Appendix A3: Study Methods for Student Surveys A3.1 Introduction We used two survey instruments to measure student outcomes from inquiry-based learning in undergraduate mathematics and to compare these outcomes between various student groups‚ in particular‚ between IBL and non-IBL students. The attitudinal survey was designed to detect the quality of and changes in students’ mathematical beliefs‚ affect‚ learning goals‚ and mathematical problem-solving strategies. The learning gains survey (SALG-M)

Learning & Memory 1. Learning Learning = relatively permanent change in behaviour due to experience 1. Learning • Definition implies learning takes place when there is change in behaviour • But changes in behaviour do not always mean learning has taken place • If we look at the definition the changes has to be permanent • This means it has to be long lasting as a result of experience • Most human behaviour is learned behaviour • We will discuss 3 types of

The simplex method is used regularly on applied problem involving thousands of variables and problem constrains (Barnett‚ Ziegler‚ & Byleen‚ 2011). This was the method chosen when Wintel Technologies needed to figure out the best way to utilize time and schedule for their field engineers. With a busy schedule and being needed on several different areas in the United States‚ the simplex method was brought in to decide where and when employees should be spending their time and the company’s money.

Delphi method∗ Abstract The Delphi method was originally developed in the 50s by the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica‚ California. This approach consists of a survey conducted in two or more rounds and provides the participants in the second round with the results of the first so that they can alter the original assessments if they want to - or stick to their previous opinion. Nobody ‘looses face’ because the survey is done anonymously using a questionnaire (the first Delphis were panels)
