Alternatively certified and traditionally certified secondary school mathematics teachers' student success on the Missouri Assessment Program
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-05-14)
Since the 1980s, alternative certification programs, with the goals of improving the
quality and quantity of teachers, have been preparing teachers through streamlined
coursework tailored to the individual teachers' ...
A Longitudinal study of modeling-based college algebra and its effect on student achievement
(2020)
Low success rates and high withdrawal rates in gateway courses like College Algebra have deterred some students from attaining their educational goals. The university of study developed a Modeling-Based College Algebra ...
Instruction Type and Student Major as they Relate to Student Success in College Level Developmental Mathematics Classes
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
The low success rate of developmental (or remedial) mathematics courses is a hot
topic at the higher education level. In this research, student success is considered in terms of
final grade, D/F percentage, and withdrawal ...
The Effects of Math Recovery on the Low-Performing Mathematics Student
(2012)
This study examined the effectiveness of the course, Math Recovery, on a group of ninth-grade students enrolled in the course Algebra/Geometry I measured by course grades and subsequent tenth-grade MAP scores. In addition, ...
Cohomology of Finite Modules over Short Gorenstein Rings
(2016)
We study two formal power series in the indeterminate t that generalize the
Poincar´e series of a module. In the context of a Gorenstein local ring whose maximal
ideal m satisfies m³ = 0, we prove that these two power ...
Impact of Mathematics Content Course Sequence on CBASE and Praxis II Scores of Elementary Teacher Candidates
(2014)
The focus of this study was to investigate the impact of the number of developmental
mathematics courses and the level of algebraic integration of general education mathematics
courses have on elementary teacher candidates’ ...
Mathematical problem-solving styles in the education of deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-12)
This study explored the mathematical problem-solving styles of middle school and
high school deaf and hard-of-hearing students and the mathematical problem-solving styles
of the mathematics teachers of middle school and ...
The effectiveness of redesigning college algebra with a heavy focus on instructional technology
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-09-28)
Low success rates in college algebra have been an ongoing problem, and mathematics education researchers have continually looked for ways to improve student performance and learning (Aichele, Francisco, Utley, & Wescoatt, ...
The role of the tribal elder in teaching calculus through an ethnomathematics lens
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-04-19)
In action research study I was the classroom teacher of high school-aged African American students participating in the six-week summer portion of the Reach Up program. The purpose of Reach Up is to help students improve ...
The Mathematics Emporium: Infusion of Instructional Technology into College Level Mathematics and Psychosocial Factors of Learning
(2016)
This manuscript-based (European style) dissertation consisted of three different, but conceptually related manuscripts. The series of manuscripts examined psychosocial factors of learning including attitude towards ...
Comparing Multiple Measure Placement Models in Mathematics
(2020)
Accurate placement into an initial college mathematics course is a key step toward the successful completion of college mathematics and, eventually, a college degree. Conversely, misplacement in mathematics may lead to a ...
A Mathematical Modelling Approach to Analyze the Dynamics of Math Anxiety
(2022)
The main objective of this study is to develop a mathematical modeling framework for a deeper understanding of dynamics of math anxiety as a contagious process. Borrowing from theories of the spread of infectious disease, ...
The Effects of Teachers' Mathematical Practices on Student Achievement in the Diverse Classroom
(2023)
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) vision for mathematics education is to provide every student with high-quality instruction from highly effective teachers. Achieving this goal requires a solid mathematics ...
