Mathematics Self Efficacy

History of mathematics (HOM) was incorporated into peer teaching during lesson study as a strategy to augment the mathematics self-efficacy of female pre-service teachers in Ghana. An overview of studies on methodological approaches of integrating the history of mathematics into the teaching and learning process was presented. Mathematics Self-efficacy Scale and Grade Descriptor Grid were used to assess 12 female pre-service teachers' confidence level and performance respectively during lesson study. Results revealed that pre-service teachers exhibited a moderate self-efficacy level as well as moderately good performance in lesson instruction. A web-based questionnaire item responded by participants revealed that integrating HOM into lessons has the potential to improve teachers' self-efficacy. The impact of the study included: change of pre-service teachers' perception about teaching mathematics, a positive attitude towards mathematics, broadened conceptual knowledge and exposure to the multiplicity of problem-solving approaches. It was recommended that innovative pedagogical strategies should be adopted to enhance females' self-efficacy towards teaching mathematics. Also, teachers need to participate in lesson study as a professional collaboration which can improve their pedagogical knowledge. Further studies should investigate the relationship between prospective female teachers' self-efficacy and their mathematics achievement.

Resumo: A história da matemática como campo de investigação cientifica tem possibilitado, por meio da observação e análise em tratados históricos que carregam em seu conteúdo e contexto uma gama de informações, a produção de narrativas historiográficas das quais são elencados desdobramentos para o ensino. Tal fato tem ocorrido a partir do pressuposto de que a incorporação de elementos da história em sala pode fornecer subsídios ao processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Visto isso, mediante a proximidade com a educação básica, em especial com o ensino médio, desenvolveu-se esse estudo na tentativa de identificar a aproximação das escritas baseadas na história da matemática presentes em livros didáticos do ensino médio com as vertentes historiográficas tradicional e atualizada. Nessa perspectiva, a pesquisa ora realizada foi de cunho qualitativa documental com uma contribuição bibliográfica. Verificou-se nesse estudo que os textos, em que informações da história são elucidadas, possuem características que condizem com a vertente historiográfica tradicional. Em nenhuma das alusões feitas à história foi possível observar um domínio de características que a indicasse como próxima a uma escrita da história nos moldes da vertente atualizada.Palavras-chave: Ensino de matemática. Livro didático. Escrita da história da matemática. Abstract: Tradução do resumo para o Inglês. The history of mathematics as a field of scientific investigation has made possible through observation and analysis in treaties and / or works that carry in their content and context a range of information to the production of some historiographical narratives, of which they are sometimes listed and / or some of its implications for teaching. This fact has occurred from the assumption that the incorporation of elements of the story into room may possibly provide subsidies to the teaching and learning process. Given this, and through proximity to basic education, especially with secondary education, this study was developed in an attempt to identify the approximation of the writings based on the history of mathematics present in high school textbooks with the traditional and updated historiographic aspect. From this perspective, the research carried out was qualitative documentary with a bibliographical contribution. It was mentioned in this study that the texts, in which information of the story are elucidated, have characteristics that correspond to the traditional historiographic aspect, in none of the allusions made history was it possible to observe a domain of characteristics that indicated it as close to a writing of history in the molds of the updated slope.Keywords: Teaching mathematics.

The 19Th Century

This article is dedicated to discussing the implementation of the descriptive geometry, i.e. the scientific novelty from the end of the 18th century, in secondary school education on the Polish territories in the 19th century. At that time, Polish lands were under the occupation of three empires: Prussia, Austria, and Russia. Over the time, the policy of the partition empires toward the Poles was changing in intensity. As a consequence, in the 19th century, there were schools on the Polish territories with Polish, Prussian, Austrian and Russian curricula and relevant lecture languages. The article analyses the implementation of descriptive geometry into teaching mathematics in schools located in all three partitions.

The Impact

IntroductionA person-centred approach, to know about a person’s individual weaknesses and strengths, is warranted in today’s healthcare in Sweden. When a person suffers from obesity, there are not only risks for comorbidities but also increased risk for decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL). After bariatric surgery, there are also risks for complications; however, healthcare service expects the person to have sufficient ability to handle recovery after surgery. The need is to investigate how a person’s self-efficacy and health literacy(HL) skills are important to determine their effect on recovery as well as HRQoL after bariatric surgery. It can, involve the person in the care, improve shared decision-making, and perhaps decrease complications and readmissions.Method and analysisThis is a prospective, longitudinal mixed-methods study with the intent of including 700 patients from three bariatric centres in Sweden (phase 1); 20 patients will be included in a qualitative study (phase 2). Inclusion criteria will be age >17 years, scheduled primary bariatric surgery and ability to read and understand the Swedish language in speech and in writing. Inclusion criteria for the qualitative study will be patients who reported a low self-efficacy, with a selection to ensure maximum variation regarding age and gender. Before bariatric surgery patients will answer a questionnaire including 20 items. Valid and reliable instruments will be used to investigate general self-efficacy (10 items) and functional and communicative and critical HL (10 items). This data collection will then be merged with data from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry. Analysis will be performed 30 days, 1 year and 2 years after bariatric surgery. One year after bariatric surgery the qualitative study will be performed. The main outcomes are the impact of a person’s self-efficacy and HL on recovery after bariatric surgery.Ethics and disseminationThe study has received approval from the ethical review board in Uppsala, Sweden (number 2018/256). The study results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations to the scientific community and social media.

Mathematics Self Efficacy

To promote the academic success of middle school students, the authors examined the effects of computer uses on mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics performance of students, paying focused attention to immigrant students. They analysed the effects of computer use for schoolwork and gaming of middle school students applying a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) USA. The results showed that when students frequently used computer for schoolwork, they revealed high mathematics self-efficacy, which in turn led to high mathematics performance. On the other hand, the students that used computer for gaming frequently indicated low mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics performance. The authors' study results highlight the importance of guiding students to use computers properly, which is directly and indirectly associated with students' self-efficacy and performance in mathematics.
