Book The Effects of Using Cooperative Learning Groups in an Accelerated Algebra 1 Class

Download or read book The Effects of Using Cooperative Learning Groups in an Accelerated Algebra 1 Class written by Heather Caruso and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to reflect on current teaching practices and develop strategies that would engage and support all students in learning. Building upon prior studies, it was the researcher's intent to examine the effects of using cooperative learning groups with an accelerated math class. For this research, a nonexperimental design was used. The study involved 56 seventh and eighth grade students. The study took place at a middle school in Southern California. The researcher used a pre-test and post-test to determine academic achievement within a three week period. The researcher taught the control group using a teacher-centered approach and the experimental group was taught using cooperative learning groups. The results from this study indicate that the use of cooperative grouping was beneficial to the overall class as well as the top students in each class. KEYWORDS: Accelerated math class, cooperative grouping, middle school, non experimental design, teacher-centered approach

Book The Effect of Cooperative Learning on Middle School Math Students

Download or read book The Effect of Cooperative Learning on Middle School Math Students written by Heather A. Remillard and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore cooperative learning and the impact on middle school students overall academic achievement. The study included 47 students from a small private school, ranging from grades sixth through eighth. The researcher examined student perception of cooperative learning, implementation process and the overall impact of cooperative learning groups. The researcher used results from MAP tests, overall grades, observations and students pre- and post- questionnaires. The study found that in the classrooms where cooperative learning was implemented, students had academic growth in math that exceeded the national average, they built strong relationships with their classmates, and they enjoyed working in the cooperative groups. Students in these classrooms expressed a positive impression about math. The following are appended: (1) Student Questionnaire-Pre; (2) Table 1; (3) Table 2; and (4) Student Questionnaire-Post.

Book Advances in Meta Analysis

Download or read book Advances in Meta Analysis written by Terri Pigott and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of the book is advanced statistical analyses for quantitative research synthesis (meta-analysis), and selected practical issues relating to research synthesis that are not covered in detail in the many existing introductory books on research synthesis (or meta-analysis). Complex statistical issues are arising more frequently as the primary research that is summarized in quantitative syntheses itself becomes more complex, and as researchers who are conducting meta-analyses become more ambitious in the questions they wish to address. Also as researchers have gained more experience in conducting research syntheses, several key issues have persisted and now appear fundamental to the enterprise of summarizing research. Specifically the book describes multivariate analyses for several indices commonly used in meta-analysis (e.g., correlations, effect sizes, proportions and/or odds ratios), will outline how to do power analysis for meta-analysis (again for each of the different kinds of study outcome indices), and examines issues around research quality and research design and their roles in synthesis. For each of the statistical topics we will examine the different possible statistical models (i.e., fixed, random, and mixed models) that could be adopted by a researcher. In dealing with the issues of study quality and research design it covers a number of specific topics that are of broad concern to research synthesists. In many fields a current issue is how to make sense of results when studies using several different designs appear in a research literature (e.g., Morris & Deshon, 1997, 2002). In education and other social sciences a critical aspect of this issue is how one might incorporate qualitative (e.g., case study) research within a synthesis. In medicine, related issues concern whether and how to summarize observational studies, and whether they should be combined with randomized controlled trials (or even if they should be combined at all). For each topic, included is a worked example (e.g., for the statistical analyses) and/or a detailed description of a published research synthesis that deals with the practical (non-statistical) issues covered.

Book Effects of Cooperative Learning on Social and Mathematics Achievement

Download or read book Effects of Cooperative Learning on Social and Mathematics Achievement written by Kagnew Tarekegn and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cooperative learning has ancient roots in many societies. As a field, it was originated from social psychology dating back to Norman Triplett's observations in 1898 of cyclists' enhanced performances when they cycled together rather than alone. The application of cooperative learning in the classroom has been the focus of research since early 1970s. In this study, quasi-experimental research design in which pretest-posttest non-equivalent groups design was employed to examine the effects of STAD cooperative learning against traditional lecture on social and mathematics achievement of primary school students. Most people consider cooperative learning as group learning. In practice, cooperative learning is not just group-learning rather it is more than group learning. It is also a cornerstone of inclusive education because inclusion is not something teachers do for a few students rather it is something teachers can do for every student in their class by applying the principles of cooperative learning.

Book A Study of the Use of Cooperative Learning with at Risk Students in Mathematics

Download or read book A Study of the Use of Cooperative Learning with at Risk Students in Mathematics written by Rebecca A. Rogers and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The investigator examined the academic and attitude effects of cooperative learning instruction on 46 fifth grade at-risk students in mathematics from two different fifth grade classrooms. The experimental group was taught math in the researcher’s classroom with cooperative learning strategies; whereas the control group was taught using whole group instruction with traditional methods. A two sample t test for independent samples was conducted on the posttest results to determine if there were significant differences between the control and experimental groups. There was a significant difference in academic achievement between the experimental group and the control group. Student opinion surveys were used to determine if there was a significant difference in the attitudes of students taught with cooperative learning and those taught by traditional methods. The study indicated that there was no significant difference in attitude.
