Optimizing The Pedagogical Efficacy Of Moodle, Michelle Li-Kuehne, Evan M. Lowder May 2012

Optimizing The Pedagogical Efficacy Of Moodle, Michelle Li-Kuehne, Evan M. Lowder

Forum Lectures

Course Management Systems (CMS) such as Moodle, D2L, and Blackboard are often used as auxiliary resources for both traditional and online courses. As CSB/SJU faculty, many of us are developing and using creative CMS resources with the goal of positive pedagogical impact. How is the effectiveness of these resources assessed? Which resources are found most useful by students? How can faculty maximize the pedagogical value of CMS? This Thursday Forum presentation shows participants the results of a study directed toward answering these questions. During three introductory financial accounting courses conducted in 2009, 2010, and 2011, Camtasia videos, assignment solutions, notes, …

Narrative Reflexivity In Raced And Gendered Spaces, Terri L. Rodriguez Apr 2012

Narrative Reflexivity In Raced And Gendered Spaces, Terri L. Rodriguez

Education Faculty Publications

This article explores the reflexive narrative positioning in which the author engages as a White woman, a secondary English teacher, and an educational researcher inquiring into the experiences of Latino/a teacher candidates in a Midwestern teacher education program. The author argues that critically reflexive narrative positioning enables her to embrace a stance toward equity and social justice for linguistically, racially, and ethnically diverse students in U.S. public schools. In this article, she shares three narrative vignettes through which she positions herself in relation to the Latino/a preservice teachers with whom she collaborated in the research project.


Undergraduate Students' Self-Reported Use Of Mathematics Textbooks, Aaron Weinberg, Emilie Wiesner, Bret Benesh, Timothy Boester Mar 2012

Undergraduate Students' Self-Reported Use Of Mathematics Textbooks, Aaron Weinberg, Emilie Wiesner, Bret Benesh, Timothy Boester

Mathematics Faculty Publications

Textbooks play an important role in undergraduate mathematics courses and have the potential to impact student learning. However, there have been few studies that describe students' textbook use in detail. In this study, 1156 undergraduate students in introductory mathematics classes were surveyed, and asked to describe how they used their textbook. The results indicate that students tend to use examples, instead of the expository text, to build their mathematical understanding, which instructors may view as problematic. This way of using the textbook may be the result of the textbook structure itself, as well as students' beliefs about reading and the …


What Mathematics Do Elementary Education Teachers Need To Know?, Bret Benesh Mar 2012

What Mathematics Do Elementary Education Teachers Need To Know?, Bret Benesh

Forum Lectures

Almost no one is happy with the state of America's mathematics education. I examine the mathematics textbooks elementary education majors commonly use in college to determine what effect this might be having on their future elementary school students. In this Thursday Forum, I report on what I found in these textbooks---and why I do not like them. I then supply an alternative vision that would better serve our elementary school students.
