Why do people shift their strategies for solving problems? Past work has focused on the roles of contextual and individual factors in explaining whether people adopt new strategies when they are exposed to them. In this study, we examined a factor not considered in prior work: people's evaluations of the strategies themselves. We presented…

Wang, Lu – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2021
Prior research showed a gender effect on spatial ability, math anxiety, and math achievement. Lacking, however, is a comprehensive study that tested the mediation effects of spatial ability and math anxiety between gender and math achievement in a sequential mediation model. To fill this gap, this pilot study tested two mediation relationships,…

Haciomeroglu, Erhan Selcuk; Haciomeroglu, Guney – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2020
The present study sought to examine mathematical performance of students with different learning preferences in traditionally taught first semester calculus as well as its relationship with learning preference, spatial ability, and verbal-logical reasoning ability. Data were collected from 86 students enrolled in two sections of first semester…

Hart, Sara A.; Daucourt, Mia; Ganley, Colleen M. – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2017
In this study, we explore student achievement in a semester-long flipped Calculus II course, combining various predictor measures related to student attitudes (math anxiety, math confidence, math interest, math importance) and cognitive skills (spatial skills, approximate number system), as well as student engagement with the online system…

Kolar-Begovic, Zdenka, Ed.; Kolar-Šuper, Ružica, Ed.; Jukic Matic, Ljerka, Ed. – Online Submission, 2017
The papers in the monograph address different topics related to mathematics teaching and learning processes which are of great interest to both students and prospective teachers. Some papers open new research questions, some show examples of good practice and others provide more information about earlier findings. The monograph consists of six…

Spatial Training for Calculus Students: Sex Differences in Achievement and in Visualization Ability.
Peer reviewedFerrini-Mundy, Joan – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1987
Investigated were the effects of spatial training on calculus achievement, spatial visualization ability, and the use of visualization in solving problems on solids of revolution. Sex differences were found favoring women in calculus achievement and men in spatial visualization ability. (MNS)

Peer reviewedCritchlow, Carol M. – Mathematics Teacher, 1999
Calculus students have great trouble visualizing solids of revolution and their cross sections. Illustrates the use of props in order to help students understand the solid revolution. (ASK)

PDF pending restorationDick, Thomas P.; Balomenos, Richard H. – 1984
Structural covariance models that would explain the correlations observed among mathematics achievement and participation measures and related cognitive and affective variables were developed. A sample of college calculus students (N=268; 124 females and 144 males) was administered a battery of cognitive tests (including measures of spatial-visual…
