In recent years, schools and teachers have been placed under the microscope and even under attack. Evidence such as the great need for college mathematics courses reviewing preparatory content makes it clear that mathematics learning in North America is far from perfect. The question is, How should we proceed?

Criterion Variables

Most previous studies predicting success in college mathematics have used combinations of measures of intelligence and previous knowledge of mathematics as predictors of grades in mathematics courses. While the prediction formulas derived in these studies were useful for the purposes for which they were developed, in none of these studies was more than about 50 percent of the total variations in the criterion variables attributed to their relationship with the prediction variables.

Traditionally, college mathematics courses have rarely asked students to write or to reflect on their learning, concentrating instead on textbook exercises and problem sets in a lecture format. The intent of this study was to model the use of portfolio assessment in a college mathematics course for preservice teachers while focusing on the contributions of the students' writing in the mathematics classroom. In the study, portfolios were the vehicle for organizing the students' writings.
