eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in California cannot find the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) talent they need to stay competitive. Students’ lagging performance in K-12 is a critical reason why. The good news is that the nation’s most effective STEM education programs can help turn the tide. California students have made some progress in math over the past decade. Yet not enough students, least of all minorities, have the chance to learn challenging content to prepare them for college and careers. Elementary students spend very little time on science, and many of the state’s science teachers say the lack the resources they need to succeed. Link til kilde

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Recent national and state standards of accountability have focused on increasing student performance and achievement as well as teacher quality. Included in this challenge is the issue of teacher compensation and how it has evolved with the efforts of providing quality instruction in order to improve the performance of students. Texas has developed and implemented innovative pay systems that focus on student achievement through the process of improving teacher quality. Most recently, the 79th Legislature of Texas passed House Bill One which funded the largest investment in teacher incentives with two teacher incentive programs that would provide $320 million annually to eligible school districts and campuses. This study focused on the Texas Educator Excellence Grant (TEEG) program which provided over $100 million annually to Texas’ most economically… Continue Reading →

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Oregon cannot find the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) talent they need to stay competitive. Students’ lagging performance in K-12 is a critical reason why. The good news is that the nation’s most effective STEM education programs can help turn the tide. Oregon students have made small gains in math over the past decade, and few eighth graders have teachers with undergraduate majors in the subject. Elementary students spend little time on science, and too many Oregon teachers lack access to science facilities and resources. Link til kilde

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in New York cannot find the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) talent they need to stay competitive. Students’ lagging performance in K-12 is a critical reason why. The good news is that the nation’s most effective STEM education programs can help turn the tide. New York students have made some progress in math over the past decade, yet not enough students–least of all minority students–have the chance to learn challenging content to prepare them for college and careers. Too many of the state’s math and science teachers say they don’t have the resources they need to succeed. Again, Black and Latino students bear the brunt of this problem. Link til kilde

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Texas cannot find the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) talent they need to stay competitive. Students’ lagging performance in K-12 is a critical reason why. The good news is that the nation’s most effective STEM education programs can help turn the tide. Texas students have made real progress in math since, 2003, though they have given up some of those gains over the past five years. Texas students spend more time than their peers in other states on elementary science, and they participate in more hands-on learning. Yet not all students have access and support to learn challenging content and prepare for success in college and careers. Boosting the knowledge of middle school science and math teachers should be a top state priority.… Continue Reading →

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Iowa cannot find the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) talent they need to stay competitive. Students’ lagging performance in K-12 is a critical reason why. The good news is that the nation’s most effective STEM education programs can help turn the tide. Student performance in K-12 math and science has not moved far since 2003, and large racial and ethnic achievement gaps persist, as in all states. Not enough students get the chance to learn rich and challenging content that prepares them for college and careers, and few eighth graders–least of all students of color–have teachers with an undergraduate major in math or science.

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Arizona cannot find the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) talent they need to stay competitive. Students’ lagging performance in K-12 is a critical reason why. The good news is that the nation’s most effective STEM education programs can help turn the tide. Arizona students have already made real progress in math over the past decade. Yet not enough Arizona students, least of all minorities, have the chance to learn challenging content to prepare them for college and careers, and math and science teachers say they lack the resources they need. In addition, science does not yet seem to be a priority in Arizona. Students spend little time on science in elementary grades. Link til kilde

Students’ lagging performance in K-12 is a critical reason why. The good news is that the nation’s most effective STEM education programs can help turn the tide. Alabama students have already made real progress in math over the past decade. Yet not enough have the chance to learn rich and challenging content to prepare them for college and careers. The state’s eighth graders are also much less likely than their peers in other states to engage in hands-on science investigations, and most don’t have teachers with an undergraduate major in math.

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: In this study, it is aimed to examine the effect of classroom assessment on science and mathematics achievements. For this purpose, hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) is performed using variables of like learning science/maths, engage teaching in science/maths, confidence in science/maths, and home resources for learning variables at the student level, and experience, education level, homework, and assessment at the teacher level. The sample of the study consists of 4th grade students who participated in TIMSS 2015 in Turkey. According to the findings; 36% of variance in science achievement, and 40% of variance in mathematics achievement are due to variability between classes. In a random coefficient model, all student variables were found to be statistically significant predictors of science and mathematics achievement. Among these variables, the greatest effect… Continue Reading →

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Nevada cannot find the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) talent they need to stay competitive. Students’ lagging performance in K-12 is a critical reason why. The good news is that the nation’s ost effective STEM education programs can help turn the tide. Nevada students have made real progress in math over the past decade, though they have lost ground in recent years. Not enough students–least of all minorities–have the chance to learn challenging content to prepare them for college and careers, and few eighth-graders have teachers with an undergraduate major in math or science. Science teachers of low-income, black and Hispanic students are most likely to say they don’t have the resources they need, and their schools are most likely to lack facilities… Continue Reading →
