Abstract: "Middle school students lack efficient problem solving skills due to several factors. The writing
process has been linked to the development of students' problem solving skills. The present study
investigated the impact of the writing process on the mathema
tical problem solving skills for middle
grades students. N = 96 students participated in a six weeks, after school STEM program, and they
were randomly assigned into two groups: one focused on the writing process with mathematical
problem solving and the o
ther on homework/high stakes test preparation with mathematical
problem solving. In this quantitative study, the results provide evidence that the students from the
writing process group were more likely to generate and apply better problem solving skills
as
compared to the control group. This study further contributes to the support and importance of
integrating different subjects across the generalized learning realm"
Nice stuff - ideal to add to a lesson introducing standard form (scientific notation) - wish they'd written the numbers the conventional way round though!
"the National Research Council (NRC) convened two public workshops to examine the impact and effectiveness of selected STEM undergraduate education innovations. This volume summarizes the workshops, which addressed such topics as the link between learning goals and evidence; promising practices at the individual faculty and institutional levels; classroom-based promising practices; and professional development for graduate students, new faculty, and veteran faculty. The workshops concluded with a broader examination of the barriers and opportunities associated with systemic change."
