Abstract:
Prior research has suggested a strong link between student-level psychological constructs such as self-efficacy and achievement in academics. In this study, we looked at the relationship between math self-efficacy and mathematics literacy using a large-scale survey from Greece. Our analytical results show that there is a strong association between math self-efficacy and math literacy among Greek high school students, and that this association persists even after controlling for student-level differences such as age, grade, gender, parental education, parental occupation, family wealth, cultural possessions, and availability of educational resources at home, and school-level differences such as school type, school size, student–teacher ratio, and school-level socioeconomic status.

Abstract:
This retrospective study examined the impact of prior mathematics achievement on the relationship between high school mathematics curricula and student postsecondary mathematics performance. The sample (N = 4,144 from 266 high schools) was partitioned into 3 strata by ACT mathematics scores. Students completing 3 or more years of a commercially developed curriculum, the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project curriculum, or National Science Foundation-funded curriculum comprised the sample. Of interest were comparisons of the difficulty level and grade in their initial and subsequent college mathematics courses, and the number of mathematics courses completed over 8 semesters of college work. In general, high school curriculum was not differentially related to the pattern of mathematics grades that students earned over time or to the difficulty levels of the students' mathematics course-taking patterns. There also was no relationship between high school curricula and the number of college mathematics courses completed.

Abstract:
Our work aims to substantiate and extend earlier findings on the effects of student-teacher race matching on academic achievement using longitudinal data for students in Grades 3 through 8 in Tennessee. We examine heterogenous effects not only by racial subgroup and student preparedness, as explored in prior literature, but also by levels of teacher effectiveness, drawing on data from the state’s teacher evaluation system. We find that student-teacher race congruence does not have a significant overall effect on test scores. However, subgroup analyses reveal a positive, significant race-match effect in elementary school math. We observe meaningful effects for Black students in both reading and math, race-matched students in the bottom-most preparedness quartile in math, and race-matched students assigned to teachers in the middle two teacher performance quartiles in math. Our results align with prior findings, emphasizing that race-match effects transcend state borders. Findings support policy efforts to diversify the educator labor force.

Abstract:
The performance of schools in a large urban school district was examined using achievement data from a longitudinally matched cohort of middle school students. Schools were evaluated in terms of the mean achievement and mean growth of students in mathematics and language arts. Application of multilevel, longitudinal models to student achievement data revealed that 1) school performance varied across both outcome measures in both subject areas, 2) significant proportions of variation were associated with school-to-school differences in performance, 3) evaluations of school performance differed depending on whether school mean achievement or school mean growth in achievement was examined, and 4) school mean achievement was a weak predictor of school mean growth. These results suggest that assessments of school performance depend on choices of how data are modeled and analyzed. In particular, the present study indicates that schools with low mean scores are not always “poor performing” schools. Use of student growth rates to evaluate school performance enables schools that would otherwise be deemed low performing to demonstrate positive effects on student achievement. Implications for state accountability systems are discussed.

Abstract:
<p class="apa">This study intends to compare and contrast student and school factors that are associated with students’ mathematics self-efficacy in the United States and China. Using hierarchical linear regressions to analyze the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2012 data, this study compares math self-efficacy, achievement, and variables such as math teacher support and socioeconomic status (SES) between 15-year-old students in the U.S. and in Shanghai, China. The findings suggest that on average, students from Shanghai showed higher math self-efficacy and better achievement than those of American students. However, at the student level, similar positive relationships between math teacher support and math self-efficacy and between SES and math self-efficacy were found in both locations. That is, in the U.S. and Shanghai, an increase in math teacher support predicts an increase in math self-efficacy, also higher SES is significantly associated with higher math self-efficacy. In addition, at the school level, the smaller difference in American students’ math self-efficacy between higher SES school and lower SES school indicates that the U.S. is more equitable between schools than Shanghai, China in terms of students’ math self-efficacy. Implications from this study indicate that improving teacher support in math class and narrowing the gap in students’ self-efficacy related to school-level SES is a significant issue for the U.S. and Shanghai, China respectively.</p>

Abstract:
The beginning of every school year provides challenges to students from a variety of sources. This year's teachers may structure their classroom differently from last year's teachers. Teachers at the same grade level may place greater emphasis on different topics. Teachers' expectations for how students participate in instructional activities may differ. Students also face the problem of forgetting what they learned last year, especially if they have not used particular mathematical knowledge or skills over the summer months. Such annual challenges are minor in comparison with the challenges that students face during crucial transition points: from elementary school to middle school, from middle school to high school, and from high school to postsecondary education.

Abstract:
The demand for school improvement has increased concern over the ability of small high schools to offer comprehensive programs and has raised anew the pressure for consolidation. However, although large schools clearly offer more courses than do small ones, it is less clear that they offer more comprehensive programs. In this study we use the High School and Beyond data to address three questions, (a) Are the math, science, and foreign language programs of large schools more comprehensive than those of small ones? (b) For any given school size, are these programs equally comprehensive? (c) Is there some point on the school size continuum beyond which comprehensiveness shows little change? We find that although large schools offer more comprehensive programs than do small ones, there is substantial variation in comprehensiveness among the three programs at any given school size, and there is no common point where the programs of smaller schools approximate the comprehensiveness of larger ones.

