Abstract
In this study the mathematics thinking styles and the need for using mathematics education software for students of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science and the Department of Business at the Modern College of Business and Science has been identified. The study was conducted among 101 college students during the 2022-2023 academic year. To this end, a questionnaire was used to identify students’ preferences when attempting to solve a mathematical problem while the instructor is teaching them. According to the findings, there is a statistically significant difference between students from the two departments in terms of their preference to deal with mathematics concepts. More precisely, the preference of students from the Business department is visual thinking style, and they have a willingness to be taught by use of mathematical education software. Moreover, it is seen that Mathematics Thinking Styles are significantly different according to the students’ seniority levels. A statistically significant difference has been observed in the scores of willingness to use mathematics software in favor of the Business department. Finally, the Mathematics Thinking Styles scores do not show any statistically significant differences in terms of the CGPA of students.
