Book excerpt: During summer 2009, Washington State University introduced an engineering based mathematics course for incoming freshmen, done as part of a project in conjunction with Wright State University. The goal of the course was to improve students' understanding of pre‐calculus and calculus concepts within the context of engineering problems. It was also intended to increase students' interest in engineering, through the integration of mathematics and engineering concepts. Typically, students who come to college intending on majoring in engineering have math backgrounds at or above the pre‐calculus level. At WSU, 75 percent of students entering engineering place into pre‐calculus or higher, while all students in the course had taken at least high school pre‐calculus prior to enrollment. Because of this, an underlying assumption for the course was that the students already had some pre‐calculus experience, but needed more work to understand and fully grasp the material, rather than a holistic study of the subject matter. The inclusion and use of engineering contexts to teach mathematics was done to help students see practical applications of the material in engineering, which would, in turn, help them see uses in future mathematics courses. This is important because engineering students often become disinterested in engineering, or even change majors, because of the rigorous mathematics prerequisites required (Adelman, 1998; Klingbeil et al, 2005).

This book was released on 2007 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The disparity in academic performance between groups of students has long been recognized in education. Recent findings reflect an increased awareness of how factors influence a student's ability to learn mathematics, in particular how a student's self-efficacy correlates with achievement. However, there is a lack of research that explores how these math efficacy beliefs are developed in students from low SES backgrounds.
Book Synopsis Tracking and Understanding At-risk College Students' Self-efficacy in a Treatment Mathematics Course by : Lauren Renee Cavner Williams
Download or read book Tracking and Understanding At-risk College Students' Self-efficacy in a Treatment Mathematics Course written by Lauren Renee Cavner Williams and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students enrolled in developmental college courses generally have lower levels of self-efficacy than their counterparts, and this can negatively affect their course performance, motivation, and ability to graduate. The current study focuses on the effects of a treatment course in developmental algebra on students' self-efficacy in mathematics. This course is part of a program that assists students who place into developmental mathematics, English, and reading courses with additional supports and saving students time and money. The perceived effects of the treatment developmental algebra course on students' self-efficacy in mathematics was measured with a standard instrument (the Mathematics Self-Efficacy Scale [MSES]), student journals, student interviews, student grades on course assessments, and the instructor's journal. The MSES was also administered to similar non-treatment students to offer further comparison. Data analysis determined that changes in self-efficacy occurred and were measurable, more so for the treatment group than the control group. Additional analysis points to the reasons that treatment students may attribute to these observed changes in self-efficacy which include opportunities of success and persistence through struggle, a course instructor who is inviting of questions and willing to help students, and peer support from the learning community. Further, data analysis illustrated the level of agreement between the results of the five data sources. Results of this analysis indicate that agreement generally existed between the data sources, but inclusion of journals potentially provides details about the student experience that might have otherwise been lost.
Book Synopsis Mathematics Self-efficacy of Community College Students in Developmental Mathematics Courses by : David Walker Clutts
Download or read book Mathematics Self-efficacy of Community College Students in Developmental Mathematics Courses written by David Walker Clutts and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematics self-efficacy was defined as an individual's beliefs about how he or she would perform a specific math task or in a specific mathematics or related course. Mathematics self-efficacy was differentiated from self-esteem. Previous literature found self-efficacy in general and mathematics self-efficacy in particular to be significantly related to enrollment, retention, and completion. This study used the Mathematics Self-Efficacy Survey to investigate whether age, gender, developmental mathematics course, or developmental mathematics grade were significantly predictive of mathematics self-efficacy among developmental mathematics students course at a Kentucky community college. Multiple linear regression found that none of these variables were statistically significant predictors of mathematics self-efficacy among respondents. The study discussed the resulting implications and made recommendations for future research and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Mathematics is constructed rigorously through proofs, based on truths, which are either axioms or previously proven theorems. Thus, it is par excellence a model of rational inquiry. Links between Cognitive Psychology and Mathematics Education have been particularly strong during the last decades. Indeed, the Enlightenment view of the rational human mind that reasons, makes decisions and solves problems based on logic and probabilities, was shaken during the second half of the twentieth century. Cognitive psychologists discovered that humans' thoughts and actions often deviate from rules imposed by strict normative theories of inference. Yet, these deviations should not be called "errors": as Cognitive Psychologists have demonstrated, these deviations may be either valid heuristics that succeed in the environments in which humans have evolved, or biases that are caused by a lack of adaptation to abstract information formats. Humans, as the cognitive psychologist and economist Herbert Simon claimed, do not usually optimize, but rather satisfice, even when solving problem. This Research Topic aims at demonstrating that these insights have had a decisive impact on Mathematics Education. We want to stress that we are concerned with the view of bounded rationality that is different from the one espoused by the heuristics-and-biases program. In Simon’s bounded rationality and its direct descendant ecological rationality, rationality is understood in terms of cognitive success in the world (correspondence) rather than in terms of conformity to content-free norms of coherence (e.g., transitivity).

