  • Simulating dynein’s powerstroke using Brownian dynamics

    Creator:
    Capek, Elliott L.
    Abstract:
    Dynein is a motor protein which transports cargo along tracks inside the cell. Like related motor proteins kinesin and myosin, dynein uses cellular energy to take steps with its two foot domains. Unlike kinesin or myosin, dynein’s stepping pattern is highly varied: it can take steps between zero and 60nm...

  • Mathematical knowledge for teaching proof

    Creator:
    Lesseig, Kristin
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to detail mathematical knowledge that supports the work of teaching proof and to investigate how such knowledge is evidenced in professional development (PD). To advance the construct of mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) in the context of proof, I developed a framework of MKT...

  • Connecting computational thinking and mathematics: an examination of linguistic opportunities and challenges

    Creator:
    Glickman, Abbie A.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, I used a linguistic lens of translanguaging and semiotics to examine how K-12 mathematics teacher candidates (TCs) create meaning around computer science (CS) and mathematics concepts in a computational thinking (CT) setting. I defined the term “disciplinary repertoire” as a mirror to the concept of a linguistic...

  • Teacher Candidates' Noticing of Instructional Features in the Context of an Ambitious Mathematics Teacher Education Program

    Creator:
    Maluangnont, Sasiwan
    Abstract:
    Teacher noticing is a necessary skill in order for teachers to elicit and respond to their students' mathematical ideas and support the ambitious learning goals of school mathematics. The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate what teacher candidates noticed about their teaching as they were provided supports and opportunities...

  • Responsive pedagogies of practice : Researching an ambitious secondary mathematics teacher education design

    Creator:
    Campbell, Matthew Paul, 1983-
    Abstract:
    Design in secondary mathematics teacher education must prepare teacher candidates to do the work of ambitious and equitable mathematics teaching with skill by situating development in the work of teaching and incorporating opportunities to investigate and enact teaching. Teacher education designs must also be responsive to the work that mathematics...

  • What Do We Mean by "Justice"?: An Examination of How Justice is Conceptualized in K-12 Mathematics Education

    Creator:
    Brunner, Megan E.
    Abstract:
    Issues of injustice in society (e.g. racism, classism, sexism, ableism) are perpetuated in and through educational opportunities, including mathematics learning (Freire, 1970/2000). Those that are committed to disrupting the interlocking systems that create disparities and oppression in mathematics education are considered to be “pursuing justice.” Pursuit of justice can involve...

  • Learning about the Standards for Mathematical Practice: An Investigation of Opportunities within Two Teacher Education Contexts

    Creator:
    Stoddard, Elyssa R.
    Abstract:
    The Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs) describe ways of thinking and doing mathematics that parallels how mathematicians engage with mathematics (National Governors Association for Best Practices, 2010). These standards reflect a broader goal in K-12 mathematics education focused on moving beyond K-12 learners acquiring knowledge of mathematical...

  • An Exploratory Study of Mathematics Disciplinary Practices in Advanced Mathematics

    Creator:
    Glover, Erin D.
    Abstract:
    Policy and research have increased attention in K12 mathematics education on core mathematical practices such as argumentation, justification, and proof, that are central to students learning and doing mathematics. One reason for this increased focus is the empirical evidence that engaging students in mathematical practices provide more equitable opportunities for...

  • The synthesis and electrocyclization of some linear and cross-conjugated hexatrienes

    Creator:
    Hilton, Charles Bruce
    Abstract:
    As part of the continuing investigation of the thermal cis- 1, 3, 5-hexatriene to 1,3-cyclohexadiene rearrangement, four new trienes and a cross-conjugated pentaene have been prepared and their thermal reactions studied. A new route to the synthesis of highly substituted trienes has been developed. The synthesis of three of these...
