This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative, causal-comparative research was to compare the differences in middle-school student achievement for grade 7 math students among three different learning management systems: Blackboard, Canvas, and Schoology. The instrument was the Virginia Grade 7 Math Standards of Learning test. The population included students in the 7th grade attending a public school in the state of Virginia. The participants were the individual school districts. The study examined the means between the pass rates of the three learning management systems to see if there was a significant difference. The independent variable included the three learning management systems: Blackboard, Canvas, and Schoology. The dependent variable was the student pass rates that were reported to the school districts. The sum of one pass proficient and one pass advanced pass rate for each district was calculated and organized in an excel spreadsheet. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to run a one-way ANOVA. The results revealed that there was no significant difference between the means thus supporting the hypothesis. The study increased the understanding of the difference between the means of three different learning management systems. Finally, it is suggested that future investigations focus on students in K-12 educational settings, face-to-face instruction, and post COVID-19 instruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this correlation research study was to investigate the impact of computer-based learning on middle school math achievement of at-risk students. The participants for this study were drawn from a convenience sample of 83 middle school students located in southeastern Georgia. At-risk middle school students were achieving below their grade equivalent and failing to meet local and state proficiency standards. Computer-based instruction was implemented as an intervention to increase student achievement in mathematics. The study used a pretest-posttest control group design and used SPSS software to conduct the statistical analyses using an ANCOVA and t-test. The results indicated that the use of Math 180 did not result in a statistically significant increase in achievement of at-risk students. However, the observed power for each null hypothesis was very low, indicating the likelihood of a Type II error. Therefore, there may have been an effect of Math 180 on student achievement, but the sample sizes were too small to detect it. This type of intervention may be recommended for continued use; however, future research on other computer-based programs would be beneficial.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine what, if any, relationship existed between Thinking Maps® instruction used as a school-wide strategy and student achievement in middle school students in the area of reading as reported by the Virginia State Standards of Learning Test scores. The association was tested through full implementation and instruction of Thinking Maps® as a school-wide strategy. Using a quantitative design, this ex post facto, causal comparative included a comparison of sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students' Virginia Reading SOL scores from 2011, 2012, and 2013 after schools implemented Thinking Maps® as a school-wide strategy compared to schools that did not. Scores obtained by middle school students who received Thinking Maps℗ʼ instruction were examined for increases in overall mean scores, by gender, and by socio-economic status. These scores were compared to two middle schools that were not using Thinking Maps®.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Tracking Students in Mathematics on Middle School Student Achievement Outcomes by : David P. Glasner
Download or read book The Impact of Tracking Students in Mathematics on Middle School Student Achievement Outcomes written by David P. Glasner and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore whether and how tracking structures in mathematics courses at the middle school level relate to differences in achievement between white and black students. This study used propensity score matching to compare the achievement outcomes of students enrolled in advanced mathematics classes, with students of comparable ability and background enrolled in grade-level math classes. The study sample was comprised of 1,510 students. Results from the study show that enrollment in an advanced-math course was associated with statistically significant improvement in math achievement for average-ability students. In addition, study results show that increases in student achievement associated with average-ability black student enrollment in advanced-level math courses surpass the increases in math achievement outcomes associated with average-ability white student enrollment in advanced-level math courses. These findings have important equity implications because average-ability black students opt to enroll, or are disproportionately placed, in grade-level math as compared to average-ability white students. The findings suggest that increased enrollment of average-ability black and white students in advanced-level math would lead to a reduction in the racial math achievement gap and to improved math achievement outcomes for both black and white students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: United States policymakers have taken measures to improve learning for all students emphasizing the use of scientifically based research in choosing educational programs to promote school improvement and student learning. However, educators, researchers and policymakers debate about which factors are most important in affecting student achievement. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) places major emphasis upon teacher quality as a factor in improving achievement for all students. This emphasis grows out of research showing that teachers' mastery of the academic content they teach is critical to engaging students and is a significant factor in raising levels of student achievement. Middle or secondary school teachers must possess the equivalent of an academic major in the core academic area (107th U.S. Congress, 2002). To meet this need, a key goal of the Cleveland MSP was to increase middle school teacher content knowledge in mathematics through teacher participation in graduate coursework. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of impact that this program had on middle grades student mathematics achievement. In addition, the stability of teaching assignment was investigated. A two- level hierarchical linear model was used to explore the relationship between the teacher and student variables. Over 2500 student cases and over 90 teacher cases per grade level were used for analysis. Results indicated that teacher MSP participation, as a main effect, was significantly and negatively associated with student achievement on the sixth grade OAT-M. In addition, there was a significant positive relationship between teacher MSP participation and student achievement on the OAT-M when students had additional instructional time for sixth and eighth grades. Teacher assignment stability, as a main effect, was significantly and positively associated with sixth grade student achievement on the OAT-M and was significantly and negatively associated with eighth grades student achievement in mathematics when students had additional instructional time. Finally, the main effect of classroom mean prior achievement was significantly and negatively associated with eighth grade mathematics achievement, and classroom mean prior achievement was positively associated with student prior achievement for seventh grade students. As shown in this study, teacher participation in graduate level content coursework can enhance other teacher and student characteristics and thereby contribute to middle grades student achievement in mathematics.
