This is the eleventh of a series of annual listings of research concerned with elementary school mathematics. During the very important period of change in elementary mathematics education from 1957 to 1966 the summaries were compiled by Dr. J. Fred Weaver of the University of Wisconsin.1 We hope that this listing will prove to be as valuable as the previous ones.2

While in the elementary mathematics master's program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I became interested in the use of Web logs (blogs) as a tool to encourage online discussions. During a summer course titled Reinventing Teaching, my professor used blogs to start or continue discussions concerning various course topics. Intrigued by the depth of my classmates' responses and the freedom of thought that the process gave me as a participant, I wondered how this technological tool could be used in a third-grade classroom. I decided to implement blogs across the curriculum in almost every subject.

The ability to understand and implement calculations required for molarity and dilution computations that are routinely undertaken in the laboratory are essential skills that should be possessed by all students entering an undergraduate Life Sciences degree. However, it is increasingly recognized that the majority of these students are ill equipped to reliably carry out such calculations. There are several factors that conspire against students' understanding of this topic, with the alien concept of the mole in relation to the mass of compounds and the engineering notation required when expressing the relatively small quantities typically involved being two key examples. In this report, we highlight teaching methods delivered via revision workshops to undergraduate Life Sciences students at the University of Nottingham. Workshops were designed to 1) expose student deficiencies in basic numeracy skills and remedy these deficiencies, 2) introduce molarity and dilution calculations and illustrate their workings in a step-by-step manner, and 3) allow students to appreciate the magnitude of numbers. Preworkshop to postworkshop comparisons demonstrated a considerable improvement in students' performance, which attenuated with time. The findings of our study suggest that an ability to carry out laboratory calculations cannot be assumed in students entering Life Sciences degrees in the United Kingdom but that explicit instruction in the form of workshops improves proficiency to a level of competence that allows students to prosper in the laboratory environment.

The Impact

The article presents the results of the study of the impact of knowledge sections of elementary mathematics on the study of higher mathematics by students of Pskov State University. The analysis is based on the knowledge of the elementary mathematics sections tested on a unified state exam (USE). The most important sections of USE's monitoring materials have been identified for the study. The results of these assignments are given to school leavers who have enrolled in 2018 and 2019 at Pskov State University. The regression analysis method examined the impact of USE results on higher mathematics by students studying at the university's technical areas. The regression rate, which indicates the strength of the link between the results of higher and elementary mathematics, is about 40%. Recommendations are made for the organization of the educational process of studying higher mathematics, taking into account the low level of knowledge of school mathematics entering the first year of the university

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study examined the relationship between elementary teachers' attitudes, beliefs, knowledge, Elementary Mathematics Specialist (EMS) status, and students' opportunities to engage in justification. Guided by a theoretical framework positioning instructional practices as an outcome of psychological factors (Ernest, 1989; Wilkins, 2008), a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design (Ivankova et al., 2006) was used to structure the study. Quantitative analyses were conducted using data from Studying Teacher Expertise and Assignment in Mathematics (STEAM), a large-scale, federally funded project. Interpretable factors representing teachers' attitudes and beliefs about mathematics teaching and learning were empirically derived via exploratory factor analyses. These factors, along with data on teachers' knowledge and instructional practice, were incorporated into a factor score path analysis (Devlieger and Rosseel, 2017). An embedded single-case study (Yin, 2014) was utilized to characterize classrooms described in task-based interviews of 8 EMS-certified teachers representing High, Medium, and Low justification practices. The quantitative investigation resulted in an empirical model of direct effects of teachers' attitudes, beliefs, and EMS status, as well as indirect effects of teachers' knowledge, attitudes, and specialized training on justification practices. Qualitative analysis yieled themes regarding the object and source of challenges for students' justifications and teachers' actions to foster classroom environments for justification. Findings from quantitative and qualitative analyses were synthesized to explain how teacher-level characteristics align with observable classroom practices. Implications for future research and teacher education are offered.

Distinguishing Features

Some aspects of competency-based teacher education (CBTE), as they apply to the preparation of teachers of mathematics, are explored in this article. Essential and distinguishing features of CBTE are examined and related to the University of Georgia experience in CBTE, and some nonessential features of CBTE are identified. A “competency” and how competencies may be identified are discussed, along with the effects of a competency orientation on methods courses, student teaching, and internship experiences. Some research trends related to CBTE are also touched on. And finally, the development of a competency is described.

The fifty-second meeting of the Modern Language Associationof America was held, on the invitation of the University of Cincinnati, at Cincinnati, Ohio, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, December 30 and 31, 1935, and January 1, 1936. The Association headquarters were in the Netherland Plaza Hotel, where all meetings were held except those of Tuesday morning and afternoon. These took place at the University of Cincinnati. Registration cards at headquarters were signed by about 900, though a considerably larger number of members were in attendance. The Local Committee estimated the attendance at not less than 1400. This Committee consisted of Professor Frank W. Chandler, Chairman; Professor Edwin H. Zeydel; Professor Phillip Ogden; Mr. John J. Rowe (for the Directors); and Mr. Joseph S. Graydon (for the Alumni).

Nowadays more and more of the reductions of astronomical data are made with electronic computers. As we in Uppsala have an IBM 1620 at the University, we have taken it to our help with reductions of spectrophotometric data. Here I will briefly explain how we use it now and how we want to use it in the near future.
