Mathematical Word Problems

Many elementary students face difficulties in solving word-based, mathematical problems. This study explores using the reciprocal teaching instructional strategy for word-based, mathematical problems at the elementary level. We used a quasiexperimental research design for this study to address the reciprocal teaching environment design, implementation, and evaluation at elementary level mathematics education. Two sixth grade model classes, A & B, of a public secondary school from the district of Okara, Punjab, Pakistan, were selected for this study. Reciprocal teaching for mathematics appears to be an essential strategy for nurturing a more in-depth understanding of the text of mathematical word problems at the elementary level. This instructional approach could enhance an extraordinary level of skill in critical thinking, reasoning, and understanding.

ABSTRACT:In this paper we present the results of a research carried out with students of 1st grade of Compulsory Secondary Education in which we study if the use of tasks that involve the invention and reconstruction of mathematical problems develops their creativity. The study sample was made up of 104 students of a public secondary school. The design of the research was quasi-experimental comparative with two experimental groups and two control groups. The selection of students and groups was aleatory. It is accentuated the characteristic prestest-postest in the design because pupils belonged to two states of control. The instrument used to measure creativity was the test CREA. The results obtained show that if invention and reconstruction of mathematical problems is used with students of 1st grade of Compulsory Secondary Education, then their creativity develops.RESUMEN:En este artículo presentamos los resultados de una investigación llevada a cabo con alumnos de 1º de Educa-ción Secundaria Obligatoria en la que estudiamos si el uso en el aula de tareas que involucren la invención y recons-trucción de problemas matemáticos desarrolla su creatividad. La muestra estuvo formada por 104 alumnos de un institu-to de titularidad pública. El diseño de la investigación fue cuasi-experimental comparativo con dos grupos experimentales y dos grupos control. La selección de los alumnos y de los grupos fue aleatoria. Al pertenecer los sujetos a dos estados de control, se subraya en el diseño la característica pretest-postest. El instrumento utilizado para medir la creatividad fue el test CREA. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que si se utiliza la invención y reconstrucción de pro-blemas matemáticos con alumnos de 1º de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, entonces se desarrolla la creatividad de estos alumnos. Contacto principal: [email protected]

Problem Solving Behavior

There are a number of behaviors or heuristics that can be identified as important or useful for solving mathematical problems. The study compared three instructional strategies for promoting the selected behaviors of drawing a diagram, approximating and verifying, constructing an algebraic equation, classifying data, and constructing a chart. The experimental setting was six mathematics classes (N=133) across three grade levels (9, 10, 11) at a private high school in Iowa. The research design was a one-factor, randomized complete block with mathematics classes as a blocking variable. Each of the instructional strategies involved working on a problem, but with variations in the placement of, and emphasis on, an implied problem-solving behavior. One instructional strategy involved only exposure to problems while the other two involved an instructional phase. The results indicated that the subjects given instruction on specific behaviors were more likely to exhibit and make effective use of the problem-solving behaviors in new problem situations.

AbstractThis study investigates the effectiveness of the reflection-based reciprocal teaching (RBRT) approach for Myanmar upper secondary school students’ reading comprehension in English. In the RBRT approach, the main frame is based on the reflective teaching model for reading comprehension (Oo and Habók in Int Electron J Elementary Educ 13(1):127–138, 2020), in which the reciprocal teaching method (involving questioning, clarifying, summarizing, and predicting) was applied. This study used cluster randomized trials. Two groups participated in the research: the experimental group, who were taught with the RBRT approach, and the control group, who were taught with traditional methods. Results showed that the RBRT approach has a strong effect on students’ English reading comprehension achievement. The experimental group increased its achievement on the posttest significantly, and the students’ results showed high effect size. It was also found that teachers’ reflection on the instructional context had a considerable impact on raising students’ reading comprehension achievement. The RBRT approach can be successfully applied in the classroom environment to develop students’ reading comprehension in English in Myanmar.

This is a descriptive study which determined and analyzed the quality management practices of public secondary school heads. The study included the school heads and teachers in all Schools Division in Pangasinan. The identified quality management practicesare based on the parameters of APPES Manual. Kendall’s tau correlation coefficient was utilized to identify the significant relationship in the quality management practices of public secondary school heads to the performance of their respective schools. The researcher used questionnaire, interview and google form to gather the needed data. Same set of questionnaire was utilized for the teachers and school heads as respondents of this study. Findings of the study revealed that stakeholders were truly a great agent in improving the public secondary schools. Therefore, school heads must be eager to do this to have a strong partnership and participation of the stakeholders in the school. They contribute a lot for the direction leading to greater learning outcomes. Also, it was found out that weak correlation was hardly related to the quality management practices of the school heads with regard to the performance of their respective schools. Further, a proposed plan of action with regard to the indicators that were found out moderate would be presented to public secondary schools for them to better identify the risk and opportunities so to attain and maintain quality management practices of school heads and school perfomance in the Department of Education.

The purpose of this study was to determine the validity of KCPE as a predictor of KCSE scores among public secondary school students in Kisii central Sub-county, Kenya. This study was guided by a conceptual framework where KCPE was the independent variable and KCSE the dependent variable. It adopted Correlational and Ex-post-facto research designs. The study population was 3,897 KCSE candidates from 55 public secondary schools. Stratified random sampling based on school type and size was used to select 16 public secondary schools for the study. Saturated sampling was employed to include all KCSE candidates whose KCPE marks were available in each sampled school, yielding a sample of 1,391 students.  Data used included 2006 KCPE scores and 2010 KCSE scores of the same students under study. Data was collected using a researcher made pro forma. It was analyzed quantitatively using correlations and regression analyses. Results showed a strong positive Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r=0.693; n=1391; p < 0.05) between KCPE and KCSE scores. It recommended that; KCPE should continue to be used as selection tool for secondary school admission and school evaluation using KCSE examination scores should be based on students’ past KCPE scores.

Brain Based Learning

When educational neuroscience emerged in the latter decade of the 20th century, it completely transformed the area of education and presented a slew of new difficulties to educators, scholars, and intellectuals. The study's goals were to 1) ascertain secondary school students' conceptions about brain-based learning 2) assess students' awareness of neurotheological practices. It was a descriptive study, and the study sample consisted of all public secondary school students, and250 students were chosen at random from the study population. The researchers developed a questionnaire after reading relevant literature. The study indicated that emotions influence decision-making, fostering creativity and uniqueness, so it concluded that a suitable classroom/institution environment makes students feel like active learners. The study may suggest that teachers create a favorable learning environment for better learning, and it may also recommend that students offer prayer five times daily to relax their brains and improve learning and creativity.
