Spatial Visualization, Attitudes Toward Mathematics, And Mathematics Achievement Among Chinese-American, Hispanic-American, And Caucasian Seventh And Eighth Grade Students, Wenfu Shieh

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Many studies have shown that spatial visualization and attitudes toward mathematics are positively and significantly correlated to achievement in mathematics. This study attempted to find out whether these relationships remain consistent across various ethnic groups. This study also attempted to ascertain if spatial visualization ability and attitudes toward mathematics vary among ethnic groups, and if these possible variabilities correspond to the different degrees of mathematical achievement. One hundred five 7th and 8th grade Caucasian, Chinese-American, and Hispanic-American students were selected from three of the five middle schools in the Stockton Unified School District to participate in this study. The DAT …

The Effects Of Oral And Oral-Visual Dictation Exercises On A Specific Writing Skill Of Selected College Developmental Students (Remedial, Television, Controlled Composition)., Ronald Maurice Simeral

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This research was designed to examine the effects of dictation exercises on the scores of developmental students on a test of a specific English writing skill. Additionally, the study examined the differences in these scores based on the preference type scales of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) in order to test the hypothesis that certain MBTI types that handle the oral language well would learn writing skills faster when exposed to dictation exercises related to those skills. A pre-test and a post-test were administered to three groups of developmental writing students at Nicholls State University. All three groups were taught …

Covariance Structural Models For Mathematics Achievement And Participation: An Investigation Of Sex Differences At The Level Of College Calculus Using Factorial Modeling, Thomas Patrick Dick

Doctoral Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to develop covariance structural models that would explain, in terms of orthogonal latent variables, the correlations observed among mathematics achievement and participation measures and related cognitive and affective variables. A random sample of college calculus students (N = 268; 124 females and 144 males) was administered: (1) a battery of cognitive tests, including measures of spatial-visual ability, field independence/field dependence, and logical reasoning; and (2) a battery of affective scales, including measures of attitude toward mathematics, confidence, perceived usefulness of mathematics, effectance motivation, and locus of control. Measures of previous academic achievement and participation …
