Jacob Dasinger

Jacob Dasinger serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Math and Statistics at the University of South Alabama's College of Arts and Sciences, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses ranging from Finite Mathematics to Introduction to Analysis.

His academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Science Education (Mathematics emphasis), University of Southern Mississippi, 2009
• M.S. in Mathematics, University of South Alabama, 2005
• B.S. in Mathematics and Statistics, University of South Alabama, 2002

His research centers on psychological dimensions of mathematics education, specifically examining causal attributions in developmental mathematics and pre-service teacher perspectives on grading. This work bridges educational psychology with practical mathematics instruction, emphasizing motivational factors in learning environments.

His 2013-2014 publications reveal consistent focus on attribution theory within mathematics education, highlighting how students' and teachers' perceptions of academic success influence pedagogical approaches in developmental math and teacher preparation programs.

Current teaching responsibilities include MA 110 Finite Mathematics (online), MA 201/202 Mathematics for Elementary Teachers, and MA 503 Introduction to Analysis, with extensive historical experience across calculus, algebra, and advanced mathematics sequences.
