Persistent Learning, Critical Teaching: Intelligence Beliefs and Active Learning in Mathematics Courses

Over the past several decades, social psychologists have built a substantial body of evidence showing that beliefs about the nature of intelligence have a major impact on motivation and achievement. Such beliefs generally fall into one of two types. The belief that each individual has a fixed ability in mathematics is referred to as a fixed intelligence belief. The belief that individuals are c...

Mathematics Teaching and Learning

Eighty years ago, L. S. Vygotsky complained that psychology was misled in studying thought independent of emotion. This situation has not signifi cantly changed, as most learning scientists continue to study cognition independent of emotion. In this book, the authors use cultural-historical activity theory as a perspective to investigate cognition, emotion, learning, and teaching in mathematics...

Augmenting Mathematics Courses by Problem-Based Learning

We describe a project that aims to motivate undergraduate engineering students to participate more in mathematics courses. Our approach shares characteristics of active, project-based and problem-based learning. We have developed interactive projects that deal with the mathematics behind real-world applications. In this paper, we describe one example project in detail, and discuss our guiding p...
