This book was released on 2019 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was conducted to investigate the impact of parental involvement on student’s math achievement. The study sought to determine the effects of parent involvement in fifth-grade math classroom and on math achievement. Aminsweb scores, beginning of the year and end of the year math scores (semester averages), ethnicity, and socioeconomic status data were used to show the relationship of parental involvement in math scores cohort 1 vs cohort 2. The purpose of this study was to help parents and educators identify specific parental behaviors and influences that would help students raise their self-concept and achievement in math. The findings from this study indicated that parental involvement is a important factor in students math achievement.

Book Effects of Authentic Outdoor Instruction on Fifth Grade Mathematics Achievement and Attitudes Toward Math

Download or read book Effects of Authentic Outdoor Instruction on Fifth Grade Mathematics Achievement and Attitudes Toward Math written by Marie Snyder and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine fifth graders' attitudes toward mathematics and achievements in mathematics when taught in real-world situations in the outdoor setting of a national refuge. Does authentic math instruction in an outdoor environment affect students' attitudes toward math when compared to students in a traditional classroom setting? Does authentic math instruction in an outdoor environment affect students' math achievement when compared to students in a traditional classroom setting? Fifth grade students who did not participate in the program at the national refuge setting but instead were taught in a traditional classroom setting acted as the control group. The researcher reviewed achievement data and gave pre- and post-surveys on attitudes toward math to measure academic achievement and gain student's perspectives on attitudes toward math, confidence in math, usefulness of math, and usefulness of math in the outdoors. Academically, math achievement scores grew at a similar rate for both the treatment group and the control group. More questions had significant differences of the mean from the treatment group's attitude surveys than from the control group's attitude surveys. The findings from this study suggest continuing to integrate instruction in this outdoor setting to improve attitudes toward math. A recommendation is made to do a follow up survey when these same students are more developmentally mature to understand the possible longitudinal effects of the program.

Book The Relationship Between Attitudes and Achievement in Mathematics Among Fifth Grade Students

Download or read book The Relationship Between Attitudes and Achievement in Mathematics Among Fifth Grade Students written by Madeleine P. Michelli and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been a number of studies investigating how attitudes such as confidence and motivation affect students and their academic achievement. This study was conducted to identify specifically how fifth grade students' attitudes affect their achievement in mathematics. Gender was studied to determine its effect on attitude and achievement. Furthermore, various types of personality traits were studied including extroversion, conscientiousness, self-control, and intellectual efficiency to determine their effects on achievement. To gather the data a questionnaire including a Likert scale survey and a math test was administered. The results indicated that there is a significant relationship between attitudes toward and achievement in math. Concerning gender, males had a more positive attitude towards math compared to females, but both genders scored approximately the same on the achievement test. Finally, extroversion was the only trait to have a significant relationship with achievement, showing that students who were more extroverted scored higher on the test. These findings indicate that educators should be aware of students' attitudes and seek to improve them in order to positively influence students' academic achievement.--P. iv.

Book Effect of Family Math on Student Achievement and Attitude

Download or read book Effect of Family Math on Student Achievement and Attitude written by Brian C. McFadden and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not 4th grade students participating in a series of Family Math Nights had significantly higher achievement scores as well as student and parent attitudes about mathematics when compared to students at the same school who did not participate in the Family Math Nights. In order to gauge the effectiveness ofthe Family Math Nights the following items were analyzed: student achievement will be evaluated by analyzing data using a pretest and posttest of the 4th grade mathematics curriculum given to control and experimental groups; student and parent attitudes about mathematics will be analyzed using a Likert scale survey both at the beginning and conclusion of each Family Math Night. The surveys will be analyzed to see if the Family Math Nights have an impact on student and parent attitudes toward mathematics. Overall, this study provides quantitative information about the effect Family Math can have on students in one elementary school classroom. There is not sufficient evidence to support the positive effect Family Math had on student achievement in mathematics. Yet, for this study when student attitudes were analyzed, survey scores indicated that attending a series of Family Math Nights improved student attitudes towards mathematics. KEYWORDS: Family Math, student achievement, attitudes, parent involvement, parent-school relationships
