Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algebra I proficiency is an important aspect of a solid foundation in mathematics. Teachers play a critical role in the failure or success of students. Different teacher characteristics are thought to have a significant impact on the potential for student success. This non-experimental correlational research study seeks to examine the potential relationships between specific teacher characteristics and student success in Algebra I as measured by the Algebra I End of Course Exam scores. This study uses ordinary least squares regression analysis to examine the effects of independent variables on successful Algebra I scores. The independent variables in this study include teacher self-efficacy rating, certification type, years of experience teaching in total and teaching Algebra I specifically, and college degree earned. This study seeks to contribute to the body of knowledge by establishing a relationship, or lack thereof, between independent variables and student success in Algebra I. By establishing the presence or absence of a correlation between these variables, school leaders will have more research-based information to affect hiring decisions and teacher placement within Algebra I content areas. Results showed that years of experience teaching Algebra I was a significant predictor for student success in Algebra I. The other variables were not found to be significant predictors. Suggestions for future research are also included.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algebra has been considered a gateway course for college preparation, with students who take algebra in eighth grade considered likely to succeed in high school and go to college. However, among the 50% of California eighth-grade students who took algebra in 2007, only 38% scored proficient or above on the California Standards Test (CST). This study investigates the link between students' prior knowledge and eighth- and ninth-grade algebra success. The data were over 600,000 seventh-, eighth-, and ninth-grade students' test results on the CSTs administered in 2006 and 2007. Two cohorts were investigated: cohort 1 (grades 8-9) and cohort 2 (grades 7-8). If learning success is defined by scoring proficient or above on CSTs, test results from cohort 1 reveal that ninth-grade students have 22% more chance of succeeding in algebra if they passed the CST for General Mathematics in eighth grade compared to those who failed the CST for Algebra I. Further, to predict eighth-grade CST for Algebra I scores, three regression models were studied for cohort 2. Model 1 specifies a predictor variable of the CST for Grade Seven Mathematics score; model 2 specifies predictor variables of the CST for Grade Seven Mathematics' reporting cluster sub-scores; and model 3 specifies predictor variables of the CST for Grade Seven English-Language Arts score, the CST for Grade Seven Mathematics' reporting cluster sub-scores, and student demography. For the three models, these predictor variables contributed respectively 61%, 62%, and 64% of the variance of the CST for Algebra I scores. Also, the model 2 multiple regression analysis indicates that among the six reporting clusters of content knowledge and skills, rational numbers is a strong predictor, contributing 48% of the variance to the CST for Algebra I scores. A validation on model 3 shows 96% of the prediction at the same or within one performance level difference (+/- ) compared to the observed performance levels. A principal factor analysis (PFA) indicates that one factor underlies the six reporting clusters of the CST for Grade Seven Mathematics, suggesting that there is not enough empirical evidence to identify specific subsets of knowledge and skills as algebra readiness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People providing services to schools, teachers, and students want to know whether these services are effective. With that knowledge, a project director can expand services that work well and adjust implementation of activities that are not working as expected. When finding that an innovative strategy benefits students, a project director might want to share that information with other service providers who could build upon that strategy. Some organizations that fund programs for students will want a report demonstrating the program’s success. Determining whether a program is effective requires expertise in data collection, study design, and analysis. Not all project directors have this expertise—they tend to be primarily focused on working with schools, teachers, and students to undertake program activities. Collecting and obtaining student-level data may not be a routine part of the program. This book provides an overview of the process for evaluating a program. It is not a detailed methodological text but focuses on awareness of the process. What do program directors need to know about data and data analysis to plan an evaluation or to communicate with an evaluator? Examples focus on supporting college and career readiness programs. Readers can apply these processes to other studies that include a data collection component.
