Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an increasingly technological world, mathematics curricula around the world have responded accordingly. Tedious computation, which is efficiently and accurately done using a simple calculator as well as more powerful software programmes, can no longer be the focus of any mathematics curriculum. In Singapore, the curriculum was recently revised to focus on the development and improvement of students’ intellectual competence (Singapore Ministry of Education 2006). The ability to visualize and to look for connections are given more emphasis than the ability to do tedious computation. Research in the use of calculators in mathematics teaching and learning has generally concentrated on two areas. First, there have been metaanalyses of the effects of calculator use on student achievement. Second, there are several studies on teachers’ beliefs on calculator use in the classroom. The metaanalyses of the effects of calculator use have found that there were improvements in computational, conceptual and problem-solving skills as well as in attitudes towards mathematics (Ellington, 2003; Hembree & Dessart, 1992). A study on instructional leaders showed that the majority of them agree with the research findings (Yeo, 2008). A study on practising teachers found that a majority of them did not believe that calculator use lowers students’ achievement (Carter, Ferrucci & Yeap, 2008). In a press release to explain the move to introduce the use of calculators in examination in upper primary levels, it was announced that calculator use can facilitate exploration to discover patterns and to make generalizations as well as make the use of authentic data possible (Singapore Ministry of Education, 2007). Without calculator use, the repetitive computations needed for students to discover patterns make this important aspect of mathematics learning tedious. Authentic data often involve numbers which may be difficult for students to deal with without calculators.

Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Didactics - Common Didactics, Educational Objectives, Methods, grade: 2.7, Education University of Hong Kong (Department of Asian and Policy Studies - Education University of Hong Kong), course: CUM3002 Comparative Curriculum and Pedagogy Studies, language: English, abstract: The implementation of using calculators in the Irish Junior Certificate Mathematics curriculum and examinations brought about discussions about its impact on students’ performance and learning attitudes. To compare the difference before and after implementation, we adopted experimental-type studies to find out the influence. There are two groups of Grade 9 students: the pre-intervention group and the post-intervention group. The research discovered that phase II students (using the calculators) got better Mathematics results and they thought using calculators can reduce the frequency of making mistakes. Despite such contribution, phase I students thought using calculators make students lazy. Based on our research, compulsory use of calculator in Mathematics education is a good decision, as it improved students’ Mathematics performance and students became more motivated to learn. The most important reason of this is because students think using calculator can help them save more time.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a May 1992 conference in Houston, 11 papers reflect on how calculators do and might influence the teaching of mathematics, and make recommendations for future efforts to integrate them into the curriculum. Among the topics are inservice training for teachers, the graphing calculator in pre-algebra courses, supercalculators in undergraduate mathematics, and surveys and assessments from various systems and levels.

Download or read book Visible Learning written by John Hattie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-11-19 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique and ground-breaking book is the result of 15 years research and synthesises over 800 meta-analyses on the influences on achievement in school-aged students. It builds a story about the power of teachers, feedback, and a model of learning and understanding. The research involves many millions of students and represents the largest ever evidence based research into what actually works in schools to improve learning. Areas covered include the influence of the student, home, school, curricula, teacher, and teaching strategies. A model of teaching and learning is developed based on the notion of visible teaching and visible learning. A major message is that what works best for students is similar to what works best for teachers – an attention to setting challenging learning intentions, being clear about what success means, and an attention to learning strategies for developing conceptual understanding about what teachers and students know and understand. Although the current evidence based fad has turned into a debate about test scores, this book is about using evidence to build and defend a model of teaching and learning. A major contribution is a fascinating benchmark/dashboard for comparing many innovations in teaching and schools.

Download or read book Implications of Scientific Calculators on Achievement in Mathematics written by Marble Nandwa Odhiambo and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the effect of using scientific calculators in Mathematics instruction and establish if they have any effect on students' achievement. The researcher was prompted by continuous poor performance in mathematics and yet it is a core subject in the school curriculum. There has been creation of various devices aimed at helping learners to get solutions to mathematical problems starting from counting sticks, abacus, slide rule, mathematical tables and scientific calculators in that order but no tangible evidence to show that scientific calculators will solve the problem in mathematics. Scientific calculators can be more effective than mathematical tables in improving students' achievement in mathematics and enhancing positive students' attitudes and motivation towards the subject. Scientific calculators can provide a point of departure to move away from the predominant expository teaching that gives the students very few opportunities to develop practical skills necessary for negotiating meanings, be creative and effectively participate in learning. It can also improve impoverished situation of mathematics instruction in secondary schools.
