| Abstract | YURTSEVEN AVCI, ZEYNEP. Online Tools in an Authentic Mathematics Curriculum and the Impacts on High School Students’ Attitudes and Learning: A Case Study. (Under the direction of Drs. Ellen Vasu and Kevin Oliver.) The purpose of this revelatory case study is to investigate the integration process of the online communication and collaboration tools into high school students’ mathematics education and their impact on student attitudes and learning within an authentic curriculum. This study was completed with four high school classes with two teachers. The data for this multiple case study was collected through classroom observations, student and teacher interviews, document analysis, teacher reflections, and an attitude questionnaire administered to students. The findings of this study suggest that using online technologies for communication and collaboration purposes might have potential to enhance student learning and influence the development of positive attitudes. Although, quantitative impacts in this study were mixed; the majority of the students demonstrated positive attitudes towards using online tools for problem solving and had positive perceptions about the impacts of using online tools on their learning. The research questions were: How do student-student interactions, communication, and collaboration develop with the support of online technologies in an authentic mathematics curriculum? How does interaction, communication, and collaboration via online tools impact on student learning of an authentic mathematics curriculum? In what ways are students' emotional, behavioral, and cognitive attitudes affected by using online tools with an authentic mathematics curriculum at the high school level? Do emotional, behavioral, and cognitive attitudes differ between students using online tools and students using no tools?
