Harnly, Jessica J. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
More than two-thirds of first-year community college students require remediation in reading and/or mathematics before they can take college-level courses. Among these underprepared students who take the recommended developmental mathematics courses to become college-ready, less than one-third successfully complete these courses, posing a barrier…

Bicknell, Brenda; Young-Loveridge, Jenny; Nguyen, Nhung – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2016
This design study investigated the use of multiplication and division problems to help 5-year-old children develop an early understanding of multiplication and division. One teacher and her class of 15 5-year-old children were involved in a collaborative partnership with the researchers. The design study was conducted over two 4-week periods in…

Cho, Moon-Heum; Heron, Michele L. – Distance Education, 2015
Enrollment in online remedial mathematics courses has increased in popularity in institutions of higher learning; however, students unskilled in self-regulated learning (SRL) find online remedial mathematics courses particularly challenging. We investigated the role of SRL, specifically motivation, emotion, and learning strategies, in students'…

Kabael, Tangul Uygur – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2010
The derivative of a composite function, taken with the chain rule is one of the important notions in calculus. This paper describes a study conducted in Turkey that shows that the chain rule was given with the formula in function notation and/or the Leibniz notation without relating these formulas to life-related problem situations in the…

Blair, Andrew – Mathematics Teaching Incorporating Micromath, 2008
A student's conceptual learning is facilitated by a harmonious method of learning. In teacher-directed strategy lessons, there is little guarantee that a method permits students to reach an "ideal" understanding. In the investigative classroom, the learning experience is rigidly structured, leaving students the unenviable responsibility to…

Gordon, Sue; Nicholas, Jackie – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2005
We extend an earlier study on the role of memorising in learning science with three case studies on mathematicians' experiences as learners of mathematics and their views on memorising in students' learning. Each report reflects a different view of memorising--from a minimal role in learning mathematics, to a "stepping stone" role to memorising as…
