Teachers And Students

What does it mean to be “good-at-math,” and how is it determined? Cobb et al. (2009) defined the normative identity of mathematics classrooms as the obligations that students must meet to be considered good-at-math. Obligations are negotiated between teachers and students through series of bids. Normative identities reveal distributions of agency and authority within classrooms, which affect learning opportunities for students. Traditionally, mathematics teachers held the predominance of agency and authority in classrooms. Research supports shifting toward more equitable teaching and learning (e.g., National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2018). Clear examples of enacting and supporting changes are helpful. This article shares how sixth-grade students and their teacher co-constructed good-at-math to invite and obligate students to become active agents in mathematical argumentation.

Initial Results

Augmented reality (AR) has evolved hand in hand with advances in technology, and today is considered as an emerging technique in its own right. The aim of our study was to analyze students’ perceptions of how useful AR is in the school environment. A non-experimental quantitative design was used in the form of a questionnaire in which 106 primary sixth-grade students from six schools in the Region of Murcia (Spain) participated. During the study, a teaching proposal using AR related to the content of some curricular areas was put forward in the framework of the 3P learning model. The participants’ perceptions of this technique were analyzed according to each variable, both overall and by gender, via a questionnaire of our own making, which had previously been validated by AR experts, analyzing its psychometric qualities. The initial results indicate that this technique is, according to the students, useful for teaching the curriculum. The conclusion is that AR can increase students’ motivation and enthusiasm while enhancing teaching and learning at the same time.

Students have a different level of prose writing proficiency. Some students are already able to write a prose pretty well while some others are not. This condition is aggravated by students’ low motivation in writing. Therefore, an effective writing learning strategy is needed. In teaching and learning process, especially in a school environment, teachers play an important role so that a learning strategy serves as a tool to improve learning. The research design used was CAR – collaborating another teacher – that was set to 2 cycles. Based on the research findings of the implementation of 3M prose writing strategy in the first cycle, students who passed were by 50% of 18 students. In the second cycle, on the other hand, students who passed were about 89%. It means that there was 39% improvement from the first cycle. We can see that the implementation of 3M prose writing strategy can improve the sixth-grade students’ prose writing proficiency at SD Negeri 8 Kilensari Panarukan Situbondo Academic Year of 2014/2015.

This single site case study examined influences on student success, as perceived by twelve selected sixth grade students (ages 11-12), at a mid-West U.S. middle school (grades 6-8). Using a strengths-based positivist approach, it examined how and why participants thought they had been academically successful during their first year of secondary school. Analysis of the resulting student-centered narrative applied elements of ecological systems theory to determine home, school, and community influences on academic success. This study reinforces the importance of listening to students, recognising the role student voice can have to improve the overall teaching and learning environment.
