This book was released on 2015 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This single case study explored the relationship between non-academic interventions that supported student psychosocial factors and remedial math success. The theoretical framework proposed that remedial math success was linked to psychosocial factors as described by Bandura's social cognitive theory rather than merely cognitive factors possessed by the student. The literature review revealed that remedial math success in community colleges was chronically problematic, that psychosocial factors were fundamental to human development and learning and well supported by neuroscience, and that above average academic success has long been positively correlated with programs of non-academic interventions. According to the findings of this study, non-academic interventions such as case management, cohorts, accelerated remedial math coursework, childcare, and emergency financial assistance, provided psychosocial support essential to learning and development, which in turn resulted in extraordinary success in remedial math completion. The conclusion drawn from the findings is that effective psychosocial support is essential to achieving exceptional remedial math success rates.

Download or read book The Effects of a Remedial Math Intervention on Standardized Test Scores in Georgia Middle Schools written by Chastity London Adams and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools are looking for interventions to improve academic achievement and increase test scores due to the requirements of No Child Left Behind. One such intervention in middle schools is remedial math. This causal comparative study examined the differences in the standardized test scores for at-risk students who receive remedial math instruction and at-risk students who do not receive this intervention. In addition, this study examined gender differences for the remedial math students. The Georgia Criterion-Referenced Competency Test of 293 at-risk seventh-grade students was used in this study. Using the previous year's standardized math test scores as a control variable, there was a significant relationship between at-risk students taking remedial math and higher scores on standardized tests, regardless of gender.

This book was released on 2022-03-28 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective Teaching Strategies for Dyscalculia and Learning Difficulties in Mathematics provides an essential bridge between scientific research and practical interventions with children. It unpacks what we know about the possible cognitive causation of mathematical difficulties in order to improve teaching and therefore learning. Each chapter considers a specific domain of children’s numerical development: counting and the understanding of numbers, understanding of the base-10 system, arithmetic, word problem solving, and understanding rational numbers. The accessible guidance includes a literature review on each topic, surveying how each process develops in children, the difficulties encountered at that level by some pupils, and the intervention studies that have been published. It guides the reader step-by-step through practical guidelines of how to assess these processes and how to build an intervention to help children master them. Illustrated throughout with examples of materials used in the effective interventions described, this essential guide offers deep understanding and effective strategies for developmental and educational psychologists, special educational needs and/or disabilities coordinators, and teachers working with children experiencing mathematical difficulties.

Download or read book Parents Supporting Their Adolescents Independent Remedial Math Practice written by Mackenzie S. Sommerhalder and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examined the effects of high school students' independent, remedial, home-based math practice while receiving parent support on math computation fluency. The multi-component intervention package encompassed both home-based remedial practice and parent support. Teacher interviews, normative assessments, and a performance-deficit analysis were conducted to identify high-school students who displayed math academic skill deficits. Next, identification and analysis of individual skills (e.g., multiplication, division) to be targeted for intervention occurred for each participant included in the study. A multiple-baseline across participants design was used to examine teaching high school students to choose effective instructional components for math computation and subsequently given support to implement the intervention(s) of their choice on math computation fluency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Age of Accountability highlights the role of test-based accountability as a policy framework in American education from 1970 to 2020. For more than half a century, the quest to hold schools and educators accountable for academic achievement has relied almost exclusively on standardized assessment. The theory of change embedded in almost all test-based accountability programs held that assessment with stipulated consequences could lead to major improvements in schools. This was accomplished politically by proclaiming lofty goals of attaining universal proficiency and closing achievement gaps, which repeatedly failed to materialize. But even after very clear disappointments, no other policy framework has emerged to challenge its hegemony. The American public today has little confidence in institutions to improve the quality of goods and services they provide, especially in the public sector. As a consequence, many Americans continue to believe that accountability remains a vital necessity, even if educators and policy scholars disagree.
Download or read book Psychology and Mathematics Education written by Gila Hanna and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Mathematics is constructed rigorously through proofs, based on truths, which are either axioms or previously proven theorems. Thus, it is par excellence a model of rational inquiry. Links between Cognitive Psychology and Mathematics Education have been particularly strong during the last decades. Indeed, the Enlightenment view of the rational human mind that reasons, makes decisions and solves problems based on logic and probabilities, was shaken during the second half of the twentieth century. Cognitive psychologists discovered that humans' thoughts and actions often deviate from rules imposed by strict normative theories of inference. Yet, these deviations should not be called "errors": as Cognitive Psychologists have demonstrated, these deviations may be either valid heuristics that succeed in the environments in which humans have evolved, or biases that are caused by a lack of adaptation to abstract information formats. Humans, as the cognitive psychologist and economist Herbert Simon claimed, do not usually optimize, but rather satisfice, even when solving problem. This Research Topic aims at demonstrating that these insights have had a decisive impact on Mathematics Education. We want to stress that we are concerned with the view of bounded rationality that is different from the one espoused by the heuristics-and-biases program. In Simon’s bounded rationality and its direct descendant ecological rationality, rationality is understood in terms of cognitive success in the world (correspondence) rather than in terms of conformity to content-free norms of coherence (e.g., transitivity).

Download or read book Psychological Factors in the Academic Achievement of Remedial level English Students in Community College written by Heather Morgan Jennings and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rates of in-coming college students in need of academic remediation are on the rise, for both community college and four-year colleges. Consequently, many of these students will be required to enroll in some level of academic remediation in reading, writing and/or math to develop the basic skills necessary for student success in college-level courses. Poor completion rates in remedial courses and the limited progression by remedial students to enter advanced college-level study make these students more "at-risk" for course failure and subsequent college drop-out. This study is designed to help educators and college administrators understand the cognitive and non-cognitive factors of academic achievement as they develop educational programs that that involve community college students in remediation. This study examines the various factors most associated with academic achievement for community college students in remedial English classes. The predictor variables were categorized into three groups: demographic, psychological and academic aptitude. The relationship between academic achievement and the predictor variables was investigated through self-reported data provided by 395 remedial-level students from a community college in the Northeastern United States. The self-report data were gathered through a questionnaire that contained a combination of sub-scales from standardized instruments. Additional data, such as, official final course grade and Accuplacer pre and post-test scores, matriculation status and degree program were provided by the community college involved in this study. To determine which variables are most predictive of academic success, independent-samples-t-tests and binary logistic regressions were conducted on all the significant demographic, achievement and psychological predictor variables. Results of this study suggest that the Accuplacer reading pre-test scores are the only predictor of academic success in remedial-level College writing, whereas, decreased levels of school engagement and self-doubt, student-predicted final course grade, race and Accuplacer pre-test reading scores predict academic success for remedial reading students. Additionally, this study revealed that students who completed the remedial-course had increased Accuplacer reading scores which demonstrated significant improvement in reading comprehension. However, African-American students performed lower than all other racial groups on this assessment and illustrated the Matthew effect, or a widening of the achievement gap. It is important to acknowledge that this sample deviates significantly from what is expected at both the traditional four-year and community college. This study captured a very large sample of African American students (48%) and other minority groups (32%) in remedial education at a community college. It is likely that the factors that affect academic achievement in this group are very different from what has been previously investigated among a more traditional college population. In light of the evidence presented in this research, higher education administrators, educators and researchers must be aware of the differences that exist between remedial-level students in reading and writing courses. Results from this study can inform students, parents, educators and higher education administrators about the factors most associated with academic success in remedial-English courses at community colleges. These findings could also be used to inform, and provide support for, the development of new student services procedures designed to help incoming and at-risk students achieve success.
