eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Nebraska 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. Nebraska students have made some progress in math over the past decade. While student performance on national tests of math and science is generally on par with national averages, the racial and ethnic achievement gaps in the state are wider. Not enough students–least of all minorities–get the chance to learn challenging content that prepares them for college and careers. Link til kilde

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the TVAAS growth score given by the Tennessee Department of Education and the overall Tennessee Educator Assessment Model (TEAM) observation rating for teachers in grades 3 through 8. The participating county public school system for this study is located in Northeast Tennessee. Participants were teachers in the school system teaching Math, English/Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies in grades 3 through 8 in 10 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, and 2 K-8 schools. Specifically, this research examined the relationship between the TEAM observation scores and overall TVAAS growth score given to the teacher from the Tennessee Department of Education based upon yearly-standardized test scores. Research reinforced mixed views about the validity and purpose of teacher evaluation… Continue Reading →

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Wisconsin 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. Wisconsin students have made some progress in math over the past decade. Yet not enough students–least of all minorities–are getting exposed to challenging content to prepare them for college and careers. For example, few eighth graders have teachers with undergraduate majors in math or science. The good news is that those teachers are much more likely than teachers in other states to say they have the resources they need, though black students are least likely to have access to such teachers.… 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. 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: This paper presents a series of illustrative LEGO Mindstorms-based science and math activities, developed under an NSF GK-12 Fellows project, for elementary, middle, and high school grades. The activities, developed by engineering and science graduate Fellows in partnership with K-12 teachers, are grade appropriate, address pertinent learning objectives, and adhere to the science and math learning standards of New York City and State. To measure the effectiveness of the use of LEGO Mindstorms-based lab activities in science and math lessons, pre- and post-lesson assessment surveys, consisting of content and evaluation questions, were administered to all participating students. In this paper, we provide: our motivation to investigate the effectiveness of LEGO Mindstorms-based lessons; descriptions of six LEGO Mindstorms-based science and math activities and their associated assessment; statistical analysis;… 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. 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.
