An Analysis of Content Knowledge and Cognitive Abilities as Factors That Are Associated with Algebra Performance
Direct linkDirect link
McLean, Tamika Ann – ProQuest LLC, 2017
The current study investigated college students' content knowledge and cognitive abilities as factors associated with their algebra performance, and examined how combinations of content knowledge and cognitive abilities related to their algebra performance. Specifically, the investigation examined the content knowledge factors of computational…

Kösa, Temel – Educational Research and Reviews, 2016
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of using dynamic geometry software on preservice mathematics teachers' spatial visualization skills and to determine whether spatial visualization skills can be a predictor of success in learning analytic geometry of space. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a control group.…

Dana-Picard, Thierry; Kidron, Ivy; Zeitoun, David – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2008
The study of a real function of two real variables can be supported by visualisation using a Computer Algebra System (CAS). One type of constraint of the system is due to the algorithms implemented, yielding continuous approximations of the given function by interpolation. This often masks discontinuities of the given function and can provide very…

Samuels, Jason – ProQuest LLC, 2010
This study was inspired by a history of student difficulties in calculus, and innovation in response to those difficulties. The goals of the study were fourfold. First, to design a mathlet for students to explore local linearity. Second, to redesign the curriculum of first semester calculus around the use of technology, an emphasis on…

Factors Predicting Recall of Mathematics Terms by Deaf Students: Implications for Teaching
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lang, Harry; Pagliaro, Claudia – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2007
In this study of deaf high school students, imagery and familiarity were found to be the best predictors of geometry word recall, whereas neither concreteness nor signability of the terms was a significant predictor variable. Recall of high imagery terms was significantly better than for low imagery terms, and the same result was found for high-…
