Teaching trends of mathematics in engineering: Colombian and North American contexts. Entramado [online]. 2023, vol.19, n.1, pp.199-216.  Epub May 03, 2023.

This paper presents a systematic review of scientific articles, scoping review type, on mathematics education in engineering programs, in the Colombian and North American environments, during the period 2000 - 2020. The exploration, which arose from the research project "Theoretical and methodological foundations of mathematics education in engineering", followed the protocols of the Joanna Briggs Institute and considered specialized literature included in Scopus and Publindex. The information, classified as "pedagogical experience", "reflection" or "review", allowed describing research and action trends regarding teaching, learning, curriculum and assessment of engineering mathematics. The results allowed concluding that in the North American context there is a significant interest in research on learning, curriculum and assessment of engineering mathematics, from systemic, interdisciplinary and sociocultural approaches. In contrast, the literature on the subject in Colombia presents a tendency to study teaching processes from disciplinary and cognitive perspectives of mathematics education.

Keywords : Engineering education; mathematics education; mathematics teaching; curriculum.
