The purpose of this study is to compare the differences of four essential aspects (i.e., representational forms, contextual features, cognitive demand levels, and response types) embedded in mathematical problems within the topics of numbers and operations in mathematics textbooks used in Finland, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan. This study employed a content analysis method to analyze...
Engineers often need to make sense of mathematical structures in differential equations to deal with real life problems. However, students showed difficulties in grasping them. This study presents the teaching of mathematical structures in differential equations using a computer algebra system. The computer algebra systems played the role as a pedagogical tool to enhance teaching mathematical structures...
Mathematics is considered a fundamental component of engineering education, thus it is important to determine the mathematical competencies (MCs) attained by engineering undergraduate students so that they will be able to use these competencies to support their professional engineering work. The MCs were identified based on Niss's work, namely, thinking mathematically, reasoning, problem posing and...
Creative problem solving (CPS) is a multi-step method for solving problems in various disciplines that can support students in the learning of mathematics. Although CPS is cooperative in nature and is most productive when done as a team, CPS cannot utilize the full potential of teamwork to connect and share ideas among groups in the process of solving problems. Cooperative learning (CL) has additional...
Mathematics is one of the most difficult courses to study for engineering students. In addition, effective communication, teamwork, and problem solving are important skills for graduate engineers in their professional work. This study proposes Creative Problem Solving as a framework to improve the way engineering students learn mathematics and support their critical problem solving, communication,...
