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

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Alabama 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. 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: Recently much have been invested in the interactive whiteboard educational technology in Turkey. The government is still wishful to spread it to schools of all levels. This study tries to understand teachers’ and students’ attitudes toward interactive whiteboard technology along with differences in attitudes resulting from some demographic factors. Two parallel surveys consisting of 25 items were applied to 255 students and 23 teachers from three private schools. Students from sixth to twelfth grades and teachers from 15 different branches participated in this research study. The results indicate that interactive whiteboards are highly rated by both teachers and students. Students mostly prefer the usage of interactive whiteboards in math courses, and their attitudes differ across their genders and school levels. As students get elder, their positive attitudes… Continue Reading →

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: This article describes a teacher’s Maths lesson that focuses on numeracy in health and physical education learning area. In the lesson, the students were learning about Directed Numbers, something they often struggle with and a topic where the teacher finds it hard to explain using real life situations when using addition and subtraction. The teacher began the lesson by outlining what students were expected to achieve. The introduction also included revisiting previous work on how to convert an individual’s number of walking paces to kilometres, as well as directions for the activity that was to follow. The teacher wants to emphasise with other teachers that numeracy is not just about number and that there is great potential to address other strands of mathematics within all learning areas.… Continue Reading →

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 →

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Wyoming 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. Wyoming students have made 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. To the state’s credit, however, math and science teachers in Wyoming are more likely than teachers in other states to report that they have the resources they need, and students enjoy broader access to science labs and supplies, regardless of income. That said, the state still has far to go to… 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. Mississippi students have made real progress in math since 2003. Yet average student performance remains low, and not enough students–least of all minorities–get the chance to learn challenging content that prepares them for college and careers. Few eighth graders have teachers with an undergraduate major in math or science, and science teachers are much less likely than their peers in other states to have access to resources and equipment they need to succeed.
