The Study of Instructional Improvement (SII; Hill, Rowan, and Ball, 2004) was carried out by researchers at the University of Michigan to study the math achievement scores of first- and third-grade students in randomly selected classrooms from a national U.S. sample of elementary schools.
data(classroom)
A data frame with 1190 observations on the following 12 variables.
: Indicator variable (0 = boys, 1 = girls)
: Indicator variable (0 = non-minority students, 1 = minority students)
: Student math score in the spring of their kindergarten year
: Student gain in math achievement score from the spring of kindergarten to the spring of first grade (the dependent variable)
: Student socioeconomic status
: First grade teacher years of teaching experience
: First grade teacher mathematics content knowledge: based on a scale based composed of 30 items (higher values indicate higher content knowledge)
: Percentage of households in the neighborhood of the school below the poverty level
: First grade teacher mathematics preparation: number of mathematics content and methods courses
: Classroom ID number
: School ID number
: Student ID number
