Application of an innovative alignment optimisation method to a cross-cultural mean comparison of teacher self-efficacy: A cross-country study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Teacher self-efficacy is a crucial personal characteristic that is important not only for teachers’ well-being but also for the overall teaching and learning. However, the difficulty to ascertain scalar invariance in the ... -
Applied Mathematics versus Fluid Dynamics The Catalytic Role of Richard von Mises (1883–1953)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This paper investigates scientific, institutional, and political conflict and collaboration between two different disciplines in the first part of the 20th century: applied mathematics and fluid dynamics. It argues for the ... -
Approaches to Learning Mathematics: Preliminary Evidence of a Concise, Valid, and Reliable Instrument
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We assess students’ approaches to learning mathematics not only to predict students’ learning outcomes but also for its crucial utilities in the teaching and learning process. These utilities range from evaluating effective ... -
