TU Dublin’s Professor Shannon Chance guest edits IEEE Transactions on Education
TU Dublin’s Professor Shannon Chance served as the lead guest editor for the newly published IEEE Transactions on Education special issue on the “Conceptual Learning of Mathematics-Intensive Concepts in Engineering”. It offers nine articles covering three categories: assessment, instruction, and learning.
In this issue –
- Discover assessment principles for designing rubrics.
- Learn how textbooks differ in their explanations of differential equations and how concept maps can support the transfer of learning.
- Read about integrating real-life engineering examples into mathematics education using e-Textbooks, and using software to help students bridge the gap between procedural skills and conceptual understanding of the Laplace transform.
- Find out how to overcome misconceptions regarding:
As described in the guest editorial for this special issue, Drs. Shannon Chance (Ireland), Farrah Fayyaz (Canada), Anita Campbell (South Africa), Nicole Pitterson (USA), and Sadia Nawaz (Australia) implemented a range of innovative, collaborative models for capacity- and community-building while shepherding this project from conception to completion. Their editorial also provides recommendations for IEEE and other editors of special focus journal issues.
