معرفی
Paula Stickles serves as a Professor of Mathematics at Millikin University within the School of Mathematics & Computational Sciences, where she focuses on advancing pedagogical practices in mathematics education through rigorous scholarship and classroom innovation.
Her research centers on mathematics education, with particular expertise in college algebra instruction, secondary mathematics methods, and teacher development. Key investigations include the efficacy of online homework systems, textbook necessity in foundational courses, authentic teaching experiences for pre-service educators, and the integration of technology in mathematics instruction. Her work consistently addresses practical challenges in mathematics teaching across secondary and post-secondary contexts, emphasizing evidence-based approaches to curriculum design and assessment.
Analysis of her 14 publications (2006-2017) reveals a cohesive research trajectory focused on improving mathematics instruction through empirical studies of teaching tools, resource allocation, and pedagogical strategies. Her scholarship spans methodological diversity—from Markov chain analyses of games to semiotic examinations of classroom culture—while maintaining practical relevance for mathematics educators.
Dr. Stickles has no documented scientific awards in the provided materials.
