This book was released on 2014 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of using the calculator as a standard accommodation during the instruction and assessment of students with learning disabilities has not been sufficiently investigated. The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of the calculator in grades 6, 7 and 8, as a standard accommodation during math instruction and assessment contributed to improved performance for students with learning disabilities. These students struggled with math and received special education services in this academic area before and during the use of the accommodation. The researcher also investigated whether the effect of this accommodation varied with the type of special education program awarded (inclusion, resource, self-contained). The theoretical foundation of the study was cognitive deficit theory that focused on working memory deficits. A quantitative, causal-comparative research design was conducted using archival data from a small school district to compare the performance of the students with learning disabilities on the grade level state standardized assessment before the implementation of the calculator as a standard accommodation and afterwards. The results of paired samples t tests and a two-way mixed ANOVA were statistically significant, showing that students who used the calculator performed at a higher level. The special education program did not influence the effect of using the calculator; all students with learning disabilities benefited from using this accommodation. The implications of these findings suggest that calculators allow students with learning disabilities to learn key concepts by addressing the cognitive deficit challenges of retrieving basic math facts.

Download or read book A Comparison Study of the Math Achievement Rate of Students in Fourth Grade with Educational Disabilities in the Accelerated School Program and Missouri s Traditional School Program written by Ruth Ann Wood-Humiston and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this causal-comparative design study was to analyze fourth-grade math achievement of students with educational disabilities in Accelerated Schools Project attendance centers to fourth-grade math achievement of students with educational disabilities in traditional, non-accelerated school programs, in the state of Missouri. The dependent variables for this study were the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) scaled scores and the TerraNova Survey national percentiles. Achievement scores were from the spring of 2000. This study was divided into two major parts. Part A examined Accelerated School Status and Mobility Status (i.e., attendance in the school less than one year; more than one year). These analyses were studied by means of a 2 x 2 ANOVA to determine if mobility status and school type (i.e., Accelerated Schools Project and traditional school) significantly affected MAP and TerraNova Survey scores. Part B examined Educational Disability Types and Disability Type by School Status using a 2 x 5 factorial ANOVA was used to determine if there were significant differences among different educational disability types and school type (i.e., Accelerated Schools Project and traditional school). Part A analyses found a significant main effect on student performance on the MAP scaled scores, favoring traditional schools. While statistically significant, mean differences were quite small. No significant main effects or interactions were found with respect to the TerraNova Survey . Part B analyses results showed a significant main effect for disability type and an interaction between disability type and school type with respect to the MAP scaled score. The TerraNova Survey analysis revealed a significant main effect for disability type, but not a significant interaction of disability type and school type. While post hoc analysis were not conducted in this study, examination of mean scores revealed appreciably lower achievement scores for students with mental retardation on both measures. In addition, it appeared that students with behavioral disorders scored considerably better in traditional schools while students with mental retardation performed better in Accelerated Schools.

Download or read book The Effect of an Integrated Mathematics Program on Student Performance as Demonstrated on the PSSA written by Mary Keith Stoler and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increased importance of high stakes tests and the less than favorable performance of American students on national and international tests have led mathematics educators to investigate the content and the delivery of mathematics in the classroom. Mathematics programs aligned with the 1989 Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics have garnered mixed reviews. This study investigated the impact of an integrated mathematics program on student achievement as demonstrated by their performance on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA). Two groups of high school students were selected from a school district. The first group of students was enrolled in a traditional applied mathematics program; the second group was enrolled in an integrated mathematics program. The 11th grade PSSA scores were obtained from both groups and were converted to z-scores. The difference of the means was determined and an independent t-test was performed. Students completing three years in the integrated program showed no significant improvement in overall PSSA mathematics test scores when compared with students completing three years in the traditional program.

This guide assesses some of the most promising technical tools and tactical approaches for acting on predictions in an effective way.
Download or read book Digital Roots written by Gabriele Balbi and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As media environments and communication practices evolve over time, so do theoretical concepts. This book analyzes some of the most well-known and fiercely discussed concepts of the digital age from a historical perspective, showing how many of them have pre-digital roots and how they have changed and still are constantly changing in the digital era. Written by leading authors in media and communication studies, the chapters historicize 16 concepts that have become central in the digital media literature, focusing on three main areas. The first part, Technologies and Connections, historicises concepts like network, media convergence, multimedia, interactivity and artificial intelligence. The second one is related to Agency and Politics and explores global governance, datafication, fake news, echo chambers, digital media activism. The last one, Users and Practices, is finally devoted to telepresence, digital loneliness, amateurism, user generated content, fandom and authenticity. The book aims to shed light on how concepts emerge and are co-shaped, circulated, used and reappropriated in different contexts. It argues for the need for a conceptual media and communication history that will reveal new developments without concealing continuities and it demonstrates how the analogue/digital dichotomy is often a misleading one.
