Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare the academic achievement of students in looping programs from school systems in East Tennessee to their peers in traditional one-year instructional programs. Looping is defined as any program design that perpetuates a cohesive student group with the same teacher for more than one year. The study included all students who had completed fourth grade in 2001 at every school in East Tennessee that implemented a third/fourth grade looping design. Student scores reported for 1999, 2000, and 2001 on the TerraNova Standardized Achievement Test were obtained from individual student records. Comparisons were made on the Total Reading, Total Language, Total Math, and Total Battery scores. Differences between program design groups (looping and traditional) on "pre-looping" second grade (1999) scores were assessed using t-tests for two independent groups. Two-way Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), was used to examine the main effects of program design and student gender on 2000 and 2001 test scores, along with program design x gender interactions, while controlling for prior test score differences. The findings suggested that students in looping classrooms benefited academically by remaining with the same teacher and classmates for two successive years. Significant main effects were detected for program design in first year comparisons, as indicated by significantly higher scores on all four subtests. Scores for those in the looping classrooms remained significantly higher in second year comparisons on each subtest, except Total Language, even after controlling for third grade (2000) test scores. Significant main effects for gender were detected after the first year of participation in each design. This included significantly higher Total Language and Total Battery scores for female participants. No significant differences by gender were detected when scores were compared on the four subtests at the end of the two-year cycle. A program design x gender interaction was detected at the end of the first year. This interaction showed that female participants in looping classrooms showed higher Total Math achievement. A program design x gender interaction also occurred after the second year where male participants in the looping classrooms obtained higher Total Language scores.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study whose purpose was to determine if the practice of classroom looping (where a teacher moves with a class from one grade to the next, while the teacher previously teaching the higher class cycles to pick up a new class) affected the academic achievement scores at a Minnesota inner-city elementary school. Reading and math academic achievement score comparisons were used, based on the Stanford Achievement Test Series 10 (SAT10). The target population consisted of 38 students from looping classrooms at School A,and 33 students from non-looping classrooms at School B. Looping students had been with the same teacher for two consecutive years. Non-looping students, in traditional one-year classrooms, had attended School B for two years. Fifth-grade examination scores from the spring of 2005 were compared with gains made on the sixth-grade examination scores from the spring of 2006. Academic progress in reading and math was measured for these students through causal-comparative regression analysis. The results of this study indicated no statistically significant academic difference in reading levels between looping and non-looping students. Because of the small sample size, a Type II error may be a possibility; a longer and larger study would need to determine the accuracy of these results. The study's results did, however, indicate a statistically significant academic difference in math gain scores between looping and non-looping students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looping is the practice of a teacher staying with the same group of students for two or more years. This thesis examines the effect looping has on the academic achievement of students who participate in a three-year, grade four though six loop. An overview provides both historical and international backgrounds. This is followed by a summary of the literature focusing on the impacts looping has on parents, teachers, and students. Research was conducted at one elementary school with one class that had looped and one class that had not. The looping class included 27 out of a class of 34 students who had looped. The non-looping class consisted in 30 out of 33 students who had been together as students, but had had a different teacher each year. Research method consisted in the collection of standardized test data for both classes. A t-test for independent mean was applied to both math and English language arts data for both groups whole classes as well as disaggregated by gender and second-language learner status. The results of data analysis showed a recurrent theme of increased academic achievement in both math and English language arts for the looping group.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential text unpacks major transformations in the study of learning and human development and provides evidence for how science can inform innovation in the design of settings, policies, practice, and research to enhance the life path, opportunity and prosperity of every child. The ideas presented provide researchers and educators with a rationale for focusing on the specific pathways and developmental patterns that may lead a specific child, with a specific family, school, and community, to prosper in school and in life. Expanding key published articles and expert commentary, the book explores a profound evolution in thinking that integrates findings from psychology with biology through sociology, education, law, and history with an emphasis on institutionalized inequities and disparate outcomes and how to address them. It points toward possible solutions through an understanding of and addressing the dynamic relations between a child and the contexts within which he or she lives, offering all researchers of human development and education a new way to understand and promote healthy development and learning for diverse, specific youth regardless of race, socioeconomic status, or history of adversity, challenge, or trauma. The book brings together scholars and practitioners from the biological/medical sciences, the social and behavioral sciences, educational science, and fields of law and social and educational policy. It provides an invaluable and unique resource for understanding the bases and status of the new science, and presents a roadmap for progress that will frame progress for at least the next decade and perhaps beyond.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This phenomenological study highlighted the perceptions of teachers and parents toward the academic and social effects of looping in elementary schools. The purpose of this study was to determine if teachers and parents feel that looping in elementary schoolbetter supports student relationships, growth, and academic achievement. The sample for this study included elementary school teachers and parents in a large school district in South East USA., who have participated in one or more years of looping with a coed group or a single-gender group of students. Findings showed that parent-teacher relationships improved, students showed a greater level of comfortability with school, teachers were able to use student data to guide instruction while looping, and teacher classroom management improved. Key findings from this study gave insights intolooping so that teachers, parents, and administrators can make informed decisions regarding the delivery of instruction for students in the elementary school setting.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative study is to gain an understanding of the powerful instructional potential of combining the practice of looping, Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) professional development strategies, and the impact these practices have in addition to ethnicity in elementary education. The study focused on research questions pertaining to student's Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) scores and the implementation of looping, CGI strategies, and how ethnicity impacted student achievement. This study emphasizes two types of statistical tests to determine how significant CGI and looping practices impacted growth in mathematics on the MAP test for different ethnic groups. A Chi-Square statistic was used not to support that the hypothesis is correct, but rather to determine if there is an association between the different groups from each variable category (e.g., looping, CGI training, and ethnicity). A logistic regression was used to determine the odds ratio (or probability) of the response variable (MAP growth) occurring with a combination of explanatory variables (e.g. looping, CGI training, and ethnicity). The population established in this study was all students in grades K -- 5 that were representative of a stable history in the school district. A sample of the population was finalized at 1,103 students, and this number of K -- 5 students represented a consistent and stable presence in the school district over the past three years. The results of the statistical analysis suggest CGI is significant with helping students achieve growth in mathematics on the MAP test---especially with Hispanic students.
