Doctoral student, Amy Daniel, and faculty, Dr. Joseph DiNapoli, recently presented findings from an exploratory study at the annual Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education conference in Omaha, NE. Their presentation addressed students’ attitudes and perseverance in problem-solving in undergraduate precalculus. They shared findings that suggested relationships between precalculus instructors’ incorporation of problem-solving, understanding and advancing student thinking, and making connections during class to the development of positive attitudes toward mathematics and improved perseverance in their students.

Amy was the lead presenter and primary researcher. Great job, Amy!
