Relevant Pedagogy

The purpose of this pre/post-intervention quantitative experimental study was to investigate the effects of a sequence of lessons grounded in the principles of culturally relevant pedagogy on students enrolled in a college algebra course at an HBCU. In particular, the paper focuses on the interaction between these lessons and academic achievement (students' ability to learn, process, and affinity towards the subject they are learning about) with regards to students' grades and their views about mathematics. Two classes of students, an experimental group and a control group, engaged in mathematics lessons that were grounded in rigorous mathematical teaching practices; but the experimental course received lessons that also incorporated principles of culturally relevant pedagogy. Results indicated that students in the experimental course showed significant quantitative gains on the various measures related to academic achievement and self-efficacy in mathematics.

Learning achieved by students in their first course of mathematics at the university reflects a low achievement, which is especially observed in the topic of the parabola. Due to this problem, the objective of improving the academic achievement of students in that topic, through a didactic strategy based on semiotic representations, was proposed. To this end, a quantitative inquiry was carried out, with a pre-test post-test design, on both a control group and an experimental group. There, a total of 44 students, of an average age of 19 years who were taking the subject of Mathematics Foundations, participated. It was found that the gain between the post-test and pre-test measurement was significantly higher (p<0.01) in the experimental group with respect to the control group, where the conventional strategy for the course was being used. It is concluded that it is possible to improve the learning of the parabola in students through the strategy based on semiotic representations, and that it is highly recommended to apply it for the learning of other mathematical objects in the basic sciences courses of the engineering division.

The aim of the research is to investigate whether "Teaching Mathematics for the 2nd grade of elementary school in an appropriate way for the theory of multiple intelligences on geometric subjects" has any impact on students’ academic achievement or not. The research is an experimental study and it was conducted with the students of the 2nd grade class in a primary school in Küçükçekmece province of Istanbul in 2016-2017 education year. A total of 60 students participated in the research, 30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. In the control group, while the subject "geometric objects" was taught using traditional methods, the same subject in the experimental group was taught by curriculums prepared in accordance with the Multiple Intelligence Theory. The study lasted for 4 weeks together with the applications of test development, pre-test, post-test and course work. The application was performed by researchers. The data obtained from the application were evaluated in the SPSS 22 Program. As a result of the evaluations made, it was concluded that the lesson which was taught by using the curriculums prepared according to the Multiple Intelligences Theory had a more positive effect on student achievement compared to the lesson which was taught using traditional methods.Keywords: Multiple Intelligence Theory, Mathematics, Geometry, Academic Achievement

The objective of this study is to measure the effectiveness of a program on improving inhibitory and emotional control among children. In addition, it is assessed whether the improvement of these skills has an effect on the reduction of aggressive behavior in pre-school children. The participants were 100 children, 50 belonging to the control group and 50 to the experimental group, aged between 5 and 6 years. Pre-intervention and post-intervention measures of inhibitory and emotional control (BRIEF-P) and aggression (BASC) were taken. A Generalized Linear Mixed Model analysis (GLMM) was performed and found that children in the experimental group scored higher on inhibitory and emotional control compared to their peers in the control group. In addition, these improvements have an effect on the decrease in aggressiveness. In conclusion, preventive research should have among its priorities the design of such program given their implications for psychosocial development.
