Abstract

Teachers are most effective when they match their instruction to a student’s learning style (Dunn & Dunn, 1993).  It is very important for students to be engaged in activities that build on their perceptual and cognitive strengths.  After all, traditional instruction, compromising of teacher-directed information intake, only works for a percentage of students.  In the present quasi-experimental study, 16 students in a suburban middle school on Long Island were taught eighth grade social studies through a learning styles Contract Activity Package.  The other 16 students in the control group were taught through traditional instruction.  Using a contract activity package, students were assigned behavioral objectives for each lesson, activity alternatives, reporting alternatives for each behavioral objective, and team learning activities.  Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to both groups of students to measure the effects of both forms of instruction.  The students who learned through contract activity packages achieved proportionally similar gains from pre- and post-tests as compared with the students who learned through traditional instruction.  Additionally, males and females who learned through contract activity packages achieved proportionally similar gains from pre- and post-tests.  Based on the findings, the incorporation of learning styles strategies such as contract activity packages can serve as an alternative method of teaching for students that are not being fully serviced through traditional instruction.

Abstract

The manuscript has delved into a very specific solution in education; that is improving the spelling of students suffering from learning disability by employing reading and spelling interventions. The researchers themselves admitted that their article primarily focused on improving spelling capacity and not any other aspect of learning disability. It is therefore imperative to state that the primary source of knowledge and learning is reading. Reading interventions often bear remarkable results on children that are underperforming or have a learning disability (LD). For instance, a storybook reading intervention exercise remarkably improved vocabularies of underperforming students (Hargrave et al., 2000). The research (2000) is backed by various intervention studies, and is known to bring improvements. The authors of the article hence completely sidelined, except in one case, a very promising avenue of improving spelling ability by using reading intervention. The authors of this article ignored the importance of emotional stability. Emotionally instable students are known to have learning deficiencies. Most of them do not exhibit reading, spelling or writing disabilities per se, but their emotional instability is often complicit in obstructing their learning process. Autistic children, who are otherwise considered special, were not covered in the article. With very little ground breaking research on the topic, this article too kept itself aloof from the crucial issue of autistic children. The article did not give any procedural advice to parents on how to teach or perform the above mentioned procedures at home, where a significant part of learning occurs. Bullying is another contemporary issue which, in worst cases, results in learning disability, but the paper did not mention it. The authors focused mainly on improving spelling capability, ignoring contemporary issues in education administration and leadership associated with learning disability. The article was altogether silent on implications of the research done on educationist and administrators. It did not provide a formal procedure to reap benefits from the findings. Although the research did achieve breakthroughs in overcoming certain disabilities, like spelling improved considerably, it did not present a procedural and refined way for educationist to implement in their institutions. Moreover, the research did not identify a reliable criterion of selecting disabled students; merely accessing schools databases did not elucidate comprehensive segregating measures for educationists.

Abstract

This study was undertaken to investigate the use of technology in remedial education within Guyana’s mainstream primary schools and the strategies used to integrate technology in remedial education. This research identified possible solutions to reverse the negative views towards the use of technology in remedial education within Guyana’s mainstream primary schools specifically region # 5.  Two classes were used as experimental group and the other two as control group. The Quasi Experimental, Non Equivalent Control Group design was employed for this study. The instrument which was used for data collection was a teacher made test. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was 0.553 significant at alpha 0.01. The data were analyzed using mean and inferential statistics - t-test, and ANOVA.It was concluded that integrating technology in remedial education within Guyana’s mainstream primary schools can significantly improve learners’ academic performance and the rate at which concepts are grasped at the primary level.Further, the results of this study show that learners who are allowed to use the products of technology in there learning interactions in remedial classes demonstrated a better attitude and willingness towards their academic work. The outcome of the study show that the academic performance of learners who were given instructions and support using the products of technology significantly improved their performance in a shorter period that their peers who were exposed to traditional methods of instructions.

Abstract

This study focused on reasons why Science in Urban School Districts has been poorly received, and identified appropriate strategies necessary to help learners become confident in gaining better understanding in Chemistry. A high percentage of our students’ have failed to achieve passing grades on the statewide Chemistry Examination.This research described several obstacles that contribute to students’ poor performances in Chemistry.  Based on the findings from Clara Barton and Paul Robeson High Schools, adequate professional development and collaboration of human resources are key ingredients for dissolving the misconception of Chemistry awareness among our students. The action plan focused on: (1) improving students’ achievement on the Statewide Chemistry Regents Examination (2) providing teachers’ opportunities to implement monitor and evaluate new teaching practices (3) developing Chemistry workshops to increase collaboration and collegiality between principals, assistant principals, coaches, teachers and specialist from the district office. This plan was primarily aimed on having Chemistry teachers, reexamine their teaching styles and determine appropriate methods that will support students understanding of Chemistry better. This was accomplished via teachers sharing common prep time to conduct planning, assessment and decoding the Chemistry curriculum in order to eliminate irrelevant topics by aligning it with previous Chemistry Regents Examination also Science coaches will demonstrate best methods of teaching different Chemistry concepts.
