Title: Informal Settings: Implications for Secondary Mathematics Teachers' Abilities to Recognize and Apply Mathematics

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to describe the ways in which situating learning experiences for mathematics teachers in informal sites, specifically in the science museum, assist them in recognizing mathematics in the real world and developing instructional math to help their students make connections between school mathematics and its real world applications. The study took place in the Museum of Science and Industry (MSI), in Chicago, IL. Seven teachers (six female and one male) certified by their state to teach secondary mathematics (grades 6-12), pursuing a Masters in Mathematics Education degree at a private Midwest university, volunteered to participate in the study. Ethnographic methods (e.g., audiotapes of instruction, students’ written work) of data collection and analysis were used to capture teachers’ learning in the context of MSI exhibits (Lave, 1988). Lave’s methodology considers “person-acting (in setting) as an integral unit of analysis” (Lave, 1988, p. 180). Accordingly, the data collection and analysis were organized around two tasks: identifying mathematical concepts represented in the exhibits and creating lesson ideas to address identified mathematical concepts. The data collection included audiotapes of the group discussions around the exhibits, teachers’ Mathematics Concepts and Curriculum Connections (MC3) cards, and teachers’ reflections papers completed at the end of the study. The process of data analysis consisted of multiple interpretative passes through the data. An ethnographically grounded approach to discourse analysis (Gee and Green, 1998) was used as a framework for the analysis across data types. viii The results of the study showed that over the course of the study, teachers began to change their approach to identifying mathematics in the exhibits in two ways. In particular, the teachers realized that the obvious representations of mathematics, such as the appearance of numbers, geometric shapes and geometric figures in the exhibits were not vital to identifying mathematics. Additionally, teachers began to realize that learning about mathematical concepts could be done through exploration of scientific phenomena. The results also showed that once the teachers recognized mathematical concepts in an informal site, they were able to create lessons to address those concepts, as well as to identify where in the curriculum they could use the activities to enhance students’ learning. However, the support of the school administration and curriculum is necessary in order for teachers to incorporate informal education applications into their mathematics instruction.

Title: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ACCULTURATION AND HELP SEEKING ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIOR OF ASIAN INDIANS IN THE UNITED STATES

Show moreThe Asian Indian population in the United States continues to expand rapidly. At the same time, little research exists that has examined the overall mental health needs of this group or how their level of acculturation affects their help seeking attitudes and behaviors. Research on Asian Americans (of which Asian Indians are a sub-group) that has assessed how acculturation affects help seeking attitudes and utilization behavior has yielded inconsistent results. One possible explanation for the discrepant findings may be due to the way acculturation has been conceptualized and measured. Specifically, most studies have measured acculturation unilinearly, while current research shows that acculturation may be best measured as a bilinear construct. The purpose of the present study was to assess the influence of acculturation on the help seeking attitudes and professional utilization behavior of Asian Indians living in the United States using a bilinear measure of acculturation. The study sample consisted of 266 Asian Indians currently living in the United States. Acculturation was assessed bilinearly using the Asian American Multidimensional Acculturation Scale (AAMAS; Chung, Kim & Abreu, 2004), that allowed for classification into one of four acculturation groups: integrated, assimilated, separated, and marginalized. Help seeking attitudes was measured using the Inventory of Attitudes Toward Seeking Psychological Services (IASMHS; Mackenzie, Knox, Gekoski & Macaulay, 2004), and a demographic questionnaire assessed utilization behaviors and participants’ backgrounds. Results indicate that integrated and assimilated individuals demonstrated more positive help seeking attitudes than separated and marginalized individuals, while no difference was found among the groups in terms of their professional utilization behavior. Implications of the findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Show moreIn this dissertation we discuss several topics in statistics concerning regression models, experimental design and optimization. When it is expensive to compute a function value via numerical simulation, obtaining gradient values simultaneously can improve model e ciency. In the rst and second parts, polynomial regression models with gradient information are considered. We propose an orthogonal polynomial basis with respect to an inner product involving gradients of functions, to eliminate the illconditioning of the design matrix caused by Hermite polynomial basis. Through a simpli ed nuclear reactor model, we show that compared with Hermite polynomial basis, the orthogonal polynomial basis results in a better-conditioned design matrix, and a signi cant improvement when basis polynomials are chosen adaptively, using a stepwise tting procedure. In the second part, the design problem for polynomial regression models with gradient information is addressed. A theoretical upper bound is derived on the scaled integrated mean squared error in terms of the discrepancy of the design, and this bound can be used to choose designs that are both e cient and robust under model uncertainty. Numerical experiments show that low discrepancy designs, whose empirical distribution functions match a xed target distribution, outperform random and Latin hypercube designs. Considering a speci ed regression model, we propose a relaxed optimization problem, which is a semide nite programming problem, to nd the optimal design that minimizes scaled integrated mean squared error. Numerical examples demonstrate the eligibility of the method by showing that the optimal designs we achieve coincide with the already known optimal designs for regression model without gradient information. In the third part of the dissertation, the optimal layout of wind farm is considered. To maximize the expected annual pro t gained by the wind farm, we seek for both optimal number of wind turbines and optimal positions of wind turbines based on Jensen's model. Wind speed and direction are considered as random variables with distribution approximated by empirical distribution from real data. We propose using particle swarm optimization to solve for the optimal layout of wind farm. At last, the situation that more wind turbines are added to an existing wind farm is discussed.
