Abstract

This research article is about "Introducing a Supportive Framework to Address Students' Misconceptions and Difficulties in Learning Mathematical proof techniques (MPT): A Case of Debark University”. This study aims to develop, introduce, and implement a supportive framework to overcome students’ misconceptions and difficulties in MPT. The framework, named IR2CP2CE, was developed, introduced, and implemented at Debark University in Ethiopia using various data-gathering instruments such as questionnaires, interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis from students and instructors. The study collected data over four months, including the implementation of a supportive framework using mixed, quasi-experimental, and pragmatism research approaches, designs, and paradigms respectively. The internal reliability of the data-gathering instruments was interpreted using Cronbach’s coefficient, Spearman-Brown, Spearman correlations, Kuder-Richardson 20 and 21, and difficulty and discrimination indices. The results showed that the implementation of the supportive framework led to significant improvements in students’ academic performance in MPT, regardless of factors such as gender, academic year category, and preliminary knowledge and proving skills. This study recommends additional imperatives for practice and future research.

Abstract

This study focused on \Methods of finding all factors of a natural number". The study was designed to show the simplest and precise methods of finding all factors of a natural number, and to point out the advantages of the simplest and precise methods of finding all factors of a natural number. The study found out that SPAM1 method and method of using REM2 formulas are simple and precise methods to find all factors of a given natural number. By applying the preliminary concepts for the simplest and precise methods of finding all factors of a natural number, methods of finding all factors of a natural number i.e. SPAM method and method of using REM formulas are developed in this study.
