Title:Building academic skills in context: Testing the value of advanced math learning in career and technical education
Source:http://www.aypf.org/forumbriefs/2007/Resources/...
Date:2005
Organization:National Research Center for Career and Technical Education
Short Description:Many high school students, particularly those enrolled in career and technical education (CTE) courses, do not have the math skills necessary for today’s jobs or college entrance requirements.
Annotation:Many high school students, particularly those enrolled in career and technical education (CTE) courses, do not have the math skills necessary for today’s jobs or college entrance requirements. Math is found in all areas of CTE, but is largely implicit to both teachers and students. This report describes a group randomized trial (GRT) research study designed to test a model for enhancing mathematics instruction in high school CTE courses emphasizing the mathematics that is already embedded in the CTE curriculum. The aim was to help CTE teachers make mathematics more explicit in a meaningful context and then help reinforce students’ mathematics understanding both in and out of that context.
