Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is about the efficacy of computer-assisted reading programs in a Pennsylvania middle school. This study aims to determine if there is a correlation between using computer-assisted reading programs and students’ reading assessment scores. The study also analyzes the relationship between students’ reading assessment scores and their grade level, gender, and ethnicity. This study pursued to answer the following questions: What is the effect of computer-assisted instruction on students’ reading assessment scores? What is the relationship between students’ reading assessment scores and their grade level, gender, and ethnicity? In the 21st century, schools all around the country engage computer-assisted reading programs. However, schools lack evidence of its effectiveness in student learning. This problem not only affects teachers’ planning but also affects student learning. The intent and spirit of the study will be to provide research evidence highlighting the efficacy of computer-assisted reading programs. The study results answered the two research questions and concluded that computer-assisted reading programs do not have much influence on student learning. Researchers can use this information and evidence for further investigation based on the study’s findings, such as using a larger population, different subject areas, and various computer-assisted learning programs. Computer-assisted learning is still in its infancy, and educators need more evidence to support their decisions to assist students in accessing their education.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quantitative, quasi-experimental research study was designed to determine the impact of a computer assisted reading instruction program on the fluency rates and comprehension skills of third and fourth grade students with reading disabilities at an Ohio suburban-metropolitan elementary school. Pretests established the participants' baseline reading skills. The participants' reading progress was monitored, during twenty-week baseline and intervention periods, with weekly measures of fluency and comprehension. Posttests measured the intervention program's impact on the participants' fluency rates and comprehension skills. Results were evaluated through visual analyses of experimental data graphs and by conducting time series matched pair t confidence interval tests to determine the reading intervention program's impact on the participants' reading skills, as measured by AIMSweb reading fluency probes, STAR reading comprehension tests, and Woodcock Johnson IV tests of reading achievement. The study provided two potential benefits for participants, improved reading fluency rates and comprehension skills, and increased value-added measures of student performance on Ohio's Common Core State Standards tests; and a third unintended benefit, improved school district's and teachers' value-added evaluation scores on the Ohio State Report Card.

Download or read book The Effects of the I Ready Computer Assisted Instruction Program on the Reading and Fluency Achievement of First Graders written by Tara Bingham Silva and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The i-Ready CAI program is a comprehensive educational software program designed to build reading skills and concepts in grades K-8, stand alone or to supplement existing curricula. The program's capability to individualize lessons, assess and track student progress, is aimed at keeping potentially "at risk" students at grade level. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the i-Ready computerized reading program in improving the reading achievement of first graders. The results of this study may provide additional information regarding the effectiveness of CAI. This quantitative study was conducted at an elementary school located in a school district in the Central Valley of California during the 2014–2015 academic year. Students in both the treatment and control groups took an Open Court fluency pre and post test and a pre-and post test i-Ready reading diagnostic test determine if differences in reading and fluency achievement existed between the two groups. Students who participated in the i-Ready program, also participated in the daily core English language arts program. The treatment group (n = 40) took a pre i-Ready reading diagnostic test. The results from the i-Ready reading diagnostic test provided the teachers with each student’s reading level, pinpointed each student’s subskill needs and customized instruction according to each student’s placement level. The treatment group participated in i-Ready for 20-minute sessions 3 times a week for six consecutive weeks. The control group (n = 40) received instruction in the daily core English language arts program without computer assisted instruction. An ANCOVA was performed on the pre and post reading assessment data of first-grade students who participated in the i-Ready CAI program and first-grade students who did not. In overall reading achievement, the first-grade students who did not participate outperformed those who did. However, there was no significant difference in reading fluency achievement between the first-grade students who participated in the i-Ready CAI program and first-grade students who did not participate.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over 60 years of education reform, including the National Defense Education Act (NDEA) in 1958, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1975, and No Child Left Behind (NCLB) in 2002, the achievement gap still existed at the beginning of the 21st century, and the effectiveness of the U.S. public school system continued to be questioned. This study was conducted to examine the effect of the use of a computer-assisted instruction curriculum, Achieve 3000®, among select secondary reading students in a central Florida school district and their implications for student achievement. This study showed significant difference existed in the type of students rather than the reading program. The ANCOVA performed on all students and the ANOVAs performed for exceptional education students, males and females, free/reduced lunch and ethnic subgroups did not show a significant statistical difference in the 2012-2013 reading achievement scores. The Achieve 3000® reading program did not close the achievement gap any more than the non-Achieve 3000® reading program. Conversely, the ANOVA performed for English language learners did show a significant statistical difference between the 2012-2013 reading achievement scores. However, the effect size each question was small indicating the practical implication was also small. Ultimately, this study made a strong argument for the need for further research.

