Book excerpt: The present project investigated tertiary mathematics students' perceptions of their learning environment, and whether such perceptions were linked with achievement. Perceptions were evaluated using the University Mathematics Learning Environment Questionnaire, developed as part of the research, and including forms directed to the actual learning environment and the preferred one. The questionnaire showed satisfactory reliability, and scales formed by factor analysis of the items discriminated between groups whose environment showed observable differences. Discrepancies between actual and preferred environment scores were significant, in a direction indicating agreement between students' preferences and perceptions hypothesized as favourable. Multiple regression showed strong correlation between learning environment questionnaire scores and students' achievement. An additional independent achievement comparison was made, between two enrolment groups that had observable differences in their learning environments, as well as significantly different learning environment scores. Results found significantly higher achievement in the group that showed more favourable perceptions of their learning environment.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this transcendental phenomenological study was to describe the essence of student perception of learning introductory mathematics courses in an online environment at the college level. The central research question was, “What are the lived experiences of students who have completed introductory college mathematics courses in the online learning environment?” The phenomenon described was that of the beliefs and attitudes of the students who participated in introductory mathematics courses on the college level. The ideas explored were if students believe they learn effectively in this environment and how they believe they can best learn. Student beliefs and attitudes about learning online mathematics were defined as student perception. Thus, the central research question addressed the lived experiences of students who have completed introductory college mathematics courses in the online learning environment. The theory guiding this study was Bandura’s social learning theory. The specific part of this theory as it related to the study is that of self-efficacy. Data was obtained through interviews, questionnaires, and focus group discussions. Eleven students who had completed an introductory mathematics course in a college online environment were selected for this study using criterion sampling. Data was coded and emerging themes were identified. The findings of this study show that students who participate in learning introductory mathematics in the online environment in higher education desire the flexibility and convenience of the online schedule but want the connectedness to instructors offered in the traditional setting. The goal of this study was to provide information to college administrators and instructors in order to improve the teaching of introductory college mathematics courses in the online environment.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proficiency in mathematics is essential for success in college, career, and life (Reyna & Brainherd, 2007). As a nation, the United States has struggled for decades to strengthen math achievement and to define proficiency in math (Schoenfeld, 2004). An important but often overlooked component of proficiency is math disposition (Kilpatrick, Swafford, & Findell, 2001; NCTM, 1989). Students who lack a productive math disposition often exhibit lower performance in math, lack academic self-efficacy, suffer from math anxiety, and do not pursue higher levels of mathematics (Boaler, 2014; Bouchey & Harter, 2005; Fennema & Sherman, 1978; Reyes, 1984). The purpose of this sequential, explanatory, mixed methods study was to examine the relationship between classroom learning environment (CLE) and the math disposition of third graders attending public schools in a small, suburban district in the Northeast. The study assessed students’ perceptions of classroom environment and math disposition through a combination of surveys and responsive interviews (Rubin & Rubin, 2011). While interest in the area of learning dispositions has increased, few studies have focused on elementary students in the United States. The following research questions were explored: 1. What is the relationship between classroom learning environment (personalization, participation, independence, investigation and differentiation) and disposition (enjoyment of mathematics and self-efficacy) in mathematics? 2. Is there a significant difference between males and females with respect to disposition in mathematics? 3. Is there a significant difference between males and females with respect to classroom learning environments? 4. To what extent and in what manner is variability in self-efficacy explained by classroom learning environment? 5. How do students describe elements of classroom learning environment that contribute to productive math disposition? This study sought to expand the body of research regarding how CLE relates to math disposition. Significant finding were found relating to personalization, participation, and independence, and four salient themese emerged. Educators may benefit from understanding how these elements of classroom enviroment may relate to productive math disposition (PMD). By improving CLE, more students may delelop PMD, which may lead to more enjoyment of math and greater interest in higher-level mathematics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing impact of performance based judgments on schools and teachers in the classroom has its critics and supporters. Some oppose the trend and seek to deny the importance of quantitative measures. Others have sought to find ways of implementing educational measurement constructively and with understanding of the concerns. Classrooms are where the operational business of learning takes place and it is on the quality of life within the classroom that the broader process of learning, concerns for the wider community and others, is nurtured. The climate of the classroom has a large impact on the final outcome measure to which so much interest is directed. To help our understanding of the dynamics involved much work has been done in the development and refinement of quantitative studies to this area by studying essential information about how teachers and students perceive the environments