First-Grade Manual: A Help-Book for Teachers
Author: Bolenius, Emma Miller
Date: 1923-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Textbooks,Reading Instruction,Grade 1,Elementary Education

This textbook is a course in first-grade reading. The goal is to approach the matter of primary reading both from the standpoint of the latest investigations in primary reading and also through the eyes of the child himself, keeping in mind environmental handicaps, lack of experience of many teachers, over-large classes, and other features that play such a strong part in determining the success or failure of a teacher's work. This course is built primarily for the child. It is built secondarily to aid the teacher to do well a task that in itself is tremendous -- that of giving the child control of the process that is basal in all of his other schoolwork.

Elementary Science Readers. First Book
Author: Payne, E. George
Date: 1927-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Elementary School Science,Textbooks,Reading Materials

This first book in the series of elementary science readers deals with plants, insects, birds, and higher animals. It is intended both to give the essential facts of science that children of the third and fourth grades should know and to serve as a school reader. It is then a content reader, furnishing additional reading material for increasing skill in reading and giving information that will be useful in the lives of the children not only now, but in later years. Since one of the most important aims of silent reading is the mastery of subject matter, there has been added to each chapter a list of suggested questions to aid the teacher in the effective use of the texts.
Elementary Science Readers. Second Book
Author: Payne, E. George
Date: 1927-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Elementary School Science,Textbooks,Reading Materials

This second book in the series of elementary science readers is a continuation of the subject matter of the first book (ED623220), dealing with plants, insects, birds, and higher animals, and the same principles underlie its construction. The purpose is to provide a body of reading material that will not only give increased power in reading, but will at the same time allow the child to explore the natural world for the purpose of discovering interests and of increasing capacity for social adjustment. Added to each chapter a list of suggested questions to aid the teacher in the effective use of the texts.
Elementary Science Readers. Third Book
Author: Payne, E. George
Date: 1928-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Elementary School Science,Textbooks,Reading Materials

The type of subject matter included in this book has been changed from that presented in the first (ED623220) and second (ED623221) books. While the first two books dealt with the elementary facts of biology, this third book is devoted to the facts of chemistry and bacteriology in their simple form. The purpose of this book, moreover, is not merely to arouse the interest of children in the facts of science, but also to arouse a feeling of appreciation for the achievements of science and of scientific men. These facts are presented for the purpose of creating a feeling of appreciation of the relation of science to life, and to introduce the reader to explore further into the applications of science and the accomplishments of scientific men. It is believed that there may be created the beginning of a scientific attitude of mind that will affect not only the child's personal living, but their relation to the community both at the present and in the future. Added to each chapter a list of suggested questions to aid the teacher in the effective use of the texts.
Elementary Science Readers. Fourth Book
Author: Payne, E. George
Date: 1928-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Elementary School Science,Textbooks,Reading Materials

This fourth book in the series of elementary science readers is a continuation of the previous first book (ED623220), second book (ED623221), and third book (ED623222), with a different emphasis. The central theme of this book is man in his struggle for adjustment to the earth as his home with emphasis upon organized effort and social adjustment. The part that science has played in this organized effort is kept constantly in the foreground. The book might be characterized as an attempt to indicate the part science has played in man's struggle for adjustment. The authors have not attempted to cover the whole field, but have selected outstanding examples for the purpose of giving the elementary school child the feeling of appreciation and understanding of this effort at adjustment. The technique of teaching this material may be left to the teacher and school administrator who are seeking to enrich the school program with this kind of concrete material. Added to each chapter a list of suggested questions to aid the teacher in the effective use of the texts.

The Impact of Gender, Parents&apos; Education Level, and Socio-Economic Status on Turkish Students&apos; Mathematics Performance
Author: Rusli
Date: 2017-00-00
Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Foreign Countries,Gender Differences,Parent Background,Socioeconomic Status,Mathematics Achievement,Achievement Tests,International Assessment,Secondary School Students,Educational Environment,Learning Motivation

This paper describes secondary data analyses that investigate the impact of gender, parents' education level, and socio-economic status upon Turkish students' mathematics achievement in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2009. The analyses were done quantitatively using t-tests, one-way ANOVA, correlation and linear regression. The findings revealed that gender differences and Turkish students' mathematics performance are statistically significant but practically not significant. Parents' education level had an impact on Turkish students' mathematics achievements. The index of Economic, Social and Cultural Status (ESCS) had a positive effect on mathematics achievements and ESCS was a significant predictor of Turkish students' mathematics performance. The findings seem to suggest that at the school level, the school environment is expected to build students' motivation in learning, and the teachers in the classroom setting are expected to provide extra hours and learning consultation services for students who need it. At the student level, students were expected to have high motivation in learning and are suggested to not rely on learning facilities provided by their parents. However, further research is required prior to making any recommendations on school policy, teaching, and learning practice in the classroom setting.

Pre-K Choice and School Readiness in HISD. Research Brief
Author: Baumgartner, Erin
Date: 2022-08-00
Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: Preschool Education,School Districts,School Choice,School Readiness,Program Effectiveness,Educational Quality,Student Characteristics,Racial Differences,Socioeconomic Status,Students with Disabilities,English Language Learners,Ethnicity

Many students attend a pre-kindergarten (pre-K) program outside of their neighborhood school, but there is no evidence that making this choice is associated with subsequent student readiness for kindergarten. In the Houston Independent School District (HISD), pre-K is not zoned, which means families can request to enroll their children on any campus with a pre-K program or Early Childhood Center (ECC) that has space available. As a result, many families may opt for programs that are outside of their neighborhoods, and it has been unclear whether students attending non-neighborhood campuses are more likely to be ready for kindergarten at the end of pre-K. School choice in pre-K was not associated with school readiness unless students attended a higher-performing pre-K program. Findings from this study suggest that children who exercised school choice and attended a higher-performing pre-K program were more likely to be kindergarten-ready than those who exercised school choice and attended a lower-performing pre-K program. This brief serves as the fourth, and final, study in a series examining pre-K access for students in HISD. [For the third brief in this series, &quot;Pre-K Preferences: How and Why HISD Parents Choose Pre-K Programs,&quot; see ED611189.]
