Math Pathways Longitudinal Dyadic Study

项目摘要

This study aims to improve educational practices by filling critical gaps in research on the impact of relationships on mathematics achievement for Latino students. The study has two main objectives: First, the PIs will use longitudinal data and advanced statistical approaches to understand factors that influence mathematics attitudes and achievement during the transition from elementary to middle school. Second, the PIs will apply the expectancy-value model to the prediction of mathematics behavior and performance. Surveys will be collected from 300 Latino mothers, students, and their math teachers near the end of 5th grade, at the beginning and end of 6th grade, and at the beginning of 7th grade. The intellectual merit is its potential to advance understanding of how and why interest in mathematics develops or declines over time, and how parents and teachers respond to these changes. The work will address broader impacts and benefit society by contributing to the body of literature concerning Latino students in STEM and has the potential to influence both parental behaviors and teaching practices as they relate to underrepresented populations. A graduate student will be trained to develop and apply analytic tools for interdependent data to STEM education content, helping to address the critical shortage of quantitative methodologists. The findings will be disseminated to researchers, teachers, parent and teacher educators, and parents.

这项研究旨在通过填补有关关系成就对拉丁裔学生的数学成就的影响的重要差距来改善教育实践。该研究有两个主要目标：首先，PI将使用纵向数据和高级统计方法来了解影响数学态度和成就在从小学到中学期间的过渡期间的因素。其次，PI将将期望值模型应用于数学行为和性能的预测。在六年级开始和七年级开始，将从300名拉丁裔母亲，学生和他们的数学老师收集调查。智力优点是它可能会随着时间的流逝而发展或为什么对数学的兴趣发展或下降，以及父母和老师如何应对这些变化的潜力。这项工作将通过为STEM中的拉丁裔学生做出贡献，以解决更广泛的影响，并使社会受益，并有可能影响父母的行为和与人数不足的人群有关。将对研究生进行培训，以开发和应用分析工具，以促进教育内容，以解决定量方法学家的严重短缺。这些发现将被传播给研究人员，教师，父母和教师教育者以及父母。
