Supporting Students Mathematical Thinking in the Learning of Two-Variable Functions Through Blended Learning

Abstract: In multivariable calculus, the concept of multivariable function is one of the most difficult for undergraduate students to study. The main objective of this study is to establish a model of teaching and learning to support students' mathematical thinking in the learning of two-variable functions through a blended learning environment. The impact of this environment on students' learning of two-variable functions and in overcoming students' obstacles are put forward. Findings revealed that blended learning sup… Show more

“…Assessment: In blended learning, teachers can do summative and formative assessments such as quiz, test feedback and written tasks. (Kashefi, et al, 2012) Previous research found that blended learning offered several advantages such as: (1) flexible way of learning in terms of time and place, (2) students have autonomous to determine their own learning pace, (3) students have more responsibility on their learning (Tang & Chaw, 2013). Marco, Penichet, and Lázaro (2013, p. 730) identified main strengths found in blended learning: (1) flexibility because it enables the student to access the materials from anywhere at any time; (2) good student support; (3) improved pedagogy as it supports the face-to-face teaching approaches; (4) increased access and flexibility; (5) increased cost-effectiveness; (6) information from the face-to-face activities to total online interactions is stored in a single place; (7) promotion of social interaction; (8) quick feedback to learners which will help them in their learning process; (9) provides collaborative activities among teacher and students; 10) allows access to everyone who needs training by providing it in different ways.…”

“…Therefore, it can make it easier for students to carry out learning and easily accept lecturers' learning materials. Besides, students can discuss with friends either online or face-to-face in the learning room (Kashefi et al, 2012).…”

“…These results are in accordance with the results that have been obtained by Ramadhani (Ramadhani, Umam, Abdurrahman, & Syazali, 2019;Ramadhani, 2018) that mathematical abilities of students can be increased without the role of KAM students but is caused by the provision of new learning, one of which is the blended learning model. This model has also been previously proven to be able to support students 'mathematical thinking and help in overcoming additional obstacles in learning mathematics, such as in multivariable calculus learning, where blended learning is said to be an ideal environment to support students' thinking power through creative problem solving (Kashefi, Ismail, Yusof, & Rahman, 2012;. Students have positive feedback on mathematics when blended learning is applied (Lin, Tseng, & Chiang, 2017).…”
