This is a report on research conducted in Lebowa (Northern Province) Primary Mathematics Project schools. In view of the high failure rate of matric students, the researcher believes that it is necessary that ways should be devised to improve mathematics understanding from the first level of schooling. A research study was made of constructivist and investigative teaching and learning methods as employed by teachers in a number of primary schools in the area. The researcher believes that investigative and constructivist teaching approaches produce better results than the traditional approach. He further believes that children learn better in a co-operative non-threatening classroom environment. A pilot study was made with two experimental schools and two control schools. The schools were selected from both urban and rural areas. The experimental schools are operating under the PMP and the control schools are not. The experimental schools are also supported by expert teachers called key teachers. Many of these key teachers have attended courses at Leeds University, while others have been trained locally in the theory and practice of constructivist and investigative teaching and learning. Chapter 3 illustrates clearly what is done in the Project schools. The methodology employed in the research included qUestionnaire responses from 174 teachers. Written tests by four schools (350 pupils), and interviews with 55 people, including directors of education, inspectors, principals, teachers and parents. Observations in classes were also done. Another questionnaire was given to 484 pupils. The tests were mitten on two occasions: an initial test was written during November 1993, the second year of the PMP project, while a second test was written the following year. Data collected was analysed and positive results obtained. The results from the tests indicated that pupils in experimental schools where constructivist and investigative approaches are used, perform better than those from schools where the traditional approach is still used. They indicated that children in PMP schools develop a better understanding of mathematics. This would seem to indicate that the constructivist and investigative approach to teaching produces better results than the traditional approaches. The reader will find graphs indicating the results and their analysis in Chapters 4 and 5. It is recommended by the researcher that: - Constructivist and investigative teaching and learning methods be introduced to all schools. - The services of key teachers be supported by the Department - The Department should equip all schools with the necessary materials for proper teaching and learning, or provide materials for schools to make their own teaching aids. - Teachers be involved with materials production where they are given guidance on how teaching aids can be made. - The curriculum for primary school mathematics be revised and changed, especially in view of the fact that at present it does not cater for local needs. It was planned by whites and it caters mainly for those with an European cultural background.

This research investigates the development of writing in children who are learning English as a second language (ESL). Its underlying hypotheses are that: 1) ESL children will learn to write independently when placed in a social and psychological setting that facilitates language learning; and 2) they will use the same strategies and follow the same general patterns of development as those reported for English-speaking children. Current research on emergent literacy provided the theoretical framework for this study. This investigation followed eleven ESL children from the beginning of Kindergarten to the end of Grade One. The children's writing samples were collected daily and were analyzed and classified within Gentry's (1982) stages of writing development. The data were examined for implied strategies, knowledge and understandings. Observational notes on the children when writing revealed characteristics and behaviours found at each level of writing development. The results point to the similarities between how ESL children and English-speaking children learn to write when challenged to discover the English writing system for themselves. The theoretical perspective of writing as a developmental process was evident throughout the study. Additional findings highlighted the significant role of literature in ESL learning and the importance of a learner-centred approach to literacy instruction. The implications of the research findings for ESL methodology is discussed together with an account of the children's development in writing. / Education, Faculty of / Graduate

Creative dynamics and literature.

Literature and cooperative learning -- Prosocial behavior -- Three works by Leo Lionni.

The purpose of this project will be to supply teachers, specifically those of second grade students, with a variety of activities that match to appropriate comprehension strategies using California Young Reader Medal nominated books for the year 2000 at the primary level as read-alouds.

The purpose of this project was to address the need for making the subject matter of life science accessible to all kindergarten and first grade students.

