Students international competition: promoting engagement and social skills
Baptista Soares, Filomena; Paula Lopes, Ana; Bocanet, Vlad; Brown, Ken; Cellmer, Anna; Kierkosz, Igor; Labanova, Oksana; Serrat, Carles; Uukkivi, AnneSix Higher Education Institutions (HEI), from different European countries (Estonia, Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Romania, and Spain) joined forces in 2018 to launch a shared Erasmus+ Project under the Key Action - Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices. The project's “heart and soul” was to provide an online course on fundamental mathematical themes that would serve as a base for the speci...
Online engineering mathematics course: development and implementation of a succ...
Baptista Soares, Filomena; Paula Lopes, Ana; Cellmer, Anna; Uukkivi, Anne; Serrat, Carles; Pantazi, Chara; Feniser, Cristina; Safiulina, ElenaAccording to the New UNESCO global survey studying the effect of Covid-19 on higher education (2021) the pandemic has had an impact on higher education systems in terms of access and quality of teaching and learning. Covid-19 has caused the suspension and cancellation of teaching activities and its major impact on teaching and learning is the increase in online education. The Engimath - Mathematics on-line lear...
Innovative teaching methodologies for an online engineering mathematics course
Baptista Soares, Filomena; Paula Lopes, Ana; Cellmer, Anna; Uukkivi, Anne; Feniser, Cristina; Safiulina, Elena; Kelly, Gerald; Cymerman, JoannaThe fast evolution of distance learning tools such as Open Educational Resources (OER)) is an evidence of a shift in the way teaching and learning are understood. Several Higher Education Institutions are trying to increase their efficiency, competitiveness and expand their potential public by investing in the development of online courses, which can offer more interaction and support and be accessible to a lar...
Change in Gap Perception within Current Practices in Assessing Students Learnin...
Bocanet, Vlad I.; Brown, Ken; Uukkivi, Anne; Soares, Filomena Baptista; Paula Lopes, Ana; Cellmer, Anna; Serrat, Carles; Feniser, CristinaThe COVID pandemic has touched many aspects of everyone’s life. Education is one of the fields greatly affected by it, as students and teachers were forced to move online and quickly adapt to the online environment. Assessment is a crucial part of education, especially in STEM fields. A gap analysis was performed by expert groups in the frame of an Erasmus+ project looking at the practices of six European count...
Poster: Technique of Active Online Training: Lessons Learnt from EngiMath Project
Labanova, Oksana; Safiulina, Elena; Latõnina, Marina; Uukkivi, Anne; Bocanet, Vlad; Feniser, Cristina; Serdean, Florina; Paula Lopes, AnaThe goal of this paper is to introduce a technique of creating self-tests that has allowed to actively incorporate university students into the learning process. The study was conducted within the framework of the Erasmus+ Project EngiMath. Partners’ peer reviews, the survey results and the students’ comments in forums and test results were used to conduct the research. The students’ overall satisfaction was in...
Developing interactive e-contents for a mathematic Ersmus+ Project: challenges ...
Baptista Soares, Filomena; Paula Lopes, Ana; Cellmer, Anna; Uukkivi, Anne; Rebollar, Carolina; Varela, Concepcion; Feniser, Cristina; Bravo, EugenioStimulating students for learning is a regularly recurring theme that never seems finished, remaining in the frontline of teachers’ day to day struggle, and this recurrent factor is exponentiated when the subjects are directly related with Mathematics. In November 2018 the European Project EngiMath started work the development of a common Mathematics course for engineering students from the 6 countries of the c...
Bringing Mathematics to Engineering: Online Learning-Teaching Model
Bilbao, J.; Bravo, E.; Garcia, O.; Rebollar, C.; Varela, C.; Uukkivi, A.; Labanova, O.; Latõnina, Marina; Safiulina, E.; Cellmer, Anna; Cymerman, JoannaEngineering and Mathematics are closely related, the latter being a fundamental tool and being also at the base of many, if not all, of the processes employed in the former one. Engineering in turn is a source of application for those mathematical concepts that are, sometimes, difficult to understand by undergraduate students in universities. Precisely, so that this relationship can be more fluid and comfortabl...
Exploring and developing a shared understanding of the issues surrounding engin...
Bilbao, J.; Bravo, E.; García, O.; Rebollar, C.; Varela, C.; Uukkivi, A.; Labanova, O.; Latõnina, Marina; Safiulina, E.; Cellmer, Anna; Cymerman, JoannaAbstract: - Although Mathematics is a pillar which many of the subjects of any Engineering degree are based on, and in spite of being used as a tool in almost all of such subjects, it is sometimes difficult for students to assimilate the mathematical concepts. Since this relationship between Engineering and Mathematics is unavoidable, a consortium of universities from different countries is working on a project...
Development of a Mathematics On-line Project in Engineering Education
Soares, Filomena Baptista; Lopes, Ana Paula; Cellmer, Anna; Uukkivi, Anne; Rebollar, Carolina; Varela, Concepcion; Feniser, Cristina; Safiulina, ElenaEmbracing tertiary education system represents the beginning of a transition and adjustment period for several students. Most of these have just finished high school where the environment is strictly defined, controlled, stable and attendance is mandatory. Higher Education changes the role of students’ responsibility and this can cause stress and difficulty in the transition to selfdirected learning and autonom...
Perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes of first year third-level students: an empi...
Brown, Ken; Lopes, Ana Paula; Soares, Filomena; Larionova, Viola; Cellmer, Anna; Hurme, Jarkko HurmeThe contemporary skillset of undergraduates includes a degree of sophistication in the application of ICT within their daily lives as well as within the higher education environment. The assumption of the student as a digital native, with the ability to cognitively process information in an ICT focused educational environment, is omnipresent in higher education. It has been suggested this assumption does not ai...
