Building Student Capacity for Mathematical Thinking and Reasoning: An Analysis of Mathematical Tasks Used in Reform ClassroomsAmerican Educational Research Journal - Tập 33 Số 2 - Trang 455-488 - 1996
Mary Kay Stein, Barbara W. Grover, Marjorie Henningsen
This article focuses on mathematical tasks as important vehicles for building
student capacity for mathematical thinking and reasoning. A stratified random
sample of 144 mathematical tasks used during reform-oriented instruction was
analyzed in terms of (a) task features (number of solution strategies, number
and kind of representations, and communication requirements) and (b) cognitive
demands (e... hiện toàn bộ
Measuring Usable KnowledgeAmerican Educational Research Journal - Tập 49 Số 3 - Trang 568-589 - 2012
Nicole Kersting, Karen B. Givvin, Belinda Thompson, Rossella Santagata, James W. Stigler
This study explores the relationships between teacher knowledge, teaching
practice, and student learning in mathematics. It extends previous work that
developed and evaluated an innovative approach to assessing teacher knowledge
based on teachers’ analyses of classroom video clips. Teachers watched and
commented on 13 fraction clips. These written analyses were coded using
objective rubrics to yie... hiện toàn bộ
Differences Among Teachers in a Task Characterized by Simultaneity, Multidimensional, and ImmediacyAmerican Educational Research Journal - Tập 28 Số 1 - Trang 63-88 - 1991
Donna S. Sabers, Katherine Cushing, David C. Berliner
Expert, beginning, and novice teachers viewed three television monitors, each
focusing on a work group of a junior high science class, simultaneously.
Participants expressed their thoughts as they viewed the monitors, indicated the
monitor to which they were referring, and answered questions about classroom
management and instruction. Differences among the groups were found in their
perceptions, m... hiện toàn bộ
Globalization, Education, and Citizenship: Solidarity Versus Markets?American Educational Research Journal - Tập 39 Số 2 - Trang 363-378 - 2002
Carlos Alberto Torres
This article suggests that globalization places limits on state autonomy and
national sovereignty, affecting education in various ways. Those limits are
expressed in tensions between global and local dynamics in virtually every
policy domain. Globalization not only blurs national boundaries but also shifts
solidarities within and outside the national state. Globalization cannot be
defined exclusiv... hiện toàn bộ
What Kind of Citizen? The Politics of Educating for DemocracyAmerican Educational Research Journal - Tập 41 Số 2 - Trang 237-269 - 2004
Joel Westheimer, Joseph Kahne
Educators and policymakers increasingly pursue programs that aim to strengthen
democracy through civic education, service learning, and other pedagogies. Their
underlying beliefs, however, differ. This article calls attention to the
spectrum of ideas about what good citizenship is and what good citizens do that
are embodied in democratic education programs. It offers analyses of a 2-year
study of ... hiện toàn bộ
Level I and Level II Abilities in Three Ethnic GroupsAmerican Educational Research Journal - Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 263-276 - 1973
Arthur R. Jensen
A large battery of various tests of intelligence, scholastic achievement, and
short-term memory was administered to some 2,000 white, Negro and
Mexican-American pupils in grades, 4,5, and 6 in a largely agricultural school
district in the central valley of California. The three grades were used as
separate replications of the study. Factor analysis (i.e., principal components)
with oblique rotatio... hiện toàn bộ
How Including Prior Knowledge As a Subject Variable May Change Outcomes of Learning ResearchAmerican Educational Research Journal - Tập 41 Số 1 - Trang 159-189 - 2004
Amy M. Shapiro
Prior knowledge has a marked effect on learning outcomes. Researchers typically
rely on a number of methodologies to control for that factor in learning
research, including the use of fictional stimuli and domain-novice subjects. The
experiments reported here demonstrate that such methodological controls may be
insufficient. In Experiment 1, students read texts about fictional places and
events. I... hiện toàn bộ
Investigating Self-Regulation and Motivation: Historical Background, Methodological Developments, and Future ProspectsAmerican Educational Research Journal - Tập 45 Số 1 - Trang 166-183 - 2008
Barry J. Zimmerman
The topic of how students become self-regulated as learners has attracted
researchers for decades. Initial attempts to measure self-regulated learning
(SRL) using questionnaires and interviews were successful in demonstrating
significant predictions of students’ academic outcomes. The present article
describes the second wave of research, which has involved the development of
online measures of se... hiện toàn bộ
Interest and Learning From TextAmerican Educational Research Journal - Tập 28 Số 3 - Trang 643-659 - 1991
Ruth Garner, Patricia A. Alexander, Mark G. Gillingham, Jonna M. Kulikowich, Rachel Brown
Dewey (1913) suggested some time ago that trying to find out what is of interest
to students is an important part of schooling; on the other hand, “making things
interesting” is artificial and often unsuccessful. Two studies investigating the
placement of interesting detail in a text about a physicist and his scientific
work are reported here. In both studies, undergraduate students were asked to

Academic Optimism of Schools: A Force for Student AchievementAmerican Educational Research Journal - Tập 43 Số 3 - Trang 425-446 - 2006
Wayne K. Hoy, C. John Tarter, Anita Woolfolk Hoy
Researchers have been challenged to go beyond socioeconomic status in the search
for school-level characteristics that make a difference in student achievement.
The purpose of the present study was to identify a new construct, academic
optimism, and then use it to explain student achievement while controlling for
socioeconomic status, previous achievement, and urbanicity. The study focused on
a di... hiện toàn bộ
