Burn, Helen Elizabeth; Thrill, Chauntee; Wood, J. Luke; Zamani-Gallaher, Eboni; Mesa, Vilma – Community College Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
This article describes the content validation of the Transitioning Learners to Calculus in Community Colleges Institutional Self-Assessment Tool. The instrument comprises five content areas, each with an associated set of items representing practices to promote the success of underrepresented racially minoritized (URM) students as they transition…

Mesa, Vilma; White, Nina J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
We investigate aspects of reform enacted in 66 class observations from 18 institutions collected as part of the National Study of University Calculus in the US. We examined four aspects related to how problems were solved in class: the extent of student involvement, the representations and technology used, and specific features of the problems…

Mesa, Vilma; Shultz, Mollee; Jackson, Ashley – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2020
This study describes how nine university professors managed their teaching when a shift from lecturing to inquiry-based learning was mandated in a large enrollment course, linear algebra for math majors. We describe the tensions that emerged and how they were resolved, in part via the production of worksheets that were used in teaching. We…

Mesa, Vilma; Mali, Angeliki – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2020
We reflect on the evolution of an instrument designed to gather data about student actions with dynamic textbooks in university mathematics in a large-scale project. We also discuss the evolution of our understanding of the mediating role of this instrument in gathering data remotely that allow us to access student use and reconstruct their…

Lande, Elaine; Mesa, Vilma – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2016
We investigate the rationale for instructional decisions proposed by two groups of community college mathematics faculty (full-time and part-time), as they discussed animations of trigonometry classes that breached several classroom norms. Although both groups of faculty justify their decisions in similar ways, the way in which they talk differs.…
