This book was released on 2012 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concepts and ideas of mathematics is a major element of educational curriculum. Many different instructional strategies are implemented in mathematics classrooms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of an instructional model utilizing hands-on learning and use of manipulatives on mathematics achievement of middle school students. A quasi-experimental non-equivalent control-group design was used to examine 145, seventh-grade students from a North Georgia middle school. Data was collected to analyze if changes were experienced in pretest/posttest scores. A Mann-Whitney test was run and revealed initial group differences between the whole control and whole experimental groups, and also between average-achieving control participants and average-achieving experimental participants. An ANCOVA was then run to analyze the null hypotheses for the first and third research questions, revealing that there was no significant difference between posttest scores of the control and experimental groups when compared as whole groups. In addition, no significant differences were found between posttest scores of average-achieving participants in the control and experimental groups. Individual Mann-Whitney tests were used to examine the second and fourth research questions. The results showed that there were no significant differences between two of the subgroups (low-achieving control versus low-achieving experimental, high-achieving control versus high-achieving experimental) of the control and experimental groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book presents a person-centered exploration of student profiles, using variables related to motivation to do school mathematics derived from the IEA’s Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) data. Statistical cluster analysis is used to identify groups of students with similar motivational profiles, across grades and over time, for multiple participating countries. While motivational variables systematically relate to school outcomes, linear relationships can obscure the diverse makeup of student subgroups, each with varying combinations of motivation, emotions, and attitudes. In this book, a person-centered analysis of distinct and meaningful motivational profiles and their differences on sociodemographic variables and mathematics performance broadens understanding about the role that motivation characteristics play in learning and achievement in mathematics. Exploiting the richness of IEA’s TIMSS data from many countries, extracted clusters reveal consistent, as well as certain nuanced patterns that are systematically linked to sociodemographic and achievement measures. Student clusters with inconsistent motivational profiles were found in all countries; mathematics self-confidence then emerged as the variable more closely associated with average achievement. The findings demonstrate that teachers, researchers, and policymakers need to take into account differential student profiles, prioritizing techniques that target skill and competence in mathematics, in educational efforts to develop student motivation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is a fundamental educational challenge for adolescents in the United States, and particularly for immigrant youth. The motivation to achieve, especially in mathematics, declines during adolescence. Most of what is known about motivation is based on studies of predominately middle-class White students; yet the influx of immigrants over the past forty years, particularly from Latin America and Asia, speaks to the increasing importance of achievement among immigrant youth in the U.S. school system and society at large, underscoring the need to understand the motivation to achieve among immigrant youth and its relation to academic achievement. This dissertation examines the association between motivation (i.e., personal goal orientations of mastery, performance-approach, and performance-avoidance) and mathematics achievement among approximately 2,000 7th and 8th grade students, predominantly of Mexican and Vietnamese heritage, from one low-income urban school district in California. A lagged dependent variable regression model with classroom fixed effects is used to minimize biases arising from non-random assignment of teachers and students to schools and classrooms. Study 1 examines the association between students' goal orientations and achievement, as measured by a state standardized assessment. Although all three goal orientations correlate with mathematics achievement, only a mastery goal orientation consistently predicts achievement after controlling for a full set of prior achievement and demographic controls. Study 2 adds nuance to the relationship between goal orientations and achievement with a focus on ethnicity and gender. First, I examine the predictors of the three goal orientations with a focus on mastery motivation. Ethnicity is not associated with mastery motivation--Vietnamese students do not have a motivation advantage over Hispanic students. Gender is associated with mastery motivation, with males less likely than females to be mastery oriented. Additionally, males--particularly Hispanic males--are more performance-avoidant than Hispanic females. Second, the differential effects of goal orientations for students with varying socio-demographic characteristics suggest that the relationship between goal orientations and mathematics achievement are not the same for all students. There is a positive association between mastery goal orientation and achievement for Vietnamese students but not Hispanic students; however, no differential effects are found with performance goals.

This book was released on 2013-05-29 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optimal Learning Environments to Promote Student Engagement analyzes the psychological, social, and academic phenomena comprising engagement, framing it as critical to learning and development. Drawing on positive psychology, flow studies, and theories of motivation, the book conceptualizes engagement as a learning experience, explaining how it occurs (or not) and how schools can adapt to maximize it among adolescents. Examples of empirically supported environments promoting engagement are provided, representing alternative high schools, Montessori schools, and extracurricular programs. The book identifies key innovations including community-school partnerships, technology-supported learning, and the potential for engaging learning opportunities during an expanded school day. Among the topics covered: Engagement as a primary framework for understanding educational and motivational outcomes. Measuring the malleability, complexity, multidimensionality, and sources of engagement. The relationship between engagement and achievement. Supporting and challenging: the instructor’s role in promoting engagement. Engagement within and beyond core academic subjects. Technological innovations on the engagement horizon. Optimal Learning Environments to Promote Student Engagement is an essential resource for researchers, professionals, and graduate students in child and school psychology; social work; educational psychology; positive psychology; family studies; and teaching/teacher education.
