This book was released on 2015 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a widely held belief among stakeholders in the field of mathematics education that we as a nation are losing ground when it comes to educating our students. In the past, technology has been used by educators to augment student learning. However, as we move deeper into the twenty-first century, the role of technology is beginning to change from that of supporting instruction to actively teaching students. Classroom flipping is an example of how technology can be used in this manner, and it has been posited that it could change the educational landscape forever. Classroom Flipping is the practice of taking direct instruction and moving it from the group learning environment to the individual learning environment (Mussalam, 2012). The concept of classroom flipping is a relatively new idea in the field of education, but is becoming increasing prevalent in the educational lexicon, as well as the research literature. Recent surveys in the field demonstrate an increase in the number of teachers, administrators and stake holders who are interested in the practice and believe it is a valid teaching method that will, for many content areas, become the preferred method of content delivery. Research in the field at the secondary and post-secondary level is becoming more readily available; however there has been very little published research at the elementary level. Research at this level is fraught with ethical, legal, and logistical difficulties. As traditional experimental methods are not always practical to educators and researchers, this study explored the use of a statistical method known as Propensity Score Matching (PSM). PSM enables researchers to use data from observational studies to create a “quasi-experimental” setting that mimics a randomized controlled trial in order to determine treatment effects (Rosenbaum and Rubin, 1983). PSM also has been shown to reduce the biases known to plague observational studies when attempting to use them to determine treatment effects. PSM relies heavily on the ability of users to establish covariate balance through the use of propensity scores, and this dissertation will provide readers with the criteria by which researchers can ensure covariate balance. For this study, statistical and graphical tools were used to determine that a 1:5 treatment to control group ratio, without replacement of control subjects, and with a .1 caliper distance used to match control units was optimal for the purposes of matching subjects. Second, utilizing PSM, this study determined that there were no statistically significant differences between the learning outcomes of sixth graders who have received a flipped learning experience and those who haven’t on a standardized assessment. This study utilized the data from a teacher in the Washoe County School District (WCSD) known to have used the flipped learning method with her sixth grade math students and compared their learning outcomes on the Math Criterion Reference Test (CRT) to other sixth grade students who did not receive flipped instruction in their sixth mathematics classes. Third, this study used survey responses from WCSD teachers who have flipped their math and science classes to explore their perceptions of (a) what constitutes a flipped classroom, (b) how student performance has changed as a result of flipping their classes, and (c) how their roles as educators has changed as a consequence of flipping their classes. The survey results showed that teachers’ beliefs about what constitutes a flipped classroom is consistent with the literature. They also believe that student performance has improved as a result of flipping their classes. Lastly, they believe their roles as educators have changed into more collaborative roles, where they are able to spend more time and explore deeper concepts with their students. This study will add to the growing body of literature around classroom flipping and Propensity Score Matching in educational research. Ideally, educational researchers will use this study as a starting point to continue and expand upon the ideas introduced in this study, and conclusively determine a concrete set of best practices both for educators choosing to flip their classes and educational researchers wanting to use PSM in their work.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The research question addressed in this project was, in what ways can flipped learning help to meet the needs of students of high academic ability in the sixth grade math classroom? It documents one teacher's use of flipped learning, the brainchild of Bergmann and Sams (2010, 2011, 2012), in conjunction with best practice strategies to differentiate for high achieving sixth grade math students. Strategies used included preassessments, learning contracts, curriculum compacting, Most Difficult First, and anchor activities. The author documents home and classroom routines for students in a flipped classroom and discusses advantages and disadvantages to flipped learning. Ultimately, she concludes that, while there remains room for improvement, flipped learning is an effective strategy for meeting the needs of students of high academic ability."--
Download or read book The Effects of Flipped Learning on Middle School Students Achievement with Common Core Mathematics written by Jared Montgomery and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common Core State Standards (CCSS) has caused K-12 math teachers to search for new pedagogical strategies to instruct their students. This study investigated whether a popular learning environment called flipped learning is a valuable instructional technique to be used with a seventh grade CCSS's math curriculum that emphasizes problem-based learning. Flipped learning is a form of blended learning that combines information and communication technology with instruction that switches the focus of the classroom instruction from one that is teacher-centered to one that is student-centered. Literature is limited with flipped learning being integrated in a K-12 math classroom. However, literature suggests that flipped learning and California CCSS Mathematics Framework share a commonality based on technology-supported learning, student-centered instruction and problem-based learning activities. This study used a quasi-experimental methodology with a repeated measures design to compare the effects flipped learning had on a group of middle school students' academic achievement in a seventh grade CCSS math class. The two cohorts' (control and intervention group) results from three measures (pre-test and two post-tests) were analyzed using three analyses: difference in average scaled scores, Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance, and t-tests to determine if there was a difference in performance. Though the findings show the effects of flipped learning were insignificant; the results from this study still suggest that flipped learning is equally an effective learning environment for student-centered instruction and/or blending other learning environments for K-12 teachers.

