2. Stability of School Contributions to Student Social-Emotional Learning Gains. Working Paper

Author

Stanford University, Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE), Fricke, Hans, Loeb, Susanna, Meyer, Robert, Rice, Andrew, and Pier, Libby

Abstract

School value-added models are increasingly used to measure schools' contributions to student success. At the same time, policymakers and researchers agree that schools should support students' socialemotional learning (SEL) as well as academic development. Yet, the evidence regarding whether schools can influence SEL and whether statistical growth models can appropriately measure this influence is limited. Recent work shows meaningful differences across schools in changes in SEL scores by grade (Loeb, Christian, Hough, Meyer, Rice, & West, 2019), but whether these differences represent the effects of schools is still unclear. The current paper builds upon this earlier work by examining the stability of the estimated school-by-grade effects on SEL across two years, using a large-scale SEL survey administered in California's CORE districts. We find that correlations among school effects in the same grades across different years are positive, but they are lower than those for math and English Language Arts (ELA). Schools in the top or the bottom of the school effect distribution are more persistent in their impacts across years than those in the middle of the distribution. Overall, the results provide evidence that these school effects measure real contributions to SEL. However, the low stability of effects from one year to the next draw into question whether including these school value-added measures of self-reported SEL in school performance frameworks and systems would be beneficial.

6. Selected Papers

Author

Calvin C. Elgot, Stephen L. Bloom, Calvin C. Elgot, and Stephen L. Bloom

Subjects
Mathematics, Application software, Elementary particles (Physics), Quantum field theory
Abstract

Cal Elgot was a very serious and thoughtful researcher, who with great determi­ nation attempted to find basic explanations for certain mathematical phenomena­ as the selection of papers in this volume well illustrate. His approach was, for the most part, rather finitist and constructivist, and he was inevitably drawn to studies of the process of computation. It seems to me that his early work on decision problems relating automata and logic, starting with his thesis under Roger Lyndon and continuing with joint work with Biichi, Wright, Copi, Rutledge, Mezei, and then later with Rabin, set the stage for his attack on the theory of computation through the abstract treatment of the notion of a machine. This is also apparent in his joint work with A. Robinson reproduced here and in his joint papers with John Shepherdson. Of course in the light of subsequent work on decision problems by Biichi, Rabin, Shelah, and many, many others, the subject has been placed on a completely different plane from what it was when Elgot left the area. But I feel that his papers, results-and style-were very definitely influential at the time and may well have altered the course of the investigation of these problems. As Sammy Eilenberg explains, the next big influence on Elgot's thinking was category theory, which gave him a way of expressing his ideas in a sharply algebraic manner. The joint book with Eilenberg is one illustration of this influence.

7. Experimental Evaluation of the Tools of the Mind Pre-K Curriculum. Technical Report. Working Paper

Author

Vanderbilt University, Peabody Research Institute (PRI), Farran, Dale C., Wilson, Sandra J., Meador, Deanna, Norvell, Jennifer, and Nesbitt, Kimberly

Abstract

The experimental evaluation of the "Tools of the Mind Pre-K Curriculum" described in this report was designed to examine the effectiveness of the "Tools of the Mind" ("Tools") curriculum for enhancing children's self-regulation skills and their academic preparation for kindergarten when compared to the usual prekindergarten curricula in use in the school system. In order to assess the long-term impacts of "Tools" on student academic achievement and self-regulation outcomes, students were followed into kindergarten and first grade. Participating classrooms were also observed three times during the prekindergarten year using multiple measures designed to capture implementation fidelity as well as child and teacher behaviors in the classroom. The project was fortunate to have participants from Franklin Special School District, Lebanon Special School District, Wilson County School District, and Cannon County School District in Tennessee as well as Guilford County Schools and Alamance-Burlington School System in North Carolina. The evaluation involved two cohorts of children. Cohort 1 (2010-2011) included the four Tennessee school systems and Guilford County Schools in North Carolina and involved children from 60 classrooms ("Tools" = 32) in 45 schools ("Tools" = 25). Cohort 2 (2011-2012) included Alamance-Burlington School System in North Carolina with children from 20 classrooms ("Tools" = 10) in 12 schools ("Tools" = 5). The research design investigated the effectiveness of "Tools," by conducting a longitudinal cluster-randomized experiment to address the questions: (1) Do children in "Tools of the Mind" classrooms improve more in literacy, math, social skills, and exhibit reduced behavior problems during the preschool year than children in "business as usual" comparison classrooms? (2) Do children in "Tools of the Mind" classrooms show greater gains in learning-related self-regulation than children in the comparison classrooms? (3) Are there differential effects of "Tools of the Mind" associated with characteristics of the children? And, (4) Do the effects of participating in a "Tools of the Mind" classroom sustain into kindergarten and first grade? In addition, an extensive battery of observational measures was employed to examine implementation fidelity and other classroom processes that might have mediated the curriculum effects. Overall, the authors found no significant effects of the "Tools of the Mind" curriculum on literacy, language or mathematics achievement when compared to business as usual classrooms whose teachers used a variety of curricular approaches. Similarly, they found no effects on Self-Regulation. Gains in achievement and self-regulation were correlated, r = 0.35. Additional outcomes and future directions are recommended.

