Reuterberg, Sven-Eric – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 1985
To reduce problems in comparing gains in the rate of students who progress to the next level of education, a nonlinear transformation is recommended. Two such transformations, probits and logits, are presented. Log linear models are recommended for an appropriate statistical test of sampling error. (Author/GDC)

Goldstein, Harvey – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1983
Two techniques for measuring relative changes in educational attainment over time are described. One standardizes measurements at each time or occasion and then studies changes in standardized group differences. The other is based on the use of longitudinal data using conditional models to make inferences about changes between groups. (Author/PN)

Wentzler, Nancy – Journal of Education Finance, 1981
Measures relative differences in the supply price of teacher inputs (that is, the cost of teacher salaries) so as to provide state aid payments that will equalize real resources per pupil across school districts. Highlights a simultaneous equations model. (Author/JM)

Sagiv, Abraham – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1979
A general model for a quantitative description of individual growth in learning was developed. Published data in a variety of areas and data on learning sequences in a classroom were processed through the model. Findings suggest that the general growth model governs growth phenomena. (Author/RD)

Edmonston, Barry; Knapp, Thomas R. – American Educational Research Journal, 1979
Since 1933, elementary and secondary student-teacher ratios have decreased, while ratios in college have increased. Until the late 1960s, the high birth rate and increasing proportion of college students demanded more teachers. Current enrollments in bachelor of education programs are three to four times too high for teacher demand. (CP)

Moody, Marian – Mathematics Teacher, 1990
Described is a learning activity that requires students to observe, read, and interpret graphs and organize and describe data. Included are the grade level, materials, objectives, prerequisites, directions, answers to questions, and copies of handouts. (KR)
Descriptors: Cognitive Development, Estimation (Mathematics), Graphs, Junior High Schools

Kincaid, Charlene; And Others – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Presents an activity in which students collect and organize data from a real-world simulation of the scientific concept of half life. Students collect data using a marble sifter, analyze the data using a graphing calculator, and determine an appropriate mathematical model. Includes reproducible worksheets. (MDH)
Descriptors: Data Analysis, Data Collection, Graphing Calculators, Integrated Activities

Jones, Graham A. – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Solves the problem of the reproduction of rabbit pairs utilizing the Fibonacci sequence. Examines modified versions of the problem, and presents a vignette of one modification based on the author's experience in using the approach with preservice middle school teachers. Extends the approach to other related problems. (MDH)

Carpenter, Thomas P.; And Others – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1993
After a year of instruction, 70 kindergarten children were individually interviewed as they solved basic, multistep, and nonroutine word problems. Thirty-two used a valid strategy for all 9 problems, and 44 correctly answered 7 or more problems. Modeling provided a unifying framework for thinking about problem solving. (Author/MDH)

Thomas, David A. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1992
Discusses the use of computer visualization to motivate and support mathematical dialogues. Describes the "Scientific Visualization Software Suite," a set of public domain visualization tools from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications. (Author/MDH)

Gamoran, Adam – American Sociological Review, 1992
Examines effects of tracking in high schools under different structural settings (selectivity, electivity, inclusiveness, and scope), using data for 20,762 students in 805 public and 78 Catholic high schools. Schools vary significantly in the magnitude of track effects on mathematics and verbal achievement. Catholic schools' tracking structures…

Desai, Anand; You, Min-Bong – Evaluation Review, 1992
Effects of Ohio's mandatory seat belt law on seat belt use, number of car accidents, and number of fatal and severe injuries were evaluated for January 1982 through March 1988. The monthly average number of accident victims was 2,002. Implications for public policy formulation and implementation are discussed. (SLD)

Tweed, Dan L.; Ciarlo, James A. – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1992
Six existing statistical procedures (models) for indirectly assessing the prevalence of need for alcohol, drug abuse, and mental health services across subareas of a state are described and critiqued in terms of epidemiological and statistical characteristics. Specific advantages and disadvantages are listed for each model. (SLD)

Wood, Eric – Mathematics Teacher, 1992
This article discusses the analysis of a decision-making process faced by contestants on the television game show "The Price is Right". The included analyses of the original and related problems concern pattern searching, inductive reasoning, quadratic functions, and graphing. Computer simulation programs in BASIC and tables of…

Griffiths, Rachel; Clyne, Margaret – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1991
Described is the use of story telling as a context to introduce mathematical concepts by providing a model, offering problem-posing situations, stimulating investigation, and illustrating concepts. Examples of appropriate stories are given for the primary and low secondary levels. (MDH)
