Tracking: Investigating the Positives and Negatives
This document discusses the positives and negatives of tracking students by ability level in schools. It summarizes several studies that have investigated the impact of tracking on student achievement and teacher motivation. One study in Kenya found that tracking improved test scores and teacher attendance, while a Massachusetts study found slightly more advanced students in tracked math programs. However, other research has shown tracking may negatively impact the self-esteem of lower-tracked students and not provide benefits to higher-achieving students. Overall, the document concludes that both tracking and detracking systems have benefits and disadvantages, and more research is still needed.
Feminism
Feminist perspectives focus on exposing gender inequalities in education. From a feminist viewpoint, education has maintained gender inequality by using gendered language, presenting traditional gender roles and stereotypes in textbooks and curriculum, and discriminating against girls in subject choice, exams, and encouragement for further education. While research and feminist perspectives have revealed these issues and led to changes reducing sexism, ongoing issues include the "hidden" presence of women in history and some subjects seen as masculine, as well as current concerns about boys' underachievement.
11+ Selection
This document discusses the benefits of identifying high-achieving students early through testing and placing them in separate programs, such as providing intellectual challenges, opportunities to work with other high achievers, and avoiding being held back by lower-ability peers. However, it also notes some potential downsides such as missing late developers, wealthier families having an advantage in coaching their children, and stigma for children who do not pass tests.
Culture, Socialization, and Children's EF
The document discusses a study that examined the relationship between parenting behaviors, culture, and children's executive functioning (EF). The study found that Chinese children had higher EF than US children. While there were no cultural differences in supportive parenting reactions, Chinese mothers reported more unsupportive reactions but less distress reactions. Maternal distress reactions were negatively correlated with EF for US children only. The relationship between parenting and EF was not significant for Chinese children. The findings suggest culture plays a role in the development of EF and the impact of parenting behaviors on EF.
9 Pre-School Perry Project
The HighScope Perry Preschool Study was a landmark study started in 1962 that provided high-quality preschool to 123 African American children living in poverty who were at risk of school failure. The children were randomly assigned to a program group that received preschool or a control group that did not. Assessments found that by age 40, those who had preschool were more likely to hold a job, earn more money, commit fewer crimes, and graduate from high school than those who did not receive preschool. The study demonstrated long-term benefits of high-quality early education for at-risk children.
Ethical challenges in research on the well-being of children and young people
A presentation by Virginia Morrow on the ethical challenges in the context of multi-national research
on the well-being of children and young people, given
to the International and Interdisciplinary Conference, Exploring the Global Well-Being of Children and Youth on 9 July 2015 at the Technische Universität Berlin, Germany
Rutgers power point
This article examines the associations between classroom quality, the percentage of children with special needs in a classroom, and child outcomes in Head Start programs. The study used four instruments to measure classroom quality, social behavior, pre-literacy skills, and family experiences. Hierarchical linear modeling found that most variance in child outcomes was within classrooms. Children from higher quality homes scored higher, while children with special needs scored lower. Children in higher quality classrooms and with a higher percentage of special needs peers had better academic outcomes.
Collect (Hinkley RD)
This study examined differences in collectivist and individualist learning styles between middle school students in China and the United States. 200 students aged 12-13 from China and the US participated. Students took a math test either individually or collectively. The Chinese students outperformed American students on both tests, suggesting that China's more collectivist upbringing has positive effects on academics. Limitations included the populations studied not being fully representative and sample size being small. Future studies could address these issues and compare learning styles across different Asian cultures. The findings indicate culture influences learning and collective learning may benefit students in the US.

Savy stats project Revised again :)
The document discusses a longitudinal study from 2010-2011 that assessed reading, mathematics, and science skills of kindergarteners. It notes that older kindergarteners scored higher on math tests than younger ones, and females typically scored higher than males on reading assessments. The presenter hypothesizes that children in kindergarten will score higher on assessments than those not in kindergarten, demonstrating the importance of kindergarten. A proposed research method would compare assessment results of 100 same-age children who either attended kindergarten or did not.
Teaching with Poverty (The Impact and Strategies) (July 2013)
The document discusses the impact of poverty on classrooms and strategies for overcoming challenges related to poverty. It notes that poverty affects student motivation, behavior, and parental involvement. However, teachers can build relationships with students, create a stable classroom environment, and encourage growth mindsets. Specific strategies include developing vocabulary through varied materials, opportunities to read, and building oral language skills. The goal is to engage students and provide support through challenges related to their economic situations.

