Stradtmann, Amy A. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Motivation and engagement are often barriers to literacy for adolescent readers.

Gholson, Maisie L.; Martin, Danny B. – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
While race, class, and gender are often treated as well-defined and static identities within mathematics education research, we explore gender, race and class as performances through the case of a middle school Black girl, Cameryn. Scenes from video artifacts are deconstructed using a hermeneutic process to reveal how Cameryn positions herself as…

In the tradition of hermeneutic phenomenology, this case study involved an exploration of the oral discourse and visual texts used in a mathematics lesson. This research was intended to contribute to the…

Bourgeois, Steven J.; Boberg, John Eric – RMLE Online: Research in Middle Level Education, 2016
A substantial body of research has shown that academic intrinsic motivation/cognitive engagement decreases from grades three through eight (Lepper, Corpus, & Iyengar, 2005). This phenomenon is troubling if education is to be viewed as a process through which learning goals become gradually internalized and connected with one's sense of self.…

The following questions guide our research: first, what meanings do Estonian and Finnish students gain from curricular facts? And…
