Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This ex post facto study used archival test data to answer this research question: "Are there significant differences in academic growth in reading and mathematics among groups of students who make a school transition between grades three and seven and groups of students who do not?" The independent variable in the study was school transition (between third and seventh grades); the dependent variables were students' academic growth in reading and mathematics, as measured by test scores on North Carolina's End-of-Grade Tests in 1997-98 and 1998-99. Four variables were used to identify a matched "non-transition school" for each "transition school": socioeconomic status, school size, district size, and location in the state. T-tests were used to test for significant differences in the mean growth scores in both reading and mathematics between the transition and non-transition groups of schools at each grade level, and effect sizes were calculated to further examine the differences. At each of the four points of school transition, two null hypotheses were tested. The findings indicate that at all four points of transition, students in the transition groups scored lower in both reading and mathematics than did their peers in the non-transition groups and that the difference in test scores was statistically significant at the .01 or .05 level in each comparison. Moreover, using Cohen's definition of effect size, one effect size was found to be "large", five were found to be "medium" in size, and two effect sizes (the reading and mathematics growth scores for students who made a school transition between fifth and sixth grades) were found to be "small."

Book excerpt: This ex post facto study used archival test data from the North Carolina Testing Program to answer the research question: Are there significant differences in the mean academic performance scores in reading and mathematics for a constant group of sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students who are in a K-8 school organizational pattern as compared to a constant group of sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students who are in a K-5, 6-8 school organizational pattern and transition schools at the end of grade five? Four 2 X 4 split-plot repeated measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to test for significant performance differences between the "Transition group" and the "Non-Transition group" using reading and mathematics percentiles and achievement levels as measures. The independent variable was school organizational pattern (K-8 or K-5 and 6-8). The dependent variables were academic achievement level and percentile growth in reading and mathematics. Three null hypotheses were tested for reading percentiles and achievement levels and for mathematics percentiles and achievement levels. The findings in this study indicated that students in the Transition group performed lower in reading percentile and rate of passing the End-of-Grade test (achievement levels) than their Non-Transition peers. The findings in this study also indicated that statistically significant differences existed in both the percentile and achievement levels in the mathematics area.

This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perspectives on Transitions in Schooling and Instructional Practice examines student transitions between major levels of schooling, teacher transitions in instructional practice, and the intersection of these two significant themes in education research. Twenty-six leading international experts offer meaningful insights on current pedagogical practices, obstacles to effective transitions, and proven strategies for stakeholders involved in supporting students in transition. The book is divided into four sections, representing the four main transitions in formal schooling: Early Years (Home, Pre-school, and Kindergarten) to Early Elementary (Grades 13); Early Elementary to Late Elementary (Grades 48); Late Elementary to Secondary (Grades 912); and Secondary to Post-Secondary (College and University). A coda draws together over-arching themes from throughout the text to provide recommendations and a visual model that captures their interactions. Combining theoretical approaches with practical examples of school-based initiatives, this book will appeal to those involved in supporting either the student experience (both academically and emotionally) or teacher professional learning and growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book brings together for the first time an international collection of work focused on two important aspects of any young child’s life – learning mathematics and starting primary or elementary school. The chapters take a variety of perspectives, and integrate these two components in sometimes explicit and sometimes more subtle ways. The key issues and themes explored in this book are: the mathematical and other strengths that all participants in the transition to school bring to this period of a child’s life; the opportunities provided by transition to school for young children’s mathematics learning; the importance of partnerships among adults, and among adults and children, for effective school transitions and mathematics learning and teaching; the critical impact of expectations on their mathematics learning as children start school; the importance of providing children with meaningful, challenging and relevant mathematical experiences throughout transition to school; the entitlement of children and educators to experience assessment and instructional pedagogies that match the strengths of the learners and the teachers; the importance for the aspirations of children, families, communities, educators and educational organisations to be recognised as legitimate and key determinants of actions, experiences and successes in both transition to school and mathematics learning; and the belief that young children are powerful mathematics learners who can demonstrate this power as they start school. In each chapter, authors reflect on their work in the area of mathematics and transition to school, place that work within the overall context of research in these fields, predict the trajectory of this work in the future, and consider the implications of the work both theoretically and practically.

