Book excerpt: This dissertation was designed to examine whether fourth-grade students who received instruction in a self-contained setting were more likely to meet their target score on the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) test than students who were taught in a departmentalized setting. Fourth-grade students in ALPHA School District took the MAP test in the fall and spring of the academic calendar year. Target scores were originated by the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA). These target scores showed the typical growth for a student in the particular grade level as calculated by national norms. The MAP test growth norms were very precise. Due to the enormous number of students involved in the norming study, NWEA staff was able to calculate the mean growth of similar groups of students from each grade level (2–10) who scored at each RIT level in the initial testing season. For this study, the researcher focused on students in the fourth grade. -- Fourth-grade students from ALPHA School District were tested in the fall of 2015 and the spring of 2016. Scores of students taking both tests were obtained and categorized into two groups: self-contained and departmentalized. Once this process was completed, the researcher analyzed the target scores to determine whether or not there were significant differences in scores of self-contained and departmentalized classrooms. Teacher participants were asked to respond to a collection of survey questions to determine which factors were key contributors to students finding success in the math program in their classroom structure (self-contained, departmentalized). The researcher followed up by utilizing a group of volunteer interview participants to partake in a brief interview based on the findings to determine the identifiable cultural classroom differences in environments in comparing self-contained and departmentalized settings. -- An analysis of the data determined that all students grew equally well regardless of their target growth and classroom structure. Through a survey, it was determined that self-contained teachers place the highest importance on the factors of human relationships and individualized instruction, while departmentalized teachers place their importance in engaging lessons and content specialization. It was discovered that teachers are better when they teach toward their strengths; that math is most effectively taught in a structured environment where routines are evident; and the value in the importance of engaging students with relevant, creative instruction.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study summarizes research conducted in a fourth grade classroom in a suburban elementary school in the fall of 2005. This study investigated the practice of using hands-on instructional strategies, enhanced with technology, to improve students' attitudes and performance in mathematics. The classroom teacher supplemented conventional mathematics instruction with hands-on activities. Attitudinal data were collected using a pre- and post anxiety survey as well as journal writing assignments and student interviews. Performance data was collected using evaluative assessments. Results of this study showed a positive change in students' attitude towards mathematics. Student performance gains were recorded and analyzed throughout the 12-week study. Twenty of the 26 students who participated in the study scored satisfactorily on all evaluative assessments. Data indicated little change was evident in student performance on assessments due to the high performing students who participated in the study.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All students must have opportunities to achieve high levels of mathematics learning, thus, organizational settings in the field of education should be carefully examined to determine the extent to which the instructional environment affects student achievement, growth, and application of grade level standards for students identified as economically disadvantaged. The purpose of this quantitative, causal-comparative study was to investigate differences in mathematical proficiency of economically disadvantaged fourth-grade students in departmentalized versus traditional instructional settings as measured by the 2019 Maryland PARCC mathematics assessment. A cluster sample of low-income fourth-grade students from 80 public elementary schools in a large, suburban school district in central Maryland was used to examine statistical differences in mathematical proficiency of the two settings across three dependent variables: (a) modeling, (b) reasoning, and (c) overall achievement. Archival data were collected from the instructional data division of the school district under study. An independent samples t-test was used to examine differences in group overall proficiency means based on instructional setting. Two Mann-Whitney U analyses were conducted to determine if differences in group modeling and reasoning medians existed based on setting. Results indicated economically disadvantaged students’ overall proficiency scores were statistically significantly higher in a departmentalized setting than in a traditional setting. There were no differences in reasoning and modeling scores based on setting. Implications for instructional practice and suggestions for future research are discussed.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Brain-based learning strategies were used to assist fourth grade students in a Title I, urban school to memorize multiplications facts from two to nine. This study took six months to complete. The numerous strategies used included, looking at the facts, listening to music, singing a song, moving arms in a crisscross motion across the chest, and having a relaxed classroom setting. Several times weekly students practiced math facts, took a test on 50 multiples in two minutes, and graded them for immediate results. The outcome of the study revealed significant documented growth and retention in students' abilities to complete 50 math facts in two minutes and have positive attitudes toward math."--leaf 4.
