For collecting the required information, a computerized questionnaire designed by the authors of this work and validated by the Ethics Committee of the Madrid Open University (UDIMA), has been used. The results of our study reveal the preservice teachers' memories about mathematics during the Primary and Secondary stages. Traditional teaching models, based on the repetition of calculation procedures, are the majority compared to other active teaching models. It is observed that a progressive increase in the methodologies supported by solving complex problems, detecting a moderate influence of the legislative changes produced in Spain in 2006. The mastery of classical teaching models and the moderate work around complex problems detected in pre-university education can be major constraints when developing new competency-based legislative approaches.","PeriodicalId":42532,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76553909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Students are unable to perform well in Mathematic Assessments Tasks specifically on this concept. Drawing from this is the declining percentages of student enrolments in mathematics at National Qualification Framework (NQF) level 2. The aim of this study was to enhance the teaching and learning of Mathematical Geometry through the integration of indigenous knowledge in the form of a pilot-practical assessment task (PAT). The research team made use of focus group discussions to gather empirical data. Students were given the practical assessment task that incorporated indigenous knowledge to close the gap of students being unable to relate the mathematical geometry taught in the classroom to their everyday lives that seemed to prevail amongst mathematics students at a TVET College. Ten co-researchers were homogeneously selected based on their level of experience in teaching mathematical geometry at a TVET college located in the Afromontane communities of Thabo Mofutsanyane municipality, South Africa. The result indicated that indigenous knowledge can be utilized as an effective way of learning and teaching mathematical geometry at the TVET college.","PeriodicalId":42532,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76413338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
