The Process Of Tracking In Mathematics In Box Elder School District, Megan Haramoto Bushnell
The Process Of Tracking In Mathematics In Box Elder School District, Megan Haramoto Bushnell
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Educational policymakers have used tracking to instruct students in a variety of subjects, including mathematics. Tracking, which has also been called ability grouping, is a process by which students in the same grade are placed into different classes based on academic ability. Few educators and sociologists have looked at the process by which students are placed in different mathematics tracks. The research design of this study focused on accumulating, evaluating, and reporting the understanding and observations of 12 teachers and 4 counselors as they discussed their knowledge and involvement in the mathematics placement procedures from the intermediate and middle school …

Benefits Of Leed Designs In Arkansas K-12 Schools, Philip Thrift
Benefits Of Leed Designs In Arkansas K-12 Schools, Philip Thrift
Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
This paper provides and evaluation of an existing LEED certified sustainable green building for energy-efficiency, environmental impact, economic value, and occupant health. The new Bethel Middle School located in Bryant, Arkansas was the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified public school building in the state. Based on actual building specifications and validated with the first year's utility bills, a simulation model was used to evaluate various design aspects of the school building. The building's baseline energy usage was compared with numerous energy and environmental scenarios. Results include both environmental and economic assessments. Overall, the study found that …
It's All About The Teachers: Bank Street's Math For Teachers As Professional Development, Robin Hummel
It's All About The Teachers: Bank Street's Math For Teachers As Professional Development, Robin Hummel
Graduate Student Independent Studies
This work describes a professional development initiative that was based on the graduate course, Mathematics for Teachers in Diverse and Inclusive Educational Settings (K-6), taught by Linda Metnetsky at Bank Street College of Education. The author wrote and implemented this professional development initiative for teachers in her former district: a large, middle class, suburban school district outside of Philadelphia. It consisted of six full day sessions, held from October through April during the 2004-05 school year. Eleven teachers from third, fourth, and fifth grades participated, and the impact of this professional development on two participants is the focus of this …
An Investigation Of Communication Patterns And Strategies Between International Teaching Assistants And Undergraduate Students In University-Level Science Labs, Barbara Elas Gourlay
An Investigation Of Communication Patterns And Strategies Between International Teaching Assistants And Undergraduate Students In University-Level Science Labs, Barbara Elas Gourlay
Master's Theses, Dissertations, Graduate Research and Major Papers Overview
Investigates communication between international teaching assistants and their undergraduate students in university-level chemistry labs. Qualitative and quantitative data from observations and interviews with study participants guide the analysis of laboratory interactions, which examines patterns of conversational listening. Results reveal that successful communication depends on teaching assistant listening comprehension skills and on the coordination of verbal and visual (gestural and physical resources) sources of information.

From College Prep High School Courses To College Remedial Courses : Bridging The Gap, Tracy K. Abar
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
This study investigated students’ use of, and access to, the calculator in high school mathematics courses and compared it to the accessibility of a calculator during college placement tests. In spring 1999, at the request of the College Board, the Educational Testing Service (ETS) conducted a survey on calculator use in the nation’s schools. Ninety-nine point nine percent of the schools surveyed indicated they either required or allowed calculators for part of their college preparatory mathematics sequence. Accompanying the increased role of calculators in mathematics learning and the use of technology in the classroom, significant changes were introduced into many …
Toward A New Social Contract: A Tripartite Mixed-Methods Analysis Of Social Sustainability At Three Land-Grant Universities, Lyndsay Josephine Agans
Toward A New Social Contract: A Tripartite Mixed-Methods Analysis Of Social Sustainability At Three Land-Grant Universities, Lyndsay Josephine Agans
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Increasingly, colleges and universities in the United States are adapting toward a model of behavior that incorporates issues of sustainability. This adaptation in universities and in society has implications on the organizational and nation-state level, the very core of which may serve to reshape the social contract between the two. In addition to supplying a strong counter-hegemonic argument that alters the competitive economic agenda-setting paradigm, this study serves as a tripartite comparative case study analysis of university adaptation toward social sustainability. By employing a social capital lens to understanding social sustainability in higher education, this study seeks to examine the …