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative study was to measure the change in mathematics self-efficacy of students enrolled in a college mathematics course at a community college in Missouri. The change was measured over a single semester as a pre-test and post-test. The timing of this study is significant, given that it follows statewide changes in college mathematics curriculum. The changes made to Missouri college-level mathematics courses were done in an effort to increase student retention and completion of general education mathematics credit in the state, which had been a barrier for graduation. This study outlines how mathematics self-efficacy is one measure that may be used to assess how the new courses impact students. The data from a mathematics self-efficacy survey, administered to students during Fall 2019 and Spring 2021 semesters, were analyzed using descriptive statistics and tested for significance using t-tests and ANOVA. Changes in mathematics self-efficacy were examined based on whether or not the student was enrolled in an optimal mathematics course for their degree, gender, ethnicity, high school grade point average, and overall college mathematics course enrollment. Findings showed that there were significant differences in the change in mathematics self-efficacy based on gender, ethnicity, high school grade point average, developmental math course enrollment, and optimal mathematics pathway course enrollment. Students enrolled in a general education mathematics course for the fall of 2019 had an overall increase in mathematics self-efficacy. Male students showed greater overall mathematics self-efficacy at the start of the semester; gender was a significant factor in how much mathematics self-efficacy changed. White students had an overall significant increase in mathematics self-efficacy. Other groups with a significant increase were students with a high school grade point average of 3.0 or higher and students enrolled in a three credit-hour developmental mathematics course. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in obstacles that led to less robust data collection following the pandemic. Therefore, the Spring of 2021 data were not sufficient to aid in some of this research study. This research fills a gap in the literature on the mathematics self-efficacy of Missouri mathematics college students, but further research is needed.

Book Synopsis Effects on Students' Self-efficacy in a Mathematics Bridge Program by : Cristella Rivera Diaz
Download or read book Effects on Students' Self-efficacy in a Mathematics Bridge Program written by Cristella Rivera Diaz and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many beginning college students have historically struggled with both developmental and college-level mathematics. This study investigated whether students' self-efficacy for accomplishing mathematics tasks was increased after participating in a mathematics bridge program. The study also explored whether students gained more self-efficacy as a result of participating in an enhanced intervention designed to increase mathematics self-efficacy. Participants included 246 community college students placed into a developmental mathematics course and subsequently enrolled in the college's mathematics bridge program. The bridge program was designed to provide a one-week review session on high school mathematics topics with the goal of students placing into higher-level courses at the end of the session. A survey measuring mathematics self-efficacy was administered to participants both at the beginning and at the end of the bridge program in order to measure the change in math self-efficacy for each participant. The subsequent statistical analysis included a two-way mixed ANOVA focusing on effects of time, group (traditional intervention group or enhanced intervention group), and first-generation student status (first-generation, continuing-generation, or unknown) to examine if students experienced an increase in self-efficacy upon completion of the bridge program. Students provided open-ended responses to the question, "What did you find most helpful about the Math Refresher course?" A content analysis determined the themes that emerged from the data. Students had a significant increase in self-efficacy (p

This book was released on 2012 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Using social cognitive theory and the construct of self-efficacy, this study explored the relationship between mathematics self-efficacy over variable time periods, using Algebra I common assessment scores, Algebra I mid-term grades, and advanced level mathematics course selections. The study included 145 ninth-grade students enrolled in Algebra I at a mid-size southwest Alabama high school. Students' mathematics self-efficacy was measured using the Mathematics Self-Efficacy Scale (MSES). Results of this research indicate that mathematics self-efficacy is correlated to mathematics performance over variable time periods. The ultimate use of these results would be to incorporate what has been learned from this research into practical applications that include interventions designed to improve mathematics self-efficacy.
