Okay For our Pop
- 00:03 - 00:04
presentation,
- 00:05 - 00:08
we're working with the effects of poverty on students in the classroom.
- 00:09 - 00:12
The four sub topics that we've decided,
- 00:12 - 00:14
we're the four themes that we've decided to work with
- 00:15 - 00:17
student engagement, successful programs,
- 00:17 - 00:20
professional development and teacher readiness.
- 00:21 - 00:22
So
- 00:22 - 00:25
for the first Pop well for the first
- 00:25 - 00:26
subtitle
- 00:26 - 00:28
uh student engagement
- 00:29 - 00:33
uh constant in the field of education is the importance of student engagement
- 00:34 - 00:34
engagement.
- 00:34 - 00:38
Makes learning enjoyable for both the educators as well as the students.
- 00:38 - 00:42
Studies also show that students who are engaged in daily
- 00:42 - 00:45
lessons are more likely to perform well on assessments.
- 00:45 - 00:49
Students that come from those socioeconomic backgrounds encounter
- 00:49 - 00:52
circumstances that pulls them out of schools,
- 00:52 - 00:56
they are more likely to be suspended and more likely to have attendance issues.
- 00:56 - 00:59
The following articles show how some school districts
- 01:00 - 01:01
have improved student engagement.
- 01:02 - 01:03
So
- 01:03 - 01:05
we have several articles
- 01:05 - 01:08
that show pretty much what certain school
- 01:08 - 01:11
districts have done to improve student engagement.
- 01:11 - 01:15
Whereas some of the articles deal with attendance.
- 01:15 - 01:17
Some of the articles deals with behavior
- 01:18 - 01:21
and some of the articles even deal with parental involvement,
- 01:21 - 01:25
because those are three themes that research has shown
- 01:25 - 01:28
um affect students from those socioeconomic
- 01:29 - 01:30
our communities.
- 01:31 - 01:31
Um
- 01:32 - 01:35
Second thing we have is
- 01:35 - 01:43
back successful programs. So the successful programs, themes is our group's way of
- 01:44 - 01:47
establishing some of the successful programs that
- 01:47 - 01:49
schools and school districts have completed in
- 01:49 - 01:54
order to combat the issue of um teaching students that are in poverty.
- 01:55 - 01:56
So for successful programs,
- 01:56 - 02:00
the articles in this character category highlight specific programs
- 02:00 - 02:02
that were put in place to combat poverty
- 02:03 - 02:04
on a more in depth level.
- 02:05 - 02:08
They discuss how these programs affect students in the classroom.
- 02:09 - 02:11
Some of the programs are aimed towards hunger,
- 02:11 - 02:13
some lack of resources and others are focused
- 02:13 - 02:15
on improving the lives and skills of the
- 02:15 - 02:20
parents with hopes that this will lead to positive effects for the Children as well.
- 02:21 - 02:22
We have several articles
- 02:23 - 02:30
in which researchers have decided on what some successful programs have been.
- 02:30 - 02:33
Um those center around typically
- 02:34 - 02:35
professional development,
- 02:36 - 02:37
um
- 02:39 - 02:45
um others include different methods that school districts have done in order to
- 02:45 - 02:46
um
- 02:46 - 02:49
identify successful programs that could be used in
- 02:49 - 02:52
order to combat the issue of students who
- 02:52 - 02:53
live in poverty.
- 02:58 - 03:02
Okay, the next subtopic we have is professional development.
- 03:03 - 03:06
Um one of the main concerns of educators is that they are
- 03:06 - 03:09
often unheard when it comes to the decisions made in their profession.
- 03:10 - 03:12
Um this can often make them feel uncomfortable and
- 03:12 - 03:15
hesitate to admit any weakness is that they have
- 03:15 - 03:18
in order to improve the success of the students as well
- 03:18 - 03:21
as the instructional capacity of the school as a whole,
- 03:21 - 03:24
educators must commit to being lifelong learners.
- 03:24 - 03:28
So the central theme of all these articles is professional development.
- 03:29 - 03:31
Um some of the articles talk about
- 03:33 - 03:36
strictly curriculum coaches or instructional coaches,
- 03:36 - 03:39
then there's some articles about math coaches.
- 03:39 - 03:44
Um so it gets even more specific down to the subject that they're focusing on.
- 03:47 - 03:51
And the fourth sub topic is the teacher readiness program.
- 03:51 - 03:54
Um research proves that solving a problem can
- 03:54 - 03:57
begin before the problem is even established.
- 03:57 - 04:00
The teacher readiness programs are programs that that
- 04:00 - 04:03
are used to prepare um teacher candidates.
- 04:03 - 04:05
So this is even before the certification.
- 04:06 - 04:09
These articles highlight teacher readiness programs
- 04:09 - 04:11
and strategies that will ensure that educators
- 04:11 - 04:13
are using best practices to reach those
- 04:13 - 04:15
students that come from impoverished homes.
