The purpose of this study was to determine the responses to three research questions. Is there an inverse relationship between PSI and CMT? Is a score on PSI associated with a child’s performance on math fluency and math calculation? Is CMT associated with PSI on math fluency and math calculation? Academic performance in math was measured by tests of math fluency and calculation. The study investigated the likelihood that a child with a slow PSI will have a high coherent motion threshold (CMT). The diagnostic status groups were comprised of 33 children from 2nd to 8th grades. The children were …
The Influence Of Exposure To Inclusive School Environments On The Mathematical Achievement Of General Education Elementary School Students, Andrew P. Davis
The Influence Of Exposure To Inclusive School Environments On The Mathematical Achievement Of General Education Elementary School Students, Andrew P. Davis
Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)
This study examined the influence of student exposure levels as measured by time (years and total minutes per day) on the academic achievement of general education students taught in inclusive classrooms. An ancillary examination was conducted to ascertain the impact of co-teaching classroom instruction on general education students’ math achievement. A non-experimental, correlational, cross-sectional, explanatory design with quantitative measures was executed. The North West Education Association’s Measure of Academic Progress mathematics scores were used to compare the achievement of students in Grade 6 as compared to Grade 3 baselines. Five simultaneous regression analyses were conducted leading to the identification of …
Extended Instruction In Business Courses To Enhance Student Achievement In Math, Lessie Mcnabb Houseworth
Extended Instruction In Business Courses To Enhance Student Achievement In Math, Lessie Mcnabb Houseworth
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Poor achievement on standardized math tests negatively impacts high school graduation rates. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate if math instruction in business classes could improve student achievement in math. As supported by constructivist theory, the students in this study were encouraged to use prior knowledge and experiences to make new connections between math concepts and business applications. The key research question examined if there was a significant increase in the standardized mathematics test scores of students enrolled in business classes with extended mathematics instruction compared to the standardized test scores of students not enrolled in business …
