Undergraduate Engineering Students' Subjective Task Value Beliefs for Modeling Problems in Chemistry
Direct linkCrippen, Kent J.; Imperial, Lorelie; Bolch, Charlotte A.; Payne, Corey A. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
Use of modeling as a learning strategy in introductory science courses could serve to support the persistence of all students, including those who identify with a traditionally underrepresented ethnic minority (URM). If students find inherent value in working on modeling-type problems then this authentic practice would aid in transforming personal…

Wilburne, Jane M.; Dause, Emily – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2017
This study's purpose was to determine the effect of instruction in self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies on low-achieving fourth-grade students' perseverance in solving mathematics problems. This study was conducted with fourth-grade students who had been ability-grouped based on prior low achievement and testing data in math. Students were…

Cromley, Jennifer G.; Kaplan, Avi; Totonchi, Delaram A.; Stine, Kevin; Mara, Kyle R.; Balsai, Michael; Ta – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
We built on two cognitive and three motivational theoretical constructs to create a combined intervention aiming to improve course achievement and retention in STEM for first-year ("gateway") biology students. Participants were 350 students in one of 8 conditions or a no-treatment control group. Messages supporting cognition and…

Clarke, Doug; Cheeseman, Jill; Roche, Anne; van der Schans, Stephanie – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2014
In recent years, the mathematics education research community has given increased focus to the use of cognitively demanding, challenging tasks and the demands placed on students and teachers by their use. In particular, there is evidence that a major issue is students' lack of persistence when working on such tasks. In this article, we report on…

Peer reviewedPugh, Marilyn B. – Community/Junior College Quarterly of Research and Practice, 1991
Studies the effects of explicitly teaching a problem-solving strategy on problem-solving ability, course average, course success, and student retention, focusing on two microeconomics courses. Indicates that teaching problem solving helps students with low problem-solving skills remain in class and succeed. (DMM)

Peer reviewedThomas, Pamela V.; Higbee, Jeanne L. – Journal of Developmental Education, 1999
Describes a study that explores the relationship between affective variables and mathematics achievement among high-risk students enrolled in developmental-mathematics courses. Finds that time taken from traditional instruction in college algebra to encourage persistence and problem-solving skills enhances spatial visualization, promotes…
