“…Additionally, representation means the process of modeling concrete things in the real world into abstract concepts or symbols [7]. The capability of mathematical representation may aid students in improving skills such as constructing, comprehending, and expressing mathematical ideas [8], [9], [10], [11]. Student interpretation may take the shape of words or vocal communication, writing, images, tables, graphs, tangible things, or mathematical symbols, among others.…”

Mathematics is abstract because mathematical objects or symbols do not exist in reality, it is almost impossible to access them without employing representations. Representations may aid in the transformation of physical models into abstract ideas or symbols. Students require representation to be able to describe, explain, and extend mathematical concepts by stressing the significance of form. However, it is unknown if visual students can grasp all elements of representation. The purpose of this research is to characterize students with visual learning styles' mathematical representation abilities while solving problems involving relations and functions. This study takes a qualitative approach. The researcher created the research instrument, which is already valid. This study was performed at SMP Negeri 1 Purwadadi, with a total of 34 students in class IX receiving material on relations and functions as research subjects. The researchers gathered data using a questionnaire that classified learners' learning styles (auditory, visual, and kinesthetic), as well as mathematical representation skill tests and interviews. Technical triangulation is used to do triangulation. The data were examined using the reduction, presentation, and verification phases. The study's findings indicated that visual students had greater mastery of mathematical representation abilities in the visual aspects, but lacked mastery in the verbal aspects.

“…Other universities, such as University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), provide Summer Programs for Undergraduate Research (SPUR), which offers upper division undergraduate students with outstanding academic potential and the opportunity to work closely with faculty mentors on research projects. Similar approach is also adopted in Texas A&M 12 where summer undergraduate students join research teams for 10 weeks.…”

In this paper, implementation and outcomes of an undergraduate research course are presented. The associated gains and learning outcomes of the course are evaluated and benchmarked with other international undergraduate research experiences. The course was offered to undergraduate students at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM). The research group structure adopts Georgia Tech model. The paper summarizes the course structure, content, and best practices. In addition, the results of undergraduate research experience survey are presented and analyzed. The students reported significant gains in understanding of the research process and significant improvements in writing and oral presentation skills.