Research setting: education
This document discusses research methods in the context of education. It outlines 5 key areas of research: pupils, teachers, parents, classrooms, and schools. For each area, it identifies advantages and disadvantages of different research methods. Power dynamics and issues of consent are important considerations. For pupils, interviews may be intimidating while group interviews allow peer support. Teachers are accustomed to observation but may perform for researchers. Classrooms have clear roles that could influence responses. Schools have hierarchies and responsibilities that may impact participation.
Piaget theory of Cognitive Development
Explains on Piaget's point of views on schema, process of construction of schema and stages of cognitive development.
Factors That Affect Attainment In Schools
These small-scale studies examine what occurs in classrooms from the perspective of both pupils and teachers. Researchers found that non-academic factors like speech, dress, and personality influence how teachers evaluate pupils, creating stereotypes. Setting students into bands or streams based on perceived ability can also lead to self-fulfilling prophecies, as students behave according to the labels they are given by teachers. Some studies also looked at how low-achieving boys form their own counter-culture that rejects academic success in favor of breaking rules and disruptive behavior.
James Beane
James Beane is a professor and advocate for integrated curriculum. He developed a 10-stage process for developing integrated curriculum based on student questions and interests. The process starts with students generating personal and world questions, then grouping and identifying common themes among the questions. Students then plan units and activities around the selected themes to encourage cross-curricular learning through student voice and cooperation. Beane's approach aims to make education more holistic and socially meaningful for students.
Psychological development in middle childhood
Children's sense of self develops during middle childhood. Their self-concept and self-esteem change as they evaluate their competencies compared to peers. Children also develop greater self-control over impulses as their ability to delay gratification increases. Peer influence also grows in importance. Schools play an important role in development, though television exposure exceeds time spent in other activities, and viewing violence can impact how children view conflict resolution. Family stress like divorce, abuse, or neglect can also differently affect children based on their sex, age, and temperament.

L.p. # 1 early childhood
Early childhood education is important for children's social, physical, cognitive, and emotional development. International organizations like UNESCO and UNICEF promote quality early childhood programs. Research shows children learn best through playful approaches that develop oral language and transversal skills, rather than traditional formal education. Effective early childhood programs consider developmental psychology principles, provide stimulating physical environments, and assess multiple aspects of child development.

Peebles-3D Symposium-03 Mar 2016
Fast, affordable seismic tools are enabling more widespread use of seismic data for ongoing development operations. Seismic attributes can serve as proxies for reservoir characteristics that influence productivity, such as natural fractures. New approaches like Well Productivity Analysis and modular seismic acquisition aim to leverage seismic data to predict production and identify opportunities for infill drilling, refracting, and improved completions - making seismic a standard operational tool.

The document summarizes a study exploring the experiences of principals in South Central Texas whose schools have student populations that are at least 90% minority, at least 90% on free or reduced lunch, and achieve passing rates of 90% or higher on standardized tests. The study found that these "90/90/90" principals provide stable leadership over time by increasing support structures, enhancing trust, and emphasizing relationships while reducing threats to school success. Key themes that emerged included the importance of principal longevity, building trust and relationships, and addressing the needs of the whole child and community.

Building Knowledge of Students to Build Teacher Empathy
2015 presentation at the Raising the Bar summit. Addresses teacher knowledge and empathy as part of a strategy to improve academic performance and reduce suspensions.
Achievement Gaps In Education: Findings of Different Ethnic Groups
The document discusses factors that contribute to achievement gaps between different ethnic groups. It finds that black and Hispanic students change schools more often than white students, which can negatively impact literacy rates. Students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and urban environments face greater psychological and physical barriers. Implementing learner-centered programs in schools has been shown to increase achievement scores and develop skills like self-efficacy. To close achievement gaps, teachers must raise students' self-concepts and support is needed from the government and society beyond just within schools.
Designing student feedback
This document discusses using social psychology to reduce inequality in classrooms. It describes how stereotype threat, the fear of confirming a negative stereotype about one's social group, can undermine the performance, motivation, and health of students from diverse groups. Research studies are presented that show how subtle cues in test instructions or environmental cues can trigger stereotype threat and negatively impact performance for groups like women in math. The author discusses field experiments conducted with educators to design interventions aimed at reducing racial and gender achievement gaps by altering the psychological climate to lessen stereotype threat. The impacts of stereotype threat are shown to extend beyond just performance to areas like health, leadership, and neurological functioning. Addressing stereotype threat is presented as a way to
Asampson1 multimedia
The document discusses the debate around single-sex versus coeducational schooling. It notes that single-sex education is on the rise in the U.S. since 2002 and that boys and girls learn differently due to biological brain differences. The pros of single-sex schooling include increased focus, fewer behavior issues, higher test scores and confidence. However, critics argue it could increase gender stereotyping, though research shows it breaks down stereotypes by allowing students to explore more subjects. In conclusion, giving parents the option to choose may be best as not all students thrive in the same environment.
Age And Gender Differences In Adolescents Homework Experiences
This study examines age and gender differences in adolescents' subjective experiences of doing homework. The study analyzed existing data collected through an Experience Sampling Method to describe how middle and high school students spend their time on homework, their location when doing homework, who they do homework with, and their reported concentration, effort, interest, affect, and stress levels during homework. The study found some key differences: 1) Middle school students reported more positive experiences when doing homework with others or outside the home, while high school students felt better doing homework alone at home; 2) Girls reported more stress than boys when working alone, and less stress with friends, and high school girls felt less interest than middle school boys alone; 3) Context made a difference
Negative effects of neo segregation
This document summarizes a study on the negative effects of neo-segregation in public schools in Western Kentucky. The study used qualitative interviews to understand students' perceptions of how neo-segregation through geographic segregation and zoning laws impacted their academic, social, and emotional experiences. Over half of interviewed students believed neo-segregation had negative effects, citing a preference for diverse student bodies. The results imply neo-segregation is negatively impacting students and is a widespread issue needing further research with a standardized data collection tool.
Exploring controversial issues in elementary social studies
Controversial issue discussion in early grades can increase student engagement and provide an authentic and engaging springboard to relevant individual, community, and societal issues. Elementary students who engage in controversial discussion will have exposure to different and sometimes conflicting perspectives, and learn how to carefully evaluate legitimate alternatives, participate respectfully in group discussions, and ultimately decide the best course of action. This paper examines the utilization of controversial discussion surrounding concepts of distributive justice and procedural justice and how they can be explored in elementary classrooms. The authors outline two lesson plans containing discussion on controversial topics within the realm of procedural justice, which have been employed in one of the authors’ third grade classrooms. They find that providing opportunities for students to go through the process of moral negotiation allows them to question and shape their own beliefs in a constructive manner.
Test Anxiety
This document discusses test anxiety and its effects on students. It provides statistics showing that between 25-40% of students experience debilitating stress from testing. Test anxiety can have mild effects like rapid heart rate or moderate effects like crying or illness. For some students, it can be extreme and comorbid with disorders. The document offers tips for students, parents, teachers, and schools to help reduce test anxiety, including relaxation techniques and emphasizing long-term learning over test results. Overall, it examines test anxiety as a serious issue but says evaluation is part of life and students need to learn positive ways to address it.

