Quantitative Study of Math Excel Calculus Courses

Creator:: Watkins, Christopher H.
Abstract:: About twenty years ago, a large, rural, doctoral granting institution with an undergraduate population of approximately 24,000 in the pacific northwest of the United States established the Math Excel program. Students would attend lectures three times a week for 50 minutes like a traditional course, and they would also attend...

Graphing calculators in college calculus : an examination of teachers' conceptions and instructional practice

Creator:: Barton, Susan Dale
Abstract:: The study examined classroom instructional practices and teacher's professed conceptions about teaching and learning college calculus in relationship to the implementation of scientific-programmable-graphics (SPG) calculators. The study occurred at a university not affiliated with any reform project. The participants were not the catalysts seeking to implement calculus reform, but expressed...

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...

Concurrent remediation for inadequate preparation for the calculus

Creator:: Hunt, Howard C.
Abstract:: This investigation was designed to determine whether a remediation program concurrent to enrollment in the Calculus could be used to reveal and remedy student deficiencies involving pre-calculus topics, promoting a greater degree of success in the Calculus. The instructional model for the program that was investigated consisted of pretesting the...

Some effects of grouping by subject matter major on student performance in college calculus

Creator:: Steffani, Ronald R.
Abstract:: This investigation was designed to determine the general achievement, ability to solve applied problems, and attitude toward the role of mathematics in science of college calculus students grouped in an experimental class according to academic major during their first three terms. The subgroups were biology-business, mathematics, and science-engineering majors. The...

Teachers' perceptions of the concept of limit, the role of limits and the teaching of limits in advanced placement calculus

Creator:: Simonsen, Linda M.
Abstract:: The main goal of the study was to investigate high school advanced placement calculus teachers' subject matter and pedagogical perceptions by examining the following questions: What are the teachers' perceptions of the concept of limit, the role of limits, and the teaching of limits in calculus? Additionally, the sampling technique...

The evolution of student understanding of the concept of derivative

Creator:: Zandieh, Michelle J.
Abstract:: This research seeks to answer the question, "What does it mean for a student to understand the concept of derivative?" A structured way to describe an individual student's understanding of derivative is developed and applied to analyzing the evolution of that understanding for each of nine high school seniors during...

Building concept images--supercalculators and students' use of multiple representations in calculus

Creator:: Hart, Dianne K.
Abstract:: This study investigated how the use of supercalculators (HP 28S and HP 48SX) affects students' conceptual understanding of differential and integral calculus. Students (n = 324) from 12 institutions throughout the United States studied an experimental curriculum emphasizing multiple representations (symbolic, numerical, graphical). (The curriculum was developed through the Oregon...

Uncovering the Complexity of STEM Faculty Perceptions About Successful Students, and Their Teaching Strategies that Support Them

Creator:: Lenhart, Cindy A., Bouwma-Gearhart, Jana, and Ewing, Benjamin
Abstract:: Multiple factors are known to influence student success in higher education. Barriers to postsecondary success for underrepresented STEM students are numerous and well documented. We detail an exploratory study of STEM faculty notions of successful students and the instructional practices they employ to cultivate student success. We use a conceptual...

STEM Faculty Instructional Data-Use Practices: Informing Teaching Practice and Students' Reflection On Students' Learning

Creator:: Lenhart, Cindy A. and Bouwma-Gearhart, Jana
Abstract:: This paper explores the affordances and constraints of STEM faculty members' instructional data-use practices and how they engage students (or not) in reflection around their own learning data. We found faculty used a wide variety of instructional data-use practices. We also found several constraints that influenced their instructional data-use practices,...
