Book The International Handbook of Collaborative Learning

Download or read book The International Handbook of Collaborative Learning written by Cindy E. Hmelo-Silver and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collaborative learning has become an increasingly important part of education, but the research supporting it is distributed across a wide variety of fields including social, cognitive, developmental, and educational psychology, instructional design, the learning sciences, educational technology, socio-cultural studies, and computer-supported collaborative learning. The goal of this book is to integrate theory and research across these diverse fields of study and, thereby, to forward our understanding of collaborative learning and its instructional applications. The book is structured into the following 4 sections: 1) Theoretical Foundations 2) Research Methodologies 3) Instructional Approaches and Issues and 4) Technology. Key features include the following: Comprehensive and Global – This is the first book to provide a comprehensive review of the widely scattered research on collaborative learning including the contributions of many international authors. Cross disciplinary – The field of collaborative learning is highly interdisciplinary drawing scholars from psychology, computer science, mathematics education, science education, and educational technology. Within psychology, the book brings together perspectives from cognitive, social, and developmental psychology as well as from the cross-disciplinary field of the learning sciences. Chapter Structure – To ensure consistency across the book, authors have organized their chapters around integrative themes and issues. Each chapter author summarizes the accumulated literature related to their chapter topic and identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the supporting evidence. Strong Methodology – Each chapter within the extensive methodology section describes a specific methodology, its underlying assumptions, and provide examples of its application. This book is appropriate for researchers and graduate level instructors in educational psychology, learning sciences, cognitive psychology, social psychology, computer science, educational technology, teacher education and the academic libraries serving them. It is also appropriate as a graduate level textbook in collaborative learning, computer-supported collaborative learning, cognition and instruction, educational technology, and learning sciences.

Book Involvement in Sixth grade Beginner Band

Download or read book Involvement in Sixth grade Beginner Band written by Lewanda Lynn Morse and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to increased rigor in mathematics education and attempts to produce students who achieve higher academic success and can compete internationally, the relationship between participation in music and mathematics achievement is of concern to educators and researchers. A positive relationship between music involvement and academic performance at various grade levels has been indicated by previous studies (Babo, 2004; Cardarelli, 2003; Huag, 2004; Johnson & Memmott, 2006; Schellenberg, 2005). This quasi-experimental, causal-comparative study employed a static-group comparison design to examine whether a statistically significant difference existed between the 2007 Mississippi Curriculum Test (MCT) mathematics growth residuals of sixth-grade beginner band students and non-beginner band students. The study also examined economically disadvantaged subgroup status within the sixth-grade beginner band and non-band groups to determine if a statistically significant difference existed between the mathematics growth residuals by level of involvement in sixth-grade beginner band, and more specifically, economically disadvantaged subgroup status. An analysis of variance (ANOVA), two-way classification was utilized with an alpha level of .05 to determine whether a significant difference existed between the mean mathematics growth residuals by level of beginner band participation and level of economically disadvantaged subgroup status and level of interaction between these factors. Further, with the data filtered by economically disadvantaged subgroup status, an independent t -test, with an alpha level of .05, was used to analyze the significance of the difference in mean mathematics growth residuals. Based on the ANOVA, significant differences were indicated with higher mean mathematics growth residuals for the sixth-grade beginner band students than for the non-band students. Differences by level of economically disadvantaged subgroup status were not significant, neither was the interaction between beginner band status and economically disadvantaged subgroup status. The independent t -test indicated the higher mean growth residuals for the sixth grade non-economically disadvantaged beginner band students were significant; however, no significant difference was noted between economically disadvantaged beginner band students and non-beginner band students. Suggestions for further study include utilizing mathematics growth residuals from current MCT2 administrations, replication of the study using larger sample sizes, and examining the effects of participation over a greater range of grades.

Book Effects of Assigned Group Roles on Mathematical Achievement

Download or read book Effects of Assigned Group Roles on Mathematical Achievement written by Annie Lou Bade and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to determine the effect that providing assigned roles when implementing cooperative learning had on math achievement in a 5th grade classroom. Specifically, the study looked at the gains in math achievement that occurred when students were assigned specific roles and tasks (recorder and includer) in cooperative learning groups in order to collect baseline data. All 23 students were then divided into groups of four and those groups were divided into 2 more groups, a comparison group and an intervention group. They took the post-unit assessment, which was the same assessment as the pre-unit. The researcher observed more on-task behavior with the intervention group students, but differences in test performance was not shown.

Book The SAGE Handbook of Special Education

Download or read book The SAGE Handbook of Special Education written by Lani Florian and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2006-11-16 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '[T]his book provides an excellent overview of special education, which will be a valuable resource for teachers, school managers and administrators, parents and indeed anyone with an interest in the development of provision for pupils with special educational needs. It is also likely to be an invaluable source book for researchers and postgraduate students alike' - REACH 'The Handbook offers a range of views on how to empower all learners to transcend their current performance and go "beyond the limits"' - Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology `This text makes an important contribution to special education. Perhaps, more significantly, it makes an important contribution to inclusive education, and possibly, even more widely, to education in general...it is a book that has significance for all of us who wish to move education towards a more equitable, democratic, humane, and dignified system for our young people' - Education in the North In recent years there has been increasingly vigorous debate about the nature and purpose of special education, and what might be considered the appropriate responses to pupils who experience difficulties in learning. This Handbook brings together the most up to date knowledge of this area and will serve as the major source book of authoritative information and ideas about current and future directions for special education. It examines the intricate relation between theory, research and practice, and places a particular emphasis on what has been learned about providing for students who experience difficulties in learning, how these understandings can contribute to new conceptualisations of special education and the development of more inclusive schools. This comprehensive, research-based work, brings together scholarship on an international level, and covers topics that transcend national boundaries. It will become essential reading for all professionals and academics with any interest in this important and dynamic field.

Book The Effects of Project Based Learning on Middle School Students Attitudes and Achievement in Mathematics Education

Download or read book The Effects of Project Based Learning on Middle School Students Attitudes and Achievement in Mathematics Education written by Allison Arnold and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this action research study of a sixth-grade mathematics classroom, I investigated how using Project Based Learning combined with collaborative learning influenced students'attitudes and beliefs in learning mathematics. I discovered that using a Project Based Learning approach to instruction helped the students see connections to math and the real world. They felt that math became something exciting instead of just lessons from a book. I also found that most students preferred to work in small groups because they had come to count on their peers for support. They felt that they were more comfortable asking their peers questions in a small-group setting than asking questions in a traditional classroom setting. Through this Project Based Learning, it also was found that classroom engagement increased when student interest was combined with a variety of challenging and authentic problem-solving tasks. Finally, this action research supports collaborative learning in the mathematics classroom because when children work together it leads to higher self-confidence and positive attitudes.
