instruction to enhance teaching
COMET is a teacher enhancement project with two primary goals: (a) to develop practice-based materials for the professional development of mathematics inservice and preservice teachers, and (b) to develop a research framework and line of research to study teacher learning from cases. Henningsen, M., M. S. Smith (PL), M. Kay Stein (PL), E. A. Silver (PL), M. Boston, and C. Heffernan. Supported by National Science Foundation Assessment of high school students' performance on
work-related problem tasks The purpose of the study is to investigate the performance of third secondary scientific stream students on problem tasks derived from authentic complex work contexts and/or real-life contexts. The problem-solving context is a simulated real-life environment where collaborative team work is encouraged. A second purpose of the study is to identify the specific weaknesses of those students in dealing with work-based or real-life-based situations. Jurdak, M. (PL), and I. Shahin. Supported by URB Spatial problem-solving strategies
of a group of practitioners
The purpose of the study is to describe, compare, and analyze the problem-solving strategies of a group of students and unschooled practitioners. Participant observation, ethnographic observation and interviewing, and collection of artifacts are the main method of inquiry. Theoretical and pedagogical implications are drawn. Jurdak, M. (PL), and I. Shahin. Supported by URB Student achievement study
The purpose of the study is to provide quantitative data on the achievement of competencies in seven basic subjects of the new school curricula in Lebanon. Specifically, this study aims at (1) assessing and comparing achievement profiles for each of the seven subjects in grades 5, 6, 8, and 9 from a national sample of 5350 students selected by stratified cluster sampling; (2) identifying the strengths and weaknesses in the achievement of competencies in the seven subjects; (3) identifying the differences in achievement of competencies associated with (a) educational-organizational, (b) teacher, and (c) school variables; and (4) establishing base-line data for subsequent analysis. Criterion-referenced tests based on competencies as defined and published by the Center for Educational Research and Development were constructed for each of the four grades. These tests were content-validated by experts and piloted before use in the target sample. Jurdak, M. (PL) Supported by Lebanese Association for Educational Sciences
(LAES) Mindful learning: A framework for curriculum and
instruction This research program investigates learning strategies,
curricular models and instructional practices that foster "mindful"
learning. The goal is to develop a framework for curriculum and instruction
which prepares students to be active, engaged, self-directed thinkers and
learners, able to use complex cognitive strategies appropriately, draw unique
distinctions among concepts, and examine information from new perspectives.
The framework will offer a curriculum whose content, activities and contexts
value ideas, beliefs, hypotheses, links among concepts, and understandings
that transcend discipline-based knowledge. Rhoder, C. Mindful reading: Vocabulary acquisition strategies This research investigates effective vs. ineffective strategies
