This book was released on 1997 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the effect of journal writing in mathematics classes on achievement in and attitude towards mathematics. Achievement included school mathematics achievement, conceptual understanding, procedural knowledge, problem-solving, and mathematical communication. The differential effect of gender, program, level of writing achievement, and level of mathematics achievement were also investigated. The study was conducted on students in four sections in the first intermediate classes at the International College in Beirut, two of these sections are in the French program and the other two in the English program. The subjects were 104 students (59.6% boys) equally distributed to the four classes. At the beginning of the year, the school randomly assigned the subjects to four classes in the English program, and three classes in the French program. For the purpose of this study, two sections from each of the programs, were randomly assigned to be the treatment and control groups respectively. The subjects in the journal writing group (treatment group) wrote in their journals three times a week for a twelve-week period, while the students in the non-journal writing group (control group) were given drill exercises. Conceptual understanding, procedural knowledge, problem-solving, mathematical communication, school mathematics achievement, and attitude towards mathematics were measured by pre- and posttests. Two-way multivariate analysis of covariance was used to test the hypotheses with pretests scores as covariates. These analyses were repeated for gender, program, level of writing achievement, and level of mathematics achievement. The students' evaluation of the journal writing experience was qualitatively studied. Results showed that journal writing had a significant effect on conceptual understanding, procedural knowledge, and mathematical communication, and no significant effect on problem-solving, school mathematics achievement, and attitude towards mathematics. No significant results were found for the interaction between journal writing and gender, program, level of writing achievement, and level of mathematics achievement. Students perceived the benefits of journal writing as a learning tool that enhances understanding and reflection on one's learning. It also provides the students the opportunity to give opinions and release frustration.

Book excerpt: The demands of local, state, and national mandates on the classroom teacher became overwhelming to me. I decided that it must be possible to work towards several goals without doing several tasks. As a result, I implemented writing would affect student achievement. The study was implemented with 22 pre-calculus students during the first nine-week term of 2007-2008 school year at Benton Community Schools. Existing student attitudes towards math were assessed with a survey at the beginning of the study and reassessed at the conclusion of the study. A pretest of pre-calculus concepts was given at the beginning and at the conclusion of the study. Questions were split between skill-based questions, which required a numeric response, and conceptual-based questions, which required a numeric response, and conceptual-based questions, which required a written explanation. Students also wrote in a journal an average of two times per week. Two formal writing assignments were also given throughout the nine-week study. Results showed an increase in the number of students showing a positive attitude towards math along with an increase in student achievement. These results may be due to the implementation of writing in the mathematic curriculum.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has indicated that regular, systematic writing, over an extended period of time, improves student academic achievement and attitude towards mathematics. In addition there is support that assessment for learning strategies, such as descriptive feedback and peer and self-assessment, are vital to enhancing students' overall performance. Traditional teaching practices of chalk and talk do not meet the needs of students entering our classrooms today. Teachers must be innovative and rely on a combination of teaching methods to stimulate students' interest and to elicit participation in their own learning process. Journal writing has been more commonly associated with English/Language Arts classes. However, current research has found that when students write and explain what they are thinking in a written format, they gain a deeper understanding of the math concepts and skills. This book should help all educators in the K-12 setting see the relevance and importance of implementing the use of journal writing when teaching mathematics.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achievement in mathematics, as evidenced by scores on international assessments, is a persistent national concern. The expectations of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics are for students to make sense of problems and persevere in solving them, create coherent representations of problems, justify conclusions and communicate them to others, and respond to the arguments of others. This study was a mixed methods quasi-experimental design which utilized both quantitative and qualitative measures to answer four research questions about the use of learning logs. The study included five mathematics teachers and 210 students (109 control and 101 learning log) at one high school and examined the impact of a 12-week writing intervention on mathematics achievement of high school students. The study also sought to determine how math teachers implemented the use of learning logs and what their perceptions were regarding the intervention. Also of interest were student perceptions of their problem-solving ability and how those perceptions change as a result of the use of learning logs. Analysis showed that the use of learning logs did not produce a statistically significant effect on mathematics achievement or the self-evaluation of student problem solving ability. A teacher focus group meeting and learning log implementation records, combined with student attitude surveys and writing samples, provided evidence of ways in which learning logs were perceived as beneficial to student understanding of mathematics and teacher understanding of students' grasp of math concepts. Students agreed that learning logs were worth the extra effort and helped them learn better. Comments by students and teachers suggest that timely corrective feedback on learning logs was important to student learning and was difficult to produce for experienced high school math teachers. Specific professional development on providing effective feedback on learning logs merits attention in future implementations of content area writing in secondary math classrooms.