Book Synopsis Short, Medium and Long Term Effects of an Online Learning Activity Based (OLAB) Curriculum on Middle School Students' Achievement in Mathematics by : Rusen Meylani

This book was released on 2016 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public mathematics education is not at its best in the United States and technology is often seen as part of the solution to address this issue. With the existence of high-speed internet, mobile technologies, ever-improving computer programming and graphing, the concepts of learning management systems (LMSs) and online learning environments (OLEs), technology-based learning has elevated to a whole new level. The new generation of online learning enables multi-modal utilization, and, interactivity with instant feedback, among the other precious characteristics identified in this study. The studies that evaluated the effects of online learning often measured the immediate impacts on student achievement; there are very few studies that have investigated the longer-term effects in addition to the short term ones. In this study, the effects of the new generation Online Learning Activity Based (OLAB) curriculum on middle school students' achievement in mathematics at the statewide high-stakes testing system were examined. The results pointed out that the treatment group performed better than the control group in the short term (immediately after the intervention), medium term (one year after the intervention), and long term (two years after the intervention) and that the results were statistically significant in the short and long terms. Within the context of this study, the researcher also examined some of the factors affecting student achievement while using the OLE as a supplemental resource, namely, the time and frequency of usage, professional development of the facilitators, modes of instruction, and fidelity of implementation. While the researcher detected positive correlations between all of the variables and student achievement, he observed that school culture is indeed a major feature creating the difference attributed to the treatment group teachers. The researcher discovered that among the treatment group teachers, the ones who spent more time on professional development, used the OLE with greater fidelity and attained greater gains in student achievement and interestingly they came from the same schools. This verified the importance of school culture in teachers' attitudes toward making the most of the resources made available to them so as to achieve better results in terms of student success in high stakes tests.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Math course placement is a source of continued discrepancy in the United States. Over the past few decades policy initiatives have catalyzed revisions on how and when students are placed into their first Algebra course. Concerns over equity in access and the national goal of fostering a competent STEM workforce have motivated efforts to place more students into Algebra earlier. Students who are not selected into Algebra by the eighth grade, for example, face a blocked pathway to advanced math learning among other outcomes. Thus, efforts have predominantly focused on increasing Algebra course placement in eighth grade, a developmentally sensitive time that carries weight in shaping adolescent students' beliefs, feelings, and goals for mathematics. While an extensive body of research has taken advantage of changing Algebra course placement policies to examine effects on a variety of student outcomes, research has yet to examine how course placement influences students' motivation for mathematics and general states of affect (achievement emotions) in mathematics classrooms.This dissertation seeks to initiate our understanding of how math course placement relates to students' beliefs and feelings about mathematics by examining student reports of beliefs, goals, and achievement emotions within their mathematics classrooms during middle school. The studies presented here forth aim to make a unique contribution to this literature by examining the relation between middle school math course placement and students' motivation for mathematics and affect in middle school mathematics classrooms---and further, relating changes in each to subsequent mathematics achievement. To my knowledge, these studies are the first to reveal information about Algebra course placement and students' motivation and affect as research to date has examined the effects, influences, and associations of Algebra course placement on student cognitive and achievement outcomes.The first study examines the changes in students' goals, expectancy, and value for mathematics for students placed in eighth grade Algebra relative to peers placed in lower-level courses. This study extends analyses to examine whether the changes in students' beliefs and goals in eighth grade relate to changes in achievement. The second part of this dissertation examines student-centered achievement emotions and affect as it surfaces within math classrooms. Achievement emotions and affect carries a significant contribution to the development of motivation and subsequent learning and experiences. For example, a student's experience will inform anticipated emotions for future engagements, which will have an influence on that students' motivation by affecting the choice of activities that he or she chooses to engage in. In Study 2 I examine changes in students' achievement emotions (specifically, anxiety) and general states of