IIER 10: Yates (2000) - Task involvement and ego orientation in mathematics achievement: A three year follow-up The six item ego orientation in mathematics scale was analysed with the Rasch procedure using the 1993 data from 328 subjects from Grades 3 to 7. Achievement in mathematics in 1993 was strongly predictive of achievement in mathematics in 1995. Overall, goal orientation in mathematics as measured by the task involvement and ego orientation constructs was not related to Grade level or gender except in the case of ego orientation in 1995, where a significant gender difference was evident. www.iier.org.au /iier10/yates.html   (3953 words)

Indiana Wesleyan University College of Arts and Sciences   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) The mission of the mathematics program is to academically and spiritually prepare students of mathematics for careers in public and private sectors, graduate study or research. The major in mathematics is intended to provide students a solid foundation for pursuing further study in mathematics or equipping students for careers in education, industry or government. As many professionals use mathematical concepts in their work, a minor in Mathematics combined with other majors is an excellent preparation for graduate studies in statistics, computer science, economics, or business. cas.indwes.edu /Natural_Sciences_Mathematics/Mathematics.htm   (480 words)

Richmond - The American International University in London - Orientation Orientation is a time prior to the start of classes when you check-in with the university, get settled into accommodation, carry out various tasks leading to advisement and registration for courses, meet faculty and administration and, best of all, make new friends. The university believes it is crucial for all students new to Richmond to attend Orientation. Orientation also helps you with all the essential practicalities of living on campus and in the UK, such as registering to use the Computer labs and library, paying your fees, registering with a doctor, and opening a bank account. www.richmond.ac.uk /content/student-affairs/orientation.aspx   (490 words)

Santa Barbara City College - Mathematics It also serves students who want to remedy their high school mathematics background deficiencies, as well as students who are returning to the classroom after a period away from school. Because mathematics is such a precisely structured discipline, students who have not acquired adequate skills and understanding at one course level will find it most difficult to succeed in the next higher course.

Last check: 2007-11-06) Students often times take the Mathematics Placement Test with little understanding of how to approach the taking of this test or of how helpful the results can be in scheduling freshman mathematics courses. The test score is simply a statistical prediction of your success in different levels of mathematics courses at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke.

orientation Many students choose CEPS as their college because mathematics and science are their favorite subjects in high school, even though they are unsure about their choice of a major. Although TECH 400 is required for undeclared majors in CEPS, we advise any student to take this course to explore other majors or to confirm their interest in the major they have chosen. It is important that you begin your UNH experience in the mathematics course that is right for you. www.unh.edu /orientation/cepscollegepage.html   (769 words)

USC: Orientation and Testing Services These tests are administered by the Office of Orientation and Testing on two weekend dates in April, the day before each Summer Orientation session, and just prior to January and August Orientations. As a courtesy for current USC students who have missed the regular testing dates, and who have no placement score, the Placement test will also be administered by the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures. As the individual colleges are the authority, transfer students should refer to the Exemption chart, or contact their academic advisor for guidance. orientation.sc.edu /pt.htm   (649 words)

Cartesian coordinate system Summary In mathematics, the Cartesian coordinate system is used to uniquely determine each point in the plane through two numbers, usually called the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of the point. If the index finger of the right hand is pointed forward, the middle finger bent inward at a right angle to it, and the thumb placed at a right angle to both, the three fingers indicate the relative directions of the x-, y-, and z-axes in a right-handed system. It may be interesting to note that some have indicated that the master artists of the Renaissance used a grid, in the form of a wire mesh, as a tool for breaking up the component parts of their subjects they painted. www.bookrags.com /Cartesian_coordinate_system   (3956 words)

Curve orientation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The concept of orientation of a curve is just a particular case of the notion of orientation of a manifold (that is, besides orientation of a curve one may also speak of orientation of a surface, hypersurface, etc.). Here, the interior and the exterior of a curve both inherit the usual orientation of the plane. The positive orientation on the curve is then the orientation it inherits as the boundary of its interior; the negative orientation is inherited from the exterior. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Curve_orientation   (175 words)

[No title] For this student, he said, the procedure is the mathematics, and her procedural orientation blocks her from thinking. Mathematics for such students, like those in Boaler’s study, was not about making sense. What I have come to believe very strongly is that students must keep a sense-making perspective in every aspect of their mathematics education and that computational fluency develops out of that orientation. www.ed.gov /about/bdscomm/list/mathpanel/2nd-meeting/presentations/harter-randy.doc   (624 words)

[No title] An important thing presented in the first week of lectures was the mathematical usage of "if/then" and "only if",---a majority of the students seem to think at first that "if" means "if and only if"---so they could read the textbook correctly. They accept that inherent to mathematics is the need to decide what to do to solve a problem, to make distinctions and choices, to reject ideas that are fallacious, and to persist when one's first attempt doesn't work. But if we are to get serious about resolving the difficulties our students are having in learning mathematics, we must first address the issues that really matter most, namely the low expectations that many of them hold when they arrive in college and their overestimation of the effort that they are putting in. www.math.jhu.edu /~sz/Education/Learnkr3.html   (5507 words)
