Braseth, Eskil Ahn – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2022
Research on practice-based mathematics teacher education has identified core practices, principles and design features that lead to effective programs. Yet, some teachers do not perceive such practice-based development programs as relevant or useful. In response to this, the study reported in this article investigated three Norwegian teachers'…

Boatman, Angela; Claro, Susana; Fresard, Matias; Kramer, Jenna W. – Research in Higher Education, 2022
For countries concerned about equity and access to higher education, providing support services for academically underprepared students is critical to increasing their probabilities of success. Corequisite math courses provide opportunities for underprepared students to develop their basic math skills through simultaneous enrollment in…

Ingram, Naomi; Linsell, Chris – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2014
In this paper, three elements of primary pre-service teachers' relationships with mathematics are explored: mathematical achievement, feelings about the subject, and confidence to teach mathematics. At the beginning of their programme, under half of the pre-service teachers did not meet the numeracy requirements and took part in a support…

Gordon, Sue; Nicholas, Jackie – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2013
In this study we investigate the conceptions of mathematics bridging courses held by students enrolled in these courses at a major Australian university. We report on the participants' responses to email-interview questions about the mathematics bridging courses to describe a two-dimensional outcome space of variations in awareness about the…

Staats, Susan; Batteen, Chris – Journal of College Reading and Learning, 2009
Teaching mathematics in real-word contexts is a strategy to make math relevant for undergraduate students. However, very little research exists on students' methods of integrating contextual and mathematical knowledge through writing. This study uses an interdisciplinary writing assignment to investigate the relationship between students' written…

Harding, Ansie; Engelbrecht, Johann; Verwey, Amanda – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
The supplemental instruction (SI) programme has been well-established worldwide and the resulting success of the programme is indisputable. The University of Pretoria has decided on SI as the model to be used for addressing the underpreparedness of students entering the university, largely brought about by the changes in the curricula at secondary…

O'Connor, Wendy E.; Morrison, Todd G. – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 1997
The effectiveness of the Mathematical Skills Foundation Programme at Memorial University of Newfoundland (Canada), a program that evaluates the mathematical knowledge of each student to individualize instruction, was studied with data from 304 students. Results suggest that the remedial program did not have a positive measurable effect on students…
