Interviewing in Educational Research
The Multiple Worlds of Successful Cambodian American Students
Educational policy usually overlooks Cambodian American students as a unique ethnic group, attending instead to the positive statistics that aggregate Asian American students into a single group of successful students. Through ethnographic interviews, this article examines how successful Cambodian American students interpreted values from their multiple worlds in relation to their paths into the university and provides insight into the academical…

Development of Mathematical Communication in Problem Solving Groups By Language Minority Students
This article is an examination of mathematical communication in two algebra classes with ESL students. Using videotaped data, the author found that students in one classroom engaged in very little mathematical communication, most of which was oriented toward simple answers and fragmented procedural descriptions. This is attributed to instructional decisions that minimized the authority and use of small groups, and students' difficulties with the …
Adding Cognition to the Formula for Culturally Relevant Instruction in Mathematics
Although equity is one of the goals of the mathematics reform movement, there has been little research done to develop programs that meet the needs of specific cultural groups. By studying how mathematical knowledge is developed in the course of everyday life, it is possible to change mathematics instruction to enhance mathematical achievement. In a series of research projects with Native Hawaiian children, ethnographic information and cognitive …
Learning by Understanding: The Role of Multiple Representations in Learning Algebra
Prealgebra students learned about functions in a unit that emphasized (a) representing problems in multiple formats, (b) anchoring learning in a meaningful thematic context, and (c) problem-solving processes in cooperative groups. In posttest results, treatment students were more successful in representing and solving a function word problem and were better at problem representation tasks such as translating word problems into tables and graphs t…