Abstract:
Purpose: This study explored a theoretical model proposing direct and mediated effects for principals’ characteristics—principals’ information-processing mechanisms (PIPMs) and instructional leadership (IL)—with organizational learning mechanisms (OLMs), for schools’ OLMs with teachers’ characteristics—teachers’ affective commitment (TAC), collective teacher efficacy (CTE), and teachers’ job satisfaction (TJS)—and finally, for teachers’ characteristics with students’ achievements on national math and science tests. Design: Data were collected from a multisource survey of a random sample of 130 elementary school principals representing Israel’s full socioeconomic range, 1,700 teachers from those schools, as well as data on those schools retrieved from the Ministry of Education data set. Data were aggregated at the school level for structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis. Findings: Analysis from SEM confirmed that IL emerges as a prominent mediator between PIPMs and OLMs. OLMs emerged as a prominent mediator between IL and the three teachers’ characteristics. TAC and CTE were significantly directly related to students’ math and science achievements. Finally, OLMs promoted students’ math and science achievements only through CTE. Implications: The relationships found for both principal characteristics (PIPMs and IL) with OLMs in schools highlight principals’ potentially important role in promoting collective learning within schools through utilization of OLMs, which can predict critical teacher characteristics (TAC, CTE, TJS), which in turn can predict school effectiveness measures (i.e., students’ achievements).

Abstract:
<p> For the last several years, Americans have fallen behind in the area of mathematics when compared to their peers in industrialized countries around the world. Singapore, on the other hand, was at the top of the world rankings in mathematics in the last four Trends in International Math and Science Study (TIMSS) assessments taken by fourth and eighth graders every four years. This project focused on the impact of the Singapore Math program on two cohorts of students by utilizing their Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) scores from the mathematics subtest. The first cohort, A, was comprised of students who were in third, fourth, and fifth grade during the first years of the implementation of the Singapore Math program in 2007, 2008, 2009, and compared with students in Cohort B who were exposed to the math program since first grade, as intended by the publisher. The students of Cohort B were in third, fourth, and fifth grade in 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. Data were also analyzed to see if the program had a correlation with a decrease in gender, ethnic, or socioeconomic (SES) achievement gaps when compared to Cohort B. Three tests were given in order to triangulate the results of the MAP test: difference in means by way of a <i>z</i>-test for a difference in means, a comparison of students scoring proficient and advanced through the utilization of a z-test for difference in proportions, and an <i>F</i>-test for difference in variance in MAP scores. </p><p> Results of the study yielded mixed results. While there was not a significant statistical difference in achievement between Cohort A and B in third, fourth, or fifth grade, there was evidence to support that the subgroups that were included in the study (female students, Black students, and students with Free and Reduced Lunch status) performed commensurately with their peers in Cohort B.</p>

Abstract:
COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR<br>Esta tese teve como objetivo percorrer de forma crítica a trajetória teórica que dá suporte à importância da resolução de problemas no ensino da Matemática, dentro da perspectiva do pensamento produtivo e da aprendizagem significativa. Para isso, foram analisadas contribuições das teorias de campo Gestalt, em particular as de Max Wertheimer e Kurt Lewin, relativas a esses dois conceitos que se complementam: o pensamento produtivo aborda mais especificamente a resolução de problemas no âmbito de uma aprendizagem significativa, no verdadeiro sentido da palavra (Wertheimer); as situações de aprendizagem consideram o -espaço de vida do sujeito, incluindo a pessoa e o meio, e representa a totalidade dos eventos possíveis (Lewin). Do ponto de vista da educação matemática, foram abordadas a heurística e a intuição, por se constituírem em dois elementos importantes de aproximação deste campo com conceitos da Gestalt relacionados à solução de problemas. Nesse campo também foi avaliada a contribuição de autores significativos como George Polya, Imre Lakatos e outros. Tendo em vista que, de alguns anos para cá, os programas do ensino de Matemática têm orientado os docentes a usarem solução de problemas como base metodológica de ensino, foi realizado também um estudo exploratório tomando como instrumento de pesquisa entrevistas realizadas com professores de Matemática de escolas avaliadas pelo programa Nova Escola no Rio de Janeiro. Do mesmo modo, orientações teórico-pedagógicas contidas nos documentos dos principais programas nacionais de avaliação do ensino médio brasileiro como Aneb e Enem, caracterizam-se por apoiar suas avaliações em matemática na resolução de problemas e em aprendizagens significativas. Os dados coletados nesta parte da tese foram ilustrativos do estudo teórico realizado, ratificando a relação que se levantou dessas orientações com as contribuições da escola da Gestalt que revelou ser fundamental na concepção do pensamento produtivo como pressuposto de uma verdadeira aprendizagem significativa. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstraram uma visão acerca das razões para resolver problemas que, para além de um meio ou um fim em si mesmo, se confunde com o próprio ensino e aprendizagem da Matemática.<br>This paper aims at critically analyzing the theoretical background which supports the importance of problem solving in math teaching within the perspective of productive thinking and of meaningful learning. To this end, contributions from the Gestalt field theories were analyzed, particularly those of Max Wertheimer and Kurt Lewin, in relation to these two concepts which complement each other: productive thinking has to do more specifically with problem solving within the scope of a meaningful learning, in the true sense of the word (Wertheimer); learning situations take into consideration the living space of the subject, encompassing the person and the environment, and represents the totality of possible events (Lewin). From the perspective of math education, both heuristics and intuition were dealt with, since they are two important elements which link this field to Gestalt concepts related to problem solving. Within this field, the contribution by significant authors, such as George Polya, Imre Lakatos and others, was also assessed. Keeping in mind that in the last few years math teaching programs have recommended that teachers use problem solving as a methodological basis for teaching, an exploratory study was also conducted which used as research tools interviews with math teachers from the Nova Escola (New School) program in Rio de Janeiro. Likewise, theoretical and pedagogical guidelines found in documents from the main national Brazilian high school assessment programs, such as Aneb and Enem, support math evaluation based on problem solving and on meaningful learning. The data collected in this part of the paper illustrated the theoretical study carried out, confirming the relationship found between these guidelines and the contributions by the Gestalt school, which turned out to be critical to the idea of productive thinking as a given of true meaningful learning. The research results demonstrated a viewpoint on reasons to solve problems which, much more than an end or a means, is intrinsic to math teaching and learning.

