Book excerpt: Individuals need the academic knowledge and skills that equip them to succeed in today's economy. Almost 90 percent of new jobs require more than a high school level of literacy and math skills. The knowledge content of work is increasing, education is the key to maintaining a competitive edge, and everyone in society benefits when student achievement in primary and secondary school increases. The Third International Math and Science Study (TIMSS) compared performance in mathematics and science by a half-million students worldwide at age ranges corresponding roughly to grades 4, 8, and 12, including 33,000 Americans. While U.S. students at the fourth-grade level were near the first in the world in science, and were above the international average in mathematics, by the eighth grade, U.S. performance had fallen to slightly above the international average in science and to below the international average in mathematics. The message of TIMSS is that the U.S. still has a long way to go to ensure that all children achieve at world-class levels.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Association of Colleges and Universities reports that over 50% of the students entering colleges and universities are academically under prepared; that is, according to Miller and Murray (2005), students "lack basic skills in at least one of the three fundamental areas of reading, writing, and mathematics" . Furthermore, approximately 30% of the students in a state university undergraduate quantitative business course fail or withdraw from the course. The purpose of this study was to explore non-cognitive and cognitive factors that may be related to the academic success of those students enrolled in the course. To this end, a survey was conducted, collecting the perceptions and opinions of 301 undergraduate college of business students with regard to relevant constructs such as cognitive load, mathematics and general self-efficacy, math anxiety, and motivation. Additional data were collected from the students' transcripts. Findings revealed that the significant cognitive factors contributing to the academic success were the overall GPA of the students as well as the average of their grades in the two prerequisite courses. The statistically significant non-cognitive factors related to the final exam score were the students' perceived levels of cognitive load and mathematics self-efficacy. A moderating effect of mathematics self-efficacy was revealed between the final exam score and overall GPA; however, other selected potential moderators of the final exam score and cognitive load were not significant. Post-hoc analyses verified no significant difference in the final exam score for gender or race; however, a statistically significant difference was found on cognitive load for different instructors. The findings emphasized the importance of prior knowledge and instructional design as both are sensitive to cognitive load (Mayer & Moreno, 2003; Sweller, 1999). The implications of the findings resulted in the recommendation that the students' prior knowledge should be addressed through appropriate advising as well as pretests at the onset of the course. Finally, the course instructors should take into consideration various instructional design techniques to reduce cognitive load. Recommendations are made for future practice with a focus on inclusive pedagogical methodologies and further research directions with promising potential predictors.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Improving college performance and retention is a daunting task for colleges and universities. Many institutions are taking action to increase retention rates by exploring their academic programs. Regression analysis was used to compare the effectiveness of ACT mathematics scores, high school grade point averages (HSGPA), and demographic factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status for predicting final grades in students' first mathematics courses at Spring Hill College. The results of this study were examined to validate whether the current system for placing students in first-year mathematics courses is successful. Data was used from 870 student records for the freshman fall cohorts from 2008 to 2010. Students were enrolled in Intermediate Algebra, Precalculus, or Calculus I. The results of the study indicate that ACT mathematics score, HSGPA, age, and gender were all statistically significant predictors of students' grades in their first-year mathematics courses with HSGPA the best predictor of all. It was recommended that admission counselors and mathematics department faculty place students in freshmen mathematics courses based on HSGPA, ACT mathematics scores, and the number of mathematics courses taken in high school but with a much stronger emphasis on HSGPA.

Book Synopsis A Plan for Increasing Student Success in Business Calculus at Delaware State University by : Sherman Nathaniel Miller

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1990s, the failure rate of business students at Delaware State University in both finite mathematics and business calculus courses reached an estimated fifty percent. In response, students were given Blackboard assignments and an algebra placement examination to establish the classes' academic preparation for handling both finite mathematics and business calculus courses. During blackboard assignments, students were required to write out the instructions and problems before attempting to develop answers. It became apparent that significant textbook reading deficiencies existed in both courses. The algebra placement examination highlighted a significant background deficiency in fundamental algebraic concept knowledge. These academic background deficiencies in reading and algebra suggested that direct instruction may have needed augmentation to meet the needs of a background deficient population. A teaching research effort was undertaken to find teaching variants on direct instruction or to propose alternative teaching methods to help background deficient populations become successful in finite mathematics and business calculus courses. The lecture teaching style was assessed where it was learned that lecturing should stay under 50 percent of the class period for both finite mathematics and business calculus and classroom activities should occupy the remainder of time to avoid problems with students maintaining their attentiveness. The material coverage in the courses following an exponential teaching model was assessed where the initial portion of the semester focused on filling in background deficiencies, and in the later portion there was an accelerating material coverage pace. Experiments were run dropping test scores on one test to evaluate the impact on student dropout rates that suggested only the first or second test should be dropped to avoid good students becoming mediocre performers when they realize they have earned an "A." Some good students may fail to master the higher-level material in the course if they lose their focus in the latter portion of the semester. Course dropout rates ran roughly ten percent. The use of direct instruction was found to be satisfactory for teaching finite mathematics when used along with three teaching supplements: the Modified Bragg Grading System, the Exponential Teaching model, and a capstone project. In an assessment of direct instruction with background deficient business calculus students it was concluded that the significant algebra background need was too high to port the finite mathematics-teaching model over to business calculus. Students were put into teams to work on class assignments where the teacher selected what team member would present the team's work on the blackboard to insure individual accountability. Teams anchored with academically strong students proved to work well with business calculus coupled with the exponential teaching model and the Modified Bragg Grading system. Employing the Wulff misalignment model of the student's mathematical background deficiencies, course content, and teacher teaching style offers a framework for insight into some future actions that Delaware State University may want to take. Recommendations are offered including: (1) hiring a faculty teaching consultant, (2) developing workshops on the cooperative learning style of teaching, (3) expanding the registration system to control students taking courses without necessary prerequisites, (4) giving instructors a copy of student course taking history, (5) offering teaching consultancy to instructors with high student failure rates, (6) granting tenure based on teaching excellence, (7) apprising students of consequences for course dropping decisions, (8) suggesting to teachers the need to teach reading, and (9) empowering instructors to drop students for non-attendance in class. A detailed discussion of the improvement effort covering both finite mathematics and business calculus is in Appendix C, "Demystifying Business Calculus: Teaching with a Practical Business Mindset." A key achievement in this improvement effort is to encourage both finite mathematics and business calculus students to pursue academic excellence instead of exploiting a "just passing" strategy.
