Learning in the context of math anxiety

Previous studies have examined the effects of math anxiety on working memory and performance. It has been shown that having a high level of math anxiety not only decreases performance, but also interferes with working memory such that the anxiety competes for working memory resources, decreasing the amount of working memory resources available to work on a math task. Previous research has focused on the semantic memory approach, i.e., testing people on what they already know. The current study took this research one step further and looked at learning, specifically stimulus learning, in the context of math anxiety. A well studied lab task, the true/false verification task, was adapted to study learning on the part of individuals who vary in their math anxiety. Some of the addition problems were shown only once to participants while other addition problems were shown nine times. One prediction of this study was that low math anxious individuals would be able to learn more mathematical information across blocks of trials than high math anxious individuals, and would demonstrate this on a recall test of incidental learning after three blocks of making true/false judgments to simple addition problems. Although this learning effect between high and low math anxious individuals was not found, another interesting effect was discovered with regard to the learning recall task. High math anxious participants learned more of the false answers with large splits than the low math anxious participants. This was an unexpected finding, and one inference that could be drawn from this is that low math anxious participants are not looking at the false problems with the large splits long enough to encode them, whereas the high math anxious individuals may be looking at the problem longer, unable to quickly judge it as false

Perceptions by High School Teachers of Mathematical Readiness of Students with Disabilities Transitioning to College

Students with mild/moderate disabilities frequently experience difficulty in mathematics in high school, and thus are often unprepared for math in college. The student researcher conducted a survey examining the perceptions regarding mathematical readiness of such students by professionals who work with them in high school. Participants included 47 high school special education teachers who completed an online questionnaire about the preparedness of students with disabilities in various mathematical constructs (i.e., algebra, geometry, number sense, calculator skills, and study skills) and the importance of those constructs using Likert-type rankings, as well as perceptions of barriers for transitioning to college. Ratings of student preparedness were low, with a variety of perceived barriers related to family, student, system, and teacher factors. A wide range of potential solutions was also offered, including more parent involvement, more study time and perseverance, better teaching/greater accountability from teachers in younger grades, more co-teaching/less pull-out classes, more math labs in upper grades, more math exposure and practice/math every day, and making math more interesting and applicable/gain student buy-in. Results have implications in terms of the need for greater mathematical preparation for students with disabilities transitioning to college, the importance of teacher perception, and for greater communication and collaboration between high school special education teachers and college disability resource center personnel to increase that preparation

Common Core and STEM Opportunities

There is an increasing need for educators at all levels to equip more students with problem-solving skills that better fit our changing work force. Students are largely unaware of many science-, technology-, engineering-, and math-related (STEM) careers. They often do not understand the importance of those careers or what skills are required to pursue them. Students are exposed to some of those skills if they take Career Technical Education (CTE) classes, but rarely do they see the connections in their core math classes. Math teachers have pointed to their dense curricula as making STEM integration impractical. A study of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M), however, reveals open doors for integration. There are specific Algebra I CCSS-M that can be met through STEM-oriented, problem-based learning (PBL). STEM PBL has the potential for increasing students\u27 cognitive engagement while, at the same time, introducing interesting STEM careers. These connections need to be integrated in curricula aligned to the CCSS-M. In order to further develop and implement evolving STEM-PBL connections, there is a need for increased, ongoing dialog between educational leadership and representatives from the STEM working community. The end result can be that most US students will be exposed to a much broader range of STEM careers, STEM skills, and understand how the Algebra they learn is useful in the real world

A New Trend in Human Reproduction - Women in the USA

The control a woman is allowed to have over her own reproductive system has been a recent popular topic of debate. Since the 1950\u27s, women have made up over half of the total United States population. With women making up the majority of the country\u27s citizens, it would be quite the contradiction for them to not have the right to make decisions about their own bodies. Over the last two decades many contraceptive and medical advances have assisted in a woman\u27s ability to make her own choice. An interesting trend in childbearing has occurred from this new wave of technologies. This project will dive in and explore some of the possible explanations of this current phenomenon.

Pembuatan Permainan Adventure Brain Challenge

Utilization of appropriate technologies and strategies will improve learning outcomes optimally. Many jobs in the education world by computer-assisted work, ranging from typing, math, browsing on the internet, and as a media of learning. The term learning media can be regarded as a tool for learning. Therefore made the game media to increase public knowledge and can also be a means for entertainment.In this study designed a game that has some features and mini-games. The measures include moving system making level, features mini-games, load and save system, collision detection with bounding box method, NPC, and set items. Applications created using ActionScript 3.0 programming language and Adobe Flash CS6 as IDE. The result showed the success of the mini-games, thoroughness and diligence in designing a map, display of objects, as well as gaming systems affect the final outcome of the application. The number of objects and the more detailed the manufacture and preparation of the object will increasingly make the game even more interesting

Fluctuations of quantum fields via zeta function regularization

Explicit expressions for the expectation values and the variances of some observables, which are bilinear quantities in the quantum fields on a D-dimensional manifold, are derived making use of zeta function regularization. It is found that the variance, related to the second functional variation of the effective action, requires a further regularization and that the relative regularized variance turns out to be 2/N, where N is the number of the fields, thus being independent on the dimension D. Some illustrating examples are worked through.Comment: 15 pages, latex, typographical mistakes correcte
