Eric.ed.gov – Vital Signs: Nebraska

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 – Vital Signs: Wisconsin

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

Eric.ed.gov – Secondary School Mathematics Student Teachers’ Causal Attribution for Success and Failure in Mathematics

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Attribution theory deals with the question of how individuals make judgments and seek to explain how they consider the causes of their behaviours and those of others. Attributions have the potential to affect beliefs, emotions and behaviour. Therefore, attribution theory has significantly contributed to the studies on motivation. This study examined student teachers’ causal attributions for success and failure in mathematics. The participants in this study were 28 student teachers in the department of secondary school mathematics education at a public university in the north of Turkey. To collect data, a questionnaire composed of one open-ended question was administered to the student teachers and they were asked to write their opinion about the causes of a student’s failure and success in mathematics. Student teachers wrote and submitted… Continue Reading

Eric.ed.gov – Vital Signs: Massachusetts

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

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
