Passing the introductory calculus sequence is critical to undergraduate students' retention in STEM programs. This study examines the relations between three interrelated processes found to influence mathematics learning and achievement: spatial skills, spatial anxiety, and math anxiety. Additionally, it examines the role of gender on these…

Direct linkStepan Paul; Dusty Grundmeier; Deborah Moore-Russo – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2024
In this university study, sections of an integral calculus course were randomly assigned to either a control or treatment group for a lesson on volumes of revolution. Both groups were given similar collaborative tasks, but only the students in the treatment group were given access to a set of 3D manipulatives. Pre- and post-assessments were…

Nieberding, Megan; Heckler, Andrew F. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
We have investigated the temporal patterns of algebra (N = 606) and calculus (N = 507) introductory physics students practicing multiple basic physics topics several times throughout the semester using an online mastery homework application called science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fluency aimed at improving basic physics…

Soysal, Dilek; Bani-Yaghoub, Majid; Riggers-Piehl, Tiffani A. – Pedagogical Research, 2022
The relationships between math anxiety and other variables such as students' motivation and confidence have been extensively studied. The main purpose of the present study was to employ a machine learning approach to provide a deeper understanding of variables associated with math anxiety. Specifically, we applied classification and regression…

Leyva, Luis A.; Quea, Ruby; Weber, Keith; Battey, Dan; López, Daniel – Cognition and Instruction, 2021
Undergraduate mathematics education can be experienced in discouraging and marginalizing ways among Black students, Latin* students, and white women. Precalculus and calculus courses, in particular, operate as gatekeepers that contribute to racialized and gendered attrition in persistence with mathematics coursework and pursuits in STEM (science,…

Kalender, Z. Yasemin; Marshman, Emily; Schunn, Christian D.; Nokes-Malach, Timothy J.; Singh, Chandralekha – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Students' intentions to persevere and their career choices in science, technology, engineering, and math fields can be impacted by their physics identities. Women are severely underrepresented at all levels in physics and engineering. Physics in particular has stereotypes about being a discipline for brilliant men. Therefore, it is particularly…

Stricker, Lawrence J. – College Entrance Examination Board, 1998
Steele and Aronson (1995) found that the performance of African-American subjects on test items portrayed as a problem-solving task, in a laboratory experiment, was adversely affected when they were asked about their ethnicity. This outcome was attributed to "stereotype threat". Performance was disrupted by the subjects' concerns about…
