Postsecondary Mathematics Teaching Methods and Practices: A National Study
Page: 1357
This research brief will share the quantitative results of a mixed methods study that explores teaching methods and practices that are known and/or are being utilized by faculty of introductory college-level mathematics courses in the U.S. Using a cluster-random sampling approach, institutions were selected, and department chairs were contacted to forward the survey. The survey contained two inventories and demographic questions. Overall, 113 participants from 37 different states completed the survey. One critical finding was that participants who were members of a professional mathematics organization were more likely to utilize more methods and practices than those who were not members.
