Mathematics Through the Lens of Service-learning
Page: 1601
In this poster, we report on a study conducted at a midwestern private liberal arts university where researchers incorporated service-learning into a non-major mathematics course. Data reveal students felt more confident learning mathematical concepts because of its real-world application in the community. Additionally, students reported an increase in the value of mathematics and its importance in societal reforms.
