eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Louisiana 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. Louisiana students have made some progress in math over the past decade. Yet not enough get the chance to learn rich and challenging content that prepares them for college and careers. Few eighth graders have teachers with an undergraduate major in math or science, and many teachers of both subjects report low parent involvement in education. What’s more, those teachers and their students are much less likely than their peers in other states to have access to resources and equipment they… Continue Reading →

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Massachusetts 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 ducation programs can help turn the tide. Massachusetts students outscore their peers in almost every other state on national tests of math and science, and they have made strong gains in math since 2003. Yet these gains have faltered in recent years, and the state’s past success masks large racial gaps in student achievement and access to opportunity. Not enough students–least of all minorities–have the chance to learn rich and challenging content that prepares them for college and careers. Math and science teachers of low-income, black and Hispanic… Continue Reading →

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Does teacher quality differ within and between countries, and how are measures of teacher quality related to instructional alignment and instructional time in mathematics? Fourth-grade classroom data from the IEA’s Trends in Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2015 revealed that although measures of teacher quality were only weakly related to one another, countries with more variation along one dimension (for example, experience) also have high variation along other dimensions (such as education, or readiness to teach math topics). Measures of teacher quality were not strong or consistent predictors of instructional alignment or time, suggesting that primary school teachers’ preparation to teach mathematics may have limited influence on classroom opportunity to learn. Crucially, in many countries, disadvantaged students have (by some measures) higher quality teachers. Teacher collaboration and… Continue Reading →

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Montana 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. Montana eighth-graders have made only halting progress in math over the past decade, but the state boasts some of the nation’s smallest racial and ethnic achievement gaps in math and science. Still, low-income students lag behind, and not enough students have the chance to learn challenging content to prepare them for college and careers. Most of the state’s eighth graders don’t have teachers with an undergraduate major in math or science. 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. Students have made progress in math over the past decade. Yet not enough students–least of all minorities–get the chance to learn challenging content that prepares them for college and careers, and the state faces some of the biggest racial and ethnic achievement gaps in the nation. Students of color are least likely to be in schools that have the resources they need in math and science, and few eighth graders of any race or ethnicity have teachers with an undergraduate major… Continue Reading →

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. Kansas students have made real progress in math over the past decade, yet not enough students–least of all minorities–get the chance to learn challenging content that prepares them for college and careers. Students of color are least likely to be in schools that have the resources they need in math and science, and few eighth graders of any race or ethnicity have teachers with an undergraduate major in math or science.

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: In an effort to identify instructional methods that might improve mathematics learning at the grade 4 level when used in a variety of educational settings under typical conditions, the REL Mid-Atlantic research team looked for promising, replicable practices that were being used broadly by teachers in U.S. schools, for which research showed promising results but had not been conducted using methodologies that can establish causal relationships. CompassLearning’s Odyssey[R] Math product met all of these criteria. Odyssey Math is a computer-based math curriculum developed by CompassLearning, Inc., to improve math learning for K-12 students. The software consists of a web-accessed series of learning activities, assessments, and math tools. These components constitute the basic framework of the software. CompassLearning professional development trainers presented the learning activities, math tools, and… Continue Reading →

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. Virginia students have already made progress in math over the past decade, yet large racial and ethnic achievement gaps persist. Not enough students in the state get the chance to learn challenging content that prepares them for college and careers. Students of color are least likely to have the least access to schools with science facilities or teachers with strong backgrounds in math and science. 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. Students in Washington State have made some progress in math over the past decade, yet too many lack opportunities to learn challenging content to prepare them for college and careers. For example, few eighth graders have any teachers with undergraduate majors in math, and an even smaller minority learns much about what engineers do. Link til kilde
