Bill Martin, professor and head of the School of Education, has received funding from the National Science Foundation for research on teaching and learning about undergraduate mathematics.
The project will examine learning in a setting that coordinates student and instructor attention to both mathematics content and theoretical frameworks for the learning of mathematics during an upper-division linear algebra course.
He also had a paper accepted for publication in an international linear algebra journal. The article is titled "Integrating Learning Theories and Application Based Modules in Teaching Linear Algebra."
Martin is working on research with Sergio Loch from Grand View University, Laurel Cooley from City University of New York Graduate Center, Scott Dexter from Brooklyn College University of New York and Draga Vidakovic from Georgia State University.
