EDUCATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS OF MATHEMATICS E-LEARNING WITH A UNIFIED MATH INPUT USER INTERFACE

Recently, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has become increasingly important, and one of the challenges in digitizing mathematics teaching materials is the input of formulae.To address this issue, we proposed an intelligent formula input user interface (UI) employing predictive conversion from ambiguous text in 2015.In mathematics education that uses an e-learning environment, UI unification is important for inputting mathematical formulae.In this study, we adopted the mathematics e-learning system Moodle+STACK to unify the UI for inputting the mathematical formulae.The effectiveness of this method in mathematics education was verified in a mathematics class for students at our university and student reactions were investigated.
