Book The Impact of Using Calculators as an Accommodation on the Math Achievement of Students with Learning Disabilities

Download or read book The Impact of Using Calculators as an Accommodation on the Math Achievement of Students with Learning Disabilities written by Roxana Cati Russell and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of using the calculator as a standard accommodation during the instruction and assessment of students with learning disabilities has not been sufficiently investigated. The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of the calculator in grades 6, 7 and 8, as a standard accommodation during math instruction and assessment contributed to improved performance for students with learning disabilities. These students struggled with math and received special education services in this academic area before and during the use of the accommodation. The researcher also investigated whether the effect of this accommodation varied with the type of special education program awarded (inclusion, resource, self-contained). The theoretical foundation of the study was cognitive deficit theory that focused on working memory deficits. A quantitative, causal-comparative research design was conducted using archival data from a small school district to compare the performance of the students with learning disabilities on the grade level state standardized assessment before the implementation of the calculator as a standard accommodation and afterwards. The results of paired samples t tests and a two-way mixed ANOVA were statistically significant, showing that students who used the calculator performed at a higher level. The special education program did not influence the effect of using the calculator; all students with learning disabilities benefited from using this accommodation. The implications of these findings suggest that calculators allow students with learning disabilities to learn key concepts by addressing the cognitive deficit challenges of retrieving basic math facts.

Book Helping Children Learn Mathematics

Download or read book Helping Children Learn Mathematics written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-07-31 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results from national and international assessments indicate that school children in the United States are not learning mathematics well enough. Many students cannot correctly apply computational algorithms to solve problems. Their understanding and use of decimals and fractions are especially weak. Indeed, helping all children succeed in mathematics is an imperative national goal. However, for our youth to succeed, we need to change how we're teaching this discipline. Helping Children Learn Mathematics provides comprehensive and reliable information that will guide efforts to improve school mathematics from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. The authors explain the five strands of mathematical proficiency and discuss the major changes that need to be made in mathematics instruction, instructional materials, assessments, teacher education, and the broader educational system and answers some of the frequently asked questions when it comes to mathematics instruction. The book concludes by providing recommended actions for parents and caregivers, teachers, administrators, and policy makers, stressing the importance that everyone work together to ensure a mathematically literate society.

Book The Effect of Using Calculators on Students Construction of Mathematical Knowledge

Download or read book The Effect of Using Calculators on Students Construction of Mathematical Knowledge written by Betsy Holley DuBose and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine what impact the use of calculators has on children's construction of mathematical knowledge in the researcher's second grade classroom. Calculators were purchased in volume by this school system. Most teachers have not been trained to use the calculators in their classrooms. Therefore, students were only allowed to use them in checking computation. Some teachers did not allow their students to use them at all. With so much controversial information about using calculators with young children, this study was created to determine if the calculator was a learning tool or a handicap that hindered the acquisition of mathematical knowledge. The specific question guiding this research was "What impact did using calculators have on students' problem solving?".
