Eighth Grade Mathematics Intervention: Improving Student Self-Esteem and Content Knowledge of Targeted Mathematic Skills

Book Description
Results indicate that within the intervention class, student academic achievement in remediated skills improved through teaching strategies aimed at increasing emotional well being and the use the individualized computer-based mathematics program. The increase was more substantial when students were given the freedom to control certain aspects of their learning experience. The happier they were in class and the more they believed success was possible, the better they performed. However, this mindset and performance did not carry over into their traditional 8th grade math classes. Students showed no improvement in grades from the start of the year through the end of the year in traditional classes.

The Relationship Between Student Self-concept and Mathematics Achievement Among Eight-grade Students

Book Description
The purpose of this project is to develop a mathematics program for use in an eighthgrade general math class which addresses student self-concept in mathematics focused on (a) a less intimidating, non-threatening classroom environment with a profusion of positive student reinforcement, (b) small cooperative student groups where students explore, problem-solve, reason, recognize thinking with logical justifications, (c) student perseverance, (d) effective classroom questioning to draw out student thinking, and (e) logical puzzles and critical thinking math problems. The objective of the project is to assist teachers and administrators in guaranteeing that all eighth-grade students have the opportunity to be successful in mathematics. Four lessons were designed around the California Mathematics and Common Core Standards. The lessons still need to be piloted and feedback from students and teachers would be beneficial to the effectiveness of each lessons implementation in a middle school mathematics classroom. Keywords: Academic achievement, non-threatening environment, self-concept, cognitive demand, classroom discourse, mathematical classroom discourse, math reasoning.

Self Esteem and Academic Achievement in Middle School Students

Book Description
This study investigates the connection between the academic side of learning and the social emotional. More specifically, this study looks at one specific social emotional category, self-esteem, and examines the possibility of a correlation to academic success. Using a well-established quantifiable measure of self-esteem, The Coopersmith Self Esteem Inventory and each of its embedded self-esteem subscores (General Self, Social Self, Home/ Parent Self, School/ Academic Self), the self-esteem level of 51 volunteer participants were established. Each participant was middle school aged (Grades 6-8) and was a current student at a middle school in Middlesex County, New Jersey. Using a multiple regression, these Coopersmith scores were individually compared to grades in core academic subjects (Math, ELA, Science, and Social Studies) as well as NJSLA standardized assessment scores in Math and ELA. The results varied for the different conducted tests. Overall, a correlation was not found to exist between NJSLA scores and self-esteem as determined by the Coopersmith Self Esteem Inventory. However, there was a positive correlation found to exist between grades in core academic subjects and participant self-esteem. The correlation was not strong enough to be used as a predictor for individual student grades or self-esteem level; however, a P-value of greater than .95 for multiple Coopersmith subscores is indicative of a relationship between the two variables that is statistically significant. This is evidence to suggest that as a whole, middle school students with higher self-esteem are also more likely to see an increase in academic success as well. (ProQuest abstract).
