This book was released on 2012 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this investigation the students in fifth through eighth grades were placed in math classes based on their ability (homogenous grouping). MAP math test scores and teacher input were used to group the students by their ability. This treatment was implemented to see if there was a change in student achievement and to see if there were any student attitude changes about math. The post-treatment results indicated that students MAP test scores varied greatly for each individual but 82% of students increased their scores from the pre to post-treatment. The results indicated that the percent increase in MAP test scores were the highest during the pretreatment. The above grade level students had a 6.5% increase, at grade level had a 5.5% increase, and the below grade level had a 6.8% increase in their MAP test scores. During the post-treatment the group of students that were most affected by the ability grouping were the above grade level students. They had a 4.2% increase in their MAP test scores during the treatment year. The students that were at grade level had a 2.3% increase in their MAP test scores. The students that were negatively affected by the ability grouping were the below grade level students. They increased their scores by .3% in the treatment year. AIMSweb Concepts and Applications increased following the treatment from 8.1% to a 16% increase in the test scores. AIMSweb Computation scores decreased in overall percent gains from a 17.7% to an 11.1% following the treatment. Students' attitudes about math were more positive after the treatment but the students said that there was little benefit to their science class when they were in ability groped math class.

Looney and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the effects of homogeneous and heterogeneous groupings in middle school mathematics on achievement. 6th and 7th grade students' mathematics scores on a standardized test over a three month period were compared to determine the effect, in any, on their academic progress. The data showed that although homogeneously grouped students' showed some modest academic gain among the higher ability students, lower ability students in a homogeneous group did not show any improvement in their score, and in some cases, to the contrary, their scores were lower.

Download or read book The Impact of Math Ability Grouping on Second Grade Student Growth written by Cristil Rogers and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many research studies that support ability grouping, oppose ability grouping, and several that are neither for nor against this strategy. Therefore the basis for my research stems from the essential question, does ability grouping improve the assessment scores of students? For this study the second grade math assessment scores of two classrooms were analyzed. One study group was exposed to between-class ability grouping while the other group was exposed to within-class ability grouping. These two strategies were the primary grouping method for math instruction in these two separate environments. The pre- and post-test assessment scores of the Place Value District Common Assessment were used as the measurement tool to compare the results for each group. Through this action research one can conclude that the effects of grouping students by ability level in both with-in class and between-class groups lends to similar results. There is no evidence from this study that suggest using any type of ability grouping has a negative effect on academic growth.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of ability grouping vs. mixed ability grouping on the mathematics achievement of high, medium, and low ability fourth grade students. Achievement was measured by mean growth on California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) California Standards Tests (eSTs). The sample was composed of 704 fourth grade students from two elementary schools in the same Southern California school district. The research method chosen was a non-experimental quantitative retrospective study. Statistical analysis using a two-way ANOV A and t-tests was performed on three consecutive years oftest scores. Results showed that students of all ability levels experienced significantly higher achievement in homogeneously grouped classes. High ability students in heterogeneously grouped classes showed negative mean growth all three years of the study and medium ability students showed negative mean growth two of three years. Pacing, level of differentiation, and affect may play an important part in the effects of instructional grouping observed in the study. Keywords: ability grouping, homogeneous, heterogeneous, differentiation, pacing, affect, mathematics performance
