Collegiate student's epistemologies and conceptual understanding of the role of models in precalculus mathematics : a focus on the exponential and logarithmic functions

Creator:: Melendy, Robert F.
Abstract:: Collegiate student's conceptual distinctions of what define a mathematical and a physical model seems to be affected by the epistemological beliefs they hold about this knowledge. These beliefs seem to influence student's thinking and reasoning as they embark on problem solving activities in collegiate mathematics. Student's epistemological beliefs of mathematical...

The Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching of First Year Mathematics Graduate Teaching Assistants : The Case of Exponential Functions

Creator:: Keeling, Matthew
Abstract:: A teacher's mathematical knowledge for teaching has been shown to have a positive correlation with their students' success (Monk, 1994). So, when half of the students that start out in a STEM major switch out to a non-STEM major before graduation to in large part to instructors pedagogical methods and...

College algebra students' understanding and algebraic thinking and reasoning with functions

Creator:: Nilklad, Lakana
Abstract:: 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 students from one college algebra recitation class participated in the study to access their understanding of functions. Five out of 24 volunteer...

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,...

Variations of Mathematics in College Algebra Instruction : An Investigation Through the Lenses of Three Observation Protocols

Creator:: Gibbons, Claire J.
Abstract:: College Algebra is a prerequisite for calculus and is thus an important stepping stone in the careers of STEM-intending undergraduates. However, College Algebra has low pass rates across the United States, interrupting students’ pathways to success. To address this concern, a research-oriented university in the Northwest United States restructured its...

A comparison of three methods of teaching college chemistry

Creator:: Marcy, Douglas Eugene
Abstract:: Problem: To compare the effectiveness of three different methods of teaching chemistry at a community college. Procedure: Three classes of college chemistry were taught using the traditional lecture-discussion with a typical text, a lecture-discussion using a programed text, and an individualized self-paced method. The self-paced course was designed to allow...