11. Bus Routing Algorithms: Application to a Rural School District. Working Paper No. 27

Author

Ohio Univ., Athens. Appalachian Collaborative Center for Learning, Assessment, and Instruction in Mathematics., Belcher, Johnny, Britt, Deborah, Granade, Sharilyn, Powell, Lori, and Schlessinger, Paula

Abstract

This paper proposes a mathematical model that delineates a feasible system of bus transportation for this multiple-school district. The model is composed of six elementary school districts which are part of the overall middle school and high school district. This proposal attempts to show Laurel district busing as a representative sample of what needs to be done in all six elementary districts. Final transportation routes from all six districts to the centrally located county Middle and High Schools are included and explained. Both elementary district and entire county algorithms are included. First, the population distribution was analyzed and bus stops were created for the sample Laurel district such that the average number of children per stop is maximized and each child walks no more than a predetermined distance. Next, the bus stops were grouped geographically into regions of roughly equivalent number of students, and the viable routes for each region were determined. Finally, these routes were sequenced by the implementation of the NCL (No Child Left at Bus Stop) algorithm created for the Madison County Schools. The algorithm has been created so that changes can be made to accommodate adjustments in parent and school board decisions.

14. Improving Student Reading. Idea Paper No. 26.

Author

Kansas State Univ., Manhattan. Center for Faculty Evaluation and Development in Higher Education., Maleki, Razieh B., and Heerman, Charles E.

Abstract

This paper focuses on methods to improve the reading abilities of college students. A list of five elements college instructors (who are not reading specialists) should establish in a content reading agenda is offered; (1) an instructional basis for the reading process which will work for them; (2) content literacy environments; (3) insights into the skill level characteristics of readers; (4) working relationships with the campus reading program; and (5) inclusion of reading strategies in their content instruction. Stating that students must know the purpose of the course and understand what is to be done with the information provided through lectures and textbook reading assignments to successfully interact with the text, the paper offers methods of establishing the five elements suggested. Also addressed are the unique challenges of social science, mathematical, and scientific reading instruction. The paper concludes with a brief summary and suggestions for collaboration between the content specialist and the reading staff. (Contains 55 references.) (CR)

18. Reassessing Riemann's Paper : On the Number of Primes Less Than a Given Magnitude

Author

Walter Dittrich and Walter Dittrich

Subjects
Mathematics, History, Number theory, Elementary particles (Physics), Quantum field theory
Abstract

In this book, the author pays tribute to Bernhard Riemann (1826-1866), a mathematician with revolutionary ideas, whose work on the theory of integration, the Fourier transform, the hypergeometric differential equation, etc. contributed immensely to mathematical physics. The text concentrates in particular on Riemann's only work on prime numbers, including ideas – new at the time – such as analytical continuation into the complex plane and the product formula for entire functions. A detailed analysis of the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function is presented. The impact of Riemann's ideas on regularizing infinite values in field theory is also emphasized. This revised and enhanced new edition contains three new chapters, two on the application of Riemann's zeta-function regularization to obtain the partition function of a Bose (Fermi) oscillator and one on the zeta-function regularization in quantum electrodynamics. Appendix A2 has been re-written to make the calculations more transparent. A summary of Euler-Riemann formulae completes the book.

Abstract

'The influence of Ramanujan on number theory is without parallel in mathematics. His papers, problems, and letters have spawned a remarkable number of later results by many different mathematicians. Here, his 37 published papers, most of his first two and last letters to Hardy, the famous 58 problems submitted to the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society, and the commentary of the original editors (Hardy, Seshu Aiyar and Wilson) are reprinted again, after having been unavailable for some time. In this printing of Ramanujan's collected papers, Bruce Berndt provides an annotated guide to Ramanujan's work and to the mathematics it inspired over the last three-quarters of a century. The historical development of ideas is traced in the commentary and by citations to the copious references. The editor has done the mathematical world a tremendous service that few others would be qualified to do'--Provided by publisher.

