Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose . School reform has led educators to consider nontraditional ways of looking at teaching and learning to determine what is most beneficial for students. Looping is a two year placement of students with the same teacher. Offering students and families the stability of a long term relationship with a teacher builds trust and community. This study compared second grade students in looping and nonlooping classrooms. Students, teachers, and parents provided data in the areas of (a) academic achievement, (b) student perceptions of feelings about the classroom and academic motivation, and (c) the influence of student/teacher/parent relationships. Research questions . (1) Does classroom teacher continuity impact student academic achievement? Do students who have experienced looping have higher achievement levels than students who have not looped? (2) Does classroom teacher continuity affect student perceptions of feelings about the classroom and academic motivation? (3) What do looping teachers see as the advantages and disadvantages of looping as determined by a teacher survey? How does looping affect student academic progress and social relationships with students, parents, and other educators? (4) What do parents see as the advantages and disadvantages of looping as determined through parent surveys and a parent small group meeting? Procedures . A quantitative analysis using ANOVA assessed academic achievement, student perceptions of feelings about the classroom, and academic motivation. A qualitative analysis was used to analyze survey responses from teachers and parents concerning looping. Results . The only statistically significant difference found between looped and nonlooped students was in the area of language arts achievement. Parents were very supportive and felt looping promoted the cognitive, affective, and social growth and development of their children. Parents felt their children experienced less stress, felt more comfortable with the teacher, and had a positive attitude toward school due to caring relationships. Teachers saw many social benefits involving student and parent relationships. Teachers felt a looping classroom required more organization, planning, and professional development to implement the program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looping is defined as a practice where teachers and students stay together for more than one year. The purpose of this study was to examine effects of looping on perceived values and academic achievement in language arts at an elementary school. This study used questionnaires to investigate perceived values of looping teachers, students, and their parents. Academic performance on Grade Level Assessment of Standards (GLAS) between looping and nonlooping students was compared and analyzed for significant differences. Looping was found to be perceived as a positive value. Four significant differences favoring looping students were found on language arts measures of writing strategies, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential text unpacks major transformations in the study of learning and human development and provides evidence for how science can inform innovation in the design of settings, policies, practice, and research to enhance the life path, opportunity and prosperity of every child. The ideas presented provide researchers and educators with a rationale for focusing on the specific pathways and developmental patterns that may lead a specific child, with a specific family, school, and community, to prosper in school and in life. Expanding key published articles and expert commentary, the book explores a profound evolution in thinking that integrates findings from psychology with biology through sociology, education, law, and history with an emphasis on institutionalized inequities and disparate outcomes and how to address them. It points toward possible solutions through an understanding of and addressing the dynamic relations between a child and the contexts within which he or she lives, offering all researchers of human development and education a new way to understand and promote healthy development and learning for diverse, specific youth regardless of race, socioeconomic status, or history of adversity, challenge, or trauma. The book brings together scholars and practitioners from the biological/medical sciences, the social and behavioral sciences, educational science, and fields of law and social and educational policy. It provides an invaluable and unique resource for understanding the bases and status of the new science, and presents a roadmap for progress that will frame progress for at least the next decade and perhaps beyond.

This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare the academic achievement of students in looping programs from school systems in East Tennessee to their peers in traditional one-year instructional programs. Looping is defined as any program design that perpetuates a cohesive student group with the same teacher for more than one year. The study included all students who had completed fourth grade in 2001 at every school in East Tennessee that implemented a third/fourth grade looping design. Student scores reported for 1999, 2000, and 2001 on the TerraNova Standardized Achievement Test were obtained from individual student records. Comparisons were made on the Total Reading, Total Language, Total Math, and Total Battery scores. Differences between program design groups (looping and traditional) on "pre-looping" second grade (1999) scores were assessed using t-tests for two independent groups. Two-way Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), was used to examine the main effects of program design and student gender on 2000 and 2001 test scores, along with program design x gender interactions, while controlling for prior test score differences. The findings suggested that students in looping classrooms benefited academically by remaining with the same teacher and classmates for two successive years. Significant main effects were detected for program design in first year comparisons, as indicated by significantly higher scores on all four subtests. Scores for those in the looping classrooms remained significantly higher in second year comparisons on each subtest, except Total Language, even after controlling for third grade (2000) test scores. Significant main effects for gender were detected after the first year of participation in each design. This included significantly higher Total Language and Total Battery scores for female participants. No significant differences by gender were detected when scores were compared on the four subtests at the end of the two-year cycle. A program design x gender interaction was detected at the end of the first year. This interaction showed that female participants in looping classrooms showed higher Total Math achievement. A program design x gender interaction also occurred after the second year where male participants in the looping classrooms obtained higher Total Language scores.

Download or read book Visible Learning written by John Hattie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-11-19 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique and ground-breaking book is the result of 15 years research and synthesises over 800 meta-analyses on the influences on achievement in school-aged students. It builds a story about the power of teachers, feedback, and a model of learning and understanding. The research involves many millions of students and represents the largest ever evidence based research into what actually works in schools to improve learning. Areas covered include the influence of the student, home, school, curricula, teacher, and teaching strategies. A model of teaching and learning is developed based on the notion of visible teaching and visible learning. A major message is that what works best for students is similar to what works best for teachers – an attention to setting challenging learning intentions, being clear about what success means, and an attention to learning strategies for developing conceptual understanding about what teachers and students know and understand. Although the current evidence based fad has turned into a debate about test scores, this book is about using evidence to build and defend a model of teaching and learning. A major contribution is a fascinating benchmark/dashboard for comparing many innovations in teaching and schools.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study whose purpose was to determine if the practice of classroom looping (where a teacher moves with a class from one grade to the next, while the teacher previously teaching the higher class cycles to pick up a new class) affected the academic achievement scores at a Minnesota inner-city elementary school. Reading and math academic achievement score comparisons were used, based on the Stanford Achievement Test Series 10 (SAT10). The target population consisted of 38 students from looping classrooms at School A,and 33 students from non-looping classrooms at School B. Looping students had been with the same teacher for two consecutive years. Non-looping students, in traditional one-year classrooms, had attended School B for two years. Fifth-grade examination scores from the spring of 2005 were compared with gains made on the sixth-grade examination scores from the spring of 2006. Academic progress in reading and math was measured for these students through causal-comparative regression analysis. The results of this study indicated no statistically significant academic difference in reading levels between looping and non-looping students. Because of the small sample size, a Type II error may be a possibility; a longer and larger study would need to determine the accuracy of these results. The study's results did, however, indicate a statistically significant academic difference in math gain scores between looping and non-looping students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to motivating people to learn, disadvantaged urban adolescents are usually perceived as a hard sell. Yet, in a recent MetLife survey, 89 percent of the low-income students claimed "I really want to learn" applied to them. What is it about the school environmentâ€"pedagogy, curriculum, climate, organizationâ€"that encourages or discourages engagement in school activities? How do peers, family, and community affect adolescents' attitudes towards learning? Engaging Schools reviews current research on what shapes adolescents' school engagement and motivation to learnâ€"including new findings on students' sense of belongingâ€"and looks at ways these can be used to reform urban high schools. This book discusses what changes hold the greatest promise for increasing students' motivation to learn in these schools. It looks at various approaches to reform through different methods of instruction and assessment, adjustments in school size, vocational teaching, and other key areas. Examples of innovative schools, classrooms, and out-of-school programs that have proved successful in getting high school kids excited about learning are also included.
