Mathematics Faculty Scholarship

DBER attracts many faculty from other STEM disciplines, and these faculty have little or no specific training in DBER. DBER requires a mastery of quantitative, qualitative, and/or mixed methodologies, and also a nuanced understanding of breadth of topic, research questions, and theoretical frameworks. This interdisciplinarity is particularly challenging for emerging DBER researchers who often switch into DBER with only discipline specific content and research training. As part of a large study about how STEM faculty become involved with DBER, we interviewed a number of emerging DBER faculty about their pathways into DBER. We conducted a thematic analysis of these interviews …

In the spring of 1938 the placement office of the Central Washington College of Education submitted a questionnaire to school superintendents in ninety communities in the state of Washington and asked their cooperation in filling it out. The purposes of the questionnaire were three : ( 1) to secure the reactions of school superintendents to placement practices and procedures now in vogue ; ( 2) to discover local conditions, individual preferences, community prejudices etc. which have a direct bearing on teacher placement; ( 3) to secure frank criticisms of placement service rendered and suggestions on the improvement of training-institution functions.
