Objective 01

Your answer :Not at all 0 1 2 3 4 5 Yes indeedI don't know : N

Your answer1 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

Objective 03

1 In mathematics, there is nothing left to discover2 Mathematics are only a tool for science3 Mathematics objects are not real4 Three is no room for creativity and imagination in mathematics5 Mathematics raised from concrete needs6 There is no room for uncertainty in mathematics7 Only math can approach truth8 Mathematics are only an abstraction, they don't deal with reality9 Mathematics necessarily mitigate what they model10 Mathematics really explain only what is man made11 A mathematical model is necessarily limited12 A mathematical theory can not be refuted13 Mathematics have no meaning in real life, they don't represent anything real14 Mathematics can not be the subject of a conversation (contrarily to literature or philosophy)15 Mathematics are better left to experts and initiated people16 Mathematics are a human construction17 Mathematics are universal18 Mathematics only approximate and mitigate what they study19 To be good at math means to be good at everything20 Usual words have the same meaning in real life and in math sentences21 In mathematics, it's possible to find new theories