Abstract:
Recent research has begun focusing on the connections between reading and mathematics. Little research, however, has examined connections between mathematics and other reading related skills, such as spelling. Moreover, working memory may a play a significant role in both systems. Results indicated a significant predictive relationship between spelling and mathematics. Furthermore, this relationship was found to be partially mediated by measures of phonological working memory.

Abstract:
<p> As adolescents transition to middle school, math confidence and performance declines (Eccles et al., 1993; Lee, Statuto, &amp; Kadar-Voivodas, 1983). These declines are typically attributed to social and maturational changes (Eccles, Lord, &amp; Midgley, 1991; Simmons &amp; Blyth, 1987). In this dissertation, I explore the hypothesis that low parent support for schoolwork is also responsible.</p><p> Latino-American adolescents are especially at risk for math difficulties. Maintaining adolescents&rsquo; engagement and performance in math are important goals for mothers because high levels of both are requisites for many professional careers. This dissertation will focus on Latino-American families to determine if mothers&rsquo; homework involvement is associated with changes in children&rsquo;s math-related outcomes across the transition to secondary school.</p><p> Parental involvement in math homework is assumed to mitigate declines in math performance during this transition. Cognitive models suggest that involved parents utilize scaffolding (Rogoff &amp; Gardner, 1984) and instruction to ensure math achievement (Pomerantz &amp; Moorman, 2010). Motivational models suggest that involved parents foster math engagement by bolstering child confidence, modeling management strategies, and promoting values that encourage children to work hard (Grolnick &amp; Slowiaczek, 1994; Simpkins, Fredricks, &amp; Eccles, 2015). However, empirical evidence in support of the importance of parents in math achievement is limited. While positive forms of involvement co-occur with better math outcomes (Bhanot &amp; Jovanovic, 2005; Rice et al., 2013), no studies have examined such associations longitudinally. Children who are uninterested in math may be more susceptible to the effects of parental homework involvement because they lack internal motivation for mastery that underlies performance in other children.</p><p> The present study examines the extent to which Latina-American mothers&rsquo; involvement in math homework is effective in preventing declines in child math-related outcomes (i.e., perceptions of math ability, etc) during the transition to middle school. Child math interest was postulated to moderate this association. Results indicated that low maternal homework involvement predicts worsening child math-related outcomes, but only for children who were intrinsically uninterested in math.</p><p> The findings hold important implications for parents, who must work to ensure that they remain engaged in their children&rsquo;s activities, especially if children appear uninterested in math.</p><p>

