Calculator Usage In Secondary Level Classrooms: The Ongoing Debate, Nicole Plummer
Calculator Usage In Secondary Level Classrooms: The Ongoing Debate, Nicole Plummer
Honors College Theses
With technology becoming more prevalent every day, it is imperative that students gain enough experience with different technological tools in order to be successful in the “real-world”. This thesis will discuss the debate and overall support for an increased usage of calculators as tools in the secondary level classroom. When the idea of calculators in the classroom first came to life, many educators were very apprehensive and quite hesitant of this change. Unfortunately, more than 40 years later, there is still hesitation for their usage; and rightfully so. While there are plenty of advantages of calculator use in the classroom, …
Middle School Student Perceptions Of Homework In Mathematics, Camille M. Thomas
Middle School Student Perceptions Of Homework In Mathematics, Camille M. Thomas
Honors Scholar Theses
Homework has been a source of debate in schools for the past several decades and will continue to be an important topic in the future. It is a traditional part of education but some debate its importance in the classroom. This study explored student perception of homework and their reported performance in middle school mathematics. The research questions focused on student attitudes about homework, the relationship of students’ self-efficacy and support resources to their homework completion, and the relationship of students’ general level of achievement in mathematics to their attitudes about homework. The study involved a survey of 230 middle …

The Efficacy Of Mathematics Education, Eric Geimer
The Efficacy Of Mathematics Education, Eric Geimer
The STEAM Journal
Evidence supports the notion that mathematics education in the United States is inadequate. There is also evidence that mathematics education deficiencies extend internationally. The worldwide mathematics education deficit appears large enough that improving student performance in this educational problem area could yield great economic benefit. To improve the efficacy of mathematics education, education’s root problems must first be understood. Often supposed educational root problems are considered and contrasted against potential deficiencies of mathematics methodologies and curricula that are based on mainstream educational philosophies. The educational philosophies utilized to form early-grade mathematics methodologies and related curricula are judged to be the …
Mathematics Achievement With Digital Game-Based Learning In High School Algebra 1 Classes, Terri Ferguson
Mathematics Achievement With Digital Game-Based Learning In High School Algebra 1 Classes, Terri Ferguson
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This study examined the impact of digital game-based learning (DGBL) on mathematics achievement in a rural high school setting in North Carolina. A causal comparative research design was used in this study to collect data to determine the effectiveness of DGBL in high school Algebra 1 classes. Data were collected from the North Carolina End-of-Course (EOC) Test for high school Algebra 1. The data collection was broken down by comparison groups based on academic achievement as measured by the North Carolina EOC Test for Algebra 1. The comparison groups were student participants who received digital game-based instruction and tradition instruction …

The Effectiveness Of The Flipped Classroom, Raymond Szparagowski
The Effectiveness Of The Flipped Classroom, Raymond Szparagowski
Honors Projects
This research study explores the “flipped” or “inverted” classroom and its effects on student learning. The flipped classroom is a form of education in which students learn new content during out-of-class-time instead of the traditional review exercises that are normally given, which opens up class time for activities, problem solving, and other forms of instruction. During this study, a flipped classroom was implemented in a high school mathematics course. Data was collected from student grades, a pre and post survey, a class interview/discussion, and my personal notes from teaching. My results indicate that some potential benefits of the flipped classroom …

Maestría en Docencia
El texto escolar es una de las herramientas pedagógicas que a través del tiempo ha servido como apoyo en el proceso de enseñanza, especialmente en el área de matemáticas, debido a ello, toma relevancia identificar el uso que da el docente del texto escolar para desarrollar competencias matemáticas, comenzando por determinar los criterios de selección del texto escolar, las intenciones de uso por parte del docente y el establecimiento de relaciones entre las competencias destacadas en el texto escolar de matemáticas y las que el docente pretende desarrollar en la asignatura de geometría . De acuerdo con los objetivos propuestos, …
