The Effect of Professional Development in Performance Assessment on Mathematics Achievement and AttitudeMcAdoo, Penny Coyne 05 1900 (has links)
The problem of this study was to determine the effect of professional development in the use of performance assessment in fourth grade mathematics on student achievement and attitude toward mathematics. Achievement was measured by subtest and total mathematics scores on norm-referenced and criterion-referenced tests. Attitude was measured by a survey of student attitudes.

Writing Creatively in First GradeRaye, Susan Grant 01 January 1984 (has links)
Learning to write their own words increases students' success in learning to read, provides practice in thinking skills, increases their self-concept and provides early positive attitudes about writing.
However, most writing done in first grade classrooms today consists mainly of copying from the blackboard. This is a tedious and boring task for first graders, and gives them bad attitudes about writing as they begin their school careers. Many teachers don't require young students to write their own words because of the students' inability to spell words and form grammatically correct sentences. However, if a teacher is accepting of the students' imperfect spelling and grammar, the students will feel free to express their thoughts on paper.
This project provides a year long curriculum design along with the activities necessary to teach first grade students to write creatively.

An Investigation In Journal Writing And Cooperative Learning With 8th Grade Geometry Students In The Construction Of ProofWojcik, Paul 01 January 2011 (has links)
This action research study summarizes the investigation of journal writing and cooperative grouping with 8th grade geometry students in the construction of proof. Students written responses to prompts in journals were analyzed over the course of twelve weeks. Case studies of four students were developed from the researchers’ three geometry classes. All four students in the study participated in an academic program called Pre International Baccalaureate Preparation. Standardized test scores and an attitude scale categorized the four students. The ATMAT survey (Appendix A) measured each student’s attitude toward mathematics. Writing prompts focused on the students’ perceptions of the group process in constructing proofs and the development of geometric proof. The results suggested the students were engaged in learning within their cooperative groups but they also desired individual time before coming to a group setting. In addition, students’ written responses to journal prompts may provide an informal assessment and help students convey their own understanding of proof before any formal assessments.

Teaching vocabulary through integrated curriculum improves reading comprehensionCox, Linda Carol 01 January 2005 (has links)
This investigation was designed to determine if teaching vocabulary through integrating English and Social Studies curricula would provide tenth grade students who are poor readers with strategies to improve their reading comprehension. The strategies used were designed to support struggling readers and English language development students to connect denotative and connotative meanings of words found in the novel Animal Farm to their social studies class' content.

Tell me a story about feathers: Teaching discipline through literatureRondeau, Carol Tripoli 01 January 2005 (has links)
This project contends that the instructional time given to language arts is the appropriate time to teach discipline.