32. Evaluating Student Performance amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic Using Propensity Score Matching

Author

Hudson, Kimberly M., Tomkowicz, Joanna T., and Li, Wen-Ching

Abstract

The purpose of the current research study was to investigate the extent to which student performance was influenced by the disruption to learning that occurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To explain observed differences in performance, we compared outcomes from a state-wide summative testing program between students who were administered the test in 2019 and 2021. Because the background and demographic characteristics of the two testing populations differed on several variables, including race/ethnicity, locale, and subgroup membership, propensity score matching was used to develop comparable groups for analyses. Independent samples t-tests were then conducted to assess whether there were significant differences in mean scaled scores and domain subscores between the two matched groups. In addition, the same procedures were used to develop and analyze differences for specific student subgroups (students with disabilities, economically disadvantaged students, and English language learners). Overall, results indicated that the 2021 test-takers earned lower scores than students who tested in 2019 for all subjects and grade levels, except English Language Arts (ELA) grade 8. Moreover, larger score differences were observed for mathematics than ELA. Lastly, results from subgroup analyses indicated that in mathematics all subgroups earned significantly lower scores in 2021 than 2019, whereas in ELA grades 5 through 7, English Language Learners and economically disadvantaged subgroups earned lower scores in 2021 than 2019. The results of this study suggest that after controlling for differences between the 2021 and 2019 populations, student performance was likely influenced by the disruption to learning due to pandemic-related factors.

Abstract

Even at the beginning of the 21st century, we are far from becoming paperless. Pen and paper is still the only truly ubiquitous information processing technology. Pen-and-paper user interfaces bridge the gap between paper and the digital world. Rather than replacing paper with electronic media, they seamlessly integrate both worlds in a hybrid user interface. Classical paper documents become interactive. This opens up a huge field of novel computer applications at our workplaces and in our homes. This book provides readers with a broad and extensive overview of the field, so as to provide a full and up-to-date picture of pen-and-paper computing. It covers the underlying technologies, reviews the variety of modern interface concepts and discusses future directions of pen-and-paper computing. Based on the author's award-winning dissertation, the book also provides the first theoretical interaction model of pen-and-paper user interfaces and an integrated set of interaction techniques for knowledge workers. The model proposes a ‘construction set'of core interactions that are helpful in designing solutions that address the diversity of pen-and-paper environments. The interaction techniques, concrete instantiations of the model, provide innovative support for working with printed and digital documents. They integrate well-established paper-based practices with concepts derived from hypertext and social media.Researchers, practitioners who are considering deploying pen-and-paper user interfaces in real-world projects, and interested readers from other research disciplines will find the book an invaluable reference source. Also, it provides an introduction to pen-and-paper computing for the academic curriculum. The present book was overdue: a thorough, concise, and well-organized compendium of marriages between paper-based and electronic documents.Max Mühlhäuser, Technische UniversitätDarmstadtEveryone interested in how to design for real-world activities would profit from reading this book.James D.

Subjects
Mathematics, Geometry, Differential
Abstract

This volume of selected academic papers demonstrates the significance of the contribution to mathematics made by Manfredo P. do Carmo. Twice a Guggenheim Fellow and the winner of many prestigious national and international awards, the professor at the institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics in Rio de Janeiro is well known as the author of influential textbooks such as Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces. The area of differential geometry is the main focus of this selection, though it also contains do Carmo's own commentaries on his life as a scientist as well as assessment of the impact of his researches and a complete list of his publications. Aspects covered in the featured papers include relations between curvature and topology, convexity and rigidity, minimal surfaces, and conformal immersions, among others. Offering more than just a retrospective focus, the volume deals with subjects of current interest to researchers, including a paper co-authored with Frank Warner on the convexity of hypersurfaces in space forms. It also presents the basic stability results for minimal surfaces in the Euclidean space obtained by the author and his collaborators. Edited by do Carmo's first student, now a celebrated academic in her own right, this collection pays tribute to one of the most distinguished mathematicians.

Abstract

The theory of nonlinear oscillations and stability of motion is a fundamental part of the study of numerous real world phenomena. These phenomena, particularly auto-oscillations of the first and second kind, capture, para­ metric, subharmonic and ultraharmonic resonance, asymptotic behavior and orbits'stability, constitute the core of problems treated in'Nonlinear Mechanics', and their study is connected with the names of H. Poincare, A. M. Lyapunov, N. M. Krylov and N. N. Bogolyubov. Professor Demetrios Magiros, a widely known scientist in the theories of oscillations and nonlinear differential equations, has devoted his numerous works to this significant part of modern physical science. His scientific results can be classified in the following way: I) creation of methods of analysis of subharmonic resonances under the nonlinear effect, 2) determination and analysis of the main modes of nonlinear oscillations on the basis of infinite determinants, 3) analysis of problems of celestial mechanics, 4) classification of stability of solutions of dynamic systems concepts, 5) mathematical analogs of physical and social systems. He has developed new methods and solutions for a great number of difficult problems of nonlinear mechanics making a significant contri­ bution to the theory and applications of the field. Urgency, depth of perception of the considered phenomena, and practi­ cal directness are characteristics of his work.
