The purpose of study was to investigate college algebra students' understanding of function concepts. In addition, their solution strategies and algebraic thinking and reasoning were explored. Twenty-four volunteer stude ...

The purpose of this study was to develop a valid and reliable instrument to determine cognitive domain status of preservice and inservice elementary teachers in the operation of division with rational numbers in the c ...

Experimental game theory is the use of game theoretic abstractions—games, players, and strategies—in experiments and simulations. It is often used in cases where traditional, analytical game theory fails or is difficult ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of frequent versus conventional testing on Chemistry achievement test anxiety, and attitudes toward science of students enrolled in general chemistry classes at ...

The purpose of this study was to examine whether teaching materials designed around fourth graders' preconceptions effectively produced conceptual change about light propagation. Four Taiwanese fourth-grade intact clas ...

This thesis presents a progression of novel planning algorithms that culminates in a new family of diverse Monte-Carlo methods for probabilistic planning domains. We provide a proof for performance guarantees and analyz ...

The focus of this grounded theory research was to investigate the problems that those groups closest to students placed in mathematics classes by mathematics ability have and how those parties work to resolve the problem ...

The goal of many machine learning problems can be formalized as the creation of a function that can properly classify an input vector, given a set of examples of that function. While this formalism has produced a number ...

The movement to reform mathematics teaching and learning in schools began in the 1980s. After dedicating vast resources to support reform efforts since then, the transition to improve mathematics teaching and learning i ...

Measurements of social constructs that evaluate natural hazard preparedness are important to decrease natural hazard vulnerability. Preparedness reduces natural hazard impacts and human vulnerability. Investment in educa ...
