This book was released on 2004 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the relationship between academic domain specific self-concept (specifically mathematical and verbal) and the academic achievement in mathematics and English of young adolescents. Middle school students in grades seven and eight ranging in age from 12 to 15 years completed three subscales of the Self-Description Questionnaire-II (general school, verbal and mathematical self-concept). Results indicated that females displayed lower levels of mathematical self-concept while males displayed lower levels of academic self-concept, verbal self-concept and verbal achievement scores. No significant gender differences were found in mathematics achievement. Educational implications are discussed. (Contains 6 tables.).

This book was released on 2012 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project is to develop a mathematics program for use in an eighthgrade general math class which addresses student self-concept in mathematics focused on (a) a less intimidating, non-threatening classroom environment with a profusion of positive student reinforcement, (b) small cooperative student groups where students explore, problem-solve, reason, recognize thinking with logical justifications, (c) student perseverance, (d) effective classroom questioning to draw out student thinking, and (e) logical puzzles and critical thinking math problems. The objective of the project is to assist teachers and administrators in guaranteeing that all eighth-grade students have the opportunity to be successful in mathematics. Four lessons were designed around the California Mathematics and Common Core Standards. The lessons still need to be piloted and feedback from students and teachers would be beneficial to the effectiveness of each lessons implementation in a middle school mathematics classroom. Keywords: Academic achievement, non-threatening environment, self-concept, cognitive demand, classroom discourse, mathematical classroom discourse, math reasoning.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: n the research study, this investigator utilized a non-experimental, causal-comparative design (ex post facto) with archival data to determine the real impact single gender instruction had on eighth grade students' mathematics achievement. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively analyze the benefits of single gender mathematics instruction for eighth grade male and female students, when compared against traditional coeducational instruction. Specifically, the researcher compared students instructed in single gender eighth grade mathematics classes with students taught in traditional coeducational classes by analyzing fall vs. spring Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) computerized mathematics test score means. Additionally, honors vs. non-honors level groupings were analyzed. The number of students being studied (over 2,000 total from across South Carolina) and the instrumentation being utilized (Northwest Evaluation Association's (NWEA) MAP national assessment) distinguished this research project from previous studies and gave it additional validity and reliability. The mean difference in students' fall vs. spring MAP scores were analyzed utilizing a two way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the impact of each main effect as well as an examination of the interaction of both effects. The research showed that the type of instruction (single gender vs. coeducational) and the interaction between the type and level of instruction did not have a significant impact on the students' overall achievement. The level of instruction (non-honors vs. honors) did have a significant effect on the students' learning with non-honors students outperforming honors students on the MAP assessment that was administered.

Download or read book Gender, Self-efficacy, and Mathematical Achievement : an Analysis of Fourth Grade and Eighth Grade TIMSS Data from the United States written by Jennifer Anne Evans and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been argued by some that boys are inherently better in mathematics than girls (Halpern, 2012; Summers, 2005). However, according to international assessments such as the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study’s (TIMSS) and Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), boys do not always outperform girls in mathematics (Mullis, Martin, Foy, & Arora, 2012; OECD, 2014). As such, something other than biology might better explain variations in mathematics performance. One explanation may be self-efficacy, a label used to describe judgments people make about themselves in terms of whether or not they have the capability of doing something (Bandura, 1995; Bandura 1997). Self-efficacy has been found to have a significant effect on academic achievement (Bandura, 1995; Bandura 1997); Borman & Overman, 2004; Fast, Lewis, Bryant, Bocian, Cardullo, Rettig, & Hammond, 2010; Pietsch, Walker & Chapman, 2003). This dissertation explored the relationship of gender, self-efficacy, and mathematics achievement on the TIMSS assessment as a way to change biological arguments that boys are inherently better than girls in mathematics. The country of focus is the United States and the students studied were fourth grade participants who took the 2007 TIMSS test (n = 7,896) and eighth grade participants who took the TIMSS 2011 (n = 10, 477). Self-efficacy was examined through responses to selected TIMSS student background questionnaire statements that represented self-efficacy. Results of this study show that gender on its own is not a significant predictor of mathematics achievement. A positive relationship exists between self-efficacy and mathematics achievement. Further, high self-efficacy is the greatest predictor of mathematics achievement studied in this dissertation. High self-efficacy gave boys a greater advantage in mathematics than girls at both grade levels. This work supports the importance of self-efficacy to mathematics achievement and diminishes the significance of gender to the same end. -- Abstract.

