Atiye Ayyildiz Altinbas; Erhan Ertekin; Süleyman Solak – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
This study was performed to determine preservice elementary mathematics teachers' solution performance of systems of linear equations using geometric representation, algebraic representation and transition from geometric representation to the algebraic representation and the predictive role of preservice elementary mathematics teachers'…

Gershenson, Seth – Thomas B. Fordham Institute, 2020
We know from previous survey research that teachers who hold high expectations for all of their students significantly increase the odds that those young people will go on to complete high school and college. One indicator of teachers' expectations is their approach to grading--specifically, whether they subject students to more or less rigorous…

Safavian, Nayssan; Conley, AnneMarie – AERA Open, 2016
This study used the Eccles et al. expectancy-value (E-V) theory to test the influence of motivation on mathematics achievement and enrollment using data from a cohort of 926 seventh-grade prealgebra students (49% male, 76% Hispanic, 76% low income, and 55% English learner). E-V beliefs were assessed in seventh grade along with achievement, and…

Mattes, Kimberly – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Student Mobility is increasing on Long Island, NY, the site of the present study related to the demographic changes of increasing immigration and poverty. Mobile students often struggle academically, and are at risk for school drop-out or failure. Mobility is sometimes combined with other risk factors such as gender, ethnicity, limited English,…

Tossavainen, Timo; Attorps, Iiris; Väisänen, Pertti – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2012
In this paper, we examine the concept definitions a group of South African upper secondary school mathematics teachers (N = 47) express and how their understanding of the truth value, the role of variable and the syntax of expression appear in the participants' explanations for their assessment of examples and non-examples of equations. We use…

Buckner, Barbara Renee – ProQuest LLC, 2011
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of TI-Nspire graphing calculator use on student achievement and on teacher behavior variables of planning, teaching, and assessing. This study investigated the teaching of functions by teachers using the TI-Nspire graphing calculator versus teachers using a non-graphing scientific calculator. …

Roher, Lee Alan Hanawalt – ProQuest LLC, 2009
This correlation study examines the relationship between participation in online embedded professional development communities and student achievement gains in a College Algebra course taught by high school teachers to high school students for college credit. The participating teachers met weekly through a web-based meeting format using…

Williams, Trish; Haertel, Edward; Kirst, Michael W. – EdSource, 2011
This report is a follow-up to "Gaining Ground in the Middle Grades" (Williams, Kirst, Haertel, et al., 2010). That study specified a comprehensive set of actionable practices that differentiated higher academic achievement among 303 middle grades schools in California. In doing so, the study provided a compelling and coherent account of…

This study contributes to the field by identifying a broad range of traditional and newer middle grade policies and practices, and determining in California which of these differentiate higher- from lower-performing schools serving similar student populations, with performance measured by the state's standards-based tests. Based on a sample of 303…

In the 2008-09 school year researchers from EdSource and Stanford University conducted a large-scale study of 303 middle grades schools in California. The team surveyed 303 principals, 3,752 English Language Arts (ELA) and math teachers in grades 6-8, and 157 superintendents of the districts and charter management organizations that oversee the…
