics in Mathematics Project, in the wider area of mathematics ethics education. By focusing on the core message coming…
Math is the backbone of any field. Still its a night mare for many. Recent survey proves that many students become dropouts from their higher education due to math courses. ICT is an enchanted word in the contemporary educational…
Written reflection assignments give students valuable opportunities for critical self-assessment, meaning making, and learning processing. Additionally, such reflections provide rich data for qualitative education research. However,…
An empirical study is conducted to compare citations per publication, statistics and observed Hirsch indexes between subject fields using summary statistics of countries. No distributional assumptions are made and ratios are calculated.…
The paper presents a bibliometric analysis on the topic of Information Technology (IT) in the field of Educational Sciences, aimed at envisioning the research emerging trends. The ERIC data base is used as a consultation source; the results…
Think-aloud interviews have been a valuable but underused tool in statistics education research. Think-alouds, in which students narrate their reasoning in real time while solving problems, differ in important ways from other types of…
The transition from secondary to higher education represents a critical point in academic trajectories, particularly in programmes with a strong emphasis on basic sciences. Across different higher education systems, introductory Mathematics…
The use of technology in schools has been one of the most debated topics around mathematics education. In some countries there is a huge investment, in others there is a down-scaling. Malaysia decided in 2013 to put its 10 million students…
This study systematically reviews the transformative role of Tutoring Systems, encompassing Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) and Robot Tutoring Systems (RTS), in addressing global educational challenges through advanced technologies. As…
Feedback has a powerful influence on learning, but it is also expensive to provide. In large classes, it may even be impossible for instructors to provide individualized feedback. Peer assessment has received attention lately as a way of…
The growth of Internet has led to new approaches for distance education. The main mechanisms involved in this process are distance learning and distance evaluation. Distance learning have multiple forms, from browsing and finding…
Given the growing use of impact metrics in the evaluation of scholars, journals, academic institutions, and even countries, there is a critical need for means to compare scientific impact across disciplinary boundaries. Unfortunately,…
The rapid advances in technology over the last decade have significantly altered the nature of engineering knowledge and skills required in the modern industries. In response to the changing professional requirements, engineering…
Bayesian statistics has gained great momentum since the computational developments of the 1990s. Gradually, advances in Bayesian methodology and software have made Bayesian techniques much more accessible to applied statisticians and, in…
Below, we summarize the appearances and possible uses of the two-sided approach and the two-sided counting in the most diverse areas of (secondary) school mathematics.
In this paper we initiate some investigations on MathSciNet database. For many mathematicians this website is used on a regular basis, but surprisingly except for the information provided by MathSciNet itself, there exist almost no…
Educational attainment generates labor market returns, societal gains and has intrinsic value for individuals. We study Inequality of Opportunity (IOp) and intergenerational mobility in the distribution of educational attainment. We propose…
Significant obstacles prevent large, university-level, introductory physics courses from effectively teaching problem-solving skills. We describe our program for integrating three internet-based "teaching-while-quizzing" tools to address…
This article introduces the conjecture that "mathematics, logic and related disciplines may usefully be understood as information compression (IC) by 'multiple alignment', 'unification' and 'search' (ICMAUS)". As a preparation for the two…
The information technology explosion has dramatically increased the application of new mathematical ideas and has led to an increasing use of mathematics across a wide range of fields that have been traditionally labeled "pure" or…
