Download or read book Teachers' Perceptions and Practices Regarding the Use of Calculators in One District Over a Twenty-year Period written by Gay Ann Ragan and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A case study of one school district in Missouri was conducted. This district was chosen based on participation in calculator studies in 1979 and 1990. As a result, a unique opportunity existed to develop a profile of calculator use in the teaching and learning of mathematics in one district over a twenty-year period. Data were collected to (a) describe teachers' current perceptions and practices regarding use of calculators; (b) to examine changes in teachers' perceptions and practices; and (c) to identify specific factors that have influenced calculator use in the Pine Brooke School District. In addition, individual case studies of nine teachers who participated in the 1979 and/or 1990 calculator studies were highlighted. An examination of the data over the twenty-year period indicated the most noticeable changes were in teachers' practices at the junior high and high school levels. At both schools, changes in policies to allow calculator use on state-mandated tests resulted in increased availability and changes in departmental policies allowing calculator use in earlier courses than in previous years. Across all grade levels (1-12) teachers' beliefs about the use of calculators had remained consistent. They believed students should "master the basic skills" as prerequisites to using a calculator. They supported calculator use beginning in the eighth or ninth grade because they believed that the focus of mathematics shifted from a computational to a conceptual orientation. Teachers' practices were generally consistent with these beliefs in that their support of and use of calculators within instruction increased at about the time students began studying algebra. Inconsistencies in teachers' beliefs and practices were evident at the elementary levels because of limited or no access to calculators. Thus, teachers who were supportive of calculator use did not include them in their practices. Factors that were influential to calculator use in the Pine Brooke School District were identified. These were policies regarding calculator use in the classroom and on standardized test; the availability of calculators; and teachers' beliefs about the impact of calculators on student learning and their views of mathematics. Teachers' lack of knowledge and experiences with calculators at both the pre-service and in-service level was the least recognized factor but was possibly the most influential factor that inhibited calculator use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results from national and international assessments indicate that school children in the United States are not learning mathematics well enough. Many students cannot correctly apply computational algorithms to solve problems. Their understanding and use of decimals and fractions are especially weak. Indeed, helping all children succeed in mathematics is an imperative national goal. However, for our youth to succeed, we need to change how we're teaching this discipline. Helping Children Learn Mathematics provides comprehensive and reliable information that will guide efforts to improve school mathematics from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. The authors explain the five strands of mathematical proficiency and discuss the major changes that need to be made in mathematics instruction, instructional materials, assessments, teacher education, and the broader educational system and answers some of the frequently asked questions when it comes to mathematics instruction. The book concludes by providing recommended actions for parents and caregivers, teachers, administrators, and policy makers, stressing the importance that everyone work together to ensure a mathematically literate society.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a May 1992 conference in Houston, 11 papers reflect on how calculators do and might influence the teaching of mathematics, and make recommendations for future efforts to integrate them into the curriculum. Among the topics are inservice training for teachers, the graphing calculator in pre-algebra courses, supercalculators in undergraduate mathematics, and surveys and assessments from various systems and levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated teachers' conceptions of mathematics and their teaching practices with respect to the use of graphing calculators in their mathematics classrooms. Case studies on three teacher participants were developed using quantitative and qualitative data that consisted of self-assessments on beliefs in mathematics, observations, surveys on professional and personal technology use, and semi-structured interviews. All three teachers viewed mathematics as a dynamic field, emphasized understanding concepts as opposed to mechanical procedures, and preferred the construction and understanding of the concept over the memorization of procedures. All three teachers were willing to use graphing calculators in the mathematics classroom and all three had a similar goal of attempting to use the graphing calculators to eliminate mechanical processing time and enhance their students' ability to construct their own learning. The evidence from the study suggests that these teacher's practices, with respect to the use of graphing calculators in the mathematics classroom, are influenced by how proficient their students are at using this technology and how accessible the technology is. There were five major findings from the study: (1) if the mechanics of operating a graphing calculator involve at least as much mental effort as the mechanics involved in pencil and paper work, then using the graphing calculator will not free up students so that they can concentrate on constructing their own knowledge and understanding of mathematical concepts or solving more complex problems; (2) when mechanical operating issues are overcome, introducing graphing calculators into the mathematics classroom aids teachers in helping students construct their own mathematical knowledge by allowing all students to begin at a common starting point; (3) to obtain the full benefits of having students learn with the graphing calculators in the mathematics classroom, teachers must require students to use the graphing calculators when they are being evaluated; (4) teachers will determine for themselves where graphing calculators can be most appropriately used in the curriculum; and (5) teachers require strategies that will allow them to successfully deal with managing the day-to-day difficulties involved in using technological instruments such as the graphing calculator in the classroom. Implications for future study include how we can help those teachers inexperienced with the use of technology to incorporate the use of technology in their classrooms, how we need to address the need for consistent teaching practices throughout the intermediate, secondary and post-secondary levels, and how future case studies can be coded to reflect more precisely the language used by teachers to question students in the classroom. Suggestions for educators to consider when using graphing calculators in the mathematics classroom are given at the end of the study.

This book was released on 2018-11-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Pedagogy - Common Didactics, Educational Objectives, Methods, grade: 2.7, Education University of Hong Kong (Department of Asian and Policy Studies - Education University of Hong Kong), course: CUM3002 Comparative Curriculum and Pedagogy Studies, language: English, abstract: The implementation of using calculators in the Irish Junior Certificate Mathematics curriculum and examinations brought about discussions about its impact on students' performance and learning attitudes. To compare the difference before and after implementation, we adopted experimental-type studies to find out the influence. There are two groups of Grade 9 students: the pre-intervention group and the post-intervention group. The research discovered that phase II students (using the calculators) got better Mathematics results and they thought using calculators can reduce the frequency of making mistakes. Despite such contribution, phase I students thought using calculators make students lazy. Based on our research, compulsory use of calculator in Mathematics education is a good decision, as it improved students' Mathematics performance and students became more motivated to learn. The most important reason of this is because students think using calculator can help them save more time.