positive or negative affect for students placed in eighth grade Algebra relative to peers placed in lower-level courses. In this study, as well as the third study, positive affect is characterized as students reporting feeling excited, interested, enthusiastic, and/or happy in their mathematics class. Negative affect is characterized by students' reports of feeling irritated, bored, and/or exhausted in their mathematics class. The third study examines the association between students' self-rated achievement emotions and affect and mathematics achievement as measured by a state standardized exam.The three studies in this dissertation aim to make a first contribution in the area of math course placement and adolescent motivation for mathematics by relaying information about how math course placement and changes in beliefs, goals, and affect contributes to the changes in students' motivation for mathematics and achievement. The results will provide policy-relevant information that is specifically needed at this time of nascent course placement policy changes that are occurring in light of the recently adopted Common Core State Standards. As schools revise course placement and course taking trajectories, information about influences on the cultivation of students' beliefs and feelings about mathematics carry meaningful utility in light of goals to prepare all students to succeed in an increasingly competitive global economy.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the investigation was to determine if there was a difference in student performance on the NYS Mathematics State Assessment between schools that implemented PBL versus those that did not. The aim was also to determine if there was a difference in students' and teachers' attitudes about the school community, specifically in rigorous instruction and collaborative teachers between schools that implemented PBL versus schools that did not. The last part of the investigation was to see if rigorous instruction, collaborative teachers, and PBL program predicted student achievement scores on the NYS math state test. The middle schools are randomly selected across two districts in New York City, receiving either math instruction through a traditional approach or the PBL method. The superintendent/deputy superintendent approved all schools using the PBL program. The instruments used for analysis include the 2019 Mathematics State assessment and the NYC DOE survey distributed to both the parents and teachers. The two instruments are archived data and are publicly available. The analysis was run on SPSS using the Mann-Whitney U-test and multiple regression. The results revealed a statistically significant difference in the mathematical scores and students' and teachers' perceptions of schools in the PBL and traditional groups. The schools in the PBL group had more incredible significant growth in scores and attitudes than the schools that implemented the conventional approach. Results also showed that collaborative teachers and rigorous instruction did not predict student achievement on the mathematics state assessment. However, the PBL practice did predict student achievement. This helps to show that authenticity, student voice & choice, reflection, critique & revision, and public presentation of projects can help improve student performance on the mathematics state assessments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 has had significant ramifications across public education. Due to reporting mandates, schools and districts are being held publicly accountable for the academic performance and progress of all students. Since implementation of the law, much attention has been focused on the "achievement gap," that is, any differences in performance between groups of students. Students associated with the achievement gap typically come from certain demographics: minorities, low-income families, students with disabilities, and students with limited English proficiency (English Language Learners). The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of using curriculum-based measures (CBMs) on math achievement, particularly ELL students. Eight elementary schools in northwestern New Mexico, divided into two groups (control and experimental) of four schools each, used the same state-approved, core math curriculum, were compared using a quasi-experimental research design. In addition to the regular core curricular materials, the experimental schools were provided with weekly CBMs, containing sample questions developed from the state's performance standards. Each weekly CBM included at least one question from each of the five broad math strands: number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data and probability. Fourth (N = 283) and fifth grade (N = 294) students who had continuous enrollment for the duration of the experiment served as subjects. Successive regular administrations of the New Mexico Standards Based Assessment math subtest served as the pre- and posttest measures. Analysis of covariance tests, with the pretest as the covariate, revealed no significant treatment effects for either the fourth or fifth grade students through the use of CBMs as a supplement to the core math curriculum. The significant effects, supported by previous research, were the school and, especially, the teacher for both grades. In this study, the effects of the classroom teacher were of more importance to student achievement than either the school a child attended or what curriculum program or process a given school employed.
