This book was released on 2007 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The students in my social studies class had difficulty comprehending information from textbooks and other nonfiction reading. Graphic organizers, a general teaching tool that visual or spatial representations of the text, have been identified as tools to aid comprehension. The purpose of this study was to see if graphic organizers would improve the retention of information obtained from a social studies textbook. Graphic organizers were implemented in a sixth grade classroom over a seven week period during the fall of 2007 at Monticello Middle School. Three different types of graphic organizers were implemented in a sixth grade social studies unit on the Stone Ages and early cultures. The study consisted of two sixth grade classes, each with 23 students. One class received the treatment of the graphic organizers and the other class did not. The research administered in initial survey and a pretest to rate the students' knowledge of graphic organizers and the unit topic. The students were taught how to use the graphic organizers through explicit, whole class instruction and were used in conjunction with the textbook. A multiple-choice posttest and survey were given and results were compared between the two classes. Results indicated a significant increase in the comprehension of the text of the students involved in the treatment group.

Download or read book The Impact on Test Scores Using Conceptual Graphic Organizers with Fifth grade Social Studies Students written by Brandy M. Schurbon and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many students find comprehending and retaining social studies content difficult and frustrating. Textbooks often present a plethora of information without adequately connecting it to students' background knowledge. Connecting new ideas and facts to already known information helps students remember and understand new ideas. Graphic organizers have long been used as an educational tool to help create visual representations of textbook ideas. The purpose of this study was to determine if mind maps, one type of conceptual graphic organizer, would improve test scores within a fifth-grade social studies class over an eight-week period. The study took place with four classes of students. Two of the classes received instruction, practice and time to utilize mind maps within the Iowa history curriculum. The other two classes did not utilize mind maps. A total of 39 students participated in the mind map treatment group and 44 students were in the non-treatment group. An initial rating scale survey, a post rating-scale survey and two pre and posttests were given to the treatment group. The non-treatment group did not complete the rating scale survey, But participated in the two pretests and posttests. Students within the treatment group were then instructed on how to successfully create mind maps during whole-class instructions and teacher modeled examples. After guided practice, students within the their own mind maps using textbook and supplemental information. The mind maps were scored using a rubric. Students later shared their maps with the class. Results indicated a slight increase in Iowa history test scores for students involved in the treatment group.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Douglas Biklen closely examines the experiences of six families in which children with disabilities are full participants in family life in order to understand how people who have been labeled disabled might become full participants in the other areas of society as well. He focuses on the contradictions between what some families have achieved, what they want for their children, and what society and its social policies allow. He demonstrates how the principles of inclusion that govern the lives of these families can be extended to education, community life, and other social institutions. The parents who tell their stories here have actively sought inclusion of their children in regular schools and community settings; several have children with severe or multiple disabilities. In discussing issues such as normalization, acceptance, complete schooling, circles of friends, and community integration, these parents describe the challenge and necessity of their children's "leading regular lives." In the series Health, Society, and Policy, edited by Sheryl Ruzek and Irving Kenneth Zola.

Download or read book The Effects of Graphic Organizers on Building Comprehension in Students on the Autism Spectrum written by Karen Karin Ruth Kliemann and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many students on the autism spectrum display a strong ability to process and comprehend information at elevated levels when presented with it visually. Despite this, students who have autism are increasingly being educated in general education content classrooms that utilize lessons directed to whole groups of students and limit the use of visually presented material. For some students with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), this presentation introduces difficulties related to attention as well as comprehension and retention of material. Research indicates promising results associated with using a graphic organizer to increase comprehension accuracy in students who answer wh-questions following the reading of a short passage. The purpose of this study was to document the relationship between using a graphic organizer and increasing reading comprehension. The study employed a single-subject multiple baseline design across participants to evaluate if the use of a graphic organizer impacted the correctness of answering wh-questions for grade-level social studies content. Participants included four eighth grade students in an urban public school who had been diagnosed with ASD. Results supported research by showing an increase in comprehension skills with the use of a graphic organizer.
