Socioeconomic, Demographic, Attitudinal and Involvement Factors Associated with Math Achievement in Elementary School.

White, Jennifer N. 01 August 2001 (has links) (PDF)
The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which socioeconomic factors, demographic factors, parent and student attitudes, and parent involvement were associated with math achievement. Students in Grade 5 were selected as the population for this study. Random sampling procedures were used to select the sample. Students in the sample completed a modified version of the Fennema-Sherman Mathematics Attitudes Scales. Normal Curve Equivalent Scores (NCEs) from the math scales on the TerraNova Standardized Achievement Test were obtained for all students from the individual school records. Parents of the students also participated by answering questions pertaining to their attitudes toward math, their level of involvement in the classroom, and questions that pertained to socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. The findings from this study suggested that each of the six scales used from the Fennema-Sherman Mathematics Attitudes Scales were all significantly associated with the math, computation, and composite scores of the TerraNova Standardized Achievement Test. Family annual income, parents' educational level, and parent involvement were also significantly associated with math achievement. Four of the six attitudinal scales; the Mathematics as a Male Domain, Confidence in Learning Mathematics, Parent, and Mathematics Anxiety Scales, were significantly related to parents' educational level, family's annual income, and gender. Socioeconomic and attitudinal factors were the most powerful predictors of math achievment, while gender and parent involvement were not strong predictors.

A construção de material didático contextualizado como subsídio para as aulas de Ciências do ensino fundamental (II): uma experiência colaborativa em Cubatão, SP / Contextualized didactic materials as subsidiary elements for Science classes at the elementary level (2nd cycle): a collaborative experience in Cubatão, Sao Paulo State, Brazil

Este trabalho de pesquisa qualitativa aplicada, calcada em uma análise primariamente exploratória e descritiva, relata a trajetória de um grupo de trabalho colaborativo que confeccionou materiais didáticos subsidiários ao livro didático de Ciências no Ensino Fundamental II (6º ao 9º anos). Os docentes que participaram do trabalho colaborativo pertenciam, à época da pesquisa, à rede municipal da prefeitura de Cubatão (SP). A pesquisa, inédita na área de Ciências na referida rede municipal, desenvolveu-se com um grupo inicial de oito docentes, dos quais apenas cinco mantiveram-se até o término do projeto de pesquisa. Levantamentos de cunho bibliográfico e documental foram utilizados para a confecção dos materiais pelo grupo de docentes, ao passo que levantamentos da realidade socioeconômica e ambiental foram realizados em nove unidades municipais de ensino do município. Questionários com perguntas abertas e fechadas e entrevistas semi-estruturadas foram aplicados a docentes e alunos, em momentos diversos da pesquisa. Além disso, todo o processo de trabalho colaborativo foi extensamente documentado e analisado de forma sistemática, durante as reuniões ordinárias com o grupo de professores, de forma individual e coletiva. A pesquisa baseia-se em um tripé norteador, a saber, contexto socioeconômico e ambiental / produção colaborativa / material didático contextualizado. Partimos do princípio de que é possível realizar um trabalho colaborativo de produção de materiais didáticos subsidiários ao livro didático de Ciências, considerando-se a realidade das comunidades de entorno em que as diversas unidades municipais de ensino se inserem, para que haja melhores práticas relacionadas aos temas previamente selecionados, tais como gravidez na adolescência, drogas, higiene, saúde, saneamento básico etc. Desta forma, foi possível acompanhar não somente o processo de confecção colaborativa, como também aplicar alguns dos materiais produzidos em unidades de ensino na forma piloto. Os resultados mostraram que a despeito de inúmeras dificuldades enfrentadas no trabalho colaborativo e na aplicação dos materiais-piloto nas unidades escolares, é viável a mobilização de projetos deste cunho para propor alternativas didáticas que utilizem materiais contextualizados e produzidos pelos próprios docentes. / The current qualitative and applied research study, based upon a primarily descriptive and exploratory analysis, reports the process through which a group of collaborative work produced didactic materials that subsidize the Sciences school textbooks at the second cycle of the Primary School level (6th to 9th grades). Teachers who made part of the collaborative work group belonged to the public teaching board at the Cubatao municipality, Sao Paulo State, Brazil. The research, which is new to the Sciences area in such municipality, started out with a group of eight teachers, but only five remained until the research was over. Not only bibliographical and documental surveys were carried out so that teachers could produce didactic materials, but also surveys on the social, economical and environmental conditions were applied at nine municipal schools. Questionnaires with open and closed questions, and structured interviews were handed out to both teachers and students, throughout various moments of the research program. Moreover, all of the collaborative work was extensively documented and systematically analyzed during ordinary meetings, by considering individuals and the group as a whole. The research work roots itself on a triple pointer, i.e., social, economical and environmental context / collaborative production / contextualized didactic material. We believe that it is possible to develop a collaborative work to produce didactic, subsidiary materials to be used in parallel with the Sciences school textbook, by taking into consideration the reality of the neighboring communities in which schools are located, so that better practices related to the previously chosen themes, such as pregnancy amongst teenager mothers, drugs, hygiene, health etc., could be applied. It was, thus, possible to check not only the collaborative production process itself, but also to apply some of the produced materials on a pilot-basis at municipal schools. Results have shown that, despite several difficulties that occurred during the collaborative work and the application of pilot materials at schools, it is still viable to carry on projects like the present one to propose didactic alternatives, which make use of contextualized materials produced by teachers themselves.
