The business calculus GMTA: An exploration of teaching experiences in an unfamiliar course.
(2007)Abstract not available. -
Cameroonian teachers' perceptions of culture, education, and mathematics.
(2005)This study is a critical ethnography of Cameroonian secondary school teachers, with the purpose of generating understandings of Cameroonian teachers' perceptions of and meanings for culture, education, and mathematics and ... -
The clearings of authentic learning in mathematics.
(2004)This study is a hermeneutical phenomenological qualitative investigation of authenticity in mathematics learning. In the applicable literature the uses of the words "authentic" and "authenticity" are found to be problematic. ... -
College in the High School: An Alternative Remediation Model
(2018-12)Students entering post-secondary education in the United States are required to enroll in remedial mathematics courses at alarming rates (Chen, 2016), and only 1 in 4 complete these required courses that act as “gatekeeper” ... -
A comparison of traditional and reform styles in teaching applied calculus.
(1998)This study compared the use of reform methods in the teaching of applied calculus at a large comprehensive public university during the Spring 1997 semester. Fifty-nine students, mostly freshmen and sophomores enrolled in ... -
A comparison study between a traditional and experimental first year linear algebra program.
(2001)The traditional section was in lecture format whereas the experimental section was in mostly discovery format; Students in the experimental group discovered definitions of basic abstract concepts mostly through visual-based ... -
Conceptual understanding in a computer-assisted Algebra 1 classroom.
(2005)Over the last several decades, technology has had a tremendous impact on all parts of our society. In education the calculator in the 1970's, the computer in the 1980's and the World Wide Web of the 1990's have bombarded ... -
Constructing graphs to meet specified conditions: A generalizability study.
(2000)This study investigated differences in problems involving graphical representations of functions. Specifically, problems requiring students to answer questions about a given graph were compared with problems requiring ... -
Creating spaces for learning in the mathematics classroom: A phenomenological study of pre-service teachers.
(2005)The Pirie-Kieren model for the dynamical growth of mathematical understanding and Brent Davis' mathematical mentalities were used as inquiry guides for this study. The work of Pirie and Kieren offered a way to engage ... -
A critical exploration of developmental mathematics students' conceptions of the role of mathematics in society.
(2000)Analysis of the data was based primarily upon Skovsmose' theory of critical mathematics education and Mezirow's theory of perspective transformation. Two major divisions in the findings were developed. These two divisions ... -
E-mentoring: A case study of the viability and benefits of electronic mentoring with beginning teachers in rural schools.
(2002)E-mentoring was designed to help early career teachers make the transition from student to teacher, particularly those in a rural setting. By using on-line mentoring with a group of former classmates and acquaintances the ... -
The effect of a cognitive style mapping program on achievement of community college students with internal locus of control and external locus of control.
(1982)One of the current trends in education is to provide instruction that will lead to successful learning experiences for each learner. Research has shown that both cognitive styles and locus of control are constructs of ... -
The effect of cognitive style on the acquisition of mathematical concepts presented through emphasis on positive and negative instances.
(1981)Purpose. The purpose of this study was to examine the interaction between the field-independent/field-dependent cognitive styles and the use of positive-negative instances on the acquisition of "real-world" classroom ... -
The effect of test-like events during mathematics lecture /
(The University of Oklahoma., 1985)Conclusions. The results of this study support the view that a treatment consisting of more than one type of test-like events may be the best overall strategy for a Calculus I lecture. However, the long-term effect on ... -
The effect of the use of the calculator on mathematics anxiety in college algebra students.
(1980)The problem of reducing mathematics anxiety in students needs further attention. The need exists for methods to alleviate anxiety that can be used in the classroom by the instructor. This study of the effect of the calculator ... -
The effect of varying proportions of positive and negative instances on student misinterpretation of statistical hypothesis testing.
(1980)A 2 x 2 factorial ANOVA unweighted means analysis was used to sense overall mean differences. Then, the Aspin-Welch version of Tukey's test was used to detect mean differences in all possible pair-wise comparisons among ... -
The effects of learning "C" programming on college students' mathematics skill.
(2002)This study evolved from an attempt to determine the effects that learning computer programming has on the development of certain mathematics skills in undergraduate college students. An observational study was set up in ...
