Influence of the Type of Mathematical Problems on Students’ and Pre-service Teachers’ Interest and Performance. A Replication and Elaboration Study

Abstract Several studies confirm the importance of the role of students’ interest in learning mathematics. This article describes the process of conceptual replication of Rellensmann and Schukajlow’s (2017) research on how the connection to the reality of a mathematical problem affects the interest in solving it. Our study distinguishes between intramathematical problems, word problems and modelling problems. It was implemented with 80 Spanish ninth-grade students and 80 pre-service teachers. The results show that Spanish students are more interested in intramathematical problems and less interested in modelling problems, while pre-service teachers are more interested in problems connected to reality, especially word problems. We also provide data regarding the performance of students and prospective teachers, which is higher in word problems. In addition, we find that there are significant relationships between performance and task-specific interest. These results complement the original study, as they allow us to contrast whether there are differences with German students and to explain the German pre-service teachers’ judgements of students’ interest in problems with and without a connection to reality.

Study on Mathematics Teaching Based on Virtual Reality in China

Virtual Reality (VR) is of great relevance in improving the teaching quality of mathematics and students' interest in learning mathematics. In recent years, some scholars have conducted research on mathematics teaching based on VR in China, but there has not yet been any literature that summarizes and sorts out them. To establish the aspects included in the current resources on VR-based mathematics teaching and find out the shortcomings and gaps in the current research. This paper adopts the method of literature analysis to read, summarize, and organize the previous related studies, and draws the following conclusions: (1) Previous research mainly focuses on five aspects, namely, the advantages and significance of VR in mathematics teaching, suggestions for mathematics teaching based on VR, strategies for VR-based mathematics classes, shortcomings and challenges of VR-based teaching, as well as practical explorations of VR-based teaching. (2) The methods of research are relatively single, mainly qualitative research and less quantitative research. (3) There are some blank spots in the research. First, Most of the research on VR-based classes is based on the content of the curriculum compulsory education, with less research based on senior high school, middle colleges and university. Second, the research focuses mainly on the teaching of the Geometry section, with less coverage of other curriculum sections. Third, although some scholars have put forward specific teaching ideas for the use of VR in math classes, most of them have not yet been implemented in practice. So it is necessary for future research to conduct deeper research on VR-based mathematics teaching with more diverse research methods on the basis of existing research, to make suggestions on the effective use of VR in mathematics teaching.
