Elements of a Community of Learners in a Middle School Science Classroom
The idea of a learning community has gained attention as a desirable environment that could provide opportunities for students to engage in solving problems in collaboration with peers. However, definitions of a community of learners are varied, vague, and not well-developed. The goal of the research described in this study is to examine the nature of a middle school science classroom during th...
متن کاملChoosing a Sheltered Middle Path
We say that point x ∈ R2 is sheltered by a continuum S ⊂ R2 if x does not belong to the unbounded component of R2 \ S. Suppose that points a and b are the endpoints of each of three arcs A0, A1 and A2 contained in R2. We prove that there is an arc B ⊂ A0 ∪A1 ∪A2 with its endpoints a and b such that each point of B is sheltered by the union of each two of the arcs
متن کاملTest-Enhanced Learning in a Middle School Science Classroom: The Effects of Quiz Frequency and Placement
Typically, teachers use tests to evaluate students’ knowledge acquisition. In a novel experimental study, we examined whether low-stakes testing (quizzing) can be used to foster students’ learning of course content in 8th grade science classes. Students received multiple-choice quizzes (with feedback); in the quizzes, some target content that would be included on the class summative assessments...
متن کاملQuizzing in Middle-School Science: Successful Transfer Performance on Classroom Exams
We examined whether learning from quizzing arises from memorization of answers or fosters more complete understanding of the quizzed content. In middle-school science classes, we spaced three multiple-choice quizzes on content in a unit. In Experiment 1, the class exams included questions given on quizzes, transfer questions targeting the same content, and content that had not been quizzed (con...
متن کاملTranslational Science of Cognitive Science in Middle School Science Curricula
There have often been complaints about the lack of implementation of basic research findings from cognitive science into curricula. We are conducting a large research study to examine whether systematic modification of middle school science curricula using general cognitive science principles can significantly improve student learning in large urban school districts. A team of cognitive scienti...
