Inequalities And Exponential Approximations For Residual Life Reliability Functions, Broderick O. Oluyede, Marvis Pararai
Inequalities And Exponential Approximations For Residual Life Reliability Functions, Broderick O. Oluyede, Marvis Pararai
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
Given that a unit is of age t, the remaining life after time t is random. The expected value of this random residual life is called the mean residual life at time t. Specifically, if T is the life of a component with distribution function F, then δF (t) = E(T −t|T > t) is called the mean residual life function (MRLF). It is well known that the class of distributions with decreasing mean residual life (DMR) contains the class of distributions with increasing hazard rate (IHR). In this note, …

Harmonic Analysis Related To Schrödinger Operators, Gestur Olafsson, Shijun Zheng
Harmonic Analysis Related To Schrödinger Operators, Gestur Olafsson, Shijun Zheng
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
In this article, we give an overview of some recent developments in Littlewood-Paley theory for Schrödinger operators. We extend the Littlewood-Paley theory for special potentials considered in our previous work [J. Fourier Anal. Appl. 12 (2006), no. 6, 653–674; MR2275390]. We elaborate our approach by considering a potential in C∞0 or the Schwartz class in one dimension. In particular, the low energy estimates are treated by establishing some new and refined asymptotics for the eigenfunctions and their Fourier transforms. We give a maximal function characterization of the Besov spaces and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces associated with H. Then we …

Actively Engaging Pre-Service Teachers In Geometry And Measurement, Kadian M. Callahan
Actively Engaging Pre-Service Teachers In Geometry And Measurement, Kadian M. Callahan
Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators
Current work in mathematics education suggests that the learning experiences in which teachers engage during undergraduate study influences their knowledge of and beliefs about mathematics and the ways in which they will teach (Allen, et. al., 2008; CBMS, 2001; Hill, Rowan, & Ball, 2005; National Research Council, 2001). However, very little is known about pre-service teachers’ learning experiences and how those experiences influence their thinking about mathematics teaching and learning. The classroom excerpt described here attempts to illuminate how pre-service, elementary teachers’ active engagement in the learning of geometry and measurement influences their mathematical power: a positive disposition toward mathematics, …
Becoming Critical Mathematics Pedagogues: A Journey, David W. Stinson
Becoming Critical Mathematics Pedagogues: A Journey, David W. Stinson
Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators
This session will report the findings of a study that explored the beginning transformations in the pedagogical philosophies and practices of three mathematics teachers (middle, high school, and 2-year college) who completed a graduate-level mathematics education course that focused on critical theory and teaching for social justice, and how these transformations are compatible (or not) with reform mathematics education as suggested by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), and in turn, the new Georgia Performance Standards (GPS). The study
employed Freirian participatory research methodology; in fact, the participants were not only co- researchers, but also co-authors of the …
The Paaps Strategy For Teaching Mathematics Content, Greg Harrell
The Paaps Strategy For Teaching Mathematics Content, Greg Harrell
Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators
In the fall of 2005, I started teaching the mathematics content course Algebra and Geometry for Teachers. The majority of students in the course are pre-service middle school teachers. Instead of teaching the course by demonstrating rigorous proofs, I wanted to use teaching strategies that would build the students’ content knowledge and connect to their roles as future mathematics
teachers. I chose to make problem solving a focal process standard by having students problem- solve for a majority of classroom time. In addition, the students complete a major project entitled
“Provide, Attempt, and Assess Problem Solving” or PAAPS. For PAAPS, …
Preservice Teachers’ Disposition Self-Appraisals: Is There A Connection To Mathematics Instructional Practices?, Shonda Lemons-Smith
Preservice Teachers’ Disposition Self-Appraisals: Is There A Connection To Mathematics Instructional Practices?, Shonda Lemons-Smith
Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators
This paper explores preservice teachers’ dispositions and the connection to mathematics instructional practices. The Theory of Culturally Relevant Pedagogy served as the theoretical grounding for the study. Hence, its three broad propositions: conceptions of self and others, social relations, and conceptions of knowledge structure the argument presented. The participants in the study are elementary preservice teachers enrolled in a post-baccalaureate alternative certification program. The full-time, accelerated program focuses on and is specifically designed for individuals committed to teaching in urban, high-poverty schools. A dispositions survey, open-ended narratives, and teaching observation rubric served as data sources for the qualitative study. Findings …

African American Educators: Why They Teach In Rural Georgia School Districts And Why They Remain There, Sarah Louise Alonzo-Osborne
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The student population in the public school systems throughout the United States has become more racially and ethnically diverse, yet the minority teacher population has declined sharply. Currently, Caucasians comprise an overwhelming majority of the teacher population while African American teachers represent approximately only 8% of the field. This study explores the African American educators' experiences of teaching in rural Georgia school districts. This study is being conducted to identify what factors influence African American educators' decisions to teach in rural Georgia school districts and why they remain there. In order to explore the experiences from the participants' perspective, a …

Preferred Coaching Qualities In Ncaa Division I College Athletes: A Qualitative Analysis Of Basketball Players From The Millennial Generation, Edward Carl Hoffman
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The millennial generation, otherwise known as the Echo Boomers, is a generation with characteristics that few previous generations have possessed. In the world of sport, this generation is currently dominating the ranks of collegiate athletics. Moreover, the coaching ranks are just beginning to experience the characteristics of this exceptional group of people. Thus, the purpose of the study was to examine the preferred coaching styles of athletes from the millennial generation at the NCAA Division I level from a semi-structured qualitative perspective. A secondary purpose was to examine these characteristics from a gender perspective. After analyzing the data, five themes …
Examination Of Preferred Coaching Behaviors As Predicted By Athlete Gender, Race, And Playing Time, Glenn Parrish Burdette
Examination Of Preferred Coaching Behaviors As Predicted By Athlete Gender, Race, And Playing Time, Glenn Parrish Burdette
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Multidimensional Model for Sport Leadership (MML) (Chelladurai, 1980) states that athlete performance and satisfaction are functions of the congruency between the preferred leadership of student-athletes, the required behavior of the coach as dictated by the situation, and the actual behavior of the coach. The model was developed nearly 30 years ago and while research outside of sport has indicated that leadership preferences have changed with generations, the MML is still the most widely accepted model for sport leadership. As such, research in sport should examine how appropriate the model is to todays athletic culture. Gender, one member characteristic, has …
