Delahay, Anita; Lovett, Marsha; Anderson, David; Sen, Surajit – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
The preparation gap [Salehi et al., Phys. Rev. Phys. Educ. Res. 15, 020114 (2019)] refers to gaps in students' prior knowledge that can negatively affect their learning as they engage in introductory physics courses. To better characterize the gap, the current study distinguished the impact of various prior knowledge components on learning gains.…

Fei Gao; Rong Liu – Educational Technology & Society, 2025
This study examined the relationship of learner profiles and the satisfaction of basic psychological needs among 109 undergraduate physics students participating in an online algebra training program. The study utilized latent profile analysis to identify groups of learner profiles and explored the role of students' perceived needs satisfaction in…

Wang, Lu – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2021
Prior research showed a gender effect on spatial ability, math anxiety, and math achievement. Lacking, however, is a comprehensive study that tested the mediation effects of spatial ability and math anxiety between gender and math achievement in a sequential mediation model. To fill this gap, this pilot study tested two mediation relationships,…

Veith, Joaquin Marc; Girnat, Boris; Bitzenbauer, Philipp – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Recent research has boosted the inclusion of introductory group theory into secondary and undergraduate mathematics education due to manifold potentials, e.g., with regards to the promotion of students' abstract thinking. However, in addition to research on cognitive processes, learners' affective characteristics have largely remained unexplored…

Guidry, Krisandra – Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, 2020
This study examines whether the first exam grade in a managerial finance course is a significant predictor of a student's final course grade. Mathematical preparedness, measured by grades and number of times required to pass college algebra and business calculus, was also investigated. The data include observations from 214 students from a…

Tracie Lee Thornton – ProQuest LLC, 2022
To practice physical therapy, physical therapist assistants (PTAs) must graduate from an accredited program and pass the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE). There is a lack of evidence exploring the relationships between admission processes in PTA programs with no pre-requisites. The first purpose of this study was to determine whether…

Reinhard, Aaron; Felleson, Alex; Turner, Paula C.; Green, Maxwell – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
We studied the impact of metacognitive reflections on recently-completed work as a way to improve the retention of newly learned problem-solving techniques. Students video recorded themselves talking through problems immediately after finishing them, completed ongoing problem-solving strategy maps or problem-sorting exercises, and filled out…

Pentang, Jupeth T.; Ibañez, Edwin D.; Subia, Gener S.; Domingo, Jaynelle G.; Gamit, Analyn M.; Pascual, Lorinda E. – Online Submission, 2021
The study determined the problem-solving performance and skills of prospective elementary teachers (PETs) in the Northern Philippines. Specifically, it defined the PETs' level of problem-solving performance in number sense, measurement, geometry, algebra, and probability; significant predictors of their problem-solving performance in terms of sex,…

Feldman, Jill; Flynn, Jennifer; Dunderdale, Tara; Miyaoka, Atsushi; Finster, Matthew – Grantee Submission, 2020
The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to compare the effects of new developmental statistics-based courses to traditional algebra-based developmental courses. The study used extant data from eight institutions and a matched sample of 2,041 students (Treatment, N = 748; Comparison, N = 1,293). All students enrolled in a treatment or…

Simmons, Amber B.; Heckler, Andrew F. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Two set of studies were conducted to better understand grades and grading practices in physics courses, and how these might influence demographic representational disparities in physics. The first study investigates the relationships between grades and the student-level factors of standardized test scores, (binary) gender, underrepresented…

Atkins, Charlene – ProQuest LLC, 2016
Low success rates in developmental mathematics courses have caused a growing concern for many institutions including moderately selective four-year universities. As a result, institutions have adopted various course redesign models, such as the emporium and replacement models, which take advantage of interactive online learning tools. Though these…

Lee, Brooke – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Advisors use placement test scores as a means of predicting students' proficiency in mathematics; however, there is a debate about how accurately these scores predict students' success. This nonexperimental quantitative study focused on one test, the Texas Success Initiative (TSI). The purpose of the study was to determine whether the test is an…

Žujovic, Alisa Murphy – ProQuest LLC, 2018
The role of the community college is constantly evolving. At its inception in the early 1900's, the community college's broad focus was to provide quality, affordable education to the members of the community the college serves. Today, that focus remains the same, but has also morphed into one that meets the specific needs of its students. One of…

Cwik, Sonja; Singh, Chandralekha – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Student grades and motivational outcomes in introductory physics courses can influence their retention in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines and future career aspirations. We surveyed students in mandatory large introductory level algebra-based physics courses for bioscience majors at a large research university. The…
