  2. Developmental Studies Department, Math Presenters • Amity Jetton • Instructor, 5 yrs • Science Background • Previous DEV student Eric Kraus • Associate Professor • DEV and MAT courses

  3. To share and discuss pedagogy that enhances students’ learning experiences in developmental mathematics. Purpose

  4. Purpose • What is MyMathLab? • Focalized lectures • More time for group activities • Can technology-integrated instruction be helpful to developmental students? • Multimedia online textbook accompaniment • Non-traditional approach • How does MyMathLab improve student performance? • Stimulate student engagement • Restructure student learning responsibilities

  5. DEV STUDENT CHARACTERISTICS • Prepares students for further study in mathematics • effective study strategies • variety of teaching/learning experiences • Pre-algebra • Perform basic arithmetic for whole numbers, fractions and decimals • Develop computational skills, number-sense, and problem-solving • Beginning algebra • Simplify algebraic expressions • Solve simple linear equations and applied problems • Factor trinomials • Typical Student • Low retention rate • Under-prepared • Non-responsive to course predominantly in lecture format

  13. MML Curriculum Support • Student development • Shorter lectures • Peer-to-peer • Inclass tutoring • Hybrid instruction • Department standardization

  14. Discover Discuss Lecture Assess Inquiry Apply Read Tutor STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY Self reliance • Work independently • On-demand assistance • Peer-to-peer exchange • Experience connection between tasks and achievement

  15. Assessment & Evaluation Assessment measures learning readiness, progress, and outcomes. Evaluation includes the determination of a grade or a decision regarding pass/fail for an individual assignment or for a course. • For Students • Allows multiple attempts • Instant student feedback • Instant student grading • Student gradebook • Group Presentations • For Instructors • Consistent performance standards • Ability to set prereq’s and time-schedule • Monitor progress • Access individual work • Automated grading

  16. STUDENT Responses • “It has [helped] me to understand how to work a problem out that I couldn’t get before” • “It has definitely helped…I can go back and review homework and print quizzes...” • “I can work at my own pace which helps…” • “If I don’t understand a problem it explains step-by-step.” • “…it can show you how to break things down.” • “I believe its just extra work.” • “…I can get lost on those explanations.”
