Comparative Judgement of Statements About Mathematical Definitions

Data from a comparative judgement survey consisting of 62 working mathematics educators (ME) at Norwegian universities or city colleges, and 57 working mathematicians at Norwegian universities. A total of 3607 comparisons of which 1780 comparisons by the ME and 1827 ME. The comparative judgement survey consisted of respondents comparing pairs of statements on mathematical definitions compiled from a literature review on mathematical definitions in the mathematics education literature. Each WM was asked to judge 40 pairs of statements with the following question: “As a researcher in mathematics, where your target group is other mathematicians, what is more important about mathematical definitions?” Each ME was asked to judge 41 pairs of statements with the following question: “For a mathematical definition in the context of teaching and learning, what is more important?” The comparative judgement was done with No More Marking software (nomoremarking.com) The data set consists of the following data: comparisons made by ME (ME.csv) comparisons made by WM (WM.csv) Look up table of codes of statements and statement formulations (key.csv) Each line in the comparison represents a comparison, where the "winner" column represents the winner and the "loser" column the loser of the comparison.

本数据集源自一项比较判断调查，该调查汇集了62位在挪威大学或城市学院工作的在职数学教育工作者（ME）以及57位在挪威大学工作的在职数学家。数据集包含总计3607次比较，其中1780次由ME进行，1827次由WM进行。比较判断调查要求受访者对数学定义文献综述中整理出的成对陈述进行对比。每位WM被要求就以下问题对40对陈述进行判断：“作为一名数学研究者，若您的目标受众为其他数学家，数学定义中何者更为重要？”每位ME则被要求就以下问题对41对陈述进行判断：“在数学教学的背景下，数学定义中何者更为重要？”比较判断通过No More Marking软件（nomoremarking.com）进行。数据集包含以下数据：ME进行的比较（ME.csv）、WM进行的比较（WM.csv）、陈述编码和表述查找表（key.csv）。每行比较数据代表一次比较，其中“赢家”列表示比较的胜者，“败者”列表示比较的败者。
