Evaluation Of The Effects Of A Curriculum-Based Math Intervention Package With Elementary School-Age Students In A Summer Academic Clinic, Nicholas E. Hoda Dec 2006

Evaluation Of The Effects Of A Curriculum-Based Math Intervention Package With Elementary School-Age Students In A Summer Academic Clinic, Nicholas E. Hoda

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to empirically evaluate the effects of the Math to Mastery intervention package versus the effects of immediate corrective feedback with elementary school students who were performing at least one year below grade level in mathematics. Students were participants in a one-month summer academic clinic for remediation of reading, writing, and mathematics deficits held at a university in the southeastern United States. A combined-series multiple baseline design across participants was used to evaluate the effects of both interventions for gains in fluency as measured by digits correct per minute on one minute curriculum-based measurement probes. …

With recent educational legislation such as the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, teachers and students are experiencing education differently than teachers and students of the past. Through this basic interpretive case study, I sought to increase the limited research surrounding student perceptions of rural mathematics instruction and accountability testing and to provide a descriptive image of teaching in this rural school. The students, administrators, …
