Knuth, Eric J.; Stephens, Ana C.; McNeil, Nicole M.; Alibali, Martha W – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2006
Given its important role in mathematics as well as its role as a gatekeeper to future educational and employment opportunities, algebra has become a focal point of both reform and research efforts in mathematics education. Understanding and using algebra is dependent on understanding a number of fundamental concepts, one of which is the concept of…

Liu, Xiufeng – School Science and Mathematics, 2006
Using the US national sample from the 1995 Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), this study examined students' competence levels in understanding the matter concept at grades 3, 4, 7, 8 and high school graduation, and compared them to the expectations in the US national science education standards. It was found that…

Issakova, Marina; Lepp, Dmitri; Prank, Rein – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2006
T-algebra is a project for creating an interactive learning environment for expression manipulation tasks of elementary algebra. Our main didactical principle has been that all the necessary decisions and calculations at each solution step should be made by the student, and the program should be able to understand the mistakes. This paper…

Patterson, Carol L.; Ramsey, Byra; Womack, Sid T. – Online Submission, 2005
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the extent to which students in a rural Arkansas school district felt that bullying existed in their school. One hundred seventh grade students and 150 eighth grade students in a middle school were surveyed by a Likert questionnaire of ten items. Measures were taken to insure that students of all…

Chirichello, Michael; Eckel, Jill; Pagliaro, Genene – Middle School Journal (J3), 2005
Today, with the requirements of NCLB and state standards, schools are locked into a culture that seems to assume one size fits all. Teachers' focus is on preparing students to pass tests rather than on developing thoughtful curriculum. In this article, the authors discuss how teachers can move away from the constraints of disciplines and topics…

Blodgett Salafia, Elizabeth H.; Gondoli, Dawn M.; Corning, Alexandra F.; McEnery, Amanda M.; Grundy, Amber M. – Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2007
Burgeoning research on the adolescent (e.g., middle-school) years suggests that this is a particularly vulnerable period for the development of maladaptive eating patterns. Prior research has established a link between perceptions of maternal parenting practices and adolescent onset of problematic eating behaviors. The authors hypothesized that…

Klein, Andreas G.; Muthen, Bengt O. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2006
In this article, a heterogeneous latent growth curve model for modeling heterogeneity of growth rates is proposed. The suggested model is an extension of a conventional growth curve model and a complementary tool to mixed growth modeling. It allows the modeling of heterogeneity of growth rates as a continuous function of latent initial status and…

Nounopoulos, Alex; Ashby, Jeffrey S.; Gilman, Rich – Psychology in the Schools, 2006
Research finds that the availability of specific coping resources can alleviate the more harmful effects of stress among adolescents. Although studies have investigated the relationship between coping resources and various outcomes among general samples of youth, no research has focused on adolescents who report high personal standards in…

Kruger, Dirk; Fleige, Jennifer; Riemeier, Tanja – Journal of Biological Education, 2006
The study presents the frequencies of students' conceptions of growth and cell division before and after one hour of instruction. The investigation supplements qualitative results by directing attention to those conceptions which might occur most frequently to students: teachers can then concentrate their preparation on practical requirements. A…

There are two purposes in this study. One is to compare how 7th and 8th graders reason on linear and quadratic geometric number patterns when they have not learned this kind of tasks in school. The other is to explore the hierarchical relations among the four components of reasoning on geometric number patterns: understanding, generalizing,…
