Longitudinal study of low and high achievers in early mathematics.
BACKGROUND Longitudinal studies allow us to identify, which specific maths skills are weak in young children, and whether there is a continuing weakness in these areas throughout their school years. AIMS This 2-year study investigated whether certain socio-demographic variables affect early mathematical competency in children aged 5-7 years. SAMPLE A randomly selected sample of 127 students...
متن کاملMathematics Teachers’ Approaches to “Listening” in Mathematics Classes: A phenomenographic approach
The ways that mathematics teachers listen to students’ explanation, influence their understanding of students and their teaching activities. If teachers be informed about different ways of “listening” to students’ ideas and conceptions concerning mathematics, they might be able to use listening as an effective teaching method to enhance students’ mathematical learning. The related literature in...

متن کاملAttitudes to the Use of Alternative Assessment Methods in Mathematics: a Study with Secondary Mathematics Teachers in Sydney, Australia
Given issues related to differences in learner characteristics, effective sampling across the content domain, and recent emphases on assessing meaningfully contextualised abilities and higher-order cognitive processes, the ‘traditional’ mathematics test arguably does not provide a valid measure of student ability. Consequently, there is a need to incorporate alternative methods of assessment th...
متن کاملAbility Tracking and Class Mobility in High School Mathematics: The Case of Low Achievers
The goal of this paper is to evaluate commonly held criticisms of the practice of ability tracking in high school mathematics. To do so, I employ data from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 and follow-ups to model classroom selection and education production. This paper will focus only on the causes and effects of tracking on students who were tracked as low-ability in eighth gr...
