The Individual

The purpose of this chapter is to reflect on the influence of the adoption of a combination of research paradigms on the design, implementation, and outcomes of a research exercise. The research question for the study was: How may students' approaches to learning (engineering) mathematics be characterized? The aim of the exercise was to characterize students' approaches to learning mathematics on an Engineering Mathematics course, based on evidence from student interviewees' transcripts. The individual student learning approach characterizations were undertaken through the adoption of an integrated framework comprising the “approaches to learning” theoretical framework and goal theory, with secondary data analysis, based on the “three worlds of mathematics” framework. The research paradigm employed was essentially interpretivist/constructivist. The neo-positivist paradigm, inductive mode, was also referenced. Qualitative research methods were employed with integration of multiple theoretical frameworks for the design, data collection and analyses, and interpretation of the results of the study.
