Research Experience

Funded by a FISAS grant.  This project involved implementation and study of a unique curriculum entitled the Interactive Note-taking System (INS) as a method of instructing Precalculus.  Duties include teaching sections of Precalculus using the INS curriculum, data gathering, and statistical analysis of data.
 

Funded by a Pew Charitable Trusts Grant.  This project involves the redesign of the instruction of College Algebra from a traditional instruction mode to a web-based one, with the goal of achieving better student accomplishment of objectives and subsequently a higher retention rate.  Duties included assisting in the design and subsequent redesign of the curriculum, instructing web-based coursed, data gathering, and statistical analysis of data.

Sponsored by the AASCU (American Association of State Colleges and Universities).  This project currently involves the infusion of technology-based activities into the two content mathematics courses for elementary teachers.  Duties include creation of the activities, design of instruments to measure change, data gathering, and statistical analysis of data.
 

Funded by the National Aeronautics Space Administration.  Duties include leadership and the involvement in the creation of several integrated astronomy and mathematics lessons utilizing NASA resources, the NSTA Science Standards, and the NCTM Standards 2000 document.  This project also involved the collaboration with scientists and K-12 teachers.

January 1997-August 1999: NASA Center for Educational Resources. Montana State University, Bozeman

Funded by National Aeronautics Space Administration. Duties include extensive authoring of World Wide Web pages and integrated science and mathematics lessons utilizing NASA resources, on-line technologies for creating interactivity and database management, and collaboration with scientists and K-12 teachers.

Funded by National Science Foundation. Duties include extensive authoring of World Wide Web pages and integrated science and mathematics lessons made available on the Internet utilizing real-time data, on-line course development, collaboration with scientists and K-12 teachers, and dissemination of materials through conference workshops and presentations as well as article publication in education journals.
