Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student achievement in science is becoming a major problem among students at all grade levels. In fact, the most recent U.S. science report card exposed that only 16 out of the 50 states have made small academic gains in science. What is more, students in both private and public schools are doing rather poorly in science at the elementary level. Studies have attributed these poor science performance to the use of traditional teaching methods, instead of the constructivists approach to teaching science causing a dramatic fall in student performance, while the science achievement gap increases between the United States and its rival countries. Research clearly indicates that constructivists approach leads to more successful outcomes, increasing student engagement, critical thinking skills, and even their overall desire to learn. The suggested curriculum project examines suggests the effectiveness of the constructivist approach to teaching science to students. It advances the argument of how the constructivist approach is more engaging, meets the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), California Common Core Standards and significantly increases students critically thinking skills. The sole objective for the curriculum proposal is to inspire an approach to learning science in a manner that is truly effective and more meaningful for students so they can make academic advances in science.
Download or read book Systematic Reviews and Meta Analysis written by Jacqueline Corcoran and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-02-13 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When used in tandem, systematic reviews and meta-analysis-- two distinct but highly compatible approaches to research synthesis-- form a powerful, scientific approach to analyzing previous studies. But to see their full potential, a social work researcher must be versed in the foundational processes underlying them. This pocket guide to Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis illuminates precisely that practical groundwork. In clear, step-by-step terms, the authors explain how to format topics, locate and screen studies, extract and assess data, pool effect sizes, determine bias, and interpret the results, showing readers how to combine reviewing and meta-analysis correctly and effectively. Each chapter contains vivid social work examples and concludes with a concise summary and notes on further reading, while the book's glossary and handy checklists and sample search and data extraction forms maximize the boo'ks usefulness. Highlighting the concepts necessary to understand, critique, and conduct research synthesis, this brief and highly readable introduction is a terrific resource for students and researchers alike.
Download or read book Education Is Upside Down written by Eric Kalenze and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education Is Upside Down cuts through adjustments being made at technical levels of educational practice and accountability, challenging ideals and philosophies that have powered American Education for most of the last century. This book explains how and why long-standing approaches generate flawed instructional practices, flawed systemic reform efforts, and a fundamental misalignment between the educational institution and the society it is missioned to serve. Education Is Upside Down urges readers wishing to improve American Education to more carefully consider the institution’s central mission, challenge long-accepted truths of practice, and question current reform efforts and actions. In full, Education Is Upside Down resists the practitioner-vs.-reformer blame game, seeking ultimately to carefully untangle—not tighten by yanking on any single strand—the long-complicated knot of American Education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1999. This book arose from a growing awareness of student teachers' need for an easy, informative and inspiring book about the constructivist approach. On hearing that label, students tend to react either with, 'Isn't that marvellous - the answer to all my problems', or 'Sounds fine in theory, but I couldn't do it'. Both are wrong. This book may help to get the balance right.

Download or read book In Search of Understanding written by Jacqueline G. Brooks and published by ASCD. This book was released on 1999-07-15 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The activities that transpire within the classroom either help or hinder students' learning. Any meaningful discussion of educational renewal, therefore, must focus explicitly and directly on the classroom, and on the teaching and learning that occur within it. This book presents a case for the development of classrooms in which students are encouraged to construct deep understandings of important concepts. Jacqueline Grennon Brooks and Martin Brooks present a new set of images for educational settings, images that emerge from student engagement, interaction, reflection, and construction. They have considerable experience in creating constructivist educational settings and conducting research on those settings. Authentic examples are provided throughout the book, as are suggestions for administrators, teachers, and policymakers. For the new edition of their popular book, the authors have written an introduction that places their work in today's educational renewal setting. Today, they urge, the case for constructivist classrooms is much stronger and the need more critical. Note: This product listing is for the Adobe Acrobat (PDF) version of the book.

Download or read book The Comprehensive Handbook of Constructivist Teaching written by James Pelech and published by IAP. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many people talk about the Constructivist philosophy, there has not been a publication that provides a detailed description of what a Constructivist classroom sounds like and looks like. This book fills that void by examining the philosophy, translating it into teaching strategies, and providing over forty examples. These examples come from the elementary level up to and including the collegiate level, and include all content areas. These examples show how the Constructivist educator uses the linguistic mode, the visual mode, and the kinesthetic mode to create a class environment in which the Constructivist philosophy flourishes. Examples of student work are provided; the book also includes chapters on note-taking, Problem-Based Learning (PBL), action research, and other Constructivist resources. Written in user-friendly form, this book presents a concrete and step by step approach for translating the Constructivist philosophy into classroom practice. This book is intended for every Constructivist researcher, practitioner, and teacher-educator. The researcher and teacher-educator will benefit from topics such as the history of Constructivist thought, the principles of Constructivism and action research. This book is more than a list of recipes, and this will be beneficial to the practitioner. Starting with the principles of Constructivism, and bridging to four basic teaching strategies, the practitioner is guided on how to use different learning modes and “meta-strategies” to create a true Constructivist practice. An educator’s life is made up of one’s philosophy, teaching principles, daily strategies, resources, and research tools. This book provides an in-depth look, from the Constructivist perspective, at each one of these components. In every sense of the word, this book is truly “comprehensive.”

Download or read book Constructivist Approach written by Kimeko McCray and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a program designed to enhance social studies skills and knowledge. The target areas for enhancement are geography, economics, history, and core democratic values. The need for strengthening these skills was documented by literature, and surveys. An analysis of probable cause for lack of social studies skills revealed that Constructivist technique may improve students' academic performance and achievement. Social and Cognitive Constructivist learning methods were the main focus of the interventions chosen to help students achieve higher academic achievements. Post-intervention data upheld the premise to what extent that these strategies would serve to raise the students skills and understanding in the area of social studies and community. A qualitative research and action research design will be used in a survey sampling 25 teachers between the ages of 25 and 50 years old throughout the Southeast Michigan, including urban and suburban schools. The following are appended: (1) Questionnaire; (2) Informed Consent Form; and (3) Approval Request Form. [Master's in Special Education, Marygrove College.].
