Estimation of uncertainty for problem solving by fuzzy mathematics tools
Journal Title: European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The occurrence of uncertainty should be taken into consideration at all stages of solving research problems, from assignment to evaluation. The aim of this paper is to show possibilities of processing and evaluation of experiment based on the analysis of uncertainty using fuzzy math. We will mainly focus on the cases where it is impossible to evaluate results of experiment using standard statistical methods, due to the small extent of the investigation file. For example, this situation occurs very often with specialized training, not only in technical colleges. The paper will also feature a sample of an evaluation experiment concerning the extent of realization of chosen teaching methods of numerical math, which took place in the previous academic year at the Transport Faculty of the University of Pardubice.

Improving the teaching of science through discipline-based education research: An example from physics
Research on the learning and teaching of science is an important field for scholarly inquiry by faculty in science departments. Such research has proved to be an efficient means for improving the effectiveness of instruc...
Activating pre-service mathematics teachers' critical thinking
Teachers’ critical thinking skills are essential for fostering the development of the same skills in their students. To demonstrate how teachers’ ability to examine solutions critically can be developed and supported, we...
Conceptualizations of representation forms and knowledge organization of high school teachers in Finland: “magnetostatics”
One of the main components of teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge refers to their use of representation forms. In a similar vein, organizing concepts logically and meaningfully is an essential element of teachers’ s...
Effects of multiple choice options in mathematics learning
In recent years, the ability to use mathematics flexibly in everyday situations is increasingly accentuated, and mathematics education gives more and more attention to problems with realistic contexts. However, it is re...
Definitions are important: the case of linear algebra
In this paper we describe an experiment in a linear algebra course. The aim of the experiment was to promote the students' understanding of the studied concepts focusing on their definitions. It seems to be a given that...
