In 2009, Al Akhawayn University, a liberal arts college in Morocco, started a Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) program. The question that drove my action research project was how to make writing more continuous in a WAC class. In addition to the writing assignments, weekly prompts on the discussion forum of the Learning Management System were…

Direct linkGrothérus, Annika; Jeppsson, Fredrik; Samuelsson, Joakim – Educational Action Research, 2019
The aim of the present study is to advocate the use of a participatory action research programme, the Formative Scaffolding Programme (FSP), in mathematics. The FSP's main structure is presented as well as an implementation of a class intervention, with the aim of exploring the FSP test cycle's virtues in a social science class in a Swedish…

Babino, Alexandra, Ed.; Cossa, Nedra, Ed.; Araujo, Juan J., Ed.; Johnson, Robin D., Ed. – Association of Literacy Educators and Researchers, 2019
The theme for the 62nd annual conference of the Association of Literacy Educators and Researchers was Educating for a Just Society. Connie Briggs, previous Program Chair, reminded us that, "Education has always been the foundation of a democratic nation. It is important that our students understand the principles upon which our nation was…

Writing in Mathematics Classes. What Research Says to the Science and Mathematics Teacher. Number 9.
Miller, L. Diane – 1992
This publication describes how writing in mathematics classes in Australia can be beneficial to students and their teachers, including: journal writing, expository writing, and transactional writing. In addition, it reports the results of a study that examined benefits derived by five secondary school mathematics teachers from reading their…

Peer reviewedJurdak, Murad; Zein, Rihab Abu – School Science and Mathematics, 1998
Describes the results of a teaching experiment conducted to investigate the effect of journal writing on achievement in and attitudes toward mathematics. The results of ANCOVA suggest that journal writing has a positive impact on middle school students' (n=104) conceptual understanding, procedural knowledge, and mathematical communication, but not…

Phillips, Eileen; Crespo, Sandra – 1995
Communication in the mathematics classroom is currently viewed as an integral part of mathematics instruction. This paper explores the usefulness of math penpal letters as a means of increasing the quality of written communication in mathematics. The focus of this study is the letter writing exchanges between a class of 4th-grade students (n=28)…

Peer reviewedClarke, David J.; And Others – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1993
Examines one mode of mathematical communication--student journal writing. The evaluation of the experimental use in one school of journal writing in mathematics demonstrates a link between language and mathematics and suggests a relationship between students' mathematical writings and their perceptions of mathematics. (Contains 21 references.)…

Peer reviewedGalbraith, Peter L.; And Others – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1992
The opinions of 98 Australian educational experts concerning mathematics skills necessary for future numeracy were solicited. The qualitative comments were incorporated into three scenarios reflecting alternative visions for the future: a careful scenario, a futuristic scenario, and a process scenario. (24 references) (MDH)

Peer reviewedDavision, David; Pearce, Daniel – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 1990
Reports research examining the effects of writing activities on mathematics achievement. Results indicate that prewriting activities, such as modeling or prompts, are essential and that regular, systematic writing over an extended period can improve students' performance in, and attitude toward, mathematics. (15 references) (MDH)

Peer reviewedSwinson, Kevan – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 1992
Analyzed survey responses of 226 mathematics teachers from 57 Australian high schools concerning the use of writing in mathematics classrooms. Findings suggested that writing is rarely used as a strategy for teaching mathematics and when it is used, its effectiveness is limited. Includes the Writing in Mathematics questionnaire. (44 references)…
