Mathematics Anxiety and the Instructional Triangle: A Case Study of Remedial College Instructors
Doctoral dissertation, Valdosta State University. 2020
Njeri Pringle, Ed.D.
Approximately 80% of community college students and 25% of four-year students taking mathematics courses in post-secondary institutions struggle with moderate to high math anxiety, and 67% of two-year and 44% of four-year students are remedial noncompleters “no degree and not enrolled” (Chen, 2016, p. 35). Tobias (1993) stated that it makes no difference if the failure occurs in a K-12 or college course; failure is both instant and frightening (1993, p. 50). Tobias (1993) connected students’ anxiety and their avoidance of degrees and or occupations that required mathematical tasks. As remedial courses serve as the gateway for students to access core and degree earning courses, remediation is pivotal in a students’ college career.

Adapting Instructional Strategies for Online Courses
​Doctoral dissertation, Valdosta State University. 2020
Njeri Pringle, Ed.D.
With the rise of online learning due to COVID-19, understanding its challenges and benefits is crucial. Motivating students can be difficult without adequate technology, yet online platforms offer personalized and emotionally engaging experiences. Online learning enhances accessibility, allowing students to work at their own pace and access courses from any location. However, the physical distance can reduce a sense of community. Implementing strategies like personalized content, motivational messages, and opportunities for student interaction through videoconferencing can mitigate these challenges and foster a supportive online learning environment. For more practical strategies, see the "Digital Teaching Strategies" section.