A base inicial da pesquisa foi um estudo imersivo em diferentes comunidades virtuais, literatura acadêmica correlata, cursos específicos do software, produção e análise de diferentes construções dinâmicas. Por fim, optou-se por delimitar a análise aprofundada em entrevistas semiestruturadas com sete professores de matemática, usuários experientes do software. Confrontando-se estes entrevistados com algumas limitações do software, buscou-se estudar como eles transitam entre diferentes modos de produção de significados matemáticos. Pautando-se em reconhecer os diferentes jogos de linguagem, advindos das explicações dos sujeitos da pesquisa, foram sintetizadas três adjetivações que caracterizam os diferentes modos de produção de significados matemáticos: a Matemática do Matemático (MM), a Matemática da Escola (ME) e a Matemática do GeoGebra (MG). Esta pesquisa pautou-se na técnica de investigação qualitativa livre, em função da sua tentativa de compreender mais detalhadamente os significados e características situacionais. A análise dos dados foi realizada à luz de alguns elementos da Análise Textual Discursiva segundo Moraes e Galiazzi (2007). As categorias criadas, a posteriori, foram as seguintes: Matemática do Matemático (MM); Matemática da Escola (ME); Matemática do GeoGebra (MG); Trânsito entre as matemáticas; Percepção da MG; Necessidade de compreensão da MG; aparente Compreensão da MG e aparente Incompreensão da MG. A partir da análise dos dados foi possível confirmar o uso de diferentes jogos de linguagem e, portanto, confirmar o transitar entre a MM, a ME e a MG. Ainda, percebeu-se e analisou-se diferentes formas de transitar, concluindo-se que existe um modo de transitar, comum a todos os entrevistados. Parte-se das possibilidades semióticas da MG, aproveitando-se da maleabilidade da ME, para formalizar-se significados matemáticos, legítimos a MM. Finalmente, a partir da análise aprofundada de uma entrevista, propõe-se o reconhecimento de diferentes aspectos da MG e da história do GeoGebra, como uma forma de aprender sobre como lidar com suas possibilidades e limites.<br>This work aims to demonstrate that GeoGebra presents has a different way of producing mathematical meanings, suggesting its relevance to mathematics teaching and to discuss its language, possibilities and limitations. Research initial framework was an immersive study in different virtual communities, academic literature, specific courses, production and analysis of different dynamic constructions. In the end, the choice was to delimitate a depth analysis on semi-structures interviews with seven math teachers, experienced software users. Confronting this respondents with some limitations of the software, we sought to study how they transit between different modes of production of mathematical meanings. Based on recognizing the different language games, arising of research subjects were synthesized three adjectives that characterize the different mathematical modes of production: Math from Mathematician (MM), Math from School (ME, in Portuguese) and Math from Geogebra (MG, in Portuguese too). This research used the free qualitative investigation for its attempt to understand with more details the meanings and situational characteristics. Data analysis was carried out with some elements of Discursive Textual Analysis from Moraes and Galiazzi (2007). The categories created, a posteriori, were: Mathematics from Mathematician (MM); Math from School (ME); and Math from Geogebra (MG); Transit between the mathematics; Perception from MG; need of comprehension from MG; apparent comprehension from MG and incomprehension from MG. Data analysis enable to confirm the use of different languages games and, thus, confirm the transition between MM, ME and MG. I still realized and analyzed different ways of transition, concluding that there is a common way to transit between all respondents. We set of semiotic possibilities from MG, taking advantage of the malleability from ME, to formalized mathematical meanings, legitimate from MM. Finally, from the depth analysis of an interview, it is proposed to recognize different aspects from MG and of the GeoGebra history, as a way to learn about how to deal with its possibilities and limits.

Abstract:
The nature of the decision-making processes and the resulting changes made in school programs and curricula in Indiana elementary schools was the focus of this research. The changes were required of these schools by the State of Indiana through the Performance-Based Accreditation division of the Indiana Department of Education. These schools were expected to make changes because they had performed below standard on the math portion of ISTEP+, the State standardized assessment test, during the 1997-98 school year. The objective of the study was to examine the perceptions of the participants as to the influence that mediating factors had on their schools' decision-making processes.The survey population consisted of principals and teachers from 18 Indiana elementary schools from accreditation group IV. In the 18 schools surveyed, 14 principals (78%) and 182 teachers (50%) responded. The participants were grouped as principals and teachers, and were organized for data analysis by location of their respective schools. Two of the schools were urban, seven suburban and nine were rural. The purpose of the study was to explore the decision-making processes used at these elementary schools. Little is known about these decision-making processes in schools that are faced with the requirement to make changes as the result of low test scores. Data gathered in the study included the types of changes and the factors influencing the change-related decisions. Through analysis of the data, the researcher attempted to gain insights that could be used to assist educators in future efforts relating to change and decision-making.Findings of the study indicated that schools primarily used new textbooks to address new approaches to the math curriculum and remediation programs or test skills programs to focus more specifically on improving test scores. The principals and teachers generally felt the decision-making processes in their schools were very collaborative; however, while teachers perceived those processes to be collaborative, their perception reflected a lesser degree of collaboration than the principals. Concern on the part of the teachers and principals for student learning and the school systems' accountability to the Preformance-Based Accreditation program were perceived as the factors having the greatest influence on the decisions to improve math performance. Clearly, these professionals felt the need to change; however, findings indicated that these changes were motivated in part by professionalism and, in part, by the pressures of accountability to the State.Recommendations for further study were included.<br>Department of Educational Leadership