in which the work. Research on classroom climates has reached a practical and theoretical maturity and this volume offers an account of the developments that have taken place and the potential for understanding the classroom as a vital component of the curriculum. This book will also be an essential resource tool for anyone engaged in classroom research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between research and practice has long been an area of interest for researchers, policy makers, and practitioners alike. One obvious arena where mathematics education research can contribute to practice is the design and implementation of school mathematics curricula. This observation holds whether we are talking about curriculum as a set of broad, measurable competencies (i.e., standards) or as a comprehensive set of resources for teaching and learning mathematics. Impacting practice in this way requires fine-grained research that is focused on individual student learning trajectories and intimate analyses of classroom pedagogical practices as well as large-scale research that explores how student populations typically engage with the big ideas of mathematics over time. Both types of research provide an empirical basis for identifying what aspects of mathematics are important and how they develop over time. This book has its origins in independent but parallel work in Australia and the United States over the last 10 to 15 years. It was prompted by a research seminar at the 2017 PME Conference in Singapore that brought the contributors to this volume together to consider the development and use of evidence-based learning progressions/trajectories in mathematics education, their basis in theory, their focus and scale, and the methods used to identify and validate them. In this volume they elaborate on their work to consider what is meant by learning progressions/trajectories and explore a range of issues associated with their development, implementation, evaluation, and on-going review. Implications for curriculum design and future research in this field are also considered. Contributors are: Michael Askew, Tasos Barkatsas, Michael Belcher, Rosemary Callingham, Doug Clements, Jere Confrey, Lorraine Day, Margaret Hennessey, Marj Horne, Alan Maloney, William McGowan, Greg Oates, Claudia Orellana, Julie Sarama, Rebecca Seah, Meetal Shah, Dianne Siemon, Max Stephens, Ron Tzur, and Jane Watson.

This book was released on 2013-09-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Learner's Perspective Study ascribes to the premise that the investigation of social practice within the mathematics classrooms must attend to the learners’ practice with at least the same priority as that accorded to the teachers’ practice. In focusing on student voice within this partnership, as enacted in many different guises across different cultures and socio-political learning environments, we hope that we will be better informed to understand the relationship between pedagogy and learning mathematics, and between pedagogy and the empowerment of diverse learners. Research findings from the Learner's Perspective Study reported in this book and its companion volumes affirm just how culturally-situated are the practices of classrooms around the world and the extent to which students are collaborators with the teacher, complicit in the development and enactment of patterns of participation that reflect individual, societal and cultural priorities and associated value systems. In this book, we attend closely to this collaboration with our focus on the voice of the student. Collectively, the authors consider how the deliberate inclusion of student voice can be used to enhance our understandings of mathematics classrooms, of mathematics learning, and of mathematics outcomes for students in classrooms around the world. The Learner’s Perspective Study aims to juxtapose the observable practices of the classroom and the meanings attributed to those practices by classroom participants. The LPS research design documents sequences of at least ten lessons, using three video cameras, supplemented by the reconstructive accounts of classroom participants obtained in post-lesson video-stimulated interviews, and by test and questionnaire data, and copies of student written material. In each participating country, data generation focuses on the classrooms of three teachers, identified by the local mathematics education community as competent, and situated in demographically different school communities within the one major city. The large body of complex data supports both the characterization of practice in the classrooms of competent teachers and the development of theory.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to analyse the differences between upper-stream, lower-stream and mixed-ability mathematics classes in terms of student perceptions of their classroom learning environment. Both quantitative and qualitative data has been collected from students while qualitative data only was collected from pre-service teachers, practising teachers and parents. The sample for the quantitative data collection was comprised of 581 Year 9 and 10 students in 36 different classes taught by 28 different teachers in 7 schools covering 4 states of Australia. All of the schools are private schools and part of the Seventh-day Adventist school system. The questionnaire used an actual and preferred form of the 56 item version of the What is Happening in the Classroom? (WIHIC) survey along with 10 questions from the Test of Science Related Attitudes (TOSRA) modified for mathematics classrooms. For the qualitative data collection 40 interviews and 8 focus groups were conducted. Apart from comparing upper and lower-streams, other variables examined were: actual and preferred perceptions of the classroom learning environment, Year 9 with Year 10, males with females, English speakers with second language students, and attitudes with perceptions of learning environments. The most significant finding of the study was not only that lower-stream students have a more negative perception of their classroom learning environment, but that they seek less change. This negative perception is seen to be worse in Year 10 than Year 9, particularly in the areas of teacher support and task orientation. This study found a positive correlation between attitude and perceptions of classroom learning environment. This study also found a tacit acceptance of streaming as a practice by most participants in the study.
