Examining the Sustainability of Research-Based Practices in Rural Elementary Schools after Program Funding Ends: A Case Study of Four First Grade Teachers
This paper describes a qualitative case study designed to investigate research-based practices as a contemporary phenomenon within the real-life context of schools. Selected first grade teacher perceptions of research based practices and...
This study examined the impact of different types of text on student achievement in elementary school science. Gender was also examined to see if the type of text passage read had any differential effect on boys' and girls' achievement....
The ever-changing composition of early childhood classrooms brings many challenges as well as chances for teachers to be more responsive to the needs of children from different backgrounds. In order to better prepare early childhood...
ABSTRACT Service-learning is a pedagogy that challenges students to create important connections between curricular content and their community. Experts in the field of early childhood education enthusiastically support learning...
An Exploratory Study of the Use of a Problem-Posing Approach on Pre-Service Elementary Education Teachers' Mathematical Creativity, Beliefs, and Anxiety
This quantitative study examined the notion of mathematical creativity and its relationship to epistemological beliefs of the nature of mathematics and mathematical anxiety. The participants were assessed in this study using the...
ABSTRACT Developmental screening programs identify young children with delayed skill growth or challenging behaviors and refer them to community agencies for evaluation or other services. This research studied the predictive impact of...
The purpose of the study was to explore the process of conducting action research and to describe how two groups of teachers came to understand, account for and apply their own action research plans. The processes involved in conducting...
Teachers play a crucial role in the academic success of their students. As such, there is great interest in how teachers are prepared for their important position. The purpose of this study was to document pre-service teachers' knowledge...
