This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Didactics - Mathematics, grade: 6, Mountains of the Moon University, language: English, abstract: This study aimed at establishing teachers’ quality factors that affect pupils’ achievement in mathematics. The study was based on two objectives; to establish the relative effect of teacher’s qualification and experience on pupils’ achievement levels, to establish the relationship between teachers’ commitment and pupils’ achievement in mathematics. The study tested the hypotheses; there is no correlation between teacher’s qualification and pupils’ achievement levels, there is no relationship between teachers experience and pupils’ achievement levels, there is no correlation between teachers’ commitment and pupils’ achievement in mathematics. The study used teachers, pupils and head teachers to obtain data, a total of 70 respondents were randomly and purposively selected from five primary schools of Kyondo sub-county, Kasese district. Basing on the findings and discussions, it was revealed that first, the teachers’ qualification and experience have nothing to do with pupils’ level of achievement in mathematics. Secondly, the teachers’ low level of commitment is responsible for the low levels of pupils’ achievement in Kyondo sub-county.

This book was released on 2018-06-18 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Didactics - Mathematics, grade: 6, Mountains of the Moon University, language: English, abstract: According to the National Assessment Program in Education (NAPE) report (2015), pupils’ proficiency (achievement) level in mathematics (numeracy) is low at primary six. Also teachers are essential to pupils’ achievement in mathematics; their characteristics such as commitment, qualification, teaching abilities are significant to pupils’ levels of achievement. The success or failure of any academic program depends largely on the teacher ability to deliver which is a function of teachers’ qualification, experience, and commitment. This study examined the teachers’ quality factors that are thought to affect pupils’ achievement in mathematics in primary six. The study used teachers and pupils, to obtain data, a total of 70 respondents were randomly selected from five primary schools of Kyondo sub-county, Kasese district. Basing on the findings of the study, it was revealed that first, the teachers’ qualification and experience are not significant to pupils’ level of achievement in mathematics. While teachers’ level of commitment is highly significant to the pupils’ level of achievement in mathematics. Therefore the low level of pupils’ achievement in mathematics at primary in Kyondo sub-county is mainly as a result of low levels of teacher commitment to classroom activities.
Book Synopsis Teacher Quality, Instructional Quality and Student Outcomes by : Trude Nilsen
Download or read book Teacher Quality, Instructional Quality and Student Outcomes written by Trude Nilsen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers insights from modeling relations between teacher quality, instructional quality and student outcomes in mathematics across countries. The relations explored take the educational context, such as school climate, into account. The International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement’s Trends in Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) is the only international large-scale study possessing a design framework that enables investigation of relations between teachers, their teaching, and student outcomes in mathematics. TIMSS provides both student achievement data and contextual background data from schools, teachers, students and parents, for over 60 countries. This book makes a major contribution to the field of educational effectiveness, especially teaching effectiveness, where cross-cultural comparisons are scarce. For readers interested in teacher quality, instructional quality, and student achievement and motivation in mathematics, the comparisons across cultures, grades, and time are insightful and thought-provoking. For readers interested in methodology, the advanced analytical methods, combined with application of methods new to educational research, illustrate interesting novel directions in methodology and the secondary analysis of international large-scale assessment (ILSA).

