Understanding College Students' Disconnections With Mathematics, Karen Jean Edwards

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

This study explores the disconnections introductory college mathematics students experience with mathematics. The experiences of six former mathematics students from their earliest memories forward to present day were explored. The study employed an interpretive case study and an action research methodology to present a detailed, historical record of the students' interactions and disconnections with learning quantitative material.