- 04:16 - 04:18
Articles in this category focused on
- 04:19 - 04:24
things that are offered by different colleges, also looking at
- 04:24 - 04:27
um hands on experience like field experience
- 04:28 - 04:28
activities.
- 04:29 - 04:30
And
- 04:31 - 04:35
I believe there's another article that focuses specifically on culture in
- 04:35 - 04:39
the schools bringing culture into the school like multicultural activities.
- 04:42 - 04:45
Alright, so these things my group kinda did together,
- 04:45 - 04:50
we were all kind of on the same page um had different articles about the same topic.
- 04:50 - 04:55
So it worked out wonderfully um as a reflection to our presentation,
- 04:55 - 04:56
we're going to answer three questions,
- 04:56 - 05:00
the first one being how was the literature map experience?
- 05:00 - 05:02
I'll let my partner go first.
- 05:03 - 05:07
Um I thought the literature map experience was very
- 05:07 - 05:12
insightful because it when doing a research project,
- 05:12 - 05:15
you know, there are a whole lot of different types of articles, you know,
- 05:15 - 05:22
especially with a topic that we have is quite broad which is as broad as you know,
- 05:22 - 05:23
teaching students that are in poverty,
- 05:24 - 05:24
you know.
- 05:24 - 05:27
So this literature math experience really allowed me an opportunity to
- 05:27 - 05:31
confine on different themes and really be able to break down
- 05:32 - 05:34
the topic and to sum things that
- 05:34 - 05:38
um we're currently doing in our schools as well
- 05:38 - 05:40
as things that I've seen done in other schools,
- 05:40 - 05:44
you know so far for the most part of the experience is very
- 05:44 - 05:45
very insightful for me.
- 05:47 - 05:50
I also think the experience has been insightful um a
- 05:50 - 05:53
literature map is something that I've never done before.
- 05:53 - 05:55
Usually just a literature review
- 05:55 - 05:59
or like an outline type of situation annotated bibliography.
- 05:59 - 06:02
I think this is a great way to organize
- 06:02 - 06:06
information prior to writing an actual research paper.
- 06:07 - 06:07
Right.
- 06:08 - 06:12
Question # 2X. What did you learn after mapping out your research?
- 06:14 - 06:17
Well the thing that I learned most was you know
- 06:17 - 06:20
after corresponding with the the other member in my group
- 06:21 - 06:23
that we were really on the same page as far
- 06:23 - 06:27
as what of which articles go with which things,
- 06:27 - 06:28
you know? So
- 06:28 - 06:33
you know that was really good because it showed that we were in the same ballpark
- 06:33 - 06:37
and it showed that the articles that we've collected, you know,
- 06:37 - 06:40
actually worked well with some of the themes in which we've developed.
- 06:43 - 06:48
One of the things that I learned from mapping it out was actually um there was
- 06:48 - 06:52
one category that we wanted to add but once we started looking at the resources,
- 06:52 - 06:56
we noticed that none of the articles really fit into that thing.
- 06:56 - 06:59
So we were able to kind of weed out some of the research that we had already done.
- 07:01 - 07:04
So basically picking the most
- 07:05 - 07:05
um
- 07:06 - 07:10
beneficial or the most informational articles and weeding out those that
- 07:10 - 07:14
were kind of just tagged on based on the broad PLP.
- 07:15 - 07:15
Right.
- 07:15 - 07:16
Alright.
- 07:16 - 07:18
Question number three acts,
- 07:18 - 07:22
do we need to revisit some sub topics to add more evidence?
- 07:22 - 07:26
Um For example do you only have one author under a single idea?
- 07:28 - 07:31
One of the things that we've been able to do is
- 07:31 - 07:35
you know we have four or five articles for each subtopic
- 07:35 - 07:39
you know So if anything we probably can go and
- 07:39 - 07:43
um reach deeper into those sub topics and find some
- 07:43 - 07:46
more topics that's based on those sub topics um To
- 07:46 - 07:50
just kind of you know add some information to our presentation
- 07:51 - 07:54
you know? But we've actually done a good job of
- 07:55 - 07:58
identifying enough articles and having enough articles that
- 07:58 - 08:02
deal with those topics and the literature map.
- 08:02 - 08:04
Also allowed us an opportunity to get rid of some of
- 08:04 - 08:07
those articles or to get rid of some articles that where
- 08:07 - 08:08
Older than 10 years old.
- 08:09 - 08:14
Um So I think we got a real good database of articles that we've collected
- 08:16 - 08:19
and I agree with my partner on that I think we have
- 08:19 - 08:23
the right amount of information to move forward with the research paper.
- 08:23 - 08:27
Um Again I think the most important part about this activity
- 08:27 - 08:31
was just being able to weed out the unnecessary parts.
- 08:31 - 08:34
Um You know when you're doing research you get wrapped up and making sure
- 08:34 - 08:38
you have enough evidence and there is no such thing as too much evidence.
- 08:38 - 08:40
So I do feel like our sub topics
- 08:41 - 08:43
and the amount of authors we have are sufficient.
