This book was released on 2006 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of journal writing on achievement and attitudes of fourth graders in the social studies classroom. A pretest and posttest were administered to measure social studies achievement. The researcher used a one-tailed, two-sample t test to determine statistical significance in achievement. There was no significant increase in social studies achievement found; therefore, the researcher failed to reject the null hypothesis. An attitude survey was administered prior to and following the treatment. A one-tailed, one-sample t test was used to determine significance in the effects of the treatment on students’ attitudes. There was no significant change in attitudes; therefore, the researcher failed to reject the null hypothesis. While a positive trend in attitude was noted when implementing the use of journal writing in this study, the researcher concluded that there was not a significant effect on achievement and students’ attitudes in the social studies classroom.

This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph analyses and describes successful educational actions with a specific focus on vulnerable groups (i.e. youth, migrants, cultural groups e.g. Roma, women, and people with disabilities). Concrete data that shows success in school performance in subject matters such as math or language will be provided, as well as children, teachers and families accounts of the impact of this success. Alongside, there is an analysis of the relationship between these children’s educational performance with their inclusion or exclusion from different areas of society (i.e. housing, health, employment, and social and political participation). Many studies have already diagnosed and described the causes of educational and social exclusion of these vulnerable groups. This monograph, however, provides solutions, that is, actions for success identified through the INCLUD-ED project, thus providing both, contrasted data and solid theoretical background and development. Some examples of these actions are interactive groups (or heterogeneous grouping in the classroom with reorganisation of human resources), extension of the learning time, homework clubs, tutored libraries, family and community educative participation, family education, or dialogic literary gatherings. All these actions have been defined as successful educational actions, which mean that they lead to both efficiency and equity. Finally, recommendations for policy and practice are included and discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if journal writing would affect student writing achievement and attitudes. This study was conducted at the start of the 2007-2008 school year at Excelsior Middle School, part of the Linn-Mar Community School District. Twenty-one eighth grade language arts students participated in this study. Data were collected from pre and post writing assessments, pre and post student surveys, and various writing assignments throughout the first ten weeks of the school year. Results of this study suggest overall improvement in writing fluency, accuracy, and student attitudes. These results are possibly due to journal writing practice.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study summarizes research conducted in a second grade classroom at a rural elementary school in the fall of 2004. This study investigated the practice of using writing activities in mathematics to improve student attitudes and performance in problem solving. The classroom teacher supplemented traditional mathematics instruction with daily problem solving activities and affective journal writing. Students were asked to complete daily problem solving prompts and write about their problem-solving solutions. Attitude data was collected using a pre and post attitude survey as well as affective journal writing assignments. Performance data was collected using a performance based problem-solving rubric. Results of this study showed change in students’ attitudes towards problem solving in the areas of willingness to participate and perseverance in completing problem solving tasks. Student performance gains were recorded and analyzed throughout the six-week study period. Thirteen out of the 17 students who participated in this study showed performance growth in problem solving.

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.
