Hamid Mohammed Nadir – ProQuest LLC, 2021
There is an increased interest in integrating engineering design into K-12 classrooms because it equips students to solve real-world problems. However, before students are introduced to real-world problems, K-12 teachers may need to develop inquiry pedagogies and establish a learning context that supports student problem-solving. This study…

Richardson, Deidre C. – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Recent data from a cross-national assessment, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), place the United States performance in mathematics at 38 out of 71 countries (OECD, 2016)--one clear indication of the ongoing need for the improvement of mathematics education. This improvement relies, in part, on improving undergraduate…

Liston, Janet Marie Strang – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Within the social nature of teaching and learning mathematics, language can be viewed as the principal resource for making meaning in the classroom. However, research has shown that facilitating classroom discourse can be a key challenge for prospective teachers. In response to this concern, my dissertation offers case studies of three secondary…

Turner, Vanshelle E. – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Learning mathematics is problematic for most primary school age children because mathematics is rote and the memorization of steps rather than an approach to seeing relationships that builds inquiry and understanding. Therefore, the traditional "algorithmic" way of teaching mathematics has not fully prepared students to be critical…
