Predictive Power of the Diagnostic Test

Υποβλήθηκε από Xambó, Sebastian στις Παρ, 2009/07/31 - 03:21.

The UPC diagnostic test (see DT) has been administered at the Mathematics and Statistics School (September 2007 and 2008) and at the Civil Engineering School (2008). There are indications that suggest a high predictive power, in the sense that scores higher than 60% succeed in the first year, which has selective character, and that scores less than 50% fail. A case study has been undertaken by M. R. Estela, F. Massanés and S. Xambó to find robust evidence for this hypothesis, or otherwise.

DragMath

Υποβλήθηκε από Sangwin, Chris στις Παρ, 2008/11/28 - 11:27.

DragMath is a free "drag and drop" equation editor. It is a Java applet which can simply run within a web browser on most computers.

The editor lets users build up mathematical expressions in a traditional two dimensional way, and then output the results in a correctly formed syntax. This is not so easy: mathematical notation contains some ambiguities. Still, we appear to be stuck with traditional notation for the foreseeable future, see for example this article for some comments on notation. This gives some idea of the design of DragMath.

Revising the OpenMath 3 Content Dictionaries with SWiM

Υποβλήθηκε από Lange, Christoph στις Τετ, 2008/10/29 - 18:24.

The semantic wiki SWiM is now being used for the revision of the OpenMath 3 Content Dictionaries. The wiki at wiki.openmath.org contains the latest draft versions of these content dictionaries. Anybody can browse and discuss. The OpenMath 3 developers can also edit. This paper explains how the system works.

The purpose of this case study is twofold:

  • supporting the OpenMath developers with a tool that is more advanced than accessing the OpenMath Subversion repository with a text or XML editor

A JEM Case Study on the Potential of Semantic Markup for the Use of Context in Mathematical eLearning

Υποβλήθηκε από Mueller, Christine στις Τετ, 2007/12/12 - 14:37.

The aim of the case study is the discuss the potential of semantic markup for the use of context to improve mathematical eLearning. We are drawing upon the theory of communities of practice [LW91, Wen05] to provide a model for contextualizing mathematical eLearning. In contrast to approaches such as in CSCW (Computer Supported Collaborative Work), we are less interested in supporting social networks and exchange via community platforms to collaboratively contextualize (and manage) the learning material. We rather focus on a community’s shared repertoire, i.e.

Web-based learning and tests in Secondary School Mathematics

Υποβλήθηκε από Lehtinen, Johanna στις Τετ, 2007/08/29 - 11:52.

Last spring i found two secondary level test classes for my research, which was ment to start in the autumn. Pupils are 12-13 years old. My aim is to find out if wed-based exercises and tests can be used also in the lower secondary school mathematics, not only in the upper secondary school and university mathematics.
The course they are having is about Numbers. We didn't have any material for the lower secondary school mathematics. They are using Maple T.A. at their school so during the summer i created material for the 7 weeks course.
