Amanda Mohammad Mirzaei – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Introductory calculus is mandatory for postsecondary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors (Bressoud, 2015); however, many students do not persist through introductory calculus to further STEM study (Rasmussen et al., 2019). One reason for this may be that students struggle with the prior mathematical knowledge required…

Hartmann, Christian; Rummel, Nikol; Bannert, Maria – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2022
This paper presents a fine-grained process analysis of 22 students in a classroom-based learning setting. The students engaged (and failed) in problem-solving attempts prior to instruction (i.e., the Productive-Failure approach). We used the HeuristicsMiner algorithm to analyze the data of a quasi-experimental study. The applied algorithm allowed…

Abdel-Salam G. Abdel-Salam; Radwa Ismail; Mohamed Rhouma; Amal Elatawneh; Khalifa Al Hazaa; Michael H. Romanowski – SAGE Open, 2023
The study aimed to investigate students' final grades in a linked course or chain course to determine any effect on students' academic performance in their next linked course. Courses with high D, F, and W grades were selected with their subsequent linked courses to form a chain so that each chain consisted of two courses or more. More…

Evensky, Jerry; Kao, Duke; Yang, Qing; Fadele, Remi; Fenner, Richard – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1997
Describes a model for addressing prerequisite mathematics needs. A small set of prerequisite skills for the content course is identified and assessed, and students needing extra help are assisted. Targeted students include those with only marginal deficits rather than those needing full course remediation. Presents results from empirical testing…
