A study on student perceptions of principles of logic and their application to the principle of mathematical induction

Creator:: Boone, Allan R.
Abstract:: The purpose of this article is to explore student reasoning with regard to problems in logic, particularly those related to the Principle of Mathematical Induction (PMI). The five case studies presented build off of work done by other researchers, most notably Dubinsky and Harel, who both looked at how students'...

A model to identify performance standards for mathematics in a two year post high school occupational program

Creator:: Howlett, John Leo
Abstract:: PURPOSE OF THE STUDY This study developed a model which identified mathematical needs in various vocational technical programs. This model provides a method which can be used to develop an adequate mathematics curriculum to support occupational offerings at community college/technical institutes, and can also help high schools and the colleges/technical...

Effects of selected mathematical computer games on achievement and attitude toward mathematics in university entry-level algebra

Creator:: Moore, Margaret L.
Abstract:: Two mathematical computer games, POE and EQUATIONS, were used to test the effects of games as learning aids in a university entry-level intermediate algebra course. Specifically, this study investigated whether use of these games would significantly increase student achievement in the course and improve student attitude toward mathematics. EQUATIONS is...

The influence of applied mathematics problems on the achievement and attitude of community college vocational students

Creator:: Swearingen, Dell L.
Abstract:: Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this study was to analyze, in the mathematics classrooms, career-oriented verbal mathematics problems on the achievement and attitude of the vocational mathematics student. These career-oriented mathematics problems, used as advanced organizers, were contrasted with mathematics word problems of a more abstract and generalized...

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,...

Students' transfer of learning of eigenvalues and eigenvectors : Implementation of actor-oriented transfer framework

Creator:: Karakok, Gulden
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to investigate third year college students' transfer of learning of the concepts of eigenvalues and eigenvectors from the winter term physics courses to the interviews in which they participated before, during, and after these courses. Transfer of learning of each student was explored by...

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...

Transfer and meta-cognitive intervention in conceptually non-isomorphic linear algebra problem settings

Creator:: Burger, Lance D.
Abstract:: This dissertation arose out of an awareness of difficulties undergraduate linear algebra students encounter when solving linear algebra problems from novel, non-isomorphic settings, even when the problems could be solved with matrix representations and similar procedures as problems from a more familiar setting. This mixed-methods study utilized both traditional and...

College Instructor Preparation : Enough to Feel Comfortable?

Creator:: Fleming, Eric
Abstract:: Over several decades, much attention has been paid to the preparation of K-12 teachers. More recently, the body of literature on graduate teaching assistants' preparation for teaching has begun to increase. Since many graduate teaching assistants are hired as community college and university instructors, it is important to understand how...
