- This article examines how student learning is affected by the use of team-based inquiry learning, a novel pedagogy in mathematics that uses team-based learning to implement inquiry-based learning. We conducted quasi-experimental and observational studies in intermediate level mathematics courses, finding that team-based inquiry learning led to increased content mastery and that students took a more flexible approach to solving problems. We also found that in the courses using this pedagogy, women (but not men) had a reduction in communication apprehension over the course of a semester. We conclude that team-based inquiry learning effectively enhances student learning and problem solving, preparing students for future academic success and fostering career readiness.

- Team-Based Inquiry Learning (TBIL) is a novel active learning pedagogy designed to facilitate the use of inquiry-based learning in lower division courses. This preliminary report examines supports provided by the TBIL project to instructors, as well as the fidelity of implementation of TBIL by participants of the project. Initial findings suggest that classroom-ready materials and ongoing support, both synchronous and asynchronous, were most helpful to faculty in their TBIL implementations.

- In this lesson analysis, the topic of the lesson is using operations to calculate the Reduced Row Echelon Form of a matrix. The course context is an introductory linear algebra course taught using Team-Based Inquiry Learning. The instructional challenges we seek to address are: (1) Students often do not see the reasons for why the RREF is a desirable form for a matrix, or why performing row operations is a reasonable thing to do to a matrix; and (2) Students tend to think about row reduction as a computation/algorithm, and we want to shift them into a reasoning/sense making stance about the problem. To address these challenges, we use an approach grounded in Inquiry-Based Learning. Students begin by identifying a set of operations that preserves the solution set of a linear system, and then build intuition around the idea that one linear system may look easier to solve than another even though they have the same solution set, motivating the definition of reduced row echelon form. Students then practice determining if a matrix is in RREF and, if not, identifying row operations that bring it closer to its final RREF.
