Irma E. Stevens – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Researchers have recommended using tasks that support students in reasoning covariationally to build productive meanings for graphs, rates of change, exponential growth, and more. However, not many recent studies have been done to identify how students reason when engaging in covariational reasoning tasks in undergraduate precalculus courses. In…

Greene, M.; von Renesse, C. – PRIMUS, 2017
This paper aims to illustrate a design cycle of inquiry-based mathematics activities. We highlight a series of questions that we use when creating inquiry-based materials, testing and evaluating those materials, and revising the materials following this evaluation. These questions highlight the many decisions necessary to find just the right tasks…

Gadanidis, George; Cendros, Rosa; Floyd, Lisa; Namukasa, Immaculate – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2017
As computational thinking (CT) is increasing in focus in K-12 education, it is important to consider how teacher education programs may better prepare teacher candidates (TCs). Previous studies have found that TCs do not always have a firm understanding of what CT involves, and they might not have clear ideas about how to develop CT in their…