快速構形學習（fast orthographic learning）是指在閱讀中遇到一個生字或生詞少數幾次後，這個字或詞的構形表征就能初步形成。目前，尚無研究試圖檢測中文構形學習，更無研究通過實驗操作的方式檢查語音重編碼（這一對英文構形學習最為重要的因素）對中文構形學習的影響。本研究以快速構形學習為切入點進行了三項研究。研究一（預實驗和實驗一）根據Share （1999）的範式編制了中文快速構形學習測驗，並使用這一測驗證實了二/三年級的兒童已具有快速構形學習的能力；研究二則通過實驗操作考察語音重編碼是否影響快速構形學習的成績。閱讀能力匹配的兒童被置於不同的學習情境下。某些學習情境下語音重編碼的傾向通過實驗操作被抑制，另一些學習情境下則可以正常進行語音重編碼。對比不同情境下的構形學習成績就可以證明語音重編碼對構形學習的影響。依照這一邏輯，實驗二和實驗三發現形聲字的構形學習受到語音重編碼的正面影響，而實驗四和實驗五則發現非形聲字的構形學習不受語音重編碼的正面影響；實驗六將形聲字和非形聲字放在同一實驗中考察，重複了實驗二至五的結果。研究三則採用培訓實驗進一步重複或檢驗第二部分的結果。在實驗七至十中，兒童或者學習目標假聲旁的語音（與目標形聲字一致的語音或者與目標形聲字不一致的語音），或者學習目標假聲旁的語義，或者抄寫目標假聲旁，或者僅觀察目標假聲旁（控制方案）。然後他們在相同的情境下學習含有目標假聲旁的形聲字。通過對比不同組別的快速構形學習成績，結果發現，除抄寫外，語音重編碼和部件的語義信息對構形學習沒有影響。根據三個研究最終得出以下結論：二三年級的學生已經具備快速構形學習能力；語音重編碼對形聲字的構形學習有一定影響，但影響不大，且只發生在目標形聲字含有熟悉的聲旁時；語音重編碼對半規則形聲字和非形聲字的構形學習沒有影響；抄寫對構形學習有明顯的促進作用。根據三個研究最終得出以下結論：二三年級的學生已經具備快速構形學習能力；語音重編碼並非影響構形學習的核心因素，只對含有熟悉聲旁的形聲字的構形學習有影響，對半規則形聲字和非形聲字的構形學習沒有影響；語義信息對構形學習沒有影響，抄寫對構形學習有明顯的促進作用。我們提出“構形學習自足假說，建議研究者重點研究正字法意識對構形學習的影響。 / Fast orthographic learning (FOL) means that an orthographic representation of a word can be learned incidentally after minimal exposure. Up to now, no research has explored the existence of FOL in Chinese. One reason is that it is difficult to create a test of orthographic learning ability. The present research, which includes three studies, was an attempt to investigate FOL in Chinese and the contributing factors of FOL. Study 1 adopted the experimental paradigm of Share (1999) and developed a new FOL test to obtain evidence of FOL among Chinese Grade 2 and 3 students. Study 2 explored whether or not phonological recoding can impact on FOL of both phonetic and non-phonetic compound characters with manipulations that minimized phonological recoding. The experimental and the control groups were exposed to some target pseudo-characters with and without concurrent articulation, respectively. Comparison of FOL obtained by different groups indicated that phonological recoding affected FOL of regular phonetic compound characters, but the effect was small; phonological recoding did not affect FOL of non-phonetic compound characters. Study 3 re-examined the results of Study 2 and explored the effect of semantic information and handwriting on FOL. In different training programs, students learned the pronunciation or the meaning of target pseudo-radicals, or write or look at them a number of times. Then students learned target pseudo-characters containing the target pseudo-radicals in the same condition. The effects of phonological recoding, semantic information and handwriting were evaluated by comparing FOL of the target pseudo-characters. The results indicated that phonological recoding affected FOL of neither regular phonetic compound characters containing unfamiliar phonetics nor semi-regular phonetic compound characters. Besides, handwriting had a significant positive effect on FOL. These results indicated that phonological recoding is not a substantial contributing factor of FOL. Other contributing factors, such as handwriting and semantic information, need further investigation. We proposed the "orthographic learning self- sufficient hypothesis", which suggests that the core contributing factor of FOL is orthographic awareness. