Book The Effect of Homogeneous Ability Grouping in Math Class on Student Achievement and Attitudes about Math

Download or read book The Effect of Homogeneous Ability Grouping in Math Class on Student Achievement and Attitudes about Math written by Kristina Lynn Davis and published by . 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.

Book The Effects of Ability Grouping Versus Mixed Ability Grouping on Fourth Grade Mathematics Achievement

Download or read book The Effects of Ability Grouping Versus Mixed Ability Grouping on Fourth Grade Mathematics Achievement written by Karen A. Rieger and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of ability grouping vs. mixed ability grouping on the mathematics achievement of high, medium, and low ability fourth grade students. Achievement was measured by mean growth on California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) California Standards Tests (eSTs). The sample was composed of 704 fourth grade students from two elementary schools in the same Southern California school district. The research method chosen was a non-experimental quantitative retrospective study. Statistical analysis using a two-way ANOV A and t-tests was performed on three consecutive years oftest scores. Results showed that students of all ability levels experienced significantly higher achievement in homogeneously grouped classes. High ability students in heterogeneously grouped classes showed negative mean growth all three years of the study and medium ability students showed negative mean growth two of three years. Pacing, level of differentiation, and affect may play an important part in the effects of instructional grouping observed in the study. Keywords: ability grouping, homogeneous, heterogeneous, differentiation, pacing, affect, mathematics performance

This study aimed to test the effect of ability grouping on Hong Kong children. A between-subjects design was used to investigate whether students' achievement in English would be affected by the practice of ability grouping 102 Hong Kong primary school children studying in Primary One took part in the investigation. All participants first undertook a pre-test that determined their ability level- high, average or low. 51 Students were then grouped homogeneously (HM) according to ability level while students from another 51 students were grouped in heterogeneous (HT) ability setting. After attending two English lessons on the topic of singular/plural noun, students completed the post-test and a survey on ability grouping. It was hypothesised that ability grouping would have positive effect on average and high ability students while low ability students would benefit more from heterogeneous grouping. The not significant effect between HM and HT groups, F(1,96)=0.210, p=0.648, and between the ability levels between two groupings, F(2,96)=0.020, p=0.980, found in this study failed to support the research hypotheses. The findings tended to support the work of Oakes (1985, 1995, 2005), Oakes and Lipton (1990) and Slavin (1987). Yet, it was suggested that no conclusion on the effectiveness of grouping on student learning could be reached. Further implications and recommendations were included in this research.

Book The Impact of Math Ability Grouping on Second Grade Student Growth

Download or read book The Impact of Math Ability Grouping on Second Grade Student Growth written by Cristil Rogers and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many research studies that support ability grouping, oppose ability grouping, and several that are neither for nor against this strategy. Therefore the basis for my research stems from the essential question, does ability grouping improve the assessment scores of students? For this study the second grade math assessment scores of two classrooms were analyzed. One study group was exposed to between-class ability grouping while the other group was exposed to within-class ability grouping. These two strategies were the primary grouping method for math instruction in these two separate environments. The pre- and post-test assessment scores of the Place Value District Common Assessment were used as the measurement tool to compare the results for each group. Through this action research one can conclude that the effects of grouping students by ability level in both with-in class and between-class groups lends to similar results. There is no evidence from this study that suggest using any type of ability grouping has a negative effect on academic growth.

Book Mixed Ability Grouping

Download or read book Mixed Ability Grouping written by Charles Bailey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book, first published in 1983, explores the argument that justifies mixed ability groupings in schools and the consequences of practicing the different justificatory arguments. The issues to be dealt with by staff making decisions about grouping arrangements in their schools are clearly worked out from basic principles rooted in social philosophy. The ideas of social justice and fraternity, implicit and unexamined in much discussions about mixed-ability grouping are here explained and their limitations and implications described. The issues discussed in this book are not only important for teachers and for those studying to become teachers, but also for school governors, administrators and parents who can gain a better understanding of the school system through this study.
