Book Psychological Foundations of Education

Download or read book Psychological Foundations of Education written by B. Claude Mathis and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 797 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychological Foundations of Education presents some of the principles of psychology that are relevant to learning and teaching. It presents an alternative answer to the problem of the bifurcation of general and educational psychology in the curriculum of teacher preparation. While the solution is provisional and has obvious imperfections, it is offered in the hope that it may stimulate discussion of the problem and other solutions and/or explicit justifications for past practice. Key concepts discussed include teachers’ attitudes and behavior, different types of learning, technology in education, forgetting and extinction, child development, and intelligence measurements. Also covered are the assessment of educational achievement, the social psychology of the classroom, and education in urban schools. This text should have a variety of uses in classes where students are preparing for teaching. It was written specifically for those situations in which the prospective teacher is introduced to psychology through a one- or two-semester integrated sequence.

Book The Experiences of Six Successful 8th grade Female Mexican American Students

Download or read book The Experiences of Six Successful 8th grade Female Mexican American Students written by Annette Michelle Pérez and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This qualitative study examines the educational experiences of six eighth-grade, female, Mexican-American students in an urban public middle school in an effort to discover which personality characteristics, experiences, or external factors contributed to their academic success. Through a series of semi-formal interviews, the participants described their perceptions of their academic success in the context of their lives. Parent and family factors, motivation/self-efficacy/resiliency, academic achievement, social class and social capital factors were explored with each student. Triangulation was carried out with the use of semi-formal interviews with the participant's teachers and an examination of the participants' academic cumulative files. The findings illustrate that no single personality characteristic, experience, or external factor in a student's life promotes success, but rather it was a combination of these characteristics, experiences, and factors that facilitated the students' success" -- abstract, p.iv.

Book Language Characteristics and Academic Achievement

Download or read book Language Characteristics and Academic Achievement written by Denise Bradby and published by Department of Education Office of Educational. This book was released on 1992 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the demographic and language characteristics and educational aspirations of Asian American and Hispanic American eighth graders and relates that information to their mathematical ability and reading comprehension as measured by an achievement test. Special attention is paid to students who come from homes in which a non-English language is spoken. The report uses information selected from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88). The NELS:88 administered questionnaires and tests to a national sample of 25,000 eighth grade students in over 1,000 public and private schools in spring 1988. A second data collection was conducted in spring 1990. Of the 1,505 Asian American students evaluated, 73 percent were reported as language minorities (LMs), while 77 percent of the 3,129 Hispanic American students evaluated were LMs. Of the LM students, 66 percent of the Asian Americans had high English proficiency as compared to 64 percent of the LM Hispanic Americans. Both Asian American and Hispanic American groups had 4 percent of LM students showing low English proficiency. Overall, the study found many similarities between the two groups. However, differences are apparent when data are divided along language proficiency, mathematics achievement, aspiration, and other measures. Statistical data are provided in 33 tables and 44 graphs. Appendices present selected survey questions, technical notes and methodology, and 109 standard error tables. (JB)
