Presentation transcript:

a retrospective look : Action Research on the Fly:

The Problem: Students in my freshman Physical Science class were unable to answer simple math- related questions on tests. Evidence: Post-test from previous unit shows nearly every student missing every math-related question.

The Question “Does focusing on remedial math skills, with relevant science applications, lead to increased achievement for students in science?” Or : “How can I be sure that my students will be able to apply the math they have learned to real-life situations and future science classes?”

The “Research” Mixed-Method, quasi-experimental for ease of use and multiple data sources. Design: Historical Inquiry with open-ended questions, Pre-test/Post-test assessment of math/science skills, and 3 quizzes along the way. M – S – T – M Or, Ideally: S – M – m1 – m2 – m3 – M

Procedure: Identified critical skills to focus on, using pre-test results. Matched survey answers to test scores, to look for trends. Pre- and post-tests used identical math questions, but different format and color. Discarded scores for students who never showed up for class.

Threats: Threats to Validity: Identical tests can produce a confounding variable. Threats to Fidelity: Implementation – did I teach to the test? Threats to Reliability: Each group of students will likely have different ability level.
