Student Evaluations of the Applied Mathematics Educational Program through the Color Selection Method Elena Kuznetsova Educación Lüscher Test Higher education Mathematics education Student evaluation of teaching It is no doubt that today the role of mathematics is increasing and mathematical education requires constant attention. Nevertheless, there are not so many studies devoted to the problems of teaching university students who have chosen mathematics as their profession. The purpose of this article is to research the attitude of undergraduates towards the courses that make up the Applied Mathematics educational program, implemented in one of the technical universities in Russia. The survey was conducted using the Color Selection Method, based on Max Lüscher ideas. Students have associated each course with one of the eight proposed colors. The outcomes of the survey were investigated through correlation and cluster analysis and compared with the results of another survey conducted by a verbal evaluation tool. This research has revealed that the student's assessments obtained through two methods (verbal and imaginative) do not contradict each other. The use of the Color Selection Method helps identifying the problems that arise in the educational process and allows to outline ways of improving teaching quality. 2020 artículo científico 0103-636X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=291265339017 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2912/291265339017/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2912/291265339017/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2912/291265339017/291265339017.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2912/291265339017/movil 10.1590/1980-4415v34n66a15 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2912 Boletim de Educação Matemática application/pdf Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho Boletim de Educação Matemática (Brasil) Num.66 Vol.34 |
