ATTITUDES AND PERCEPTIONS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS TOWARDS CALCULUS

For many years, great concern have been expressed about the excessive failure rate of calculus in many universities around the world. Students’ poor performance in calculus was well documented in previous studies (Gynnild et al., 2005; Basaruddin et al., 2003; Zhang, 2003; Suresh, 2002; Douglas, 1998; Culotta, 1992; Lax, 1990). Most of the studies reported that over a third or probably half of the students enrolled in calculus course(s) each year failed the courses. 

Numerous studies had been conducted, focusing on the difficulty in acquiring a good working knowledge of calculus (Dreyfus, 1991; Madison & Hart, 1990; Cipra, 1988; NCTM & MAA, 1987; Orton, 1983a; 1983b) and on the influencing factors that contributed to the under-achievements in calculus (Tang et al., 2010, Chen et al., 2002; Tucker & Leitzel, 1995; Orton, 1979). As many problems exist with regards to calculus, there were many national attempts towards calculus reform (Smith III & Star, 2007; Hurley et al., 1999; Narasimhan, 1993; Ferrini-Mundy & Graham, 1991). 

However, the calculus reform had sparked a backlash (Wilson, 1997; Cipra, 1996) and no consensus has been reached on the problems of reducing the failure rate and the method of teaching conceptual understanding of calculus (Tang et al., 2010; Yudariah & Roselainy, 2001; Thompson, 1994; Douglas, 1986).

Literature review made easy

 

The pen is mightier than the sword but to many, writing is difficult.  Researchers lament that running experiment in labs is peanuts but reporting is hard.   However, believing to first attain skills, creativity comes later, Dr Teoh Sian Hoon of the Faculty of Education, has created an Integrative Literature Review Software to assist academics and students to write the literature reviews of their research.

Though important, reviewing an article or synthesizing a model is unfortunately not as tangible and clear-cut as a research design.  Hence many encounter difficulties in writing a comprehensive literature review and synthesizing a conceptual framework.   Unlike a literature review, a research design has a concrete outline of the method of data collection and data analysis, thus this forces university students to attend courses on writing it.

Although most university students attend training session to write research paper during their studies,  Teoh  said, despite the training, writing a good literature review still poses major challenge to most of us.
 

Teoh’s survey on university students’ description and understanding on literature review revealed that the supervisors of postgraduates need to accept literature reviews as a problem area for students. She noted there is a need to develop strategies and tools to help the students have a clear picture on writing.

Engineering Research: from the Ivory Tower Reaching out to the Disabled Community

 

Engineering is often envisaged as the branch of knowledge connected to maths and sciences to solve real-world problems. In most parts of the world, any person who wishes to practice as an engineer must first successfully complete an accredited degree in engineering. Therein lays the path to pursue postgraduate study to individuals who wish to reach the highest levels of his or her capabilities. Such pursuit relies greatly on the opportunities and the wealth of researches that are accessible in the institutions of higher learning. 

Undeniably, on-going research is the beating pulse of the university. It is the catalyst to the number of grants acquiredfrom the government and private sector; and of course the ‘magnet’ that draws postgraduate students to the particular university. Despite all this, the research in engineering needs to be motivated by the ‘values’ it carries into the society. Then only the gap between the academia (often termed as the ‘ivory tower’) and the community can be bridged together.

Robotics is a branch of engineering that involves the operations and applications of robot technology. The research trend in this area is experiencing a paradigm shift from industrial robots towards socially assistive robotics and human-friendly robots. 

Rehabilitation robotics is part of the notion for robots to play substantial role in healthcare and specific rehab interventions for the elderly people and persons affected by neurodevelopmental disorders such as Cerebral Palsy (CP) and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). With robotic intervention, it is hoped that the quality of life for the disabled can be made better and they may gain more independence in their daily lives.