Download or read book The Flipped mastery Learning Phenomenon written by Danielle Faith Walton and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The flipped-mastery learning phenomenon combines the principles of mastery learning with a redesigned instructional approach in which class time is repurposed to foster student engagement and self-efficacy through active, personalized learning experiences (Bergmann & Sams, 2015). Theoretical underpinnings acknowledge a strong relationship between active learning and the constructs of student engagement and self-efficacy. The purpose of this mixed-methods explanatory case study was to investigate students’ and teachers’ perceptions of engagement and self-efficacy within the context of a flipped-mastery learning environment. The findings suggest that a large percentage of students had positive perceptions of self-efficacy and engagement. Moreover, the results indicated that the teacher had a high-degree of self-efficacious beliefs in her ability to affect students’ levels of engagement.

Book excerpt: This study sought to investigate the relationship between the flipped classroom and student learning. The purpose of this study was to determine if the technique of a flipped classroom, in which initial learning is done outside of the classroom and practice is done within the classroom, contributed to greater gains in student learning. There was one main question researched in this study: Do students in a flipped classroom show evidence of increased learning compared to those in a traditional classroom? The research was performed at a private Christian suburban high school with 25 students over a 4-week period. Data were collected using a pre-test and a post-test design and subsequently analyzed using independent-samples t tests. The results showed that while there was no statistically significant difference in gain scores between the control and experimental groups, the raw scores showed positive results in favor of the flipped classroom. The raw data produced other interesting trends, such as the fact that females seemed to respond better to the flipped classroom model than males and that the bottom and top third of the experimental class had higher gain scores than the control classroom. However, in order to investigate these phenomena and the overall effectiveness of the flipped classroom in secondary education, more research should be done.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching Mathematics is nothing less than a mathematical manifesto. Arising in response to a limited National Curriculum, and engaged with secondary schooling for those aged 11 ̶ 14 (Key Stage 3) in particular, this handbook for teachers will help them broaden and enrich their students’ mathematical education. It avoids specifying how to teach, and focuses instead on the central principles and concepts that need to be borne in mind by all teachers and textbook authors—but which are little appreciated in the UK at present.This study is aimed at anyone who would like to think more deeply about the discipline of ‘elementary mathematics’, in England and Wales and anywhere else. By analysing and supplementing the current curriculum, Teaching Mathematics provides food for thought for all those involved in school mathematics, whether as aspiring teachers or as experienced professionals. It challenges us all to reflect upon what it is that makes secondary school mathematics educationally, culturally, and socially important.

Book excerpt: This study examines the relationship between mathematics achievement and the instructional approach used (flipped versus traditional). A suburban school district located outside of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul implemented flipped learning instruction in one-half of all six elementary sites across the district. Half of the students in fifth grade mathematics classes received instruction via traditional lecture-style teaching methodology while the other half of the students received instruction via flipped learning instruction. Data was collected over three years time and a comparison of the quantitative results based on flipped versus non-flipped classes, differences between student groups as defined by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) subgroups, and differences between quartile rankings of students. Student growth was measured spring-to-spring using the NWEA MAP mathematics assessment. These findings are reviewed and flipped instruction growth in fifth grade mathematics classrooms was statistically significant in favor of flipped instruction overall. When defined by demographics flipped classroom students in the free and reduced price lunch program also outperform those in traditional instruction. This research is valuable to mathematics teachers, principals, administrators, curriculum directors, and math coaches in evaluating the further impact of flipped instruction as a means to integrate technology and personalize instruction for students."--Leaf 3.
