Emergent mathematics curriculum: A case study of two teachers.
(2002)The purpose of this case study was to explore the pedagogic practices of two purposively selected teachers and their implementation of an emergent mathematics curriculum. The study aimed to provide insight into what pedagogic ... -
Emergent mathematics in a grade-two classroom: A search for complex relationships.
(1998)In light of the organically interconnected relationships of learning mathematics, a theoretical heuristic was developed to exemplify the implications of the findings of the study. Called SEARCH, the heuristic highlighted ... -
An Examination of the Genesis, Maintenance, and Manifestation of the Pedagogical Beliefs of a Novel Instructor - A Case Study
(2018-12-14)The great preponderance of research in undergraduate mathematics, especially as it pertains to students transitioning into post-secondary education, tends to problematize the student or the difference in the educational ... -
Exploring children's geometric thinking.
(1998)This study examined seven 4th and 5th graders' geometric thinking, specifically their understanding in the areas of area and volume. Base Ten Blocks, Tangrams, questions on 2-D and 3-D are three categories of geometric ... -
Factors contributing to the successful completion of online Algebra I courses by secondary students.
(2007)Research Question #2. Is there any significant difference in the performance of students enrolled in public schools in comparison with students who are home schooled? -
Faculty definitions of and beliefs about student ability: Are they related to classroom structures, student retention, and student pass rates?
(1998)Analysis of the interviews indicated that faculty do not have a common definition of mathematical ability and while all believed that students could learn, a few voiced the belief that students have ceilings or limits to ... -
Impact of an Internet project on college mathematics students' discourse and meaning-making.
(2001)Recommendations for future research regarding students' meaning efforts included suggestions for possible holistic approaches as well as suggestions for more student input into classroom curriculum design. Some examples ... -
Impact of culture circles on minority high school students in mathematics.
(2000)Especially important to the findings of the study was the establishment of an environment for positive change in the students' performances by having the culture circle group meetings. The impact of the culture circle ... -
