The purpose of this pre/post-intervention quantitative experimental study was to investigate the effects of a sequence of lessons grounded in the principles of culturally relevant pedagogy on students enrolled in a college algebra course at an HBCU. In particular, the paper focuses on the interaction between these lessons and academic achievement (students' ability to learn, process, and affinity towards the subject they are learning about) with regards to students' grades and their views about mathematics. Two classes of students, an experimental group and a control group, engaged in mathematics lessons that were grounded in rigorous mathematical teaching practices; but the experimental course received lessons that also incorporated principles of culturally relevant pedagogy. Results indicated that students in the experimental course showed significant quantitative gains on the various measures related to academic achievement and self-efficacy in mathematics.

This study sought to determine the effect of the problem-solving approach on academic achievement of students in mathematics at the secondary level. The secondary school students studying mathematics constituted the population of this study. The students of 10th class of Government Pakistan Girls High School Rawalpindi were selected as a sample for the study. Sample size consisted of 48 students who were equally divided into an experimental group and a control group on the basis of pre-test. Treatment of the planned problem-solving approach is the guideline of Sherreen (2006) and Polya’s (1945) heuristic steps of the problem-solving approach. After the treatment, post-test was used to see the effects of the treatment. A two-tailed t-test was used to analyze the data, which revealed that both the experimental and control groups were almost equal in mathematics base at the beginning of the experiment. The experimental group outscored the control group significantly on the post-test.

    The effect of using differentiated teaching strategy in the development of creative thinking skills in second secondary students in the subject of mathematics and improve attitudes towards it. To achieve the objective of the study, the researcher prepared a teacher's guide for the use of differentiated teaching strategy in teaching mathematics of the second secondary grade, , as the researcher prepared a measure of attitudes towards interpretation, The researcher used quasi- experimental approach. The study sample consisted of (80) students divided into four groups (2) experimental (male and female) and (2) control (male and female), the experimental group has been taught using differentiated teaching strategy while the control group did not use this strategy, and in the end of the experiment the Torrance Verbal Test of Creative Thinking and the trends measurement were applied on the experimental and control groups. The results of the study showed a statistically significant difference between the average scores of the experimental and control groups students in applying Torrance creative thinking test in each skill of the three creative thinking skills and on the test as a whole. As well as the trends scale towards mathematics of these differences for the experimental group students who have studied using the differentiated teaching strategy. As the results of the study showed no statistically significant differences between the average scores of the experimental group and control group students due to the variable gender. In light of the results, the researcher made a number of suggestions and recommendations.

The experiment concerned the hypotheses that the frequency of self-accepting responses to questionnaire items can be increased by standard verbal conditioning techniques and that this increase generalizes to similar but novel questionnaire items as well as to items indicative of more positive attitudes toward others. Two comparable forms (Forms A and B) of a scale of self-acceptance and acceptance-of-others were used. Form A of the scale, consisting of 18 self-acceptance items and 14 acceptance-of-others items, was administered to 400 R.C.A.F. personnel. The 60 lowest scorers on the self-acceptance items were selected and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Each member of the experimental group was conditioned to a pre-determined criterion on the 18 self-acceptance items of Form A of the scale. Members of the control group received the same treatment except that reinforcement of responses was withheld. Immediately after the conditioning procedure, each S completed 50 questionnaire items drawn from Forms A and B of the scale. The results are interpreted as demonstrating that attitudes which are theoretically relevant to social interaction can be modified by means of verbal conditioning techniques.

Learning achieved by students in their first course of mathematics at the university reflects a low achievement, which is especially observed in the topic of the parabola. Due to this problem, the objective of improving the academic achievement of students in that topic, through a didactic strategy based on semiotic representations, was proposed. To this end, a quantitative inquiry was carried out, with a pre-test post-test design, on both a control group and an experimental group. There, a total of 44 students, of an average age of 19 years who were taking the subject of Mathematics Foundations, participated. It was found that the gain between the post-test and pre-test measurement was significantly higher (p<0.01) in the experimental group with respect to the control group, where the conventional strategy for the course was being used. It is concluded that it is possible to improve the learning of the parabola in students through the strategy based on semiotic representations, and that it is highly recommended to apply it for the learning of other mathematical objects in the basic sciences courses of the engineering division.
