Fluck, Andrew; Ranmuthugala, Dev; Chin, Chris; Penesis, Irene – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2012
Integral calculus is generally regarded as a fundamental but advanced aspect of mathematics, and it is not generally studied until students are aged about fifteen or older. Understanding the transformative potential of information and communication technology, this project undertook an investigation in four Australian schools to train students…

Connelly Stockton, Julianna; Gregory, Peter – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2012
A group of six math instructors used tablet PCs to teach their individual sections of a high enrollment gateway Pre-Calculus course in a diverse urban four-year college. Student performance in the experimental sections were compared to those in 31 other sections in terms of student retention, pass rates, and score on the department-wide…

Morais, Adolfo; Barragués, José Ignacio; Guisasola, Jenaro – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2015
This work describes the design and evaluation of a proposal to use Classroom Response Systems (CRS), intended to promote participative classes of Mathematics at University. The proposal is based on Problem Based Learnig (PBL) and uses Robert's six hypotheses for mathematical teaching-learning. The results show that PBL is a relevant strategy to…

Chua, Boon-Liang; Wu, Yingkang – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2005
To integrate technology into mathematics teaching and learning effectively, teachers could create a technology-based learning environment that provides students with opportunities to experience the process of mathematical investigation. These opportunities range from exploring using mathematical ideas to making and testing conjectures, as well as…

Armstrong, Gerald M.; Hendrix, Lee J. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1999
Compares student achievement based upon which calculus program--traditional calculus, Harvard Consortium Calculus, or Calculus Using Mathematica--the student completed. Finds some differences when students took different types of calculus during subsequent terms. Justifies teaching reformed calculus in place of traditional calculus. (Author/ASK)

Meel, David E. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1999
Discusses dialogue journal writing and its incorporation into a college-level Calculus 1 course. Identifies how: (a) e-mail dialogue journals provided a viable means of individualized, continual contact with students in a large class; (b) students benefited from asking questions and receiving timely explanations; and (c) the instructor received…

Stroup, Walter M. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2005
A critical issue related to the use of simulation environments in school-based learning is the relationship between the use of these environments and the structure of traditional curricula. Teachers are often caught in the bind of attempting to address significantly raised standards for what all students should know, yet receiving very little…

Judson, Phoebe T. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1991
Described is a weekly computer algebra laboratory course for Calculus I students during the 10-week spring semester, 1990, at Trinity University. Advice on the establishment and management of this type of laboratory including descriptions of student participation trends and student reactions is presented. (JJK)
