Utilization Of Academic Support Services Among Undergraduate Students Enrolled In A Workload Mathematics Course, Online Or In-Person, Jennifer Healey
Utilization Of Academic Support Services Among Undergraduate Students Enrolled In A Workload Mathematics Course, Online Or In-Person, Jennifer Healey
Master of Science in Mathematics
This research study examined the utilization of academic support resources, students’ sense of belonging, and achievement levels in online and in-person sections of a workload mathematics course at UC Davis. The findings indicate that there were no significant differences in the utilization of support services between the two instructional modalities, suggesting that both modes offered similar opportunities for student engagement and learning. Additionally, no significant differences were found between online and in-person students in their overall sense of belonging at UC Davis and with classmates. However, differences were observed in specific survey questions about meeting classmates outside of class to …

The main focus of this research is to determine the value that the use of ALEKs in an Ohio urban high school has on Ohio State assessments. The features of ALEKs that are looked at are total progress pie completed and number of years ALEKs was used. The Ohio State Assessments that were looked at are MAP, Algebra 1 EOC, Geometry EOC, and ACT. The data was collected from all 7th -12th grades enrolled during the 2022-2023 school year. This research shows that the use of ALEKs at the collegiate level has shown improvements for Mathematics placement and College Algebra …

The Examination Of Text Anxiety, Homework Grade, Exam Grade, And Gender To DeterMine Course Success In Masters Students, Jenna Nottle
Master of Science in Mathematics
Anxiety is a feeling that almost every human has felt at some point in their life. Test anxiety is a branch of anxiety. Test anxiety is a combination of physical and motional symptoms that interfere with the ability to perform well on a test. Test anxiety can causes consequences of failure, worry about the exam itself, lack confidence in one’s own ability, and have low self-esteem. Studies have shown negative impact on test anxiety and test scores. A lot of this research done has been at the elementary level through undergraduate level in a students educational journey. However, not much …
Factors Contributing To Students Success On Algebra 1 End-Of Course Exams, Mirranda Glasgow
Factors Contributing To Students Success On Algebra 1 End-Of Course Exams, Mirranda Glasgow
Master of Science in Mathematics
High school students in the state of Ohio are required to meet or exceed a specific score on several standardized tests in different subjects in addition to meeting coursework requirements to receive a high school diploma. These tests are called end-of-course (EOC) exams. As the name implies, these exams are given at the end of a required high school course and are based on the state standards for that course. Although these tests are aligned with the standards being used to create the curriculum, many students do not reach the required score when completing the test the first time. This …
Predictors Of Student Success In A Virtual High School Math Program, Terry Barnett
Predictors Of Student Success In A Virtual High School Math Program, Terry Barnett
Master of Science in Mathematics
Before the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, much of the research being done on virtual education was focused on the postsecondary level of instruction. With the Covid-19 pandemic forcing most school districts to offer some form of virtual instruction, the need for research at the secondary level and below had become more apparent, and much research has been done to fill in the gaps of what we know. This research project initially sought to explore the effects of synchronous versus asynchronous instruction, and how that instruction related to student success in a virtual high school mathematics program. As this author gained …
The Impact Of Offering Algebra 1 In Middle School On Student Achievement, Jessica Buran, Laura Deber
The Impact Of Offering Algebra 1 In Middle School On Student Achievement, Jessica Buran, Laura Deber
Master of Science in Mathematics
A strong background in mathematics can set students up for success in future math classes and STEM careers (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). There has been a push to offer Algebra 1 earlier to prepare students with a strong foundation in mathematics and to allow students to complete Calculus before leaving high school. However, in a district where block scheduling allows all students to complete Calculus in secondary school, does offering Algebra 1 in middle school still improve academic achievement? The main goal of this study is to see how student achievement is affected when implementing a program where advanced …
