Graziano, Kevin J.; Hall, John D. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2017
Research on flipped instruction with K-12 English Language Learners (ELLs) is limited. The purpose of this study was to examine the academic performance of ELLs who received flipped instruction in an algebra course at a newcomer high school, and to investigate ELLs' perceptions of flipped learning. Results indicate flipped instruction engaged…

Park, Jungho – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2015
Much research has been conducted in educational robotics, a new instructional technology, for K-12 education. However, there are arguments on the effect of robotics and limited empirical evidence to investigate the impact of robotics in science learning. Also most robotics studies were carried in an informal educational setting. This study…

Engerman, Jason; Rusek, Matthew; Clariana, Roy – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2014
This experiment investigates the effectiveness of Excel spreadsheets in a high school algebra class. Students in the experiment group convincingly outperformed the control group on a post lesson assessment. The student responses, teacher observations involving Excel spreadsheet revealed that it operated as a mindtool, which formed the users'…

A Comparison between a Traditional and an Accelerated, Online, Adaptive Approach to Developmental Mathematics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
McGee, Daniel; Vasquez, Pedro; Cajigas, Jesus – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2014
The University of Puerto Rico in Mayaguez (UPRM) has found that there are disadvantages to a semester long remedial mathematics course that is administered during the freshmen year to students with mathematics deficiencies in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programs. Correspondingly, the UPRM designed and implemented an…

The Effect of Simulation Software on Students' Attitudes and Understanding in Introductory Statistics.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sterling, Joan; Gray, Mary W. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1991
An experimental class in introductory statistics (n=40) using simulation software at American University was compared to a traditionally taught control group (n=36) with respect to achievement and accrued beliefs about the benefits of the simulations. Results indicate significantly higher achievement scores for the experimental class with about…

Using Symbolic Calculators in a Constructivist Approach to Teaching Mathematics of Finance.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Stiff, Lee V.; And Others – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1992
This study highlights two groups of students enrolled in a college mathematics of finance course using same textbook and instructor. Experimental group used menu-driven symbolic calculators, whereas control group used standard scientific calculators. Significant increases in favor of experimental group were found both with respect to students'…
