Instructional models form based on the needs. To satisfy the needs specific targeted instructions are presented. Teaching how a vehicle is used, is an example for specific targeted courses. This study suggests and defines a new concept namely &quot;integrated instructional material&quot;. Integrated structures are applications and structures which contain integration for a specific purpose in a system approach. Accordingly, integrated instructional material is an assistant system for instruction. In other words, it is a supportive tool for teaching subjects of different disciplines as a whole by integrating them. 33 Preservice teachers, enrolled engineering class of Pedagogical Formation Education at a Faculty of Education of a state university in the Mediterranean Region of Turkey, performed the development process of integrated instructional material in the context of Instructional Technology and Material Design course. Data were collected through observation notes, open ended questionnaires, and clinical interviews. Content analysis was used in order to analyze data.

In this study, we described a curricular module on computational thinking (CT) integrated within an undergraduate, senior level elementary science methods course, and developed insights on elementary preservice science teachers' (PSTs) thoughts, feelings, and actions about CT integration. Our research question was: &quot;Following participation in an involuntary policy driven curricular module on CT, what is the nature of PSTs' intentions and avoidances as informed by their thoughts, feelings, and actions about the innovation in their elementary science classrooms?&quot; Three major findings were that PSTs 1) expressed an intention to integrate CT in their teaching and not avoid it, since they thought and felt that CT supported evidence-based science teaching practices and offered opportunity to increase their students career interest in STEM. That is, PSTs thought that the CT integration offered them the opportunity to teach science in a policy supported manner to all their students, including those traditionally underserved in STEM; 2) thought that opportunities to engage in CT in science would benefit their young students due to their use of technological tools to teach CT. Furthermore, they felt that CT made science more fun, interesting, and engaging, as well as cognitively challenging because of the need to think in a new way about science and engineering; 3) varied in their reasons for integrating CT in their practices and in their actions to integrate it in their classroom science lesson plans. Approximately half of the participants attempted to integrate CT due to polite compliance (termed &quot;Visitors to CT Land&quot;) and half attempted it due to a personal commitment to promote a new way of thinking in science that included CT (termed, &quot;Good Citizens in CT Land&quot;). PSTs in both groups varied widely in the scope and accuracy of their lesson planning and instruction of CT. Discussion focused on the role of affordances but also challenges in PSTs thinking, feeling, and acts of integrating policy driven innovation in pedagogy, specifically the CT innovation. Findings have implications for the design and instruction of science methods courses that seek to integrate effectively CT. Additionally, consideration of the use of lesson plans as evidence for the integration of CT in science instruction was the focus of an addendum to the study.

The overall aim of this study is to search whether teaching geometry with Cabri Geometry Plus II software have effects on 7th grade students' learning transformation geometry in mathematics. In this context, the researcher has used a pre-test and post-test research design with a control group. The research sample consisted of 135 students in total with random selection method. In the experimental group consisting of 66 students, teaching process by using Cabri Geometry Plus II software has been explained in a six-hour lesson period. In the control group consisting of 69 students, the transformation geometry has been also explained in a six-hour lesson period by making use of traditional teaching method. 20 questions of Mathematics Achievement Test have been asked to collect the research data. The data obtained from Mathematics Achievement Test has been analyzed through dependent and independent testing with SPSS Program. As a result of the data analysis it has been inferred that there have been improvements in the academic achievement of the students in the experimental and control groups, but the academic achievement of the students in the experimental group have been found to be higher when compared to the students in the control group. In other words it is concluded that between the students in the experimental and control groups have significantly different levels of achievement. According to this result, using dynamic geometry software Cabri program while teaching transformation geometry has been found to increase success levels of the students in the experimental group.

When Superintendent Curtis Craig, Ed.S., came to the Rensselaer Central Schools Corporation in 2015, he discovered an assessment problem common to many districts. The assessment results--Renaissance STAR and Acuity at the time--were not well aligned to the new, more rigorous standards the district and state had recently adopted. In addition, some educators in the district were concerned that the results simply gave them a score-- not the informative next steps they needed to improve student learning. Enter MAP® Growth™ from NWEA®. Craig had used MAP Growth in a previous district and thought it could help them identify students accurately and direct their efforts more efficiently. This report presents how MAP® Growth™ could benefit the Rensselaer Central Schools Corporation.