Abstract:
The current investigation supports the objectives of Project GEMS (Roberts, 2008), a grant funded program whose objectives include the development and validation of a protocol to identify students from underrepresented and diverse populations as gifted in the content areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Identification of students from low-income and diverse populations as gifted has been a struggle with current assessment techniques (Baldwin, 2005). Project GEMS aims to address this problem through development of interest measures specific to the STEM areas for use within an identification protocol. The current project developed a measure to assess interest in mathematics. The construct of interest was targeted as it is correlated with many positive factors in education that lead to increased academic performance (Schunk, Pintrich, & Meece, 2008). Existing math interest inventories are designed for older populations, lack good psychometric properties and are atheoretical. To improve upon existing interest measures, Hidi and Renninger’s (2006) four-phase model of interest served as the theoretical basis to inform and guide the process of development and validation of a math interest inventory. A twenty-seven item self-report math interest measure was designed to assess the four phases of Hidi and Renninger’s interest model (emotion, value, knowledge, and engagement; 2006). Pilot and field testing of the measure were conducted in elementary schools selected on the basis of a high proportion of low-income students in a south central Kentucky school district. The sample consists of 1,429,429 students in grades two through six. The measure was hypothesized to evidence good internal consistency, a four-factor structure, and a significant and positive correlations between the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and the composite and subscales of the math interest inventory. The first hypothesis found support with an internal consistency reliability coefficient of .916 for the overall score. Results of confirmatory factor analysis supported a four-factor structure resembling Hidi and Renninger’s (2006) four phase model of interest and including the four components emotion, value, knowledge, and engagement. The correlations between the math scores from the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and the math interest inventory total score and scales partially supported the last hypothesis. The correlations were small and positive for the Values and Knowledge scales but small and negative for the Emotion and Engagement scales. The correlations for the total score of the math interest inventory were significant; however, their values had little practical significance. While the math interest measure evidences good reliability and support for the structure of the scales through confirmatory factor analysis, the current study did not provide evidence for a significant relationship with math achievement as measured by a standardized group administered math achievement test. These results are discussed in relation to limitations of the current study and recommendations for further investigation.

Abstract:
The present study explored the direct influences of contextual social support, including parental involvement, perceived teacher support, and peer influence, on 11th-grade students' math achievement. The study also examined the indirect influences of these contextual social support factors on students' achievement through their math motivation in math courses. The first follow-up year data of High School Longitudinal Study of 2012 (HSLS: 09) was used for this study. Structural equation modeling (SEM) served as the main statistical technique to examine the relationships among variables. The results of this study showed three sets of important findings. The first set showed that students' perception of teacher support and peer influence were significantly and directly related to students' math achievement, with the relationship between peer influence and math achievement being positive and the relationship between perceived teacher support and math achievement being negative. Controlling for other variables in the model, parental involvement was not significantly related to student math achievement. The second set of findings demonstrated that math motivation indeed plays a significant role in mediating the relationships of social support (from teachers and peers, but not from parental involvement) and student math achievement in high school. The third set of findings indicated that both family SES and prior math achievement influenced student social support and math achievement. Furthermore, two main deviations were found between White/Asian and African-American/Hispanic student models. Perceived teacher support negatively and significantly influenced White/Asian students' math achievement, but it had no significant influence on African-American/Hispanic students. In addition, math motivation had a stronger influence on the math achievement for White/Asian students than African-American/Hispanic students. The present study makes significant theoretical and practical contributions to the body of knowledge on the role of parental involvement, perceived teacher support, and peer influence on math achievement at the high school level using nationally representative data.<br>PHD

Abstract:
Among the factors affecting the quality of education in schools are characteristics of principals, characteristics of teachers and programs, and characteristics of families. In this study of 80 schools in Virginia, composite fourth-grade reading and math scores, calculated by taking the mean of total reading and math scores for three years (83-85), were regressed on three sets of variables representing these factors. Each set of variables was entered as a block, and all orders of entry were systematically explored. When characteristics of families were entered first, they accounted for 56 percent of the variance in reading scores and 35 percent of the variance in math scores. The change in R² was not significant when each of the remaining blocks were entered. Order of entry had no effect; characteristics of families were the only variables that produced a statistically significant R square, regardless of order. Both variables comprising characteristics of families produced significant partial regression coefficients. The coefficients for percentage of students in the school receiving free or reduced-price lunch were -.632 (<u>p</u>< .00) for reading and -.539 (<u>p</u> < .00) for math. The coefficients for percentage membership in the school‘s organization for parents were .077 (<u>p</u>< .05) for reading and .101 (<u>p</u> < .05) for math. Characteristics of principals and characteristics of teachers and programs, as measured in this study, did not have an effect on student achievement in reading or math above their combined effects with characteristics of families. Obviously, principals, teachers, and programs do have an effect on student achievement; however, the specific variables used in this study to measure these characteristics were unable to capture these effects.<br>Ed.

