Weinberg, Aaron; Wiesner, Emilie; Fukawa-Connelly, Tim – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2015
Although lecture is the traditional method of university mathematics instruction, there has been little empirical research that describes the structure of lectures. In this paper, we apply ideas from narrative analysis to an upper-level mathematics lecture. We develop a framework that enables us to conceptualize the lecture as consisting of…

Prodromou, Theodosia – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2013
This research study investigates how pre-service teachers integrate statistical content, students' thinking, and pedagogy as they examine how 11- to 12-year olds develop mathematically. The findings provide insights into: a) how pre-service teachers identify some of the difficulties that students commonly have, and b) what pedagogical approaches…

Krupa, Erin; Webel, Corey; McManus, Jason – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2013
We share results from a quasi-experimental study in which we compared achievement between traditional lecture-based and computer-based sections of college algebra on a common multiple choice exam as well as performance on problem solving items. Students in the computer-based group performed better on the final exam and were also more likely to…

Reinauer, Charles D. – 1979
Presented is an abstract of a study done to try to determine a set of variables which are capable of accounting for a significant amount of variation in algebra achievement in each of two instructional formats. Tables representing final grade distributions, initial comparison of groups, and comparability of volunteer subgroup variables are…

Durmus, Soner – Online Submission, 2001
More sophisticated graphing calculators available for college students can be incorporated into college algebra classes to result a higher student achievement. For this purpose, in this study 117 college students were randomly assigned into either experimental groups where students were allowed to the use of graphing calculators or control groups…

Nichols, Joe D.; Miller, Raymond B. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1994
Effects of cooperative group learning on students' motivation and achievement were studied for 62 high school students assigned to cooperative learning or traditional lecture groups. Greater gains were made in achievement, efficacy, valuing of algebra, and learning goal orientation for the cooperative-learning group. (SLD)