Download or read book Gender Differences in Mathematics written by Ann M. Gallagher and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-12-27 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Females consistently score lower than males on standardized tests of mathematics - yet no such differences exist in the classroom. These differences are not trivial, nor are they insignificant. Test scores help determine entrance to college and graduate school and therefore, by extension, a person's job and future success. If females receive lower test scores then they also receive fewer opportunities. Why does this discrepancy exist? This book presents a series of papers that address these issues by integrating the latest research findings and theories. Authors such as Diane Halpern, Jacquelynne Eccles, Beth Casey, Ronald Nuttal, James Byrnes, and Frank Pajares tackle these questions from a variety of perspectives. Many different branches of psychology are represented, including cognitive, social, personality/self-oriented, and psychobiological. The editors then present an integrative chapter that discusses the ideas presented and other areas that the field should explore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "... a wonderful addition to any mathematics teacher's professional bookshelf." -- The Mathematics Teacher "The individual biographies themselves make for enthralling, often inspiring, reading... this volume should be compelling reading for women mathematics students and professionals. A fine addition to the literature on women in science... Highly recommended." -- Choice "... it makes an important contribution to scholarship on the interrelations of gender, mathematics, and culture in the U.S. in the second half of the twentieth century." -- Notices of the AMS "Who is the audience for this book? Certainly women who are interested in studying mathematics and women already in mathematics who have become discouraged will find much to interest and help them. Faculty who teach such women would put it to good use. But it would be a loss to relegate the book to a shelf for occasional reference to an interested student or beginning mathematician. Everyone in the mathematics community in which each of Henrion's subjects struggled so hard to find a place could benefit by a thoughtful reading." -- Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) News Mathematics is often described as the purest of the sciences, the least tainted by subjective or cultural influences. Theoretically, the only requirement for a life of mathematics is mathematical ability. And yet we see very few women mathematicians. Why? Based upon a series of ten intensive interviews with prominent women mathematicians throughout the United States, this book investigates the role of gender in the complex relationship between mathematician, the mathematical community, and mathematics itself.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic self-concept has been extensively studied in terms of its relationship with academic achievement. The existing research has portrayed three theoretical models for this relationship: Self-Enhancement Model, Skill Development Model, and Reciprocal Model. The majority of results have provided support for a Reciprocal Model. So far, little research has been done in this area for students with learning disabilities (LD). Previous research has suggested that students without and with LD demonstrate differing developmental patterns in academic self-concept and math achievement. This study thus examined the relationship between academic self-concept and math achievement among students without and with LD. Further, the relationship between academic self-concept and math achievement may differ based on the types of math achievement measures used. Thus, this study also examined the relationship between academic self-concept and math achievement using two types of math achievement measures: high-stakes (math Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test [MFCAT]) and low-takes (Woodcock-Johnson III Broad Math Test [WBMT]) standardized tests. This study used data from an existing federally-funded seven-year longitudinal study database (2001--2008, Principal Investigator: Marjorie Montague), which included 165 students without LD and 30 students with LD. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between academic self-concept and two measures of math achievement from Grades 8 to 10 at different time points in early and late adolescence. The findings of this study found that WBMT scores in Grade 8 significantly predicted academic self-concept in Grade 10 in both students without and with LD. However, when using the MFCAT measure, MFCAT scores in Grade 8 predicted academic self-concept in Grade 10 only in students without LD but not students with LD. Recommendations for practice and future research are provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the effect of psychological, social and demographic variables on student achievement and summarizes the current research findings in the field. It addresses the need for inclusive and interpretive studies in the field in order to interpret student achievement literature and suggests new pathways for further studies. Appropriately, a meta-analysis approach is used by the contributors to show the big picture to the researchers by analyzing and combining the findings from different independent studies. In particular, the authors compile various studies examining the relationship between student achievement and 21 psychological, social and demographic variables separately. The philosophy behind this book is to direct future research and practices rather than addressing the limits of current studies.
