Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing research supporting subject-area frameworks and curricular content in public education systems confirms that complex mathematics skills introduced in middle school are essential for success in high school and beyond; however, oftentimes these critical skills are not taught effectively. Teacher and curricular quality are key leverage areas for promoting student achievement and are essential to building a solid mathematical foundation for middle school students. SimCalc, a new curriculum focused on the mathematics of change and variation, combines technology and student-centered instructional processes. Using data from year one of the Scaling Up SimCalc Project, regression analysis is applied to assess the effects of teacher background on SimCalc's impact on student achievement. The conclusions reached in this analysis show that select teacher background characteristics have no statistically significant effect on SimCalc's impact on student achievement. These findings confirm SimCalc's potential to be used effectively by teachers, particularly those with experience teaching math, to promote student achievement in middle school math classrooms, which should prove useful in justifying widespread use of the SimCalc curriculum.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to analyze technology-assisted course delivery methods to determine their overall effectiveness as it pertains to mathematics courses. This study analyzed both current and historical data in mathematics classes in the areas of achievement, retention, and grade distribution. The goal of this study was to determine if the use of technology-assisted course delivery methods had an effect in courses where it has been implemented. Additionally, the level of the effect and whether it was positive or negative was determined and analyzed. A second goal was to determine if there is a significant difference in the achievement level, grade distributions, and retention rates of technology-assisted courses versus traditional courses and then determine what implementation strategy yielded the greatest results. Research questions for the study were: a) Will there be a difference in achievement between students in technology-assisted courses and students in traditional courses?; b) Will there be a difference in grade distribution between a technology-assisted course and a traditional course; c) Will there be a difference in retention rate between a technology-assisted course and a traditional course?; and d) Is the amount of time spent in the course a significant factor in student performance and retention? The study included 14562 students enrolled during Fall 2007 to Fall 2012 in Pre-Calculus Algebra at a Southeastern University. Students were grouped by method of instruction and course length. Significant differences were found in student achievement as determined by course grade point average. Students in the traditional course scored 0.444238996 higher in average course grade point average. Students in the traditional courses also had a significantly higher number of A's and a significantly lower number of F's in the grade distribution. There was not a significant difference in the overall retention rate between the 18-week traditional courses and the technology-assisted courses, but there was a significant difference between the 9-week traditional and the technology-assisted courses. In general, the students enrolled in the technology-assisted courses did not perform at the same level as the students in the traditional setting.
Download or read book Precalculus Students Achievement When Learning Functions written by Laura Hauser and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of function is one of the essential topics in the teaching and learning of secondary mathematics because of the central and unifying role it plays within secondary and college level mathematics. Organizations, such as the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, suggest students should be able to make connections across multiple representations of mathematical functions by the time they complete high school. Despite the prominent role functions play in secondary mathematics curriculum, students continue to struggle with the complex notion of functions and especially have difficulty using the different representations that are inherent to functions (algebraic, graphical and tabular). Technology is often considered an effective tool in raising student achievement, especially in learning functions where the different representations of a graphing calculator are analogous to the different representations of a function. Opportunity to learn is another important consideration when examining achievement and is generally considered one of, if not the most important, factor in student achievement. Opportunity to learn, or the measure of to what extent students have had an opportunity to learn or review a concept, is often measured with self-reports of content coverage. This study examined the relationship between opportunity to learn, students'; use of graphing calculators, and achievement within a curriculum that supports integrated use of technology and focuses on conceptual understanding of mathematical concepts. The research questions focused on what opportunities students had to learn functions from the enacted curriculum, what calculator strategies students used when solving function problems, how both opportunity to learn and calculator strategies influenced student achievement, and what relationships exist between opportunity to learn, use of calculator strategies, and student achievement.
Download or read book Research and Data Regarding the Use of Technology in an Elementary Math Classroom and Its Impact on Achievement written by Amanda Bearden and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to analyze the affects of technology in the elementary math classroom. This study included two separate fourth grade classrooms. Both classrooms used district provided curriculum for mathematics. One classroom used only district curriculum taught in the traditional manor. The other classroom used district curriculum in combination with technology enhanced instruction. The research was conducted using math scores from the state standardized test (MAP). The findings were analyzed through Microsoft Excel and A Statistical Program (ASP) software. Findings indicate that there is an increase in student achievement when technology is incorporated into the classroom. Further training in technology integration is warranted. Additionally, the district may want to look into the increase of current technology programs or the implementation of new technology programs for teachers and classrooms.
Download or read book Research in Collegiate Mathematics Education IV written by Ed Dubinsky and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2000 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fourth volume of Research in Collegiate Mathematics Education (RCME IV) reflects the themes of student learning and calculus. Included are overviews of calculus reform in France and in the U.S. and large-scale and small-scale longitudinal comparisons of students enrolled in first-year reform courses and in traditional courses. The work continues with detailed studies relating students' understanding of calculus and associated topics. Direct focus is then placed on instruction and student comprehension of courses other than calculus, namely abstract algebra and number theory. The volume concludes with a study of a concept that overlaps the areas of focus, quantifiers. The book clearly reflects the trend towards a growing community of researchers who systematically gather and distill data regarding collegiate mathematics' teaching and learning. This series is published in cooperation with the Mathematical Association of America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a fresh look at programs for advanced studies for high school students in the United States, with a particular focus on the Advanced Placement and the International Baccalaureate programs, and asks how advanced studies can be significantly improved in general. It also examines two of the core issues surrounding these programs: they can have a profound impact on other components of the education system and participation in the programs has become key to admission at selective institutions of higher education. By looking at what could enhance the quality of high school advanced study programs as well as what precedes and comes after these programs, this report provides teachers, parents, curriculum developers, administrators, college science and mathematics faculty, and the educational research community with a detailed assessment that can be used to guide change within advanced study programs.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A random sample of 200 Hispanic/Latino students from a predominately Hispanic/Latino South Texas community college was used to determine if the implementation of MyMathLab had a positive effect on students' academic grade performance. The purpose of this study was to explore whether a web-based technology, MyMathLab, made a difference in student success in both a developmental mathematics course and a subsequent college algebra course. Additionally, this study examined whether the effect differs by instructors' characteristics contributing to successes or failures of students in developmental mathematics courses. Student success in developmental mathematics courses was measured by pre and post MyMathLab tests in addition to grade distributions from 2001 and 2005 (before MyMathLab) across the two developmental courses and a college algebra course and the implementation of MyMathLab between 2008-2012 to determine if using MyMathLab had an impact on student success in two developmental courses and an early algebra course. Also, the instructors completed two surveys. The Mathematics Teaching Efficacy Belief Instrument (MTEBI) and Instructors Educational Philosophies (IEP). The survey questions were compared to the results to determine if the instructors' characteristics had an impact on student's achievement in developmental courses enhanced by MyMathLab. The overall findings of the study suggests that with the implementation of MyMathLab taken on average the typical student was able to increase their academic performance in the developmental mathematic courses (Math0375, Math0376) and college algebra course (Math1314). The PTE overall findings suggest that mathematic instructors were uncertain if they had the ability to teach effectively in the classroom. The TOE represented mathematics instructors were uncertain if they effectively taught students to succeed in college and were uncertain if they had a positive effect on students learning. The IEP overall findings suggest that mathematics instructors' personal teaching efficacy was a more learner-center approach rather than a teacher-center approach.
