This book was released on 2014 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of using the calculator as a standard accommodation during the instruction and assessment of students with learning disabilities has not been sufficiently investigated. The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of the calculator in grades 6, 7 and 8, as a standard accommodation during math instruction and assessment contributed to improved performance for students with learning disabilities. These students struggled with math and received special education services in this academic area before and during the use of the accommodation. The researcher also investigated whether the effect of this accommodation varied with the type of special education program awarded (inclusion, resource, self-contained). The theoretical foundation of the study was cognitive deficit theory that focused on working memory deficits. A quantitative, causal-comparative research design was conducted using archival data from a small school district to compare the performance of the students with learning disabilities on the grade level state standardized assessment before the implementation of the calculator as a standard accommodation and afterwards. The results of paired samples t tests and a two-way mixed ANOVA were statistically significant, showing that students who used the calculator performed at a higher level. The special education program did not influence the effect of using the calculator; all students with learning disabilities benefited from using this accommodation. The implications of these findings suggest that calculators allow students with learning disabilities to learn key concepts by addressing the cognitive deficit challenges of retrieving basic math facts.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Reform Instruction on Student Mathematics Achievement by : Thomas A. Romberg
Download or read book The Impact of Reform Instruction on Student Mathematics Achievement written by Thomas A. Romberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-08-15 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summarizing data derived from a four-year combined longitudinal/ cross-sectional comparative study of the implementation of one standards-based middle school curriculum program, Mathematics in Context, this book demonstrates the challenges of conducting comparative longitudinal research in the reality of school life. The study was designed to answer three questions: What is the impact on student performance of the Mathematics in Context instructional approach, which differs from most conventional mathematics texts in both content and expected pedagogy? How is this impact different from that of traditional instruction on student performance? What variables associated with classroom instruction account for variation in student performance? The researchers examined a range of variables that affected data collection. These variations highlight the need to study the effects of the culture in which student learning is situated when analyzing the impact of standards-based curricula on student achievement. This book is directed to educational researchers interested in curriculum implementation, mathematics educators interested in the effects of using reform curriculum materials in classrooms, evaluators and research methodologists interested in structural modeling and scaling of instructional variables, and educational policy makers concerned about reform efforts.

Book excerpt: Graphing calculators are mainstay in the U.S. high school mathematics curriculum and because of that considerable research has been done on the effect of graphing calculators in the math classroom. Until recently most of the research on graphing calculator use in mathematics education has either been quantitative in nature, focusing on student achievement and attitude, or qualitative focusing on the teaching and learning of a particular mathematical topic (Choi-Koh, 2003; Ellington, 2003; Forester & Mueller, 2002; Smith & Shotsberger, 1997, for example). In addition, there is a growing body of research on how students are adapting graphing calculator technology to their mathematical learning (Artigue, 2002; Drijvers, 2000; Guinn and Trouche, 1999). However, none of this work addresses how students use the graphing calculator when they are working in independent situations or their perceptions of how the graphing calculator impacts their mathematical experience. My work aims to attend to this gap in the research. This dissertation reports on a mixed methods study with data consisting of survey data (n = 111) and in-depth interview data compiled from six case studies. The case study students participated in a task based interview and a stimulated response reflection interview. Particular attention was paid to both the affective and mathematical aspects of graphing calculator use. The data indicates that AP Calculus students value the ability to change the cognitive demand of tasks, the ability to engage in mathematical play, to check their written solutions, and to manage time effectively when doing mathematics. All of the students reported that using the graphing calculator in each of these ways provides them with both a mathematical and affective pay-off. Most surprising is that the ways in which the students value using their graphing calculators to solve problems does not coincide with their perceptions of what it means to 'do math' in a school setting. This result suggests that in the continuing discussion of how and if graphing calculators should be incorporated into school mathematics and assessment it is important to address this inconsistency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of TI-Nspire graphing calculator use on student achievement and on teacher behavior variables of planning, teaching, and assessing. This study investigated the teaching of functions by teachers using the TI-Nspire graphing calculator versus teachers using a non-graphing scientific calculator. A review of the literature found that the emergence of calculators and computers has changed the way mathematics is both done and used (Ellington, 2006; Thorpe, 1989; & Kieran, 1992). Research also showed that students can effectively use a graphing calculator as an instructional tool to make and understand different types of representations (Choi-Koh, 2003; Colgan, 1993; and Drijvers & Doorman, 1996). Other studies have shown how graphing calculator use has engaged students in higher level thinking skills (Dessart, DeRidder, Charleen, & Ellington, 1999; Ellington, 2006; Graham & Thomas, 1998; Keller & Hirsch, 1998; Huntley, Rasmussen, Villarubi, Sangtong, & Fey, 2000; & Ronau et al., 2008). Since it is a relatively new tool, there is a limited amount of research on the classroom use of the TI-Nspire. The TI-Nspire is designed to link together multiple-representations within a single problem, so the concept of functions is an ideal context within which to study the impact of the TI-Nspire. This was a quasi-experimental study. The researcher gathered