Students are intellectually engaged in learning by reasoning, predicting, evaluating, concluding, and solving problems, skills that are fundamental for life-long learning. Other key strategies include: • A relentless focus on the California mathematics content Size: KB.

Improving learning. Cognitive science has taught us a lot about how humans learn. Now computer-based learning programs are putting those principles into action and improving student gains. By Arthur C. Graesser. July/AugustNo. Print version: page NCSM Position Papers: Improving Student Achievement Series.

NCSM Position Papers are designed to provide NCSM members with support regarding critical actions that lead to improved student achievement in mathematics. The papers are a product of the collaborative efforts of many individuals who offered their writing, editing and critiquing skills.

The PLC+ Playbook, Grades K A Hands-On Guide to Collectively Improving Student Learning setting is designed to equip professional learning community teams with the tools they need to work effectively toward improving student learning.

4 Crosscutting themes from the PLC+ book provide cohesion and focus throughout the work. The underlying theme of this book illustrates how constructivist ideas can be used by science and mathematics educators for research and the further improvement of educational practice.

Authors from various parts of the world describe their work investigating students' conceptions, improving teaching and curricula, and enhancing teacher education in science and mathematics by: Improving student learning when budgets are tight Thousand Oaks, CA all with a negative impact on student learning.

This book is intended to show pathways through this current fiscal mess by linking what is known about improving schools and student performance to more effective and efficient resource-use practices.

mathematics, science. This report describes a program for increasing students' learning in mathematics and science through the integration of visual art. The targeted population consisted of 30 fourth grade students from a middle class neighborhood located in a large suburban Midwestern city.

The problem for the intervention was documented in math and science report card grades from the previous year and in the Cited by: 6.

Improving Mathematics Teaching. If we want to improve student learning, we must find a way to improve teaching in the average classroom.

It was conducted as a component of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), under the auspices of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement.

Teaching and learning mathematics are complex effect on student learning of changing a single teaching practice may be difficult to discern because of the simultaneous effects of both the other teaching activities that surround it and the context in which the teaching takes place.

Thus, as teachers seek to improve their teaching.

Content Matters. This important book offers an authoritative guide for improving teaching, learning, and literacy in content area classrooms. Edited by two experts on the topic, Content Matters introduces teachers to the Disciplinary Literacy instructional framework developed by the famed Institute for Learning at the University of Pittsburgh.

Grounded in the Principles of Learning that were Cited by:   Strategies for Increasing Student Motivation in Math 1. Call attention to a void in students’ knowledge: Revealing to students a gap in their understanding capitalizes on their desire to learn more.

For instance, you may present a few simple exercises involving familiar situations, followed by exercises involving unfamiliar situations on the same : Alfred Posamentier.

Learning conditions include aspects of the learning environment in which the technique is implemented, such as whether a student studies alone or with a group. Student characteristics include variables such as age, ability, and level of prior knowledge.

Materials vary from simple concepts to mathematical problems to complicated science by: Designing Professional Development for Teachers of Science and Mathematics, coauthored by WestEd’s Susan Mundry and Katherine Stiles with other colleagues in the field, is one of the most widely cited resources in professional learning for mathematics and science educators.

For several years it has remained a highly regarded reference for improving professional practice and student achievement. She designs and leads science and mathematics education program evaluation projects at the school, district, state, and national level, focusing on assessing the quality of professional development, and the relationship between teachers’ conceptual learning, changes in practice, and student : SAGE Publications.

Further, process-oriented feedback (i.e., individualized comments about a student’s confidence, strengths, and weaknesses) is more helpful than grade-oriented feedback (i.e., assigning a score, based on student performance compared to a reference group) for improving both mathematics achievement and interest in 9th grade students (Harks Cited by:.
