Abstract for my research project:
This project investigates the relationship between socioeconomic status and student responses to instructional approaches. Research has shown that factors such as income, parents' education, and social status contribute to student responses to instruction as well as a schools' approach to instruction (Jean Anyon). Two 5th grade classes from two areas which reflect different social and economic patterns will be observed to determine if these factors do affect teacher presentations and student responses to that learning. The observations will consist of 15 hours at each school. Differences in instructional approaches will be examined, for example, problem solving, questioning techniques, group work, lecturing, and student centered vs. teacher centered methods. The student responses will be determined through the observations; recorded responses to questions; and samples of work. In addition, the researcher will also review the census and other data to determine the socioeconomic status of the schools.