Book Synopsis Equity and Quality Dimensions in Educational Effectiveness by : Leonidas Kyriakides
Download or read book Equity and Quality Dimensions in Educational Effectiveness written by Leonidas Kyriakides and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to make a contribution to the theory, research and practice on quality and equity in education by providing a comprehensive overview of these two dimensions of educational effectiveness and proposing a methodological instrument that may be used to measure the contribution that each school can make to promoting equity. The importance of using this instrument is demonstrated by analysing results of various effectiveness studies conducted over the last decade. The book draws upon research across the world, especially research conducted in the Europe, the United States, and Australasia. It is shown that promoting equity has no negative effect on the promotion of quality. The importance of using this methodological instrument to identify factors that promote both quality and equity at different educational levels (i.e. teacher, school and educational system) is stressed. The book also demonstrates how we can measure stability and changes in the effectiveness status of schools over time in terms of fostering quality and equity. In addition it underlines the importance of identifying factors measuring changes in the effectiveness status of schools in terms of equity and points to the alternative strategies that can be used at school and system level. In our attempt to encourage the further development and use of this methodology for school improvement purposes, we demonstrate how experimental studies can be conducted to discover whether and under which conditions the proposed methodology can help schools promote both quality and equity. Finally, implications for school evaluation, research, educational policy and practice are drawn. In this way, the book contributes significantly to the debate on how quality and equity can be achieved and encourages policy-makers and practitioners not to view these two dimensions of effectiveness as being in competition with each other but as constituting the major objectives of any reform policy and/or improvement effort at school and/or national levels.
Book Synopsis Effects on the academic performance of schools. Reinforcing academic achievement in mathematics in grade six by : Carlo Niño Gerebese
Download or read book Effects on the academic performance of schools. Reinforcing academic achievement in mathematics in grade six written by Carlo Niño Gerebese and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2021-12-13 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2021 in the subject Didactics - Mathematics, , language: English, abstract: This study assessed the factors affecting the academic performance of two schools (A and B) as a basis for the interventions. It is anchored on the theory of Edward Thorndike which is the theory on connectionism and the theory of constructivism of Jerome Bruner. The performance of learners is a result of financial, mental and ecological variables. Training assumes a critical job in political, monetary and social domains of advancement. Poor scholastic execution speaks to low results that demonstrate the degree to which a student has neglected to achieve explicit objectives that were the focal point of exercises in instructional situations, explicitly in school. Numerous understudies are viewed as underachievers in Mathematics. They are normal or better than expected in their insight however their genuine accomplishment in these subjects didn't harmonize to their scholarly capacities. Generally, it is a disturbing perception among Filipino students that they exceed expectations in information achievement however admission extensively low in exercises requiring higher request thinking aptitudes. It is very evident with the result of the National Achievement Test of the students nationwide in Mathematics which was only 48.90 percent which is very obvious that it didn’t meet the passing rate of the Department of Education. The result is described as poor achievement and below the national standard passing rate. It is apparent in the performance of the pupils in School A, Schools Division of Cebu City with the results in their Periodical Examinations. The Mean Percentage Score (MPS) in athematics did not meet the standard passing rate of the Department of Education which is 75%, that is according to DECS Order No. 46, s.1983. Performance of the learners has persistently been poor. The repeated result made the teachers and administrator dissatisfied. Therefore, it is a great challenge for the teachers handling Mathematics to have a couple of solutions in solving these problems inside the classroom. This condition has encouraged the researcher to investigate the factors that contribute to the poor performance of the Grade six learners in School A.
Book Synopsis Teaching for Excellence and Equity by : Nathan Burroughs
Download or read book Teaching for Excellence and Equity written by Nathan Burroughs and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book examines the interrelationship of national policy, teacher effectiveness, and student outcomes with a specific emphasis on educational equity. Using data from the IEA’s Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) conducted between 1995 and 2015, it investigates grade four and grade eight data to assess trends in key teacher characteristics (experience, education, preparedness, and professional development) and teacher behaviors (instructional time and instructional content), and how these relate to student outcomes. Taking advantage of national curriculum data collected by TIMSS to assess changes in curricular strategy across countries and how these may be related to changes in teacher and student factors, the study focuses on the distributional impact of curriculum and instruction on students, paying particular attention to overall inequalities and variations in socioeconomic status at the student and country level, and how such factors have altered over time. Multiple methods, including regression and fixed effects analyses, and structural equation modelling, establish the evolution of these associations over time.

Download or read book Quality and Equity in Education written by Leonidas Kyriakides and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality and Equity in Education draws attention to the importance of developing and testing theories of educational effectiveness and using these theories for improvement purposes. It makes a major contribution to knowledge and theory building in research on promoting quality and equity in education. The book presents an improved version of the dynamic model of educational effectiveness based on the empirical data emerged from studies testing its validity, claiming that the proposed theory can be used for establishing links between educational effectiveness research and school improvement. Towards that end, the book presents the Dynamic Approach to teacher and school improvement, demonstrating its impact on quality and equity in education. The book not only proposes an agenda for further research on developing and testing the dynamic theory of educational effectiveness but also refers to research methods that can be used to test the assumptions of this theory and search for relevant cause and effect relations. The agenda also refers to the need of identifying the conditions under which the dynamic approach to teacher and school improvement can have an effect on student learning outcomes. This book will be of great interest for academics, researchers and postgraduate students working in education research and the area of quality and equity in education. It will also be of interest to policymakers, school advisors and other stakeholders in education.

Download or read book The Effectiveness of Mathematics Teaching in Primary Schools written by Zhenzhen Miao and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Effectiveness of Mathematics Teaching in Primary Schools: Lessons from England and China provides a unique insight into the mathematics classrooms of these two countries and arrives at a time when the world is eager to know how Chinese learners consistently excel at learning mathematics and other core subjects. Showcasing the kinds of teaching methods that work within and across countries, this book presents a rich collection of views, including those from teachers, their native colleagues, their foreign colleagues and the researcher, regarding the quality of mathematics teaching today. Interweaving scientific results about teaching and learning evaluations with multiple perspectives of various roles in and out of the classroom, Miao and Reynolds offer insights into how and why different approaches of teaching have led to different learning outcomes in mathematics internationally. Building on rigid and robust analyses of the most up-to-date data in England and China, the book indicates that it is through changing teaching rather than changing teachers that mathematics learning can be improved, because it is what teachers do in the classroom that really makes a big difference. Containing four decades of wisdom from the field of teaching effectiveness research, this book is essential reading for all who want to improve the quality of mathematics teaching worldwide. This book is particularly relevant for educational researchers, postgraduate students and teachers, as well as school leaders, policymakers and parents.

Book Synopsis Assessing Teacher Effectiveness by : Jim Campbell
Download or read book Assessing Teacher Effectiveness written by Jim Campbell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we really evaluate teacher effectiveness? Systems of teacher appraisal and evaluation are being created across the world in order to monitor and assess teacher performance. But do the models used really give a fair evaluation? Based on international research, the authors argue that teacher effectiveness is too narrowly conceptualised and methods of measuring it are not attuned to the real contexts in which teachers work. They propose a model of differential teacher effectiveness which takes into account that: * teachers may be more effective with some categories of students than with others * teachers may be more effective with some teaching contexts than others * teachers may be more effective with some subjects or components than with others. Building on and developing previous research on models of teacher effectiveness and current theories, the authors open up possible new debates which will be of interest to academics and researchers working in this area throughout the world.
