Elementary And Middle School

Computing has impacted almost all aspects of life, making it increasingly important for the next generation to understand how to develop and use software. Yet, a lack of research on how children learn computer science and an already impacted elementary school schedule has meant that very few children have the opportunity to learn computer science prior to high school. This chapter introduces literature on teaching computer programming to elementary and middle school, highlights three studies that span elementary and middle school, and discusses how programming can be integrated into other content areas and address national standards.

College Calculus

A supplementary calculus course was conducted to give highly able students the opportunity to learn the equivalent of two semesters of college calculus while still in high school. Two different student populations were sampled; the average age of the members of Class I was 14.9 years, whereas for members of Class II it was 16.7 years. Class I members had more previous exposure to fast-paced mathematics instruction than had members of Class II. Both classes took the College Board's AP Calculus Examination, Level BC, at the end of the course. The results of the AP examination indicated that most students learned college-level calculus well. Considerations for the establishment of similar programs are discussed.

The National Science Foundation Young Scholar Program “The Excitement of Meteorology!” successfully brought the atmospheric and related sciences to high school students in Mississippi. The four-week summer program was administered through the Jackson State University Meteorology Program in the Department of Physics, Atmospheric Sciences, and General Science and was supported by the Mississippi Science Partnership program office. This commuter program provided an opportunity to learn, study, and research the field of meteorology. Through instructional sessions, laboratories, field trips, and peer contact participants were exposed to the concepts of atmospheric motion, the development of storms, and the practical application of meteorology during a one-month period. The program was intended to help students make their own career decisions and to foster their interest in the sciences and meteorology. The goals and objectives of the program were to develop basic science skills; make participants aware of the interdisciplinary nature of meteorology; provide participants with the opportunity to see and hear the meteorologist as a researcher, teacher, and communicator; provide the information and incentive necessary for participants to choose a career in meteorology or the sciences; make participants aware of the various employment opportunities in the field; and show the moral and ethical responsibilities and importance of atmospheric science to society. Thirty sophomore and junior high school student participants (22 females and 8 males, nearly all of whom were African–American) completed the program. All were tested on their meteorological knowledge and skills gained during the program and questioned about their field and lecture experiences. They also “graded” the effectiveness of all speakers, presentations, videotapes, and laboratory sessions. Through surveys it was found that the participants' desire to pursue a science career and to go to college were increased by the program. They also indicated that the program objectives had been met and that the program had met their expectations. They were particularly pleased with the opportunity to work in a college setting and with professional scientists.

AbstractSchool principal is the important key in leading Islamic educational institutions to improve and develop to be chosen by Islamic middle-class society as a place to educate their children. This research aimed to observe the leadership model of Islamic Senior High School Principal in Yogyakarta in improving, developing, and preserving the quality of Islamic educational institutions to be chosen by Islamic middle-class society in Yogyakarta. The results in this research explained that the leadership model in Islamic Senior High School is transformational leadership. This leadership model is established through two abilities possessed. First ability is knowledgeable, which means that a school principal is knowledgeable about the organizational theories, the organizational culture, the strategic management, the leadership, and other managerial knowledges.  The wider knowledge and perspective a school principal has, the more open, flexible, inclusive, and open-minded the school principal is, to be able to manage a new knowledge. Second ability is experience, which is something that someone has encountered, undergone, endured, and borne. Experience is highly related with the ability and the will to continuously learn. The more opportunity to learn, the more experience will be achieved. The combination of knowledge and experience will establish a transformational leadership. Abstrak Kepala sekolah menjadi faktor kunci dalam membawa peningkatan dan perkembangan lembaga pendidikan Islam, sehiangga menjadi pilihan masyarakat kelas menengah Muslim untuk menyekolahkan pura putrinya. Penelitian bertujuan melihat bagaimana model kepemimpinan kepala sekolah kelas menengah muslim Yogyakarta dalam upaya meningkatkan, mengembangkan dan menjaga mutu lembaga pendidikan Islam sehingga menjadi sekolah pilihan masyarakat kelas menengah muslim di Yogyakarta. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model kepemimpinan sekolah kelas menengah muslim adalah kepemimpinan transformasional. Model kepemimpinan ini terbentuk melalui dua kemampuan yang dimiliki yaitu, pertama, penguasaan pengetahuan (knowledge) seperti teori-teori organisasi, budaya organisasi, manajemen strategic, kepemimpinan, dan pengatahuan managerial lainnya. Semakin luas pengetahuan dan wawasan seseorang pemimpin, maka semakin terbuka, fleksibel, inklusif, mudah menerima masukan (open minded), dan mampu mengolahnya menjadi pengetahuan baru. Kedua adalah pengalamannya. Pengalaman adalah sesuatu yang pernah dialami, dijalani, dirasakan, ditanggung. Pengalaman sangat berhubungan dengan kemampuan dan kesediaan untuk terus belajar. Semakin banyak belajar, maka semakin banyak pula pengalaman yang akan didapat. Penggabungan antara pengetahuan dan pengelaman inilah yang akan membentuk kepemimpinan transformasional.

This study examined the effect of 2 types of mathematics content organization on high school students' mathematics learning while taking account of curriculum implementation and student prior achievement. The study involved 2,161 students in 10 schools in 5 states. Within each school, approximately 1/2 of the students studied from an integrated curriculum (Course 1) and 1/2 studied from a subject-specific curriculum (Algebra 1). Hierarchical linear modeling with 3 levels showed that students who studied from the integrated curriculum were significantly advantaged over students who studied from a subject-specific curriculum on 3 end-of-year outcome measures: Test of Common Objectives, Problem Solving and Reasoning Test, and a standardized achievement test. Opportunity to learn and teaching experience were significant moderating factors.

School Cafeteria

In our 9th grade course in General and Commercial Mathematics the pupils have had an opportunity to “learn to do by doing.” The experiences which have arisen from the venture have made the course both profitable and enjoyable. The Glen Rock Junior High School has an enrollment of almost 300 pupils, of whom some twenty take this course in their 9th year. Much of the success of our undertaking to integrate the course with the business life of the school is due to a sympathetic and understanding principal, cooperative and friendly secretaries and the very helpful teacher in charge of the school cafeteria.
