Mangin, Melinda M.; Dunsmore, KaiLonnie – Educational Administration Quarterly, 2015

We often hear that the most important role of education is to teach children to think creatively and effectively. Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) has recognised the importance of nurturing children from young and aimed to shift from "academic rote learning" to more experiential learning. Since 2003, mandated nationwide skill…

Observational assessment is being used on a large scale to evaluate the quality of interactions between teachers and children in classroom environments.

Libertus, Melissa E.; Starr, Ariel; Brannon, Elizabeth M. – Developmental Psychology, 2014
Over the past few decades, there has been extensive debate as to whether humans represent number abstractly and, if so, whether perceptual features of a set such as cumulative surface area or contour length are extracted more readily than number from the external world. Here we show that 7-month-old infants are sensitive to smaller ratio changes…

Roussin, James L.; Zimmerman, Diane P. – Journal of Staff Development, 2014
Policymakers have turned to teacher evaluation as one way to ensure accountability for school reform. In most evaluation systems, the emphasis focuses on the external: test scores, observations of classroom practices, rubric based assessments, student feedback, evaluation, and student work. While these activities have a place in professional…

Rickles, Jordan H.; Seltzer, Michael – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2014
When nonrandom treatments occur across sites, within-site matching (WM) is often desirable. This approach, however, can significantly reduce treatment group sample size and exclude substantively important subgroups. To limit these drawbacks, we extend a matching approach developed by Stuart and Rubin to a multisite study. We demonstrate the…

Mathematical listening is an important aspect of mathematical communication. Yet there are relatively few examinations of this phenomenon. Further, existing studies of students' mathematical listening come from observational data, lacking the student perspective. This study examined student replies to an open-response question regarding what…