Abstract:
At the end of secondary education, the students of the United States are behind most advanced countries in science and mathematics. The main problem lies in the fact that the United States education system does not have a clear focus in their teaching of math and science through primary and secondary schools. According to the United States Department of Education, only 22 of the 50 states in the U.S. require that three years of math and science be taught in order to graduate from high school. This puts students of the United States at a disadvantage against the rest of the competitors on the global marketplace. This lack of uniformity in the United States is the reason that high school graduates are behind other developed countries in their math and science scores and subsequently less Americans are graduating from universities in the sciences. These facts could contribute detrimentally to the economic progress in the United States. To remedy this lack of American scientists and engineers, the United States needs to have a comprehensive system to encourage the study of math and science from primary school all the way to implementation in the economic marketplace.

Abstract:
Many educators in the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines hope to improve the number of students interested in and prepared for these more difficult disciplines through innovative teaching, demonstrations and hosted camps. Research has shown that motivation is a much smaller part of the issue; student learning outcomes are much more sensitive to fundamental academic ability. Current curriculum design fails most students miserably in helping them bridge the gap from concrete learning to abstract thought and understanding in the middle school years. Thus, they are ill-prepared to engage in the more advanced learning required to pursue the STEM disciplines, a result that no amount of innovative teaching can correct. This paper will review the performance data from industrial nations at the 4th Grade and 8th Grade levels and illustrate curriculum differences between industrial countries producing higher percentages of STEM graduates. Examination of the performance effects of many variables, including number and sequencing of topics studied, time spent on homework, teacher credentials, access to technology, class size and dollars allocated per student, yields some surprising results. The problem is not as sensitive to many of these variables as one might expect. However, the variables that seem to provide promise for significant improvement from the current state of STEM education are related to topic coverage and manner of presentation. Final recommendations include reduction in the number of topics introduced in any given year with a corresponding reorganization of the curricula, to allow STEM teachers in the middle school to focus on the transitional learning that must occur to prepare for more advanced studies.

Abstract:
Global Learning Charter Public School (GLCPS) is an urban secondary school located in the city of New Bedford, Massachusetts. GLCPS educates students in grades 5–12. It is a Title I school with over 74% of the student population on free and reduced lunch. Historically, only 60% of students graduating from New Bedford move on to postsecondary education. It is the goal of our school to change this and increase the number of students entering post secondary education and more specifically to increase their interest in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) fields. GLCPS provides a unique educational experience where students demonstrate academic excellence and mastery of essential skills. These skills include: technology literacy, public speaking, global citizenship and arts exploration. Incorporation of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) is a continued goal for our school. After attending teacher educator training/professional development in engineering-based learning (EBL), we decided to create a robotics course, which fully embedded EBL into the curriculum. The goal of this robotics course is two fold: 1) Combine engineering, math, science, and art/creativity into one course; and 2) engineering-based learning can impact the way students learn STEAM principles, retain STEAM theory, and apply them to real world, relevant applications. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how engineering-based learning inspired and impacted the development of a robotics course in an urban, financially disadvantaged, secondary charter school. Specifically, we detail how the principles and tools of the engineering-based learning pedagogy affected the development and implementation of this robotics course. Lastly, we will demonstrate how EBL and the robotics course have changed student perceptions of science, engineering, and math.

Abstract:
The aim of the research presented in this work is to investigate how innovative teaching formats, based on student-centred activities, may help first year university students to deal with the difficulties in the transition from the mathematics they are used to in high school, to the one they meet at university, which requires a significant shift to conceptual understanding, especially in Calculus courses. As part of this overarching goal, this presentation investigates the case of Taylor series, a topic that is taught in all calculus courses at university. This work shows the efficacy of a blended learning approach, highlighting the main difficulties concerning the deep understanding of functions by students. We discuss possible limitations, and we provide suggestions for best practices in university math classes.

Abstract:
Engineering Summer Bridge (ESB) program at the University of Texas at Brownsville (UTB) is designed to prepare the engineering freshmen intellectually for an early introduction to the engineering culture and mathematics and science expectation. The program curriculum and content were specifically designed to prepare underrepresented Hispanic students for their success in the coming science and engineering study at UT-Brownsville. More than 92% of the targeted students are underrepresented Hispanic, and English is the second language for 86% of them. Most of these targeted students are academically below the top 10% in their high school graduating classes due to the pre-selection of TOP10 Texas House Bill. The ESB program at UTB cultivates a diverse community of engineering and pre-engineering students and intensively enhances their mathematics preparation in Pre-Calculus and College Algebra. Statistics data from 2012 and 2013 ESB program indicates that more than 81% of the participants in both years did not take Pre-Calculus in high school. Another finding is that 71% of the ESB participants with at least an attendance rate of 50% earned a grade higher than a “B” in their Calculus I class later on, while only 43% from the group with an attendance rate lower than 50% earned a grade higher than a “B” in the Calculus I class. Students seem more successful in their Calculus I study if they attend the classes more frequently. It is also found the early contact with engineering faculty through Summer Bridge Programs, together with an early and longer engineering orientation seminar during the program, are successful ways to assist in the retention of engineering freshman [1–2].

