Exploring The Use Of Assessment For Learning In Mathematics Teaching And Learning: A Case Study Of One Secondary School In Temeke Municipal Dsm, Tanzania, Selemani Said Mdee

Master of Education

This study explored the use of assessment for learning (AfL) in mathematics teaching and learning in one of secondary schools in Temeke Municipal in Dar es Salaam Tanzania. The study was guided by four subsidiary questions which are: to what extent teachers clarify learning intention and share criteria for success to students and what techniques teachers use to elicit evidence of learning. The other questions were, how secondary school learners are activated as an instructional resource for one another during teaching and learning and finally, what are the methods secondary school teachers use to provide feedback that moves learning forward. …

Preserving Ideals Of Chemical Reaction Networks, Mark Curiel

Master's Theses

Under the assumption of mass-action kinetics, every chemical reaction network has an associated polynomial dynamical system. Rather than study the dynamics of this system, we shall study the ideal generated by the polynomials in the system called the steady state ideal. In this thesis, we will show that there is a combinatorial way to determine the existence of monomials in the steady state ideal using the underlying structure of the network. This allows us to prove that there is a combinatorial condition that is enough to guarantee the steady state ideal is monomial. We introduce three operations on chemical reaction …

The Effect Of A Blended Learning Instructional Model On The Mathematics Performance Of Sixth And Seventh Grade Students In A Small Northeastern Urban School District, Debra Joseph-Charles

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

Closing the achievement gap has been the focus of education reform for decades. Federal educational reform policies No Child Left Behind (2002) and Race to The Top (2009) renewed attention on the achievement gap and the quest to find ways to improve student outcomes. The latter addressed the needs of 21st century learners, and as such, the need to look towards new, innovative ways of addressing students' individual needs. In 2010, in its National Educational Technology Plan, Transforming American Education: Learning Powered by Technology, the USDOE stressed that there needed to be a shift in how students were educated, …

Victoria Dragonjac's Portfolio, Victoria Dragonjac

Honors College Portfolios

This portfolio is a collection of my work throughout my past 4 years in Duquesne University’s School of Education. As a Middle-Level Education major, the following pieces are focused on student inquiry in the main 4 subjects of my certification area: Mathematics, English, Social Studies, and Science in addition to Inclusive Education. It is in my opinion that there has been a major shift in how students are taught in comparison to today from even just 10 years ago. In the past, teachers often resorted to teaching the material to the students without allowing them the opportunity to explore and …
