Characteristics of participation - A mathematician and a mathematics educator collaborating on a developmental research project

2018

International audience; In this paper, a developmental research project involving offering mathematical modelling (MM) activities to university biology students is presented, and a particular aspect is studied, namely the project as a collaboration between mathematicians and mathematics educators. The aim of the paper is to investigate what characterizes their participation in the project, and how the characteristics of the project and its development might influence this participation. Interview data as well as observation data from the MM sessions are analysed, and findings show that the mathematics educator served as a broker influencing the practice of the mathematician. It is hoped tha…

“Making connections” in the mathematics courses for engineers: the example of online resources for trigonometry

2018

International audience; This paper concerns the teaching of mathematics for future engineers, focusing on the theme of trigonometry. We claim that the use of trigonometry in engineering courses requires different kinds of connections: connecting different domains, different concepts, frames and registers. We use here the concept of connectivity, developed in the frame of e-textbooks analysis, to analyse online courses for future engineers in France. We evidence that these courses propose some connections; but their connectivity is not developed enough to meet the requirements of engineering courses.

Mathematics Teaching for Economics Students, But How?

2018

International audience; The research presented in this poster addresses the poor performance of many economics students in their first mathematics course at university level. Two different universities are involved in the research, trying to answer the question of “how to structure teaching in mathematics to economics students at university level to strengthen their mathematical competences?”
