Overcoming Students Obstacles in Multivariable Calculus through Blended Learning: A Mathematical Thinking Approach

Multivariable calculus is one of the most difficult courses for undergraduate students in many fields of studies. This study used blended learning as a teaching and learning environment to support students’ mathematical thinking and to help students in overcoming their obstacles in the learning of multivariable calculus. The main purpose of this study is to determine the impact of blended learning on the students’ learning of multivariable calculus and in overcoming students’ obstacles. The results revealed that blended learning is an adequate environment since it provides sufficient tools that support students’ mathematical thinking powers to overcome their obstacles in learning multivariable calculus.