In particular, we refer to the difficulties students meet in the transition from the high school mathematics to the one they meet at university, which requires a significant shift to conceptual understanding, especially in Calculus courses. The goal of this presentation is to investigate the case of multivariable functions, a topic at the foundation of many mathematical models and its application. We show the results of the first pilot study which involves 160 undergraduate students. More precisely, we report how a flipped-learning approach based on online activities and working group allows students to deep understand the main properties concerning multivariable functions.

Abstract:
This paper details improvement of the Engineering Summer ridge (ESB) program at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV). Here we provide some of our experiences to fine-tune the program depending on the student need. Initial goal of ESB program was to challenge the freshman students intellectually, improve student communication and socialization skills, and provide student an early introduction to the University expectations and culture. The students who are graduating from the high school has lack of these qualities and the ESB program at UTRGV prepares engineering students to cultivate these qualities and to meet the challenges of University requirements. First-year college students require developmental education in Reading, Writing, or Mathematics will become “college-ready” in those subject areas through the ESB program. In our 2017 ESB program, we focused mostly with the Calculus-ready component. Specific goals of our ESB program include improving the College algebra and Pre-calculus level math expectations, and help students eliminate the math gap by passing the COMPASS Test as well as the Pre-calculus Test by UTRGV math department in the summer to get ready for Calculus I in their first semester. Study to the six-year tracking data suggests that, participants in ESB program demonstrated higher engineering interests. Improvement of engineering math readiness and overall the success rate in the selected engineering major will be presented in this paper.

Abstract:
In order for our future engineers to be able to work toward a sustainable future, they must be versed not only in sustainable engineering but also in engineering design. An engineering education must train our future engineers to think flexibly and to be adaptive as it is unlikely that their future will have them working in one domain. They must, instead, be versatilists. The School of Engineering at James Madison University has been developed from the ground up to provide this general engineering training with an emphasis on engineering design, systems thinking, and sustainability. Students take courses in math and science, business and liberal arts, engineering science, sustainability, and design. In this paper, we discuss how sustainability is taught in a multi-context perspective through the School’s curriculum and pedagogy. We do not mean to present the School’s approach as an all or nothing model, but instead as a collection of approaches of which hopefully one or more may be appropriate at another university.

Abstract:
An engineering Summer Bridge (Engineering Summer Readiness Workshop after 2015) program has been implemented at the University of Texas at Brownsville (UTB) since summer 2012. After three years of program data accumulation, we can now track those participants from their freshman up to junior year (for those still active in UTB engineering) and further extend our study on the effect of the designed engineering summer program on a) the semester the participants take Calculus I; b) the semester the participants pass Calculus I; c) the first- and second-year engineering active rate; and d) the success rate in the selected engineering major courses of all the participants. We compared all the above mentioned data to the average data of the engineering majors at the same academic stage/level. The engineering summer bridge program was originally designed to prepare the fresh high school graduates intellectually on their math and for an early readiness for their coming engineering study. More than 90% of the targeted students are Hispanic in south Texas, and English is the second language for 86% of them. As one of the components of the University of Texas System, UTB is a minority-serving institution catering mostly to the underrepresented Hispanic population of the Lower Rio Grande Valley region. It has one of the highest concentrations of Hispanic students (both in number and percentage) compared to other universities in the nation [Table 1]. Among the overall student enrollment at the university in fall 2013, 91% are Hispanic. Most of the targeted students are academically below the top 10% in their high school graduating classes due to the pre-selection of the top 10% students by the Texas flagship universities. First-generation college-goers experience a variety of challenges as they enter and move through higher education. The Engineering Summer Bridge provides students with specific types of resources and support to ensure that they move into and through engineering study smoothly and to shorten the time for their engineering study. The 4–5 week summer bridge program at UTB intensively enhances math preparation in pre-calculus and college algebra, and also actively engages the students with the modern engineering design concepts and tools. Specific goals of the bridge programs include introducing math expectations of engineering program in the areas of College Algebra, Pre-calculus, and help students eliminate the math gap by passing the COMPASS Test as well as the Pre-calculus Test in the summer to get ready for Calculus I in the coming fall semester. The long-term goals of the ESB program aim to improve the first- and second-year retention rate and four-year graduation rate of UTB engineering majors. Study on the previous three year’s data suggests that, compared to the overall average of the students enrolling into the UTB engineering program at the same period, summer bridge program participants have statistically started and finished their Calculus I (thus becoming engineering math ready) earlier. Participants also demonstrated higher engineering interesting which was proved by the participation rate in introductory engineering projects in the first two years of their engineering study. Besides, 88% of surveyed students reported that the program was helpful and convenient, and 100% of surveyed students reported that they would recommend the summer bridge program to a friend or a fellow student. Comparison of the first- to second-year active engineering student rate also suggests the validness of the summer bridge program.

