Direct linkNolan, Caroline; Herbert, Sandra – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2015
The introduction of linear functions is the turning point where many students decide if mathematics is useful or not. This means the role of parameters and variables in linear functions could be considered to be "threshold concepts". There is recognition that linear functions can be taught in context through the exploration of linear…

Schmidt, Karsten; Kohler, Anke; Moldenhauer, Wolfgang – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2009
This paper reports on the effects the use of a pocket calculator-based computer algebra system (CAS) has on the performance in mathematics of grade 11 students in Germany. A project started at 8 of about one hundred upper secondary schools in the federal state of Thuringia in 1999; 3 years later the former restrictions on the use of technology in…

Gratz, Zandra S.; And Others – 1993
A study was conducted at a large, state-supported college in the Northeast to establish a mechanism by which a popular software package, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), could be used in psychology program statistics courses in such a way that no prior computer expertise would be needed on the part of the faculty or the…

Peer reviewedOwens, Emiel W.; Waxman, Hersholt C. – International Journal of Instructional Media, 1998
This study examined sex- and ethnic-related differences in technology use in secondary school science and mathematics classrooms. Female students reported that they were less likely to use computers than males but more likely to use calculators. African American students were found to use computers more than Hispanic and white students, whereas…

Mangels, Kenneth – 1993
This paper presents the results of a comparison of data from the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) 4th (n=179) and 8th (n=143) grade student and teacher samples to the data from the 1990 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 4th and 8th grade student and teacher samples. This is part of a larger study of mathematics education in…
