Examining The Effect Of Flipped Learning On English Language Learner Mathematics Achievement, Kimberlee Margosian Apr 2018

Examining The Effect Of Flipped Learning On English Language Learner Mathematics Achievement, Kimberlee Margosian

Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

English Language Learners (ELLs) are falling behind in mathematics according to the new standardized tests that assess mastery of the Common Core State Standards (Smarter Balanced Test Results, 2017). Simultaneously, flipped learning models have gained momentum in the past decade. Recent studies have found this pedagogical shift to be promising in improving achievement if implemented correctly (Bhagat, Chang, & Chang, 2016; Hung, 2015, Lai & Hwang, 2016; Tawfik & Lilly, 2015; Zengin, 2016). This study used a pre- and post-test quantitative quasi-experimental design to compare the achievement of a mathetmatics standard between the treatment group (n = 30), who received …


Multiplication Automaticity For Students With Learning Disabilities, Sandra G. Barton Apr 2018

Multiplication Automaticity For Students With Learning Disabilities, Sandra G. Barton

Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

Students with learning disabilities (LDs) often struggle to learn and maintain multiplication automaticity. This research looked at using the computer-based instruction (CBI) program, XtraMath, as an intervention to increase multiplication automaticity for students with LDs. Five fifth-grade students who have math goals stated in their Individual Education Plans (IEPs) were participants in this study. A multiple-baseline-across-participants single-case AB design was conducted to determine the impact XtraMath had on automaticity of multiplication facts (0-9) shown by digits correct per minute (DC/M). Each participant entered the intervention phase (i.e., phase B) separately and provided hard data by completing a two-minute, pencil and …
