Busrah, Zulfiqar; Pathuddin, Hikmawati – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2021
Ethnomathematics can empirically improve the cognitive abilities of students in elementary and secondary schools. However, in undergraduate study, there are still limited studies on integrating ethnomathematics in learning resources. This study aims to apply interpolation in modelling polynomial functions and integral volume on the shape of…

Ravi, M. S. – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2021
This article shows how the exciting new field of Machine Learning can be effectively introduced in a standard calculus sequence, once the students have been introduced to functions of several variables. This is an opportunity to engage students in a discussion of an application of calculus to an emerging field that the students encounter in their…

La Shannon Neru Hollinger – ProQuest LLC, 2021
This dissertation in practice (DIP), responsive evaluation (RE) explored relationships of the Faulkner Academic Math Excellence (FAME) Laboratory characteristics and specific perceptions of students enrolled in developmental mathematics education courses at a rural community college in Alabama's southeastern region. This program evaluation…

Amy Collins Montalbano – ProQuest LLC, 2021
The shift across developmental education from prerequisite to corequisite remediation has left students underprepared for college-level mathematics in need of additional support. Typically, this support takes the form of content remediation, but what happens when this extra help is reframed in terms of student learning skills and confidence?…

Almaz Mesghina; Guanglei Hong; Adelle Durrell – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
Past research has shown the benefit of cooperative learning in organizing instruction to promote students' engagement and achievement. However, it remains unclear whether students gain more from peers at relatively higher or similar levels of prior knowledge. Relatedly, it is important to distinguish collective performance from individual…

Leslie Harger – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Community college students who are juggling busy lives may be drawn to enroll in self-paced online courses. Shorter, eight-week versions of online courses are an option for these students instead of taking full sixteen-week versions. However, because eight-week courses cover the same amount of material in half the time, student success may be…

Aleksandar Milenkovic; Ðurdica Takaci; Radoslav Božic – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2024
In this paper, we describe the influence of the implementation of methodology for teaching and learning multiple integrals based on the constructivist approach and the interconnectedness of multiple representations (with an emphasis on dynamic representations) for different mathematical objects using GeoGebra's applications Graphing Calculator and…

Melissa Riley – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the adult students' perceptions of Game-Based Learning's mitigation of math anxiety in a STEM math course at a mid-sized university in Southeast Texas. The participants in this study included 11 students who identified as adult learners with math anxiety taught by the researcher in a STEM…

Ahmad, Shair – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2018
We have observed that over 90% of our students, both undergraduate and graduate, know little about the existence and multiplicity of real roots of real numbers; for example the fifth root of -2. Most of those who may know the answers are unable to give a logical explanation of the validity of their answers.

Tunstall, Samuel Luke – PRIMUS, 2018
Issues within college algebra are well-documented. Over the past two decades, reform has brought about significant modifications in the course, yet to date there has been no synthesis of the efficacy of these efforts. This paper situates college algebra within a historical context, and synthesizes research on reform. I argue that, notwithstanding…

Koyuncu, Mehmet Kasim – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
In this study, it was aimed to experiment a new method to increase the quality of the history of mathematics course instruction in the primary mathematics education. The method composed by synthesizing project-based and collaborative learning methods was named "Newspaper Preparation Method," and the course was delivered using this…

von Renesse, C.; Wegner, Sven A. – PRIMUS, 2023
In this paper, the authors discuss their experiences with ungrading at a small public university in the U.S. and a large public university in Germany. The courses described are Calculus 1 and a content course for pre-service secondary teachers of mathematics. The professors teach differently: one with lecture, the other with inquiry-based…

Amy Lawrence-Wallquist; Lucinda Ford; Mehmet Kirmizi; Cody Patterson – Journal of College Academic Support Programs, 2023
In 2003, the Texas State Legislature enacted the Texas Success Initiative (TSI). Upon entering a postsecondary institution, non-exempt students are tested using the TSI Assessment. A student's scores are used to assist Texas public institutions of higher education in determining if students are prepared for introductory college coursework in the…

Luque, Antoni; Mullinix, James; Anderson, Matt; Williams, Kathy S.; Bowers, Janet – PRIMUS, 2022
Governmental and educational organizations have pointed out that students coming into the biological sciences require stronger skills in statistics and data modeling that are not usually addressed in typical engineering-based calculus courses. Our work here documents how faculty in biology and mathematics addressed this issue at a large urban…
