Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine principals’ and teachers’ perceptions of flexible ability grouping when used for students with exceptional mathematical promise in third and fourth-grade mathematics classes. Flexible grouping allows educators to match students’ readiness levels with instruction and to apply proper content and pacing. This study extended previous research on grouping practices and investigated flexible grouping in relation to mathematics instruction, both within-class ability grouping and between- or cross-class ability grouping. The type of research design was an explanatory sequential mixed methods approach, combining quantitative survey and qualitative interview data. The survey used a Likert-type rating scale and contained 23 questions. Participants reflected a purposeful sampling method, and included 86 elementary educators, consisting of 77 teachers and nine principals from five suburban school districts in Pennsylvania. After survey completion, a small group of 10 participants engaged in one-on-one interviews. Interviewees included two principals and eight teachers. Principals and teachers provided information about perceived effects of flexible grouping for students with exceptional mathematical promise, advantages and disadvantages of this practice, and planning and implementation aspects needed for successful delivery. Principals’ and teachers’ perceptions revealed significant results, including the beneficial effects of flexible grouping on academic performance and social and emotional behaviors for students with exceptional mathematical promise. Survey and interview data indicated that the advantages of flexible grouping as an instructional practice for students with exceptional mathematical promise outweighed the disadvantages. Some of the main advantages that surfaced in this study included high levels of student engagement, opportunities for higher level thinking, faster pacing of curriculum, and student preferences for working with peers of similar readiness and ability levels. Finally, this study explored aspects of planning and implementation necessary for flexible grouping at the elementary level. Results of qualitative data collection also revealed a need for meaningful professional development and training as well as sufficient teacher planning time through professional learning communities or grade-level meetings. Flexible grouping in mathematics should be considered a valuable and effective tool in meeting the needs of students, especially students with exceptional mathematical promise.

Download or read book The Effects of Flexible Ability Grouping on Mathematics Improvement and Self-concepts in the Intermediate Grades written by Sara Curran and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research investigated the effects of the ability grouping method of between-classroom flexible grouping on intermediate elementary students' mathematical concept improvement and academic self-concepts. This ability grouping method involved relocating students among classrooms within a grade level, based on ability, for mathematics instruction. Pretests, given prior to each mathematics unit, determined students' placements for each unit of study, resulting in the flexible grouping of students into groups throughout the course of the school year. The treatment group, implementing between-classroom flexible grouping for mathematics instruction, consisted of 140 fourth and fifth grade students at two elementary schools. The comparison group, utilizing heterogeneous classrooms, included 142 fourth and fifth grade students at one elementary school. All three schools were situated within one suburban Chicago school district. A quasi-experimental, quantitative research design was employed to collect data. The STAR Math test was administered in the fall (pretest) and in the spring (posttest) of the school year to ascertain mathematical concept improvement. The School Subjects and Mathematics subscales of the Self-Description Questionnaire I were administered to determine students' general academic self-concepts and mathematics self- concepts. At the fourth grade level, the treatment group reported higher mathematical concept improvement, academic self-concepts, and mathematics self-concepts than the comparison group. However, a statistically significant difference was only found for academic self-concepts. At the fifth grade level, the comparison group achieved higher mathematical concept improvement and academic self-concepts. The treatment group attained higher mathematics self-concepts. No statistical significance was determined. When fourth and fifth grades were combined, the treatment group outperformed the comparison group for mathematical concept improvement, academic self-concepts, and mathematics self-concepts. Statistical significance was not attained. In addition, this study attempted to confirm the assertions of Marsh's Big-Fish-Little-Pond Effect. A positive correlation between mathematical ability levels and mathematics self-concepts was noted for all subgroups. A smaller range of mathematics self-concept means across ability levels was evident for the treatment group. The findings of this research suggest between-classroom flexible grouping may benefit intermediate elementary students, but more research is necessary to fully gauge its effects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of math flexible small groups as an intervention to improve student proficiency on math MAP scores. The study looked at two groups of students' proficient scores on the MAP test from an urban elementary school in the Kansas City area. The first group of students did not have the intervention of math flexible small groups. The second group of students did have the intervention of math flexible small groups. Data was collected from the DESE website for Math MAP scores on third, fourth and fifth graders for the years 2009 and 2010. The findings were analyzed using A Statistical Program (ASP) software. A t-test was conducted to see if there was a significant difference in the test scores pre and post intervention. The results indicated that there was a significant difference between the two study groups. The intervention of math flexible small groups is an effective strategy to improve math achievement.

They are energetic and outgoing. They are quiet and curious. They are confident and self-doubting. They are interested in a thousand things and deeply immersed in a particular topic. They are academically advanced and "kids in the middle" and struggling due to cognitive, emotional, economic, or sociological challenges. More of them than ever speak a different language at home. They learn at different rates and in different ways. And they all come together in our academically diverse classrooms.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this investigation the students in fifth through eighth grades were placed in math classes based on their ability (homogenous grouping). MAP math test scores and teacher input were used to group the students by their ability. This treatment was implemented to see if there was a change in student achievement and to see if there were any student attitude changes about math. The post-treatment results indicated that students MAP test scores varied greatly for each individual but 82% of students increased their scores from the pre to post-treatment. The results indicated that the percent increase in MAP test scores were the highest during the pretreatment. The above grade level students had a 6.5% increase, at grade level had a 5.5% increase, and the below grade level had a 6.8% increase in their MAP test scores. During the post-treatment the group of students that were most affected by the ability grouping were the above grade level students. They had a 4.2% increase in their MAP test scores during the treatment year. The students that were at grade level had a 2.3% increase in their MAP test scores. The students that were negatively affected by the ability grouping were the below grade level students. They increased their scores by .3% in the treatment year. AIMSweb Concepts and Applications increased following the treatment from 8.1% to a 16% increase in the test scores. AIMSweb Computation scores decreased in overall percent gains from a 17.7% to an 11.1% following the treatment. Students' attitudes about math were more positive after the treatment but the students said that there was little benefit to their science class when they were in ability groped math class.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of flexible instructional grouping on student achievement. The study was conducted in a nine through twelfth grade foods at Prairie High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Three data sources were used to determine the effect of flexible instrcutional grouping: 1) pretest and post test, 2) lab journal scores, and 3) lab exam scores. In the treatment group, students were teamed with students with similar cooking and academic abilities. These groups were rearranged with each new unit and skill according to their cooking background survey. In the control group, students were randomly grouped and therefore groups contained a variety of skill levels. Data from all three sources concluded flexible instructional grouping was not effective.
