Michael Wang – ProQuest LLC, 2023
College algebra is regarded as a gatekeeper course for attaining degrees, higher paying jobs, and overall individual empowerment. Educational stakeholders have reconsidered alternative instructional approaches such as computer-assisted instruction (CAI) to curb high failure rates and increase retention rates among college algebra students. One…

Lahcen, Rachid Ait Maalem; Mohapatra, Ram – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2020
Requiring that students enrolled in college algebra to spend hours in a computer lab has been a practice in colleges and universities to improve success and retention. In part, because students come with different backgrounds, skills, and the computer lab environment allows for personalized supplemental instruction and tutoring. However, the way…

Boyce, Steven; O'Halloran, Joyce – PRIMUS, 2020
We describe the process of adjusting the balance between computer-based learning and peer interaction in a college algebra course. In our first experimental class, students used the adaptive-learning program ALEKS within an emporium-style format. Comparing student performance in the emporium format class with that in a traditional lecture format…

Johnson, Heather Lynn; Gardner, Amber; Smith, Amy; Olson, Gary; Wang, Xin – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
Opportunities matter when it comes to students' math attitudes and performance. Over two semesters, across treatment sections of college algebra students, we implemented a set of dynamic computer activities linking animations and graphs. Across all sections, we administered a fully online survey of students' attitudes toward math. Using mixed…

Caglayan, Günhan – Computers in the Schools, 2018
The purpose of this research study was to understand how mathematics majors make sense of similar matrices, a linear algebra topic that is rich in internal and external connections, in a series of in-depth qualitative interviews in a technology-assisted (MATLAB) learning environment. The study was also an attempt to develop a cognitive theory in…

Mikula, Brendon D.; Heckler, Andrew F. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2017
We propose a framework for improving accuracy, fluency, and retention of basic skills essential for solving problems relevant to STEM introductory courses, and implement the framework for the case of basic vector math skills over several semesters in an introductory physics course. Using an iterative development process, the framework begins with…

Deshler, Jessica; Fuller, Edgar – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2016
Approximately 30% of students entering West Virginia University (WVU) are not ready for college mathematics. The WVU Department of Mathematics has been tasked with remediating these students and has worked over the last decade to find the most efficient way to teach the Pre-College Algebra Workshop; the prerequisite course students must complete…

Garzón, Juan; Bautista, Julián – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
Learning and teaching algebra concepts are frequent problems for both students and teachers alike. Students struggle to learn algebra, and teachers struggle to identify the best way to teach algebra. It is recurrent that teachers use instructional methods that promote memorization, and, consequently, the learning process may prove unsatisfactory.…

Stuve, Claire – ProQuest LLC, 2015
Low levels of student success in introductory college math courses are rampant. There are several reasons for low pass rates in these courses, with the most serious issue being lack of concept mastery. To aid students in concept mastery, adaptive learning systems were created. These systems adapt instruction for each student and create an…

Hodges, Charles B.; Kim, ChanMin – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2013
This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of a treatment designed to improve college algebra students' attitudes toward mathematics. Keller's ARCS motivational design model was used as a guiding framework for the development of a motivational video, which was delivered online. The application of motivational design to improve…

Meagher, Michael – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2012
The research presented here is a group case study of students learning calculus in a Computer Algebra System (CAS) environment which examines the following research questions: What are students' perceptions of the role of technology in their learning? What is the students' relationship to CAS? What is the effect of learning in a CAS environment on…

Brunstein, Angela; Betts, Shawn; Anderson, John R. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2009
Two experiments were conducted, contrasting a minimally guided discovery condition with a variety of instructional conditions. College students interacted with a computer-based tutor that presented algebra-like problems in a novel graphical representation. Although the tutor provided no instruction in a discovery condition, it constrained the…

Maat, Siti Mistima; Zakaria, Effandi – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2011
Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are one of the important topics in engineering mathematics that lead to the understanding of technical concepts among students. This study was conducted to explore the students' understanding of ODEs when they solve ODE questions using a traditional method as well as a computer algebraic system, particularly…

Kendricks, Kimberly D. – Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2011
Significant research in K-12 education has shown that computer based learning in mathematics positively impacts students' attitudes toward mathematics and greatly increases academic performance. Little research has shown, however, how this success can be replicated in a postsecondary classroom for minority students. This paper is a case study that…

Gleason, Jim – College Teaching, 2012
The implementation of online texts, videos, homework, and tests has changed the process of instruction in introductory college mathematics courses. With this change, more of the students' learning takes place outside of the traditional college classroom and in places such as tutoring centers and dorm rooms. A combination of chi-square tests--for…
