Johns, Carolyn – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2020
Improving STEM retention is a major focus of universities and studies have shown calculus to be a barrier for STEM intending students. Prior to this study, local data indicated students did not pursue STEM fields because they were not passing calculus. The goal of this study is to report on factors related to student success in first-semester…

Johnson, Heather Lynn; McClintock, Evan; Hornbein, Peter – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2017
Using an actor-oriented perspective on transfer, we report a case of a student's transfer of covariational reasoning across tasks involving different backgrounds and features. In this study, we investigated the research question: How might a student's covariational reasoning on Ferris wheel tasks, involving attributes of distance, width, and…
