Low and Wolfe (1981), in a study on the enduring effects of first grade teachers, found unexpected results that short-term gains in first grade do not necessarily lead to long-term academic gains. These results differed from Pedersen, Faucher and Eaton's (1978) findings. To investigate this anomaly, the primary and multilevel editions of the SRA…

This study concerns itself with the guest for reliable methods of helping a greater percentage of inner city junior high school students in New York pass the ninth-year Regents examination. It investigates the hypothesis that assigning inner city students to algebra by mathematics levels rather than reading levels will result in a higher passing…

The Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP) is a program of CEMREL, Inc., one of the national educational laboratories, and was funded by the National Institute of Education (NIE). Its major purpose is the development of curriculum materials for kindergarten through grade 6. CSMP was developed as a curriculum for ordinary classroom use,…

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Mathematics Assessment (1982) data were analyzed using latent class models to determine patterns of distinct skills required by different exercises and to estimate the pattern distributions. The populations were 9-, 13-, and 17-year-old examinees. Skills were assumed to be intermediate between…

The 1983 annual report of Washington's statewide test of fourth grade basic skills achievement is presented in this document. Both state level and district-by-district results are reviewed. The first section of this report presents the overall results for the 48,000 fourth grade students who were administered the basic battery of the California…

This is the fifteenth annual listing of research on mathematics education prepared for the "Journal for Research in Mathematics Education." References are organized alphabetically by author within three categories: research summaries, articles, and dissertations. Included are 33 summaries, 220 articles, and 297 dissertations. Studies…

The major problem in this study is to determine the effects of remedial methods on basic skills mathematics achievement and student attitude toward mathematics. Attitude prior to treatment was included as a blocking variable in one analysis. Remedial methods included: (1) no intervention or regular; (2) regular plus an intern teacher; (3) regular…

The Omaha Westside Public Schools Director of Research made a thorough investigation of student participation in the commercially available mathematics programs, the Hoffman Mathematics System and Systems 80, and parental attitudes about student participation. This report answers questions dealing with the justification of Title I funds resulting…

This study investigated the behavioral differences between high and low achieving students in two Canadian inner city schools. One school consisted predominantly of first generation Portuguese, Greek, and Chinese children, while the other served a predominantly second or third generation population of English speaking Canadians. An academic…

Presented is a supplement to two previous collections of expanded abstracts of research with calculators. Eight reports are abstracted to add to the information on the effects of calculators on achievement and learning. The critical commentary prepared by each abstractor pinpoints particular strengths and weaknesses of each study. (MP)
