Abstract

In Iran and many other parts of the world, teaching and learning mathematics has confronted students and teachers with many challenges such as lack of motivation and increased anxiety. Thus, the current situation should be changed and shifted to active methods. One of the active methods is teaching with the help of multimedia. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of teaching using multimedia systems on the students' motivation and anxiety in mathematics. The method is a quasi-experimental with pretest and posttest design with a control group. Based on the available sampling, two classes were selected and a class was randomly assigned to the experimental group and the other to the control group. The tools were questionnaires on mathematical anxiety and motivation. In 8 sessions, using multimedia systems, the experimental group was taught, but in the control group, the same concepts were taught in a conventional way in Iran. In the end, Mathematical Anxiety and Mathematical Motivation Questionnaires were performed on both groups. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups in each of the dependent variables and the use of multimedia systems has affected the students’ motivation and anxiety in mathematics.

Abstract

Several studies tried to introduce some of the efficient factors that can influence fostering mathematical creativity in learning environments. since some of the variables associated with mathematical creativity in educational environments depend on the culture, conducting research in this area seems necessary. It should be noted that the contribution of Iranian researchers to these studies is very small. The paper aims to study the role of instructors in nurturing creativity in mathematics students from math students’ point of view and to present a conceptual model. The research is a qualitative study conducted using grounded theory. Participants were selected from university students who are studying mathematics in the universities of the city of Tehran in Iran using purposive sampling and the sampling is stopped until theoretical saturation. Finally, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 10 students. Interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and coded in the two stages of free coding and axial coding. Classification of codes led to numerous categories. The findings show that instructors can influence several aspects: belief, intention, mathematical knowledge, mathematical thinking, and personality characteristics such that being persistent, being a risk taker, and forgetting fixation.