and analyzed pretest, post-test, and post post-test data on student performance on function concepts. The study included a 90 minute classroom observation of each class as well as document analysis of weekly questionnaires, daily lesson plans, and daily assessments. Vignettes employed classroom observations, document analysis, and thick description to triangulate the results of the qualitative analysis. During the summer prior to this study, all teachers attended 12 hours of training over the course of two days with a National Texas Instruments Instructor in which they were trained to use the TI-Nspire graphing calculator. Teachers were then given a TINspire, TI-Nspire emulator and access to online Atomic learning video training (Atomic Learning, 2011), to continue their exploration of the TI-Nspire. The week prior to the study, the teachers attended another day of professional development activity taught by a Texas Instruments Trained Cadre member. This "Function Focused Session" was six hours long and provided review on the TI-Nspire, specific training about teaching the function concept with the TI-Nspire, and time to create lesson plans and activities for this study. During the two weeks of treatment and two weeks of follow up, teachers met once a week for "Weekly Touchdown Sessions" a 90 minute meeting held after school to complete a weekly questionnaire, turn in lesson plans, assessments, and receive further professional development on the TI-Nspire. Providing a trained Texas Instruments Instructor on a weekly basis to answer questions, assist in providing direction for the following week, and meeting weekly with the teachers to complete questionnaires were vital strategies necessary to support teachers with this new technology tool and to assure their fidelity in treatment implementation and control maintenance. All professional development sessions were taught by Texas Instruments trained Instructors. The results from four teachers, each with one treatment class using the TI-Nspire and one control class using a non-graphing scientific calculator, were significant on the pre-test with the control group having a higher mean score than the treatment group and statistical significance on the post post-test with the treatment group having a higher mean score than the control group. While there was a statistically significant effect of Teacher Zeta on the post-post test in comparisons with the other teachers, most of the teacher effect was controlled for within the design of the study. To control for teacher effect, all teachers taught both a treatment and a control class. For each teacher, one of their two algebra classes was randomly assigned to treatment and the other was then assigned to control. There was not enough power in the data to properly analyze the effect of socioeconomic status and special education. This study supports the use of TI-Nspire graphing calculators in Algebra classrooms while studying the concept of functions. This study shows that, while using the TI-Nspire graphing calculator, the use of multiple representations and higher Depth of Knowledge activities can be used to improve student achievement, and impact classroom teaching, and lesson planning. While this study shows the impact of the TI-Nspire graphing calculator for the concept of functions, further research is needed to continue evaluating the impact of the TI-Nspire across additional mathematics topics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Facing the Consequences presents a perspective on US mathematics and science education that is developed from data gathered as part of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). TIMSS is the most extensive and far-reaching cross-national comparative study of mathematics and science education ever attempted. It includes comparing official curricula, textbooks, teacher practices, and student achievements for many countries (from 20 to 50 countries, depending on the particular comparison). Thousands of official documents and textbooks were analyzed. Thousands of teachers, principals, and other experts responded to survey questionnaires. A sample of mathematics teachers in three countries had their lessons videotaped. Hundreds of thousands of children in almost 50 countries were tested in mathematics and science. This report presents a closer look at US mathematics and science education through careful examination of TIMSS data. The authors believe this investigation shows how deceptive many often unquestioned assumptions about American education can be. Drawing upon many new analyses not previously reported and integrating these with previous analyses of TIMSS data, the authors develop and illustrate the argument that what happens to American students is the consequence of American beliefs that shape educational practice and the accretion of a myriad educational choices made in mathematics and science education.

This book was released on 2018-11-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Pedagogy - Common Didactics, Educational Objectives, Methods, grade: 2.7, Education University of Hong Kong (Department of Asian and Policy Studies - Education University of Hong Kong), course: CUM3002 Comparative Curriculum and Pedagogy Studies, language: English, abstract: The implementation of using calculators in the Irish Junior Certificate Mathematics curriculum and examinations brought about discussions about its impact on students' performance and learning attitudes. To compare the difference before and after implementation, we adopted experimental-type studies to find out the influence. There are two groups of Grade 9 students: the pre-intervention group and the post-intervention group. The research discovered that phase II students (using the calculators) got better Mathematics results and they thought using calculators can reduce the frequency of making mistakes. Despite such contribution, phase I students thought using calculators make students lazy. Based on our research, compulsory use of calculator in Mathematics education is a good decision, as it improved students' Mathematics performance and students became more motivated to learn. The most important reason of this is because students think using calculator can help them save more time.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine what impact the use of calculators has on children's construction of mathematical knowledge in the researcher's second grade classroom. Calculators were purchased in volume by this school system. Most teachers have not been trained to use the calculators in their classrooms. Therefore, students were only allowed to use them in checking computation. Some teachers did not allow their students to use them at all. With so much controversial information about using calculators with young children, this study was created to determine if the calculator was a learning tool or a handicap that hindered the acquisition of mathematical knowledge. The specific question guiding this research was "What impact did using calculators have on students' problem solving?".