Book excerpt: STEM Integration in K-12 Education examines current efforts to connect the STEM disciplines in K-12 education. This report identifies and characterizes existing approaches to integrated STEM education, both in formal and after- and out-of-school settings. The report reviews the evidence for the impact of integrated approaches on various student outcomes, and it proposes a set of priority research questions to advance the understanding of integrated STEM education. STEM Integration in K-12 Education proposes a framework to provide a common perspective and vocabulary for researchers, practitioners, and others to identify, discuss, and investigate specific integrated STEM initiatives within the K-12 education system of the United States. STEM Integration in K-12 Education makes recommendations for designers of integrated STEM experiences, assessment developers, and researchers to design and document effective integrated STEM education. This report will help to further their work and improve the chances that some forms of integrated STEM education will make a positive difference in student learning and interest and other valued outcomes.

Book excerpt: This report describes the growth in cognitive skills and achievement, and the continuities and discontinuities experienced in school and at home by the eighth-grade cohort of the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) during the 2 years between the study's base year (1988) and the first-followup (1990) surveys. The report examines school change in view of the almost universally experienced transition to high school, with findings about patterns of school transition and changes in students' perceptions of safety and overall learning environment. Major changes in home life and family are also outlined. Finally, the report examines the tested achievement of the cohort by exploring gains and the content areas in which they occurred. By the followup, about 6% of the students were no longer in school, and half reported that they left simply because they did not like school. In terms of simple achievement gains, students gained in all four subject categories of science, mathematics, social studies, and reading comprehension, although gain patterns were complex. Data from NELS:88 and its followups are a rich source of information for policy makers and education practitioners. Four appendixes discuss standard errors, research methodology, an overview of the program, and an annotated bibliography of 30 NELS:88 publications. (Contains 14 tables, 40 figures, and 70 references.) (Author/SLD)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the kinds of transitions that have been studied in mathematics education research. It defines transition as a process of change, and describes learning in an educational context as a transition process. The book focuses on research in the area of mathematics education, and starts out with a literature review, describing the epistemological, cognitive, institutional and sociocultural perspectives on transition. It then looks at the research questions posed in the studies and their link with transition, and examines the theoretical approaches and methods used. It explores whether the research conducted has led to the identification of continuous processes, successive steps, or discontinuities. It answers the question of whether there are difficulties attached to the discontinuities identified, and if so, whether the research proposes means to reduce the gap – to create a transition. The book concludes with directions for future research on transitions in mathematics education.

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 2015-07-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the views of kindergarten teachers on readiness and the change in the beginning to end of the year reading, math, and approaches to learning scores of kindergartners. The specific research questions being asked within this dissertation were: Does the background of the kindergarten teachers have an effect on the teachers' views of kindergarten students? Secondly, what impact do the demographics of the students have on the beginning of the year reading, math, and approaches to learning scores? Lastly, what effects do the views of kindergarten teachers on school readiness have on change in kindergarten students' beginning to end of the year reading, math, and approaches to learning scores? This study used the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS), Kindergarten (K) Class of 2010-2011 data set to answer the research questions. The ECLS-K: 2011 is the most current large-scale and longitudinal data set providing a nationally representative and generalizable perspective from approximately 15,000 kindergarten students and 3,000 kindergarten teachers. Multivariate regressions were done to examine the first two questions concerning relationships between teacher characteristics and their views and between student characteristics and their entry-level performance. A three-level hierarchical linear model was used to determine the change of reading, math, and learning outcomes scores of kindergartners from the fall to the spring. The results of this study determined the kindergarten teachers' background characteristics of gender, ethnicity, years of education, years of teaching, and highly qualified status did have an effect on the teachers' views of kindergarten students. In addition, the kindergarten students' demographic characteristics of gender, ethnicity, social class, disability, age, English spoken at home, and center care before kindergarten did have an impact on their beginning of the year reading, math, and approaches to learning scores. Lastly, it was determined that the greater emphasis on behavior by the kindergarten teachers was related to less growth in reading, math, and approaches to learning scores, while greater emphasis on academic skills was related to more growth in reading, math, and approaches to learning.
