Eric.ed.gov – TTT Develops a Math Laboratory. Triple “T” Project Monograph Series, No. 2.

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: This document is a first-person account by the mathematics coordinator at Temple University dealing with the segment of the TTT (Trainers of Teacher Trainers) project held at the Reynolds Elementary School. The stated purpose of this segment was to provide on-the-job experience in the area of elementary school mathematics. The basic program procedure is described as follows: TTT clinicians tried out contemporary teaching strategies and materials while working with fifth- and sixth-grade mathematics pupils; the classroom teachers also became involved in the planning and utilization of the mathematics laboratory; during the third year the mathematics laboratory moved to larger quarters, and the emphasis changed from assisting pupils to assisting teachers. The author defines the centralized mathematics laboratory which was used in this project as a room separate… Continue Reading

Eric.ed.gov – Evaluation of the Computer and Team Assisted Mathematical Acceleration (CATAMA) Lab for Urban, High-Poverty, High Minority Middle Grade Students. Final Report to the Institute of Education Sciences

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: This project entailed a three-year efficacy evaluation of the Computer and Team Assisted Mathematical Acceleration (CATAMA) Lab developed by the Center for Social Organization of Schools at Johns Hopkins University. The CATAMA Lab was proposed as an immediate and practical approach to addressing the different types of math deficits held by students at urban high-poverty schools. The Lab required only 1 teacher per school reducing staff and professional development requirements. It used multiple instructional techniques (including individualized computer instruction, direct instruction, pair and team learning, and individual instruction) to teach math concepts and skills. By taking the place of an elective it allowed students to continue with their on-grade math class. For a more detailed description of the Lab see Appendix 2. The original goal of the… Continue Reading

Eric.ed.gov – Evaluation of the Appalachian Regional Commission Oak Ridge National Laboratory Summer Institute for Math/Science/Technology

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: This report describes some of the key immediate and long-term outcomes achieved by the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC)-Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Summer Institute for Math/Science/Technology for student and teacher participants. This two-week summer program provides high school students and teachers from the Appalachian region the opportunity to work with mentor scientists from ORNL on inquiry-based, applied projects in science, math, and computer technology. The goals of the Summer Institute, in operation since 1990, are to (1) encourage more high school students to continue their studies beyond high school, (2) encourage more students to pursue careers in the projected shortage areas of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), and (3) raise the level of math, science, and technology instruction in high schools throughout the region to facilitate… Continue Reading
