A survey of Mathematics Learning Support in the United States

Abstract

Abstract Mathematics Learning Support (MLS) has been widely available in Higher Education Institutions in the United States (US) for decades. However, until recently, there has been little research that considered the extent of provision. In this paper, we present the results of a survey of MLS with responses from 268 institutions across the US, which indicate that such support is well established across responding institutions. To place these results in context, we compare them to other recent international surveys of provision. We discuss what these findings mean and the collaborative opportunities that are available for US and international practitioners and researchers in this area.
