Eric.ed.gov – National Migrant Education Program Math Skills Information System.

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: The educational background and issues which shaped the design of the National Migrant Education Program Math Skills Information System are explained in this report, along with a full description of the features of the system and its operation. It discusses the variety of math skills information used to permit teachers to input and receive math skills information about migrant students in order to insure continuity of education. Discussion covers the (1) issues and factors affecting the design of the Migrant Student Record Transfer System (MSRTS) Math Skills Information System–its users, skills information needs, math skills hierarchy, continuity, “proper” math skills; (2) background and design considerations of the MSRTS Math Skills List–nature of math as a subject matter, anatomy of a math skill statement, selection of the level… Continue Reading

Eric.ed.gov – Longitudinal Effects of Teacher Use of a Computer Data System on Student Achievement

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Does data use make a difference in student achievement? Despite the field’s optimism on this matter, relatively few studies have attempted to quantify the effects of data use. These studies have often used the presence of a data use intervention (e.g., a data system or data coaching) as a proxy for use, as opposed to tracking teachers’ direct interactions with data, via data system click logs, for example. Accordingly, the present study sought to address this methodological gap by exploring the 2-year effects of data use through a multilevel cross-classified model of teachers’ system interactions and student achievement. A significant relationship was found between system use and elementary reading, but no significant relationships were found for elementary math, junior high math, or junior high reading. The implications… Continue Reading