Abstract:
We conducted an experiment in low-income schools in Chile to test the effects and behavioral changes triggered by a program that sends attendance, grade, and classroom behavior information to parents via weekly and monthly text messages. Our 18-month intervention raised average math GPA by 0.09 of a standard deviation and increased the share of students satisfying attendance requirements for grade promotion by 4.5 percentage points. Treatment effects were larger for students at higher risk of later grade retention and dropout. Leveraging existing school inputs for a light-touch, cost-effective, and scalable information intervention can improve education outcomes in lower-income settings.

Abstract:
Vietnam’s strong performance on the 2012 and 2015 PISA assessments has led to interest in what explains the strong academic performance of Vietnamese students. Analysis of the PISA data has not shed much light on this issue. This paper analyses a much richer data set, the Young Lives data for Ethiopia, India (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana), Peru and Vietnam, to investigate the reasons for the strong academic performance of 15-year-olds in Vietnam. Differences in observed child and household characteristics explain 37-39% of the gap between Vietnam and Ethiopia, while observed school variables explain only about 3-4 additional percentage points (although an important variable, math teachers’ pedagogical skills, is not available for Ethiopia). Differences in observed child and household characteristics explain very little of the gaps between Vietnam and India and between Vietnam and Peru, yet one observed school variable has a large explanatory effect: primary school math teachers’ pedagogical skills. It explains about 10-12% of the gap between Vietnam and India, raising the overall explained portion to 14-21% of the gap. For Peru, it explains most (65-84%) of the gap.

Abstract:
Attention to mixed methods studies research has increased in recent years, particularly among funding agencies that increasingly require a mixed methods approach for program evaluation. At the same time, researchers operating within large-scale, rapid-turnaround research projects are faced with the reality that collection and analysis of large amounts of qualitative data typically require an intense amount of project resources and time. However, practical examples of efficiently collecting and handling high-quality qualitative data within these studies are limited. More examples are also needed of procedures for integrating the qualitative and quantitative strands of a study from design to interpretation in ways that can facilitate efficiencies. This paper provides a detailed description of the strategies used to collect and analyze qualitative data in what the research team believed to be an efficient, high-quality way within a team-based mixed methods evaluation study of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) high-school education. The research team employed an iterative approach to qualitative data analysis that combined matrix analyses with Microsoft Excel and the qualitative data analysis software program ATLAS.ti. This approach yielded a number of practical benefits. Selected preliminary results illustrate how this approach can simplify analysis and facilitate data integration.

Abstract:
In this article, we explore whether the evaluation instruments used to recruit teachers in the national teacher hiring process in Peru are good predictors of teacher effectiveness. To this end, we estimate teacher value-added (TVA) measures for public primary school teachers in 2018 and test for their correlation with the results of the 2015 and 2017 national evaluations. Our findings indicate that among the three sub-tests that comprise the first, centralized stage of the process, the curricular and pedagogical knowledge component has the strongest (and significant) correlation with the TVA measure, while the weakest correlation is found with the reading comprehension component. At the second, decentralized stage, we find no significant correlation with our measures of TVA for math, as well as non-robust correlations for the professional experience and classroom observation evaluation instruments. A positive and significant correlation is found between the classroom observation component and TVA for reading. Moreover, we find correlations between our measure of TVA and several teacher characteristics: TVA is higher for female teachers and for those at higher salary levels while it is lower for teachers with temporary contracts (compared to those with permanent positions).

Abstract:
The College of Engineering, Computer Science, and Technology at the California State University, Los Angeles has expanded its National Summer Transportation Institute into a year-long program by creating the Infrastructure Academy Transportation Program (IATP). The goal of this program is to build a pipeline of diverse, well qualified young people for the transportation industry. The program works with high school students and teachers to offer academic courses, basic skills, workforce readiness training, internships, extracurricular activities, and career placements to prepare students and place them into the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) College track. The academy emphasizes on transportation as an industry sector and aims to increase the number of underrepresented minorities and women who directly enter the transportation workforce. It also aims at increasing the number of young people who enter college to study engineering or technology and subsequently pursue careers in transportation- and infrastructure-related careers. The IATP was conducted as a full-year program with 30 student participants from high schools.

Abstract:
In the aftermath of COVID-related school closures in the UK, students lost two months of learning, but the loss among the 1.7 million disadvantaged students has been much larger at seven months. This disadvantaged gap is almost entirely driven by maths attainment. One-to-one tutoring is proven to be effective at helping students catch up, but private tutoring is most likely to be taken up by children from affluent households, further widening the disadvantaged gap in learning. This report discusses the feasibility of an innovative tutoring delivery model that uses the global graduate market to deliver tutoring at a scale that can solve this problem and a price that schools can afford. While the report discusses the overall opportunity that the emerging market economies of South- and South-East Asia provide, it also presents the Third Space Learning model in Sri Lanka as a case study to investigate the practicalities of the global online tutoring model.
