This book was released on 2010 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study whose purpose was to determine if the practice of classroom looping (where a teacher moves with a class from one grade to the next, while the teacher previously teaching the higher class cycles to pick up a new class) affected the academic achievement scores at a Minnesota inner-city elementary school. Reading and math academic achievement score comparisons were used, based on the Stanford Achievement Test Series 10 (SAT10). The target population consisted of 38 students from looping classrooms at School A,and 33 students from non-looping classrooms at School B. Looping students had been with the same teacher for two consecutive years. Non-looping students, in traditional one-year classrooms, had attended School B for two years. Fifth-grade examination scores from the spring of 2005 were compared with gains made on the sixth-grade examination scores from the spring of 2006. Academic progress in reading and math was measured for these students through causal-comparative regression analysis. The results of this study indicated no statistically significant academic difference in reading levels between looping and non-looping students. Because of the small sample size, a Type II error may be a possibility; a longer and larger study would need to determine the accuracy of these results. The study's results did, however, indicate a statistically significant academic difference in math gain scores between looping and non-looping students.

This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare the academic achievement of students in looping programs from school systems in East Tennessee to their peers in traditional one-year instructional programs. Looping is defined as any program design that perpetuates a cohesive student group with the same teacher for more than one year. The study included all students who had completed fourth grade in 2001 at every school in East Tennessee that implemented a third/fourth grade looping design. Student scores reported for 1999, 2000, and 2001 on the TerraNova Standardized Achievement Test were obtained from individual student records. Comparisons were made on the Total Reading, Total Language, Total Math, and Total Battery scores. Differences between program design groups (looping and traditional) on "pre-looping" second grade (1999) scores were assessed using t-tests for two independent groups. Two-way Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), was used to examine the main effects of program design and student gender on 2000 and 2001 test scores, along with program design x gender interactions, while controlling for prior test score differences. The findings suggested that students in looping classrooms benefited academically by remaining with the same teacher and classmates for two successive years. Significant main effects were detected for program design in first year comparisons, as indicated by significantly higher scores on all four subtests. Scores for those in the looping classrooms remained significantly higher in second year comparisons on each subtest, except Total Language, even after controlling for third grade (2000) test scores. Significant main effects for gender were detected after the first year of participation in each design. This included significantly higher Total Language and Total Battery scores for female participants. No significant differences by gender were detected when scores were compared on the four subtests at the end of the two-year cycle. A program design x gender interaction was detected at the end of the first year. This interaction showed that female participants in looping classrooms showed higher Total Math achievement. A program design x gender interaction also occurred after the second year where male participants in the looping classrooms obtained higher Total Language scores.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This phenomenological study highlighted the perceptions of teachers and parents toward the academic and social effects of looping in elementary schools. The purpose of this study was to determine if teachers and parents feel that looping in elementary schoolbetter supports student relationships, growth, and academic achievement. The sample for this study included elementary school teachers and parents in a large school district in South East USA., who have participated in one or more years of looping with a coed group or a single-gender group of students. Findings showed that parent-teacher relationships improved, students showed a greater level of comfortability with school, teachers were able to use student data to guide instruction while looping, and teacher classroom management improved. Key findings from this study gave insights intolooping so that teachers, parents, and administrators can make informed decisions regarding the delivery of instruction for students in the elementary school setting.

