Objective 01
Your answer :
Not at all 0 1 2 3 4 5 Yes indeed
I don't know : N
Your answer
1 Mathematics have an interest, especially for solving concrete problems
2 Mathematics are used primarily to model phenomena
3 Mathematics explain facts in reality
4 Mathematics are used mostly in technical domains
5 Mathematics are useless in everyday life
6 Only applied mathematics are interesting
7 Mathematics are useful in all sciences
8 Mathematics serve no purpose in human sciences
9 Human relationships can not be explained by mathematics
10 Natural phenomena are too complex to be apprehended by mathematics
11 Mathematics can be applied to man crafted objects and much less to objects found in nature
12 Learning mathematics in early classes serves mostly the purpose to help the children get around in life
A questionnaire about
conceptions on
mathematics, for
students, teachers,
professionals
17
Objective 02
1 In engineer school, mathematics are mostly pure and abstract
2 We need more applied mathematics in engineer training
3 In engineer school, theory are taught without taking into account their applications
4 Math teachers think they possess truth
5 There is almost no connection between math teaching and the engineer job reality
6 Math teaching doesn't try to establish links with other sciences
7 Mathematics weight too much in engineer training
8 Mathematics can not be avoided in engineer training
9 A teacher only purpose is to bring knowledge to students
10 The structure of math courses doesn't allow learning autonomy
11 With new means available to students, learning is no longer required, one just has to quickly find solutions to
problems that are encountered
12 Math teaching evolves according to changes in society, for example integrating new technology
13 Courses haven't changed in the last decades when the world is evolving greatly and fast
14 Math teaching for engineers is a one way process: knowledge flows from the teacher to the students
18

2 Mathematics are only a tool for science
3 Mathematics objects are not real
4 Three is no room for creativity and imagination in mathematics
5 Mathematics raised from concrete needs
6 There is no room for uncertainty in mathematics
7 Only math can approach truth
8 Mathematics are only an abstraction, they don't deal with reality
9 Mathematics necessarily mitigate what they model
10 Mathematics really explain only what is man made
11 A mathematical model is necessarily limited
12 A mathematical theory can not be refuted
13 Mathematics have no meaning in real life, they don't represent anything real
14 Mathematics can not be the subject of a conversation (contrarily to literature or philosophy)
15 Mathematics are better left to experts and initiated people
16 Mathematics are a human construction
17 Mathematics are universal
18 Mathematics only approximate and mitigate what they study
19 To be good at math means to be good at everything
20 Usual words have the same meaning in real life and in math sentences
21 In mathematics, it's possible to find new theories
