Download or read book The Effects of IPad Devices on Elementary School Students Mathematics Achievement and Attitudes written by Jaclyn Singer and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The integration of educational technology continues to increase as schools are endeavoring to challenge the traditional philosophy and practices of American schools. While there are many opportunities for the use of technology in classrooms and to design instruction employing the most recent technological tools, there is a need to better understand how to integrate iPad devices effectively in elementary math instruction. In response to these challenges, this exploratory case study that included quasi-experimental quantitative and qualitative data investigated the effect of iPad devices, as an individual learning tool on third grade students’ achievement and attitudes towards mathematics. The central research question that guided this study was: What is the process by which NPS School adopted iPads into a third grade mathematics classroom and what impact did it have on elementary school students’ mathematics achievement and attitudes? The succeeding sub-questions helped to provide a more complete and holistic view of the problem of practice. How does third grade students’ math achievement differ when integrating an iPad into instruction compared to the traditional-textbook based education for a unit of study? and How do students attitudes towards mathematics differ when using tablet devices compared to the traditional means of instruction? These research questions were answered using two sections of a third grade mathematics course, one that received teaching based on traditional instructional pedagogies while the other group received instruction with the integration of an iPad device. Course content, instructional design, assessments, inventories and the instructor remained consistent for both groups; the only difference was the intervention of iPads. Data on students’ learning achievement was collected through pre and post-tests and students’ attitudes were measured based on an Attitudes Towards Mathematics Inventory (ATMI). Interviews were conducted with the participating instructor and coordinating administrator to provide more inclusive and holistic results. In addition, documents, in the form of teacher lessons plans were analyzed to provide further information about what teachers intended to do; specifically how the iPad device was used during the lesson. The results that emerged from this study exposed inconsistencies between the quantitative and qualitative data. Specifically, the results from the post-test and ATMI did not show a statistically significant difference while the interviews with the participating adults created a picture of a noticeable increase in student engagement, attitudes and productivity for students that used iPads for instruction compared to the students who did not use the devices.

Download or read book Impact of IPad Technology on Achievement in Math written by Cody Joseph Geiser and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As iPads become more prevalent in education, questions about their effect on student achievement are important to explore. By setting up a control group, who are taught using traditional techniques, and an experimental group, who have each lesson supplemented with iPad activities, the study was designed to shed some light on how iPads can influence student achievement in mathematics. Data from the students' scores and their own analysis of their learning was used to determine the outcome of the study. The results of the analysis of study found that Algebra 8 classroom using iPads tested lower and improved less than the classroom that was taught without the iPad supplemental activities. However, the student response to utilizing iPads regularly in class was strongly favored and the students as a whole felt that the iPad activities did help them learn. Due to a variety of reasons and factors, further research on utilizing technology in education will be important for schools and educators to make decisions about how best to educate their students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chavez Elementary School was the first school in the Norwalk La Mirada Unified School District to implement a one-to-one iPad program in a classroom. This descriptive case study was driven by the question: In a population of sixth graders in a self-contained class, what were the impacts of one-to-one iPad technology access on the student academic achievement? The researcher sought to: examine the impact of the iPad program on student test scores; identify the types of programs/activities implemented by the teacher for use of technology to improve student learning; and examine students' view of their academic achievement before and after their participation in the iPad program. Using quantitative and qualitative methods, the researcher collected data during the third trimester of the year of iPad implementation. Data included California Standard Test (CST) and District Benchmark Assessment scores, a teacher questionnaire, and a student survey. The results of the data were compiled and presented with a descriptive statistical analysis. Positive impacts of the one-to-one program were found on CST English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics scores, California Modified Assessment ELA scores, and District Benchmark Assessment ELA and mathematics scores. Results suggest that students viewed the iPad program as impactful to their motivation for learning, engagement during lessons and activities, and their academic achievement in vocabulary development, writing, and mathematics.

Download or read book The Impact of the Measures of Academic Progress MAP Program on Student Reading Achievement written by David S. Cordray and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most widely used commercially available systems incorporating benchmark assessment and training in differentiated instruction is the Northwest Evaluation Association's (NWEA) Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) program. The MAP program involves two components: (1) computer-adaptive assessments administered to students three to four times per year, and (2) teacher training and access to MAP resources on how to use data from these assessments to differentiate instruction. This report focuses on the program's impact after the second year of implementation, and seeks to answer the following questions on implementation fidelity and student outcomes: (1) Were MAP resources (training, consultation, web-based materials) delivered by NWEA and received and used by teachers as planned?; (2) Did MAP teachers apply differentiated instructional practices in their classes to a greater extent than their control counterparts?; (3) Did the MAP program (that is, training plus benchmark testing feedback) affect the reading achievement of grades 4 and 5 students after the second year of implementation, as measured by the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) reading scale scores or the MAP composite test scores in reading and language use?; and (4) Were there variations in the impacts of the MAP intervention on grades 4 or 5 ISAT reading and MAP composite scores across subgroups of students after the second year of implementation? The study focused on grade 4 and 5 students in 32 public elementary schools across five districts in Illinois. The differential impact among low and high ability students at grade 4 suggests that the MAP program may have the greatest impact on low and high ability students.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This mixed-method study, conducted in four southeastern Pennsylvania school districts, examined the impact of teacher perceptions of a one-to-one computing program on the growth of student 21st learning skills as well as the impact on student achievement data, as measured by Grade Point Average (GPA) scores and the Pennsylvania System of School Assessments (PSSA) proficiency rates in a middle school setting. The study examined the perceptions of 27 middle school teachers during the fall semester of the 2017 school year. In addition, three years of proficiency rates, from 2015 to 2017, of PSSA scores for each school and GPA data were collected and examined. Proficiency rates for each school were calculated and used to identify trends when compared to the state PSSA proficiency rates as well as the other schools' PSSA proficiency rates that were included in the study. Despite a stable and slightly increasing proficiency rate in overall state ELA and Math PSSA scores over the three years studied, a variable and decreasing trend in proficiency rates was found in the school level PSSA scores for the four schools studied, particularly in mathematics and science. In addition, despite positive perceptions about their districts one-to-one implementation, infrastructure, and leadership, teacher responses indicated concerns regarding the impact computing devices have on student achievement in their classroom, as measured by 21st century learning skills, particularly when it came to critical thinking and creativity.

