Effect of Technology on Teaching and Learning Mathematics and Science

Emerging technologies afford teachers and students new opportunities to grasp mathematical and scientific concepts, study natural and artificial phenomena both inside and outside their community, and discover alternate pathways into science and mathematics fields. There is a huge need to figure out how technology can/should facilitate learning in these content areas, while simultaneously we are figuring out how technology is changing the content area itself.

In this section of the research seminar we will focus on the principles of quantitative research design and analysis.

During the fall semester you will apply these principles to the design of your own research project. In the spring semester you will collect and analyze data. The data you will collect will have to be primarily quantitative, possibly with some qualitative data used to support and enrich the quantitative core. The end product of your research will be written report and presentation. Participation in the department’s Celebration of Research is a required part of this class.

Students interested in this section should contact Prof. Lyublinskaya at irina.lyublinskaya@gmail.com to set up an appointment.