Pollak Chairman of the International Program Committee Bell Laboratories Murray Hill, New Jersey, USA The Fourth International Congress on Mathematics Education was held in Berkeley, California, USA, August 10-16, 1980. Previous Congresses were held in Lyons in 1969, Exeter in 1972, and Karlsruhe in 1976. Attendance at Berkeley was about 1800 full and 500 associate members from about 90 countries; at least half of these come from outside of North America. About 450 persons participated in the program either as speakers or as presiders; approximately 40 percent of these came from the U.S. or Canada. There were four plenary addresses; they were delivered by Hans Freudenthal on major problems of mathematics education, Hermina Sinclair on the relationship between the learning of language and of mathematics, Seymour Papert on the computer as carrier of mathematical culture, and Hua Loo-Keng on popularising and applying mathematical methods. Gearge Polya was the honorary president of the Congress; illness prevented his planned attendence but he sent a brief presentation entitled, "Mathematics Improves the Mind". There was a full program of speakers, panelists, debates, miniconferences, and meetings of working and study groups. In addition, 18 major projects from around the world were invited to make presentations, and various groups representing special areas of concern had the opportunity to meet and to plan their future activities.

This book was released on 1909 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commercially available Computer Assisted Instruction programs and their implementation appear to be having an effect on elementary education. The indiscriminate use of these programs may pose a threat to the quality of education some students receive. This exploratory research: (1) examined the effectiveness of CAI programs in the opinion of past and present educational researchers, through a literature review, (2) discussed the structure of the reading strand of one such program currently in use in some Canadian elementary schools; and through a case study involving a 6 week computer program intervention using 6 high, middle, and low achievers from one grade six classroom, (3) reflected on the relevance of this program by measuring: pre- and post-intervention performance on the Gates-MacGinitie standardized Reading Tests. Form D (1965), the Johns Basic Reading Inventory (1994), computer generated program reports and investigator constructed format of instruction attitude questionnaires and self-concept survey. A focus group session documented student perceptions about program use. Findings in this case study indicated mixed results in terms of reading performance gains for high, middle, and low achieving students. Performance seemed to be affected by personal attributes, program characteristics, and scheduling management and resource limitations. It was concluded that, in this case students at all levels benefited to some degree but that attitude had more influence on performance than on the entering achievement level. Students remarked on the need for more social interaction to facilitate learning. More detailed research into the numerous factors that influenced performance is required. Findings suggest that caution is in order in the large scale implementation of computer assisted instruction programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Guide to Student Achievement brings together and critically examines the major influences shaping student achievement today. There are many, often competing, claims about how to enhance student achievement, raising the questions of "What works?" and "What works best?" World-renowned bestselling authors, John Hattie and Eric M. Anderman have invited an international group of scholars to write brief, empirically-supported articles that examine predictors of academic achievement across a variety of topics and domains. Rather than telling people what to do in their schools and classrooms, this guide simply provides the first-ever compendium of research that summarizes what is known about the major influences shaping students’ academic achievement around the world. Readers can apply this knowledge base to their own school and classroom settings. The 150+ entries serve as intellectual building blocks to creatively mix into new or existing educational arrangements and aim for quick, easy reference. Chapter authors follow a common format that allows readers to more seamlessly compare and contrast information across entries, guiding readers to apply this knowledge to their own classrooms, their curriculums and teaching strategies, and their teacher training programs.
