This study explores calculus students' opportunities to learn the concepts of integral by examining one mathematician's videotaped lessons and the textbook. Results show that both lessons and the textbook introduce important cognitive resources briefly and focus on other units of knowledge. Implications to these results are also discussed.

Patel, Rita Manubhai; McCombs, Paul; Zollman, Alan – School Science and Mathematics, 2014
Novice students have difficulty with the topic of limits in calculus. We believe this is in part because of the multiple perspectives and shifting metaphors available to solve items correctly. We investigated college calculus instructors' personal concepts of limits. Based upon previous research investigating introductory calculus student…

Corbishley, Jeffrey B.; Truxaw, Mary P. – School Science and Mathematics, 2010
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has set ambitious goals for the teaching and learning of mathematics that include preparing students for both the workplace and higher education. While this suggests that it is important for students to develop strong mathematical competencies by the end of high school, there is evidence to indicate…

Flick, Lawrence B.; Sadri, Pejmon; Morrell, Patricia D.; Wainwright, Camille; Schepige, Adele – School Science and Mathematics, 2009
Researchers observed 28 university faculty in graduate and undergraduate science and mathematics courses in a three-year, longitudinal study of teaching. Subjects were selected from five higher education institutions in the state where faculty had a two- to five-year association with a reform-based NSF professional development program. Observer…

Peer reviewedWainwright, Camille; Flick, Larry; Morrell, Patricia D.; Schepige, Adele – School Science and Mathematics, 2004
This paper reports on initial results from an ongoing evaluation study of a National Science Foundation project to implement reform-oriented teaching practices in college science and mathematics courses. The purpose of this study was to determine what elements of reform teaching are being utilized by college faculty members teaching undergraduate…

McDuffie, Amy Roth; Graeber, Anna O. – School Science and Mathematics, 2003
This case study was an investigation of the role of the institutional culture of a university in the process of changing to reform-based practices for two college mathematics professors. A framework is presented for identifying and analyzing institutional norms and policies that are present and those lacking in supporting faculty efforts toward…
