Instructional strategies and information technologies used for supporting the undergraduate mathematics teaching process: Scoping review protocol

Evidence from previous studies shows that in undergraduate programs, the highest rates of academic failure are in mathematics courses, especially in engineering programs. To reduce the failure rate, professors use several instructional strategies and information technologies. In this paper, a scoping review protocol is presented, based on the framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley (2005), to answer the following research questions: 1) What are the instructional strategies that have been most successfully used for teaching mathematics at the undergraduate level? and 2) Which information technologies have been used to implement these instructional strategies? The scoping review was performed through three electronic databases: SCOPUS, ERIC and JSTOR.