Download or read book The Science of Learning and Development written by Pamela Cantor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-21 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential text unpacks major transformations in the study of learning and human development and provides evidence for how science can inform innovation in the design of settings, policies, practice, and research to enhance the life path, opportunity and prosperity of every child. The ideas presented provide researchers and educators with a rationale for focusing on the specific pathways and developmental patterns that may lead a specific child, with a specific family, school, and community, to prosper in school and in life. Expanding key published articles and expert commentary, the book explores a profound evolution in thinking that integrates findings from psychology with biology through sociology, education, law, and history with an emphasis on institutionalized inequities and disparate outcomes and how to address them. It points toward possible solutions through an understanding of and addressing the dynamic relations between a child and the contexts within which he or she lives, offering all researchers of human development and education a new way to understand and promote healthy development and learning for diverse, specific youth regardless of race, socioeconomic status, or history of adversity, challenge, or trauma. The book brings together scholars and practitioners from the biological/medical sciences, the social and behavioral sciences, educational science, and fields of law and social and educational policy. It provides an invaluable and unique resource for understanding the bases and status of the new science, and presents a roadmap for progress that will frame progress for at least the next decade and perhaps beyond.
Download or read book Using Technology with Classroom Instruction That Works written by Howard Pitler and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2012-08-02 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology is ubiquitous, and its potential to transform learning is immense. The first edition of Using Technology with Classroom Instruction That Works answered some vital questions about 21st century teaching and learning: What are the best ways to incorporate technology into the curriculum? What kinds of technology will best support particular learning tasks and objectives? How does a teacher ensure that technology use will enhance instruction rather than distract from it? This revised and updated second edition of that best-selling book provides fresh answers to these critical questions, taking into account the enormous technological advances that have occurred since the first edition was published, including the proliferation of social networks, mobile devices, and web-based multimedia tools. It also builds on the up-to-date research and instructional planning framework featured in the new edition of Classroom Instruction That Works, outlining the most appropriate technology applications and resources for all nine categories of effective instructional strategies: * Setting objectives and providing feedback * Reinforcing effort and providing recognition * Cooperative learning * Cues, questions, and advance organizers * Nonlinguistic representations * Summarizing and note taking * Assigning homework and providing practice * Identifying similarities and differences * Generating and testing hypotheses Each strategy-focused chapter features examples—across grade levels and subject areas, and drawn from real-life lesson plans and projects—of teachers integrating relevant technology in the classroom in ways that are engaging and inspiring to students. The authors also recommend dozens of word processing applications, spreadsheet generators, educational games, data collection tools, and online resources that can help make lessons more fun, more challenging, and—most of all—more effective.

Download or read book Visible Learning written by John Hattie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-11-19 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique and ground-breaking book is the result of 15 years research and synthesises over 800 meta-analyses on the influences on achievement in school-aged students. It builds a story about the power of teachers, feedback, and a model of learning and understanding. The research involves many millions of students and represents the largest ever evidence based research into what actually works in schools to improve learning. Areas covered include the influence of the student, home, school, curricula, teacher, and teaching strategies. A model of teaching and learning is developed based on the notion of visible teaching and visible learning. A major message is that what works best for students is similar to what works best for teachers – an attention to setting challenging learning intentions, being clear about what success means, and an attention to learning strategies for developing conceptual understanding about what teachers and students know and understand. Although the current evidence based fad has turned into a debate about test scores, this book is about using evidence to build and defend a model of teaching and learning. A major contribution is a fascinating benchmark/dashboard for comparing many innovations in teaching and schools.

Download or read book The Effects of Looping on High School Mathematic Achievement written by Deanna Marie De Voss and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the idea of looping in high school math classes as a means to improve the students' passing rates. This study attempts to answer the following questions: Will students who loop with their math teacher for Algebra I and Geometry have more success than students who have different teachers for these courses? How do students feel about looping, and what do they see as the positive and negative aspects of looping? This study had a mixed-method research design. The quantitative portion of the study compared the percentages of looping and nonlooping students who passed the first semester of Geometry. The results showed that overall 80% of the looping students earned a passing grade of "C" or better, compared with only 25% of the non-looping students. The difference between the percentages of looping and non-looping students who passed was even greater for females and Latino students. The qualitative portion of the study was based on 13 student interviews. All students were in favor of looping with their math teacher. The students identified familiarity, feeling comfortable, and stronger relationships as the main benefits of looping. The possibility of a mismatch was the only negative aspect of looping mentioned. This study has shown that looping is in fact a way to increase high school students' success in mathematics. KEYWORDS: looping, high school, mathematics
