Explaining Student Achievement: the Influence of Teachers’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge in Statistics

Abstract

Abstract:Statistics is an increasingly important component of the mathematics curriculum. StatSmart was a project intended to influence middle-years students' learning outcomes in statistics through the provision of appropriate professional learning opportunities and technology to teachers. Participating students in Grade 5/6 to Grade 9 undertook three tests, a pre-test, a post-test and a longitudinal retention test over a period of two years. Their teachers completed a survey that included items measuring pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) for teaching statistics. Despite the development of valid instruments to measure both student and teacher content knowledge and teachers' PCK, linking teachers' knowledge directly to students' learning outcomes has proved elusive. Multi-level modeling of results from 789 students for whom there were three completed tests and measures from their teachers indicated that students' outcomes were influenced positively by their initial teacher's PCK. Extended participation of teachers in the project also appeared to reduce negative effects of changing teachers.

Teaching Performance of High School Biology Teachers in Applying TPACK: A Descriptive Study

“…The application of PCK in the learning process is important because it can make it easier for students to understand biological content. The teacher's PCK can influence the way of learning and student learning outcomes [11,12].…”

“…Jadi guru adalah orang yang penting dalam menentukan kejayaan suatu pembaharuan pendidikan (Ma 2010;Nuraini & Leong 2010;Umi Nadiha et al 2016). Walaupun banyak kajian membuktikan pendekatan pengajaran yang berkesan adalah berpusatkan murid, guru masih selesa menggunakan kaedah konvensional yang berpusatkan guru (Callingham et al 2016;Hashweh 2016). opsyen Guru Matematik Sekolah Rendah sebagai Moderator dalam Hubungan Berstruktur Dalam latihan praperkhidmatan, guru pelatih membuat pilihan pengkhususan iaitu 'opsyen,' sekurang-kurangnya dalam satu mata pelajaran.…”

Accidental Teachers' Mistakes in Solving Physics Probolems: Teachers Didactogenic

“…Teachers must have good conceptions when teaching on the class [4]. Teacher who do a mistake on teaching show negatif impact for students' achievement [5]. However, many studies found that many teachers have mistaken on any concepts [6].…”
