Characterizing and Understanding Semiotic Representations in Combinatorics Problems

Creator:: De Chenne, Adaline E.
Abstract:: Combinatorics is a field of mathematics that concerns enumeration and existence, and its most notable applications are in computer science and statistics. Most students are introduced to combinatorics through counting problems, where they are tasked with determining the cardinality of a set of outcomes. Such problems are well-known for being...

Creating Community: A Case Study of Students’ Experiences in Inquiry-Based Learning

Creator:: Schaub, Branwen
Abstract:: We now have broad consensus in the mathematics education research community that active, inquiry-based classrooms provide a wealth of learning benefits for students (Freeman et al., 2014; Laursen et al., 2014; Theobald et al., 2020). Classrooms that utilize inquiry throughout the entire structure of the course, as opposed to the...

Teaching Mathematics to International Students in Higher Education

Creator:: Valenciano, Julissa C.
Abstract:: Institutions of higher education have experienced a rapid increase in international student enrollment within a short period of time, especially in mathematics classrooms. It is therefore important for instructors to have the knowledge and skills to support international students in the learning of mathematics. There are few research studies of...

Mathematics Graduate Student Instructors as a Complex System

Creator:: Gibbons, Claire J.
Abstract:: Mathematics Graduate Student Instructors (GSIs) have a significant impact on the teaching and learning of mathematics in post-secondary contexts through their work as instructors of record, tutors, graders, and recitation, laboratory, or discussion leaders for mathematics courses. Perhaps more importantly, GSIs are future teachers of mathematics: more than 60 percent...

The Role of Formulas in Students' Solution Strategies in regard to Combinatorics

Creator:: Gordon, Cheyenne M.
Abstract:: There are many reasons toward why students withhold such negative mindsets toward the subject of mathematics. This thesis builds upon previously conducted research concerning affect and confidence in mathematical problem solving, confidence that students exhibit about themselves, and combinatorial thinking and activity.
Resource Type:: Honors College Thesis

A voice from the classroom : an autoethnographic study of a mathematics teacher's development to teacher leader

Creator:: Knapp, Melinda
Abstract:: The focus of this autoethnography was an in-depth analysis of the recorded experiences of a middle school math teacher's transitional development from classroom teacher, to teacher leader. The following research questions guided this study: (1) In what ways did the researcher’s view of self as a teacher leader change during...

The local conservation laws of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Creator:: Barrett, Johnner
Abstract:: The nonlinear Schrödinger equation is a well-known partial differential equation that provides a successful model in nonlinear optic theory, as well as other applications. In this dissertation, following a survey of mathematical literature, the geometric theory of differential equations is applied to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The main result of...

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...

Middle school mathematics teachers' subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge of probability : its relationship to probability instruction

Creator:: Swenson, Karen A.
Abstract:: As a result of the calls for reform in mathematics education and the ever-changing nature of mathematics, today's teachers face the challenge of teaching unfamiliar content in ways that are equally unfamiliar. In view of this challenge, the purpose of this study was to investigate middle school teachers' subject matter...

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...
