Title of Talk | Introducing College Algebra Students to the IBL Learning Style |
Abstract | Learning driven by student curiosity is more difficult in a setting such as College Algebra, where students typically have lower moral for learning math effectively. The purpose of this talk is to propose a general guideline for understanding the problems of students in College Algebra and address these problems using some IBL techniques. Here are some noted problems framed as student responses: "I hate/am not good at math”, “Can I cancel these?”, "I don't know how to start this", and "This problem wasn't on the homework/practice quiz, so I didn't know how to do it on the quiz/test". I will suggest learning techniques to help students tap into their curiosities without relying solely on teacher intervention to solve problems as is true to the IBL style of learning. I will also discuss some intermediary results of implementing some strategies in a blackboard section of College Algebra in Fall 2019 at the University of Iowa. |