Download or read book The Effects of IPad Applications as an Instructional Tool for Mathematical Achievement and Motivation written by Anne E. Zabel and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research and intervention was to determine if the use of iPad technology during mathematical instruction would increase student achievement and motivation. During the five-week intervention, the participant was taught strategies for solving double and triple digit addition and subtraction equations. Those strategies were paired with the use of iPad technology. By the end of the five-week intensive intervention, the participant made large gains on the post-test as well as maintaining more consistent scores on the progress monitoring probes throughout the length of the study. Furthermore, the participant’s motivation and excitement of learning mathematics also increased by the end of this five-week study. Increasing the intensity of the intervention, adding engaging iPad technology and providing immediate feedback were some of the strengths of this study. Some of the limitations were providing a clear understanding of the Math Attitudes Survey to the participant as well as only working with one student in the study. Some of the recommendations made for classroom teachers in general from this study were coupling traditional mathematic instruction with specific technology and giving students a second chance to answer problems that were solved incorrectly the first time. Some of the recommendations made for teachers working with the participant specific to this study included allowing the student to use his own dry/erase whiteboard to solve problems, encouraging him to pay careful attention to the problems instead of focusing on how fast he can work, providing immediate feedback for the student and working to build a good relationship with him so he feels supported and confident with his work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As advances in technology allowed national and state education assessments to be administered digitally, many school districts transitioned to computer-based instructional programs and assessments to improve student achievement and better prepare students for high-stakes computerized assessments. One such rural public school district in Mississippi implemented a supplemental web-based instructional program, i-Ready, for the first time in the 2017-2018 school year. The purpose of this study was (a) to investigate the effects of the i-Ready program on student achievement in Grades 4 – 5 reading/language arts and mathematics and (b) to determine if there were significant differences in growth (from pretest to posttest) among performance levels of students in Grades 4 – 5 on the 2017 state assessment in reading/language arts and mathematics. A quantitative research design using existing data was used to conduct the study, and the paired-samples t-test provided the primary means of analysis for research questions one and two to determine the effect of the i-Ready program on student achievement. The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used as the primary means of analysis for research questions three and four to determine if there were significant differences in growth among students across Performance Levels 1 – 5. The results from the research study showed the i-Ready program had a positive impact on student achievement in reading and math for Grades 4 – 5. No statistically significant differences were found in student growth among the performance level groups indicating all students were impacted by the program. Recommendations for future research include: (a) conducting longitudinal studies to determine long-term effects of participation in the i-Ready program, (b) analyzing methods of implementation by classroom teachers, (c) measuring i-Ready’s predictability of proficiency and growth on state assessments, and (d) conducting studies of other online instructional programs using control groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research study investigates iPad use in one-to-one middle school mathematics classrooms. As school districts across America continue to adopt one-to-one initiatives and curriculums, there is a growing need to examine specific classroom settings to determine how to strategically implement technologies into the classroom. For this particular study, two Grade 7 mathematics classrooms were observed, over a period of five days, to gather data on iPad use. Through teacher interviews, classroom observations, and a student survey, data was gathered to determine the relationships among teacher intentions with technology, teacher implementations of technology, and student experiences with and motivations toward technology. The research made several notable discoveries. First and foremost, when teachers are mindful of how and when they intend to use technology, the implementation of technology typically supports the lesson objectives. Additionally, iPad technology in the mathematics setting can influence student engagement in terms of note-taking and homework submissions. iPad technology can also allow students to feel control over their mathematics learning, and consequently, affect student motivations to learn. The data also shows that iPad technology does not seemingly alter student perceptions of their mathematics abilities upon comparing two different Grade 7 mathematics courses.Since this research was conducted during a transitional period, when students were first beginning to use iPads regularly, considerations must be made to account for the negative observations of technology use recorded. Future research is needed to discover iPad use in specific classrooms settings once it becomes less of a novelty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study documented the effects a 1:1 iPad setting had on a 6th grade math classroom. The documentation is divided into three areas: effects on the teacher, the students' point of view, and math chapter test results. This study is the result of questions asked after being assigned a 1:1 set of Apple's tablet computer, the iPad. A study of literature relating to 1:1 computing, iPads, and educational technology issues with a focus on elementary mathematics was done. The study was conducted in an urban Title I school in Utah. The qualitative aspect of this study focused on a single classroom of twenty-three students and their teacher. The quantitative aspect of this study involved two other 6th grade classrooms within the same school. The study found that there are significant teacher challenges when implementing a 1:1 program. The personal motivations of the students played a major role in academic outcomes. Transference of knowledge from iPad to student was not guaranteed. The teacher needed to play a significant role in the scaffolding of new information acquisition to supplement the software abilities of the iPad. In this classroom, no evidence of improved chapter test results was found as an outcome of 1:1 iPad integration. The author recommends that iPads no longer be purchased for 1:1 technology integration programs."--author's abstract.
