数学课程是大多数(如果不是全部)社区大学课程的基石。然而,这些课程仍然是守门人。情境化是一个很有前途的场所,教师可以通过它打破学生的数学障碍。本研究探讨社区大学生在情境化数学课程中的学习经验,以及这些经验如何塑造成功的动力。我们使用了叙事探究的方法,借鉴了六名学生的故事,他们在中西部一个州的一所两年制大学参加了两门情境化的数学课程。访谈、现场记录和调查数据有助于建立和深化学生的叙述。我们分别呈现了每个学生的叙述,详细描述了他们在情境化数学课上的经历。我们还讨论了主题分析的结果,揭示了六个主题。前三个主题谈到了明确的期望和数学学习路径,挖掘和建立在数学内容和知识,以及个人和小组的工作动态。后三个主题集中在发现和认识数学的效用,建立和翻译数学基础,并将数学置于更广泛的教育和目标中。这项研究提供了经验证据的背景化的潜力,以提高社区大学生的学习经验和数学的成功,特别是在大学水平的数学课程和各种计划领域。
Math courses serve as cornerstones to most, if not all, community college programs. Yet, these courses continue to be gatekeepers. Contextualization represents a promising venue through which instructors might break down math barriers for students. This study explores community college students’ learning experiences in contextualized math classes, and how those experiences shape momentum toward success. We used a narrative inquiry approach, drawing upon the stories of six students enrolled in two contextualized math courses at a two-year college in a Midwestern state. Interviews, field notes, and survey data helped build and deepen the students’ narratives. We presented each student’s narrative individually, detailing their experiences in the contextualized math classes. We also discussed the thematic analysis results, which revealed six themes. The first three themes spoke to clear expectations and learning path in math, digging into and building upon math content and knowledge, and individual and group work dynamics. The latter three themes centered on discovering and recognizing utility of math, building and translating a foundation in math, and situating math within broader education and goals. This study offers empirical evidence on the potential of contextualization to enhance community college students’ learning experiences and success in math, particularly across college-level math courses and various program areas.
