Anna Caroline Keefe – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Computer-assisted assessment continues to be incorporated into more and more mathematics courses. As this method of testing is used, questions are created to use through computer-assisted assessment. This study analyzed two types of questions used on computer-assisted assessment in Calculus I, II, and III courses. The first question type was…

Olsho, Alexis; Smith, Trevor I.; Eaton, Philip; Zimmerman, Charlotte; Boudreaux, Andrew; White Brahmia, Suzanne – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
We developed the Physics Inventory of Quantitative Literacy (PIQL) to assess students' quantitative reasoning in introductory physics contexts. The PIQL includes several "multiple-choice-multipleresponse" (MCMR) items (i.e., multiple-choice questions for which more than one response may be selected) as well as traditional single-response…

Allison Dorko; John Paul Cook; Isaiah DeHoyos – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2023
In an online asynchronous vector calculus course, we observed exam answers solved with a formula from online homework instead of the formula from lecture. Our exploratory study investigated (1) why students learned from homework instead of lecture for this topic and (2) their epistemological frames (e-frames) for lecture and homework. Per (1),…

Alayont, Feryal; Karaali, Gizem; Pehlivan, Lerna – PRIMUS, 2023
In calculus courses, instructors often use the end-of-section problems in a textbook in homework assignments or other course assessments. As a result, these problems influence the teaching and learning of calculus. In this study, we examine the levels of cognitive demand of these problems in a mainstream calculus textbook and classify them within…

Savic, Miloš – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Taking the challenges presented by shifting to online instruction mid-semester due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, I tried to utilize prompts on discussion boards as test questions. The prompts for these questions were to create a triple integral satisfying certain conditions, and when a person posted their integral, no one else could use the…
