“…We have developed a new experience, like the case of Ref. , but ours is related to matrices and image processing. We did an item analysis with Cronbach's Alpha to get a reliable survey, avoiding unreliable data.…”

In this paper we examine the effect of the use of a Computer Algebra System (CAS) to solve interdisciplinary problems. We have been working for some years in the application of mathematics to different engineering problems, the main reason was to improve the motivation of our students and to make possible for them to connect and apply what they learn in Linear Algebra class to other engineering subjects. We describe a case study with students of Electromechanical and Mechanical Engineering from the Coimbra Institute of Engineering and from Geological and Industrial Engineering students from the University of Salamanca in a Linear Algebra course. The study involves the application of digital image processing to develop the basic skills of Linear Algebra. Furthermore, we include the results of a pre-test and post-test control group study using that application in the classroom. The results indicate that the experiences were very enriching for the students in different subjects. We tested at different centers from two different countries with similar results. ß 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Teachers were of the view that diagrams can improve the teaching and learning of geometry as well as encouraging the students to reflect on the fundamental concept (Puphaiboon & Woodcock, 2005). Konyalioglu, Isik, Kaplan, Hizarci, and Durkaya's (2011) study revealed that the use of diagrams made lessons fascinating, motivating, thereby removing boredom from the learners. In addition, in the same study, most of the learners pointed out that they saw the necessity of visualization, specifically the use of diagrams, whether they were drawn or produced by technology.…”

Geometry is an essential component of mathematics which promotes the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Geometry shapes are an integral part of our lives. This study focused on the teachers’ practices, specifically on how teachers ought to be equipped with a good understanding on the effectiveness of the use of use of diagrams in geometry teaching and learning. A mixed method approach comprising of questionnaires and interviews was used in this study. Ninety-one teachers participated in this study. The research findings were categorized using the four themes of utility, positive attitudes, negative attitudes, and teachers’ use of diagrams in geometry class. The study showed that diagrams are effective in the teaching and learning of geometry concepts. It is recommended that teachers could do well if they make use of technology in designing diagrams to be used in the teaching and learning of geometry.

In engineering careers, the study of Linear Algebra begins in the first course. Some topics included in this subject are systems of linear equations and vector spaces. Linear Algebra is very useful but can be very abstract for teaching and learning.In an attempt to reduce learning difficulties, different approaches of teaching activities supported by interactive tools were analyzed. This paper presents these tools, designed with GeoGebra for the Algebra and Analytic Geometry course at the Facultad Regional San Nicolás (FRSN), Universidad Tecnológica Nacional (UTN), Argentina.
