The purpose of this study was to see how well an elementary teacher intern was able to help her students see both the differences between language arts, science and social studies, and connections among them, using an action research design, including student interviews, observer logs, journal notes, students' ‘connection’ journals, student work, and her record and planning book as data sources. She designed and delivered an interdisciplinary language arts, science and social studies curriculum that focused on electricity. She found that students were finally able to see the interdisciplinary natures of language arts and science, and language arts and social studies, but did not see connections between science and social studies. Implications include making explicit disciplinary instruction, as well as connections between the disciplines. 相似文献

This study examined the predictive nature of teacher ratings of student performance on the mathematical thinking and language and literacy domains of a state mandated curriculum-embedded performance assessment for children in first grade to student achievement on a criterion-referenced test in third grade in mathematics and English language arts, using a multilevel modeling approach. The sample included 1,281 elementary school children nested within 132 classrooms in an urban school district in South Carolina. Results showed positive associations between first grade teacher ratings and students’ third grade achievement. However, first grade teacher ratings were not found to uniquely contribute to the proportion of explained variance in third grade performance on a high-stakes statewide assessment, over and above student demographic variables. 相似文献

This paper is a report of a study that examines the relationship between teacher participation in a multi-year, K–6 professional
development effort and the “high stakes” science test scores of different student groups in 33 rural mid-west school districts
in the USA. The professional development program involved 1,269 elementary school teachers and utilized regional summer workshops
and distance delivery technologies to help the teachers learn science concepts, inquiry teaching strategies, and how to adapt science inquiry lessons to teach and reinforce skills in the language arts. Regression analyses revealed a significant positive
relationship between the professional development hours experienced by teachers and student gains on high stakes test scores.
But the analyses also suggest that primary grade teachers need less professional development than upper grade teachers on
instructional strategies where the focus is on the integration of language arts and science inquiry. The implications for
funding and implementing professional development projects are discussed. 相似文献

The term"student learning outcomes"refers to the knowledge, skills, and abilitiesthat students achieve during a course, and is typically assessed based on student evaluations conducted at the end of the semester. Previous studies in this area have investigated the effects of instructional quality and academic demands separately and have been limited primarily to examining findings using student samples fromthe United States. With Japanese college students' perceptions of self-improvementin English language courses as the dependent variable, the present study directly tests the hypothesis that students who perceive instructional quality to be higher, andcourse demands to be greater, also estimate higher levels of self-improvement in English language skills. The analysis provides strong support for this hypothesis.Higher ratings of instruction and academic demands have already beenshown to increase levels of student learning(Greimel-Fuhrmann and Geyer 2003;Nois and Hudson 2006; Mc Fadden and Dart 1992). The present study is the first toprovide direct evidence of the relative importance of student evaluations ofinstructional quality and academic demands as predictors of student learning and thefirst ever to do so with a sample of Japanese college students enrolled in a required English as a foreign language course. Our hypothesis is that Japanese students whoperceive instructional quality to be higher, and course demands to be greater,estimate higher levels of self-improvement in English language skills. Thus we test Japanese students' attitudes toward instructional quality and course demands asindependent variables predicting their perceptions of self-improvement in English language courses. The research focuses on Japanese students' improvement in English language skills because English education in Japan is an arena in which thedebate over limited English proficiency rages on, and because other research suggests reconsideration of English education in light of the demands of the rapidly expanding global era(Amaki 2008). 相似文献

This article reports on the interrater reliability of language arts portfolio assessment in the primary grades of the Rochester, New York, school system. This assessment was based on a sample of approximately 400 primary-grade language arts portfolios that were rated by two raters: the student's classroom teacher and an external reviewer. Reliabilities for student portfolios ranged from .58 for Grade 1 reading portfolios to .79 for kindergarten reading portfolios. Many of the reading portfolios could not be rated by the external reviewer, revealing problems both with the portfolio policies of the district and with the classroom-level implementation. The findings showed that primary-grade classroom teachers can reliably rate their own students' work, but tensions exist if a single portfolio system is intended both to provide classroom teachers with information about their students and to supply accountability information to administrators. 相似文献

This study aims to investigate how learning-relevant cognitive and motivational-affective characteristics, such as pre-knowledge and interest, are intrapersonally connected within students. This person-centered research thereby adds to prior findings by simultaneously analyzing student profiles in the domains of mathematics and German language arts on all school tracks within the German secondary school system. In a subsample of the German National Educational Panel Study involving 10,025 ninth-grade students, a latent profile analysis is conducted to identify student profiles. The results reveal five student profiles in German language arts (strong, struggling [motivation], struggling [cognitive], over,- underestimating) and five student profiles in mathematics (strong, struggling, over,- underestimating, average-uninterested). One of the student profiles, the underestimating student profile, is found most frequently in both domains (Ø32%). Students from higher school tracks, and especially females, are most often allocated to an underestimating profile in both domains. Lastly, the results indicate domain-specific student profiles. 相似文献

高校美术学专业大量扩招，生源的专业水准整体呈下降趋势，且参差不齐，加之高校多年来沿习的基础素描教学体系，以“一致”的标准要求学生，既不适应现代美术发展需要，又导致部分学生丧失学习兴趣，且创造性思维得不到应有的发展。因此，在基础素描教学中，应切实围绕艺术素质教育开展教学，努力创设良好的教学环境，充分发挥学生的艺术潜质，培养学生的个性，使他们不断积累基础素描的知识和技能，学有所长。 相似文献

