Download or read book Generating Social Stratification written by Alan C Kerckhoff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book some of the leading stratification scholars in the U.S. present empirical and theoretical essays about the institutional contexts that shape careers. Building on recent advances in theory, data, and analytic technique, the essays in this volume work toward the goal of identifying and assessing the processes by which a birth cohort is distributed in the stratification system, given their positions of origin in that system. Alan Kerckhoff's introduction situates the studies in this volume within the context of previous stratification research over several generations, making the book an invaluable resource for scholars and graduate students.

Download or read book Impact of Integrated Science and Mathematics Instruction on Middle School Science and Mathematics Achievement written by Zenaida Aguirre-Munoz and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the impetus from professional organizations for science and math integration, evidence in support of such efforts in raising both science and mathematics achievement is scarce, particularly for underrepresented students. The available literature is mixed especially regarding impact on mathematics outcomes. This exploratory study documents the impact of the Middle School Math and Science (MS)2 Integration project based on the results of the internal evaluation of an intensive teacher training model for integrated science and mathematics in middle school. Multivariate analysis of variance shows (MS)2 positively impacted middle school students,Äô science and mathematics knowledge in this sample of diverse students. Overall, the (MS)2 group outperformed the comparison group. There was also evidence that students who received (MS)2 integrated instruction in science classrooms slightly outperformed those who received (MS)2 integrated instruction in math classrooms. Multiple regression results indicated that (MS)2 group membership and opportunity to learn through integrated instruction were significant predictors of students,Äô science and mathematics scores. Although students in (MS)2 classrooms were more likely to have higher achievement scores, the frequency of integrated instruction opportunities also significantly predicted student achievement, particularly in mathematics classrooms. Ethnicity and gender were not significant predictors of student scores. Implications are discussed.

Download or read book Research on Schools Neighborhoods and Communities written by William F. Tate and published by American Educational Research Association. This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on Schools, Neighborhoods, and Communities: Toward Civic Responsibility focuses on research and theoretical developments related to the role of geography in education, human development, and health. William F. Tate IV, the Edward Mallinckrodt Distinguished University Professor in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis and former President of the American Educational Research Association, presents a collection of chapters from across disciplines to further understand the strengths of and problems in our communities. Today, many research literatures—e.g., health, housing, transportation, and education—focus on civic progress, yet rarely are there efforts to interrelate these literatures to better understand urgent problems and promising possibilities in education, wherein social context is central. In this volume, social context—in particular, the unequal opportunities that result from geography—is integral to the arguments, analyses, and case studies presented. Written by more than 40 educational scholars from top universities across the nation, the research presented in this volume provides historical, moral, and scientifically based arguments with the potential to inform understandings of civic problems associated with education, youth, and families, and to guide the actions of responsible citizens and institutions dedicated to advancing the public good.
Download or read book The Effects of Differentiating Instruction in a Mixed ability Middle School Science Class written by Batya Rena Kinsberg and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effects of differentiating instruction in a sixth grade earth science classroom. During three lessons within one unit of study, tiered instructional materials were utilized and students were assigned to tiered learning groups. Likert-style surveys, student interviews, teacher observations, open-ended survey questions and unit test scores were used to collect data about the impact on student achievement, engagement and attitudes. Journal entries and teacher observations were used to determine how differentiating instruction impacted the teacher. Differentiating instruction improved the achievement of previously low-achieving students, but had mixed results for other students. Student attitudes were more negative following differentiated instruction. This treatment has mixed effects on student engagement and on the teacher.
