Notes
This
study
compared
the
effects
of
research
based
instruction
and
conventional
textbook
instruction
on the
acquisition
of
decimal
knowledge
by
fifth
grade
students
. The
two
fifth
grades
were of
similar
populations
and
located
in the
same
urban
elementary
school
. This
study
focused
on
relationship
between
decimals
and
fractions
,
comparison
of
decimals
through
the
thousandths
, and
addition
and
subtraction
of
decimals
through
the
hundredths
. The
experimental
group
received
standards
based
instruction
which
reflected
implications
from
research
regarding
sequencing
of
instruction
, the
use
of
referents
,
partitive
notion
of
division
,
fractions
(common
and
decimal)
,
place
value
, etc.
Children
had
many
experiences
at the
enactive
and
iconic
levels
and then the
symbolic
level
.
Children
constructed
procedures
from
conceptual
understanding
. The
control
group
received
instruction
from
Addison-Wesley
Mathematics
1993
. '
Explore
and
Connect
'
activities
from the
teacher's
manual
were
used
in
conjunction
with the
student
lessons
,
supplemental
materials
from the
series
, and
commercial
worksheets
.
Written
group
tests
and
interviews
(Hiebert
and
Wearne
,
1986)
were
used
for
pretesting
and
posttesting
. The
results
of this
study
indicate
that
research
based
instruction
improves
fifth-graders
acquisition
of
decimal
knowledge
by
linking
conceptual
understanding
(semantics)
and
procedural
understanding
(syntactic)
.
Results
were
significant
at the
p
=
0.000
level
. For the
experimental
group
the
mean
was
29.609
and the
standard
deviation
was
11.003
. For the
control
group
the
mean
was
14.000
and the
standard
deviation
was
7.141
.