This study explored the role of student (e.g., age, language background, gender), home (e.g., parent/caregiver education), and school (e.g., school type, size) socio-demographic factors in students’ school (e.g., in-school arts tuition, arts engagement), home (e.g., parent/caregiver–child arts interaction), and community (e.g., arts attendance, arts tuition) arts participation. The sample comprised 1172 elementary and secondary school students from 15 schools. Findings revealed that student and home socio-demographic factors were the most salient in predicting arts participation across school, home, and community contexts. Age, gender, and prior achievement were the key student socio-demographic factors, while parent/caregiver education and occupation were also associated with students’ arts participation. Implications for practice and intervention pertinent to young people’s arts participation are discussed. 相似文献

A longitudinal study has been conducted to explore the impact of a new language policy for Hong Kong secondary schools on
science learning. According to this policy, only schools that recruit the best 25% of students can teach science in English,
the students' second language, while the other schools have to teach science in Chinese, the students' native language. The
study involved a student cohort of 100 schools starting from S1 for three years. The outcome of science learning is conceptualized
as consisting of students' achievement and self-concept in science. This paper reports the possible effects of English-medium
instruction (EMI) and Chinese-medium instruction (CMI) on students' self-concept in science, as measured by students' responses
to a questionnaire. Comparing with the CMI students, the EMI students showed higher self-concepts in Chinese, English and
Mathematics, but a lower self-concept in science. This finding suggests that the EMI students might experience greater learning
problems in science than in other subjects, probably because science learning involves abstract thinking and the mastery of
scientific terminology which make a high demand on language proficiency. The EMI students showed a greater interest in learning
science than the CMI students, indicating that they were more academically oriented. The EMI students, however, formed a lower
perceived self-competence in science than their CMI peers, despite that they performed better in the science achievement test
than many of the CMI students. This perception supports the view that using English for instruction may have negative effects
on science learning. It is also consistent with the observation that the EMI students perceived science as more difficult
to understand and learn than the CMI students. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: Providing effective food safety education to young consumers is a national health priority to combat the nearly 76 million cases of foodborne illness in the United States annually. With the tremendous pressures on teachers for accountability in core subject areas, the focus of classrooms is on covering concepts that are tested on state performance examinations. As a result, topics such as food safety are rarely addressed in middle school classrooms. Middle school is an ideal time to teach food safety because adolescents are in the process of setting lifelong behaviors; therefore, they are more likely to synthesize new food safety knowledge in a way that will lead to the development of lifelong behaviors. The purpose of this study was to scientifically validate an educational resource that provides a method for classroom teachers to involve young consumers in food safety education while meeting state content area curriculum standards. An interdisciplinary curriculum targeted at middle school students and correlated directly to state content standards was designed to include highly effective instructional strategies that teach food safety concepts through all core subject classes (science, math, social studies, and language arts). The curriculum was pilot tested in 5 schools using a pretest, posttest, and follow-up test assessment model. The results showed that the curriculum was highly effective at raising student knowledge (21% gain) and improving students' food handling behaviors (8.47% gain) from pretests to posttests. In addition, 6 wk after implementation, students retained 86% of their total knowledge gain as measured by a follow-up assessment. 相似文献

本研究以45名学生为研究对象,对比研究教师给出评语、同学互相给出评语和英语专业高年级学生给出评语对二语写作的影响。实验结果表明三种语语对提高学生语法的应用能力和内容写作水平无积极作用。原因为这三种方法各有利弊;传统的“一次性”写作不要求学生重写作文,导致学生对评语不重视;同时,这三种评语对学生注意并未产生较大影响。本研究提出了给出评语的新模式。 相似文献

This article is an account of a pilot project designed to help art & design teachers in training use their particular strengths to report on classroom observation through visual art. The project is underpinned by the notion that the arts provide a particular way of knowing and that teaching should be student‐centred. I argue that if the arts can be seen to be a particular way through which we can understand the world then they can be used as both a pedagogical tool and possibly a vehicle for collecting data and reporting research. A group of 19 student teachers of art & design were given tasks which involved reporting on their school placement experience via a visual art form rather than through a text‐based form such as writing. The resulting images were discussed in a seminar and a sub‐group of three students was purposely selected for interviews. It was found overall, the students valued the approach taken and that they gained valuable insights into their professional placements through adopting an art‐based approach to educational research. As a result, I advocate in this article a greater use of arts‐based approaches to research which explores educational experience, not only in the arts, but in all areas of teaching and learning. 相似文献

ABSTRACTForty-five classroom teachers participated in a study designed to investigate the influence of a student’s individual psychological test performance (learning disabled [LD] vs. normal) and the achievement level of the child’s school (below average, average, above average) on their special education classification decisions. The achievement level of the school did not influence the teachers’ decisions to identify a child as handicapped. The student’s psychological test information did. For the LD case study, the teachers were more likely to have lower academic expectations and to diagnose the child as LD. In contrast to the findings of other studies, teachers were not likely to diagnose the normal case study child as handicapped. In short, these teachers did not ignore individual psychological information but rather utilized the information appropriately in their decision making. 相似文献

The Thinking with Data project (TWD) expands on current notions of data literacy by (1) focusing on proportional reasoning as key to data literacy and (2) leveraging the non-mathematics disciplines to engage students in deep thinking about the context of data and the application of proportionality. A set of four 2-week, sequential modules for cross-disciplinary implementation in seventh-grade classrooms was designed and evaluated. Using a quasi-experimental approach, we found that student data literacy was increased through the focused integration of social studies, mathematics, science, and English language arts. In this article, we describe our theoretical approach to designing and implementing the modules, report on student learning gains in mathematics, and describe teacher reactions to the materials. In sum, our study provides evidence that the TWD approach has the potential to build data literacy while also allowing students to learn core discipline-based content standards. 相似文献
