The knowledge base and instructional practices of two highly qualified experienced secondary mathematics teachers

Creator:: Beauchman, Molly Laverne Taylor
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to investigate the knowledge base and instructional practices of two highly qualified experienced secondary mathematics teachers within the context of their classrooms during a unit in a geometry class. Data collected from interviews, classroom observations, pre and post-observation questionnaires, and detailed analyses of several...

A Korean elementary teacher's beliefs about teaching and learning and its impact on interactions and norms in mathematics classroom

Creator:: Cho, Cheong-soo
Abstract:: This study described how and why a Korean elementary teacher taught mathematics as he did. Specifically, the study sought to describe his beliefs about the teaching and learning of mathematics and relate them to patterns of classroom interaction and norms. An ethnographic inquiry guided the study of one third grade...

Student understanding of functions and the use of the graphing calculator in a college algebra course

Creator:: Averbeck, Patrick J.
Abstract:: The purpose of the study was to investigate students' learning of the function concept and the role of the graphing calculator in a College Algebra course. Differences between students with high symbolic manipulation skills. and students with low symbolic manipulation skills were also examined. On the basis of an algebraic...

The heuristics college students use and the difficulties they encounter solving conditional probability problems : a case study analysis

Creator:: Bamberger, Mary E.
Abstract:: The purpose of this descriptive case study analysis was to provide portraits of the heuristics students used and difficulties they encountered solving conditional probability problems prior to and after two-week instruction on sample space, probability, and conditional probability. Further analysis consisted of evaluating the data in relation to a previously...

Determination of the Filippov solutions of the nonlinear oscillator with dry friction

Creator:: Moreland, Heather L.
Abstract:: In previous papers by Awrejcewicz in 1986 and Narayanan and Jayaraman in 1991, it was claimed that the nonlinear oscillator with dry friction exhibited chaos for several forcing frequencies. The chaos determination was achieved using the characteristic exponent of Lyapunov which requires the right-hand side of the differential equation to...

Thai preservice middle school mathematics teachers' subject matter knowledge and knowledge of students' conceptions of division of rational numbers with respect to their classroom practices

Creator:: Singmuang, Charuwan
Abstract:: The study investigated the impact of Thai preservice middle school mathematics teachers' knowledge of subject matter and of students' conceptions of division of rational numbers with respect to their classroom practices in a teaching environment controlled by a required national curriculum. Four preservice teachers were selected with different knowledge of...

The language of mathematics : a functional definition and the development of an instrument of measure teacher perceived self-efficacy

Creator:: Gray, Virginia
Abstract:: Mathematics is permeated with language; it appears in the form of new words and some old words with new meanings. There are new symbols to be able to read and consume; much information is presented in tabular or graphic form, and finally the language in a mathematics class has its...

The relationship of a problem-based calculus course and students' views of mathematical thinking

Creator:: Liu, Po-Hung
Abstract:: It has been held that heuristic training alone is not enough for developing one's mathematical thinking. One missing component is a mathematical point of view. Many educational researchers have proposed problem-based curricula to improve students' views of mathematical thinking. The present study reports findings regarding effects of a problem-based calculus...

Methods college students use to solve probability problems and the factors that support or impede their success

Creator:: Bamberger, Mary E.
Abstract:: The purpose of this descriptive case study analysis was to provide portraits of the methods college students used to solve probability problems and the factors that supported or impeded their success prior to and after two-week instruction on probability. Fourteen-question Pre- and Post-Instructional Task-Based Questionnaires provided verbal data of nine...