This document discusses strategies to help girls be more successful in math. It outlines stereotypes that girls face, such as the beliefs that they are not as good at math as boys. Research presented found that merely thinking about negative stereotypes can cause lower performance, known as stereotype threat. The document recommends fostering a growth mindset in students where they believe their abilities can improve with effort rather than being fixed. It suggests strategies like collaborative work, emphasizing learning from mistakes, and changing the way teachers communicate about math abilities. The overall goals are teaching students that math is a skill that can be learned and fostering a growth mindset.

URAP- Gender differences by SES-draft 2
This document summarizes a study that examined relationships between socioeconomic status, gender, and self-regulation in 408 preschool children. The study found that (1) children from low-income backgrounds in Head Start programs displayed significantly lower self-regulation than children not in Head Start, and (2) the gender gap in self-regulation favoring girls was significantly larger for children not in Head Start compared to those in Head Start.
Family Involvement and its effects on all acedemic learners.
This study examined the relationship between family involvement and student achievement, including gifted students. The researcher held family workshops to inform parents on helping with schoolwork and implemented a "TIPS" homework program. Surveys found that families enjoyed the workshops and homework helped some students academically. While "TIPS" homework showed growth, standardized test results were mixed, with some but not all students and classes showing growth. The study was limited by participant characteristics and measurement tools. Further research on different grades and assessments was recommended.
Millennial students
Millennial students have different characteristics than previous generations that impact their experiences in occupational therapy classrooms and fieldwork settings. This literature review explores the traits of Millennial students and how occupational therapy educators can help them succeed. Recommendations include understanding Millennial learning styles, having clear expectations, and promoting caring student-teacher relationships. The goal is to provide an optimal educational experience for these students.
Internal factors review
This document summarizes key concepts and studies related to labeling theory in education. It discusses how teachers label students based on stereotypes, often unfairly labeling working class students. This labeling can become a self-fulfilling prophecy, as teachers treat labeled students differently, causing them to internalize labels and behave accordingly. Studies found students labeled as fast learners and given more attention did better, while working class and minority students in lower streams received less attention and opportunity. Streaming further reinforced these effects through self-fulfilling prophecies and the emergence of opposing academic and anti-school student subcultures.
Internal factors education and social class review
This document summarizes key concepts from labeling theory, including how teachers label students based on stereotypes which can become self-fulfilling prophecies. It discusses studies that found teachers gave more attention and opportunities to middle-class students, while working-class students were often negatively labeled. When students were streamed or placed in ability groups, the self-fulfilling prophecy effect was stronger, as labeled students internalized expectations of failure or success. Pupil subcultures also emerged in response to streaming, with anti-school subcultures rejecting the system and fulfilling the prophecy of failure they were labeled with.

- 13. The Marshmallow Test (the importance of delaying gratification) Source: Walter Mischel and colleagues, Stanford and Columbia Universities
- 14. The Benefits: • Children who had waited for the second marshmallow generally fared better in life. • Mischel “found that teenagers who had waited longer for the marshmallows as preschoolers were more likely to score higher on the SAT, and their parents were more likely to rate them as having a greater ability to plan, handle stress, respond to reason, exhibit self-control in frustrating situations and concentrate without becoming distracted” (APA). • 30 years later, those who had waited for the second marshmallow had a lower body mass index. • “Amazingly, the subjects’ willpower differences had largely held up over four decades. In general, children who were less successful at resisting the marshmallow all those years ago performed more poorly on the self-control task as adults” (APA). Sources: Walter Mischel, The Marshmallow Test (2014); Americal Psychological Association, Delaying Gratification (2012); What the Marshmallow Test Really Teaches About Self-Control (The Atlantic, 2014).