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 劉永廣. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 111-116) / Abstracts in Chinese and English. / Liu Yongguang. / Chapter 第一章 --- 研究背景 --- p.12 / Chapter 1 --- 構形表征與構形學習 --- p.12 / Chapter 1.1 --- 構形表征的存在 --- p.12 / Chapter 1.2 --- 構形學習：一個漸進的過程 --- p.15 / Chapter 2 --- 快速構形學習 --- p.16 / Chapter 2.1 --- 快速構形學習的操作性定義 --- p.16 / Chapter 2.1.1 --- 快速構形學習測驗 --- p.16 / Chapter 2.1.2 --- 快速構形學習測驗的重要性 --- p.19 / Chapter 3 --- 語音重編碼對構形學習的影響 --- p.20 / Chapter 3.1 --- 這一問題的理論化--“自我教學假設 --- p.20 / Chapter 3.2 --- 理論爭議：基於項目還是基於發展階段？ --- p.21 / Chapter 3.3 --- 相關實驗證據 --- p.23 / Chapter 3.4 --- 語音重編碼之外：詞彙知識，正字法意識，語義以及書寫 --- p.26 / Chapter 4 --- 構形表征和構形學習的提出對閱讀習得研究的貢獻 --- p.28 / Chapter 5 --- 中文相關研究現狀 --- p.29 / Chapter 5.1 --- 中文正字法系統概況 --- p.29 / Chapter 5.2 --- 中文形音對應規則：規則性效應和一致性效應 --- p.30 / Chapter 5.2.1 --- 形聲字的規則性和一致性 --- p.30 / Chapter 5.2.2 --- 兒童對形音對應規則的掌握和使用 --- p.32 / Chapter 6 --- 本研究的問題提出和研究邏輯 --- p.35 / Chapter 6.1 --- 本研究的問題提出 --- p.35 / Chapter 6.1.1 --- 中文快速構形學習測驗的編制 --- p.35 / Chapter 6.1.2 --- 為何以語音重編碼為研究重點 --- p.37 / Chapter 6.1.3 --- 非形聲字的構形學習 --- p.39 / Chapter 6.1.4 --- 漢字的語音重編碼 --- p.40 / Chapter 6.1.5 --- 為何以二、三年級學生為研究對象 --- p.40 / Chapter 6.1.6 --- 附帶考察的兩個研究問題 --- p.41 / Chapter 6.2 --- 本研究的邏輯 --- p.41 / Chapter 第二章 --- 研究一 中文構形學習測驗的編制及對快速構形學習現象的檢驗 --- p.43 / 預實驗 --- p.43 / 實驗一 --- p.45 / Chapter 第三章 --- 研究二 語音重編碼對快速構形學習的影響（1） --- p.56 / 實驗二 --- p.56 / 實驗三 --- p.62 / 實驗四 --- p.66 / 實驗五 --- p.69 / 實驗六 --- p.72 / Chapter 第四章 --- 研究三 語音重編碼對快速構形學習的影響（2） --- p.77 / 實驗七 --- p.78 / 實驗八 --- p.84 / 實驗九 --- p.86 / 實驗十 --- p.90 / Chapter 第五章 --- 總體討論 --- p.94 / 問題一：快速構形學習是否存在？ --- p.94 / 快速構形學習測驗的編制 --- p.94 / 問題二：語音重編碼是否中文快速構形學習的關鍵影響因素？ --- p.96 / 問題三：快速構形學習能力與其他背景變量是否有關係？ --- p.98 / 問題四：語義信息和抄寫是否對構形學習有影響？ --- p.100 / 構形學習自足假說 --- p.101 / 視覺詞彙學習：形音義三要素的互動 --- p.103 / 中文閱讀習得能力的發展 --- p.104 / 本研究的貢獻 --- p.105 / 不足以及研究展望 --- p.105 / Chapter 附錄一 --- 形音匹配遊戲A --- p.107 / Chapter 附錄二 --- 實驗一中作為閱讀材料的短文例子 --- p.108 / Chapter 附錄三 --- 語義培訓方案的電腦呈現方式 --- p.109 / Chapter 附錄四 --- 主要術語中英文對照表 --- p.110 / 參考文獻 --- p.111

Bibliography: leaves 211-227. This thesis addresses the implications of language policy for foreign language teaching practice. It specifically looks at the implementation of language policy on the practice of teaching English in Indonesian and Thai primary schools as well as on the practice of teaching Indonesian in Australian primary schools.

There are numerous methods teachers use to teach the alphabet to children. This thesis is a curriculum on how to teach the alphabet to English learners and English speakers. The author teaches kindergarten to students who are English speakers and to students who are Spanish speakers learning English as a second language. The school's instructional Reading Based Program (the Houghton Mifflin Lectura of California) offers many ideas and strategies but is missing some components necessary to meet distinct standards for kindergarten. The author developed this curriculum to meet the standards of teaching English speakers and English learners the alphabet to meet district standards.
