We Can Improve Math Success with Math Study Skills, Anxiety Reduction, and Appropriate Accommodations: They Are Not Like You
Spring 2023
More Details
Math students are entering universities with a more diverse range of skills and backgrounds. We need to understand the new difficulties/variables affecting learning math and the solutions. Research indicates that non-cognitive learning variables such as math study skills, anxiety reduction, test-taking skills and self-regulated learning have improved math success. Understanding how different disabilities such as SLD, ADHD, TBIs, and PTS and their processing deficits affect math learning leads to improved accommodations, instruction, and tutoring. This workshop will discuss these areas, give examples, strategies along with course substitutions and alternatives. There will also be time for Qs and As.

If you're looking for some just-in-time training or want to dig a little deeper into a specific topic of interest, MTSU subscribes to both Teaching Professor ("reflects the changing needs of today's college faculty and the students they teach") and Academic Leader ("reflects the evolving needs of academic deans, department chairs and heads, program directors, and others with leadership responsibilities") online publications. If attempting to access either publication off-campus, you'll be asked to enter your MTSU credentials.
