In recent years, the usefulness of affect detection for educational software has become clear. Accurate detection of student affect can support a wide range of interventions with the potential to improve student affect, increase engagement, and improve learning. In addition, accurate detection of student affect could play an essential role in…

Polynomial loglinear models for one-, two-, and higher-way contingency tables have important applications to measurement and assessment. They are essentially regarded as a smoothing technique, which is commonly referred to as loglinear smoothing. A SAS IML (SAS Institute, 2002a) macro was created to implement loglinear smoothing according to…

Each of the ten chapters in this volume is intended to present an objective analysis of the trends of some important subtopic in mathematics education and each includes a bibliography for fuller study. The chapters cover primary school mathematics, algebra, geometry, probability and statistics, analysis, logic, applications of mathematics, methods…

Presented is a description of the experimental first-year algebra materials "Algebra Through Applications"; a description of the procedure used in evaluating these materials; and recommendations for changes in the materials, implementation, evaluation, and funding. The evaluation indicates that these materials can be effectively used in a variety…

Presented are review questions and exercises for several mathematics topics. The first five sections cover the following major topics of the course: algebra, geometry, logic, probability, and statistics. Each of these five units follows a similar format. Each major topic is broken into several subtopics, with examples for each topic taken from…

The changing role of mathematics in society may require a different mathematics curriculum in the schools. Curriculum builders work constructing pieces of the new mathematics curriculum. To last, this new curriculum must be based on a foundation of experience and research. This book provides access to that foundation for secondary schools and…
