Nicholas Gorgievski; Thomas DeFranco – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2024
In most mathematics textbooks, each lesson is followed by a set of homework problems in one of two ways -- blocked practice and mixed practice. Additionally, most mathematics textbooks rely on a common learning strategy called overlearning, that is, mastering a skill and continuing to practice this same skill. This study investigated the effects…

Allison Dorko; John Paul Cook; Isaiah DeHoyos – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2023
In an online asynchronous vector calculus course, we observed exam answers solved with a formula from online homework instead of the formula from lecture. Our exploratory study investigated (1) why students learned from homework instead of lecture for this topic and (2) their epistemological frames (e-frames) for lecture and homework. Per (1),…

Roy, George J.; Tobias, Jennifer M.; Safi, Farshid; Dixon, Juli K. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2014
As students contribute to social and sociomathematical norms, they will often reorganize their own understandings. As such, the purpose of this article is to describe the ways in which prospective elementary teachers contributed to the norms that were established and "re"-established throughout an entire semester in an undergraduate…
