This book was released on 2013 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This causal comparative research study compared the mean score differences from two groups of fifth grade students. Both groups were identified at-risk, based on a curriculum based math measure and their 4th grade performance on the state assessment, for failure to meet math standards on the state assessment. The curriculum-based measure in this study was the 2011-12 AIMSweb Mathematic Concepts and Applications (M-CAP). Mathematics achievement was measured by scores on the 2012 math subtest of the Georgia Criterion Referenced Competency Test (CRCT). Each group received classroom instruction using Learning Focused Schools (LFS) math strategies. The treatment group received additional computer based math instruction. The computer based math instruction in this study was Individual Prescription for Achieving State Standards (iPASS). A correlation analysis examined the ability of the 2011-12 M-CAP fall cut scores to identify risk status measured by student scores on the 2012 CRCT math subtest. A second correlation analysis examined the predictive ability of the 2011-12 winter M-CAP target scores on the CRCT as indicated by the strength and direction of the relationship. Three research questions were investigated: (a) Is there a difference in the 2012 CRCT math scores between at-risk fifth grade students who participate in computer based math instruction and those who do not? (b) Are the 2011-12 fall M-CAP cut scores able to identify fifth grade students as at-risk to fail the math portion of the 2012 CRCT? (c) Are the 2011-12 winter M-CAP target scores able to predict fifth grade students' performance on the math subtest of the 2012 CRCT? To address these research questions this study first examined the effectiveness of computer based math concepts and applications instruction on student achievement and its viability as an effective intervention for students identified as at-risk to fail end of year state assessments. Secondly, this study investigated the ability of cur

This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effect of traditional (self-contained, one teacher for all academic subjects) and departmentalized (math taught by a different teacher) instruction upon the mathematics CRCT achievement of fifth-grade general education students. A secondary purpose addressed teachers' experiences, perceptions, and opinions concerning the classroom structure at this level. The 2007 and 2008 CRCT math data was used with a total of 9,386 students. The researcher's Data Collection and Opinions (DCO) for Teachers surveyed 180 fifth-grade teachers. A z score population proportion and a two-sample t test determined significant differences between the two structures. Results of the passing percentages showed a significant difference in favor of the departmentalized setting in 2007. DCO findings found departmentalized options as teachers' preferred choice of structure for fifth-grade students with a continued need to include teachers in decision-making. Additional results with implications for administrators concerning the organizational structure decision for upper elementary levels are provided. Recommendations for further research studies are also included.

Download or read book The Effect of a Title I Math Remediation Program on Student Achievement on the CRCT written by LaTonya Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the mandate of No Child Left Behind (NCLB), increasing students’ test scores have become more pertinent in the education realm. Some schools are offering remedial math classes to provide support for students who are at risk for failure in math. One program implemented in a Title I school is a remedial math class during regular school hours. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a school-wide Title I math remediation program on student achievement on the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT). To show the effectiveness of the Title I remedial math program, the researcher compared the scores of middle school students who did not receive math remediation 2004-2005 and middle school students who received math remediation in 2005-2006. Since the critical value was calculated to be higher than the Chi-square, the results were not significant. Therefore, the null hypothesis was not rejected.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quantitative study compared historical data for fifth grade students during the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 school years. The students were identified as needing intervention based on their low performance in math on the CRCT. The Georgia Department of Education mandates that low performing students participate in the EIP program, receive research-based interventions, and are progress monitored through a curriculum-based management system. The Title I funded school in north Georgia progress monitor low performing students’ responsiveness to research-based interventions using the STEEP Math Intervention system. In this study, data was analyzed to determine if there was a significant statistical difference in the distribution of CRCT math scores for fifth grade students who were not progress monitored using the STEEP Math Intervention system in 2006-2007. The findings from the study supported the null hypothesis that there was not a significant statistical difference in the distribution of CRCT math scores between fifth grade students who received the STEEP Math Intervention system and the fifth grade who did not receive the STEEP Math Intervention system.

Book excerpt: This book addresses key issues of Technology and Innovation(s) in Mathematics Education, drawing on heterogeneous ways of positioning about innovation in mathematical practice with technology. The book offers ideas and meanings of innovation as they emerge from the entanglement of the various researchers with the mathematical practice, the teacher training program, the student learning and engagement, or the research method that they are telling stories about. The multiple theoretical or empirical perspectives capture a rich landscape, in which the presence of digital technology entails the emergence of new practices, techniques, environments and devices, or new ways of making sense of technology in research, teaching and learning.
Download or read book The Relationship Between Math Curriculum Based Measurements and the Washington Assessment of Student Learning written by Heather E. Thoburn and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The educational system has placed an emphasis on reading instruction and assessment. Districts are now making a change to place more attention on the area of mathematics. The challenge of helping all students at their level of instruction has become more noticeable and systems are beginning to make a change to the response to intervention model. More of an importance is placed on monitoring students and ensuring that all are receiving appropriate instruction and interventions. Curriculum-based measurement in math offers an efficient way to assess and monitor progress in math calculation. The current study examines the technical adequacy of a school created math screening tool by investigating reliability and criterion related validity of the measure. The relationship between the screening tool, the WASL math test, and a published math CBM with national norms (AIMSweb) is examined with a sample of 278 fourth and fifth grade students. The screener demonstrated strong reliability evidence and has some evidence for validity"--Document.
