Reading Middle School Science Content Area reading Reading is present in everyday life. In middle school, it extends past reading class and slips into the content area classes: science, math, language arts, and social studies. Students in the middle schools are often unprepared for reading in these content areas and some content area teachers are also unprepared to instruct the necessary content reading strategies to help these students. Part of the middle school concept – teaming – allows teachers of the same students to meet together to discuss instructional ideas across the curriculum. Thus teaming should impact the teaching of reading strategies in the content areas. This study looks at the effect of team membership on the teaching of reading strategies in specifically science classes. For this study, two sixth grade teams from the same school were observed. Then the three science teachers from those teams were observed while teaching. Following the observations, these teachers were then interviewed. Conclusions from the data collected, determined that team membership does not directly impact the teaching practices of reading strategies in the science classroom. However, it was found that team membership does lead to the creation of relationships among teachers to openly communicate and share ideas across the content areas. Additional research could look at the impact of teaming on other grades such as seventh and eight, as well as, focus on developing practices to make better use of team members’ reading expertise. 2006-03-29 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1143468747 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1143468747 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
