“…His data revealed that fifth-grade students had significantly higher mastery-orientation than did sixth-and seventh-grade students, however his data indicated no significant differences in performance goals. The findings of Anderman et al (1999) andDi Cintio (1996) support the results of other research that suggests the learning environment affects the achievement goals of students (Cobb et al, 1991;Nicholls et al, 1990;Wood & Sellers, 1997).…”

“…The authors found that procedural instruction could quickly move students' procedural knowledge ahead of their conceptual knowledge, whereas conceptual instruction improved both procedural and conceptual knowledge simultaneously. Others also have found evidence that, compared to procedural instruction, conceptual instruction leads to greater conceptual knowledge and to comparable procedural knowledge (Bednarz & Janvier, 1988;Blöt, Van der Burg, & Klein 2001;Cobb, Wood, Yackel, Nicholls, Wheatley, Trigatti, & Perlwitz, 1991;Fuson & Briars, 1990;Hiebert & Grouws, 2007;Kamii & Dominick, 1987).…”

“…A focus on content is critical because the CCSS require moresophisticated mathematical content knowledge to support student work and to help students develop mathematical proficiency (Wu, 2011;Ball and Forzani, 2011). Studies of cognitively guided instruction (Carpenter et al, 1989), the problem-centered mathematics project (Cobb et al, 1991), and the educational leaders in mathematics project (Simon and Schifter, 1991) all demonstrated that PD programs that were content focused could have positive impacts on instructional practice and student achievement by improving teachers' understanding of mathematics and student mathematical thinking.…”

Cover: Constantinos/Fotoliaiii PrefaceThe Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) operates 181 schools to educate military dependents. The schools are located in 11 foreign countries, seven states, Guam, and Puerto Rico. DoDEA is committed to providing a high-quality education for the dependents of military and civilian employees. The Community Strategic Plan for school years 2013-2014 through 2017-2018 commits DoDEA to implement the Common Core State Standards in mathematics (to which DoDEA refers as the College and Career Readiness [CCR] standards). Efforts to change from the 2009 DoDEA mathematics standards to the CCR standards began in earnest during the 2014-2015 school year, with the CCR mathematics standards to be rolled out in elementary schools starting in school year 2015-2016 and scaled up the following school year to middle and high schools. This study was designed to support the transition to the new standards by examining the extent to which DoDEA's existing mathematics program was consistent with best mathematics education practices and by offering suggestions for improving the implementation of the CCR standards in mathematics. Some of the recommendations, such as aligning the CCR standards with new assessments, appear dated because, by the time the report was completed and reviewed, DoDEA had already taken some steps. The study employed a qualitative approach to examine the existing mathematics program and the initial efforts DoDEA was taking to align the mathematics program and practices with the CCR standards in mathematics.This research was sponsored by the DoDEA and conducted within the Forces and Resources Policy Center of the RAND National Defense Research Institute, a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the Office ...
