This study investigates "how and why" students' "Uses and Gratification Expectancy" (UGE) for e-learning resources influences their "Perceived e-Learning Experience." A "Uses and Gratification Expectancy Model" (UGEM) framework is proposed to predict students' "Perceived e-Learning Experience," and…

The authors reviewed studies on teaching reading comprehension to students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) with a focus on text (academic reading) comprehension and sight word (functional) comprehension. Eleven of 754 studies met the inclusion criteria: participants with ASD, published in English in a peer-reviewed journal, and use of an…

The purpose of this paper was to provide professors of research methodology and statistics with an annotated bibliography of articles that can be used to teach a particular statistical technique as well as to illustrate specific concepts in research methodology. By using these articles in intermediate and advanced statistics classes, instructors…

Presents experiments on the relationship between teacher intensity and levels of student attentiveness. Reports that increased levels of teacher intensity lead to greater student attentiveness. Discusses the implications of these finding for general music instruction. Identifies elements of effective teaching. (RW)

Presented are the results of an analysis of the cognitive stages of tenth-grade pupils using a six-week unit on the respiratory system. The research design, instruments, and data analysis are discussed. A variety of cognitive levels was found and may be related to learning outcomes. (CW)

This landmark volume presents the work of the American Educational Research Association's Panel on Research and Teacher Education. It represents a systematic effort to apply a common set of scholarly lenses to a range of important topics in teacher education. The Panel's charge was twofold: (1) to create for the larger educational research…

Explains how teachers can use treatment-only designs and self-recording (either alone or together) to implement frequent measurement of ongoing student performance and to evaluate and interpret ongoing instruction. Implementation recommendations include emphasizing improvements rather than predetermined goals, and cooperative, rather than…

Describes how art teachers can conduct their own scholarly research in the classroom. Outlines the design of a Grapho-Linguistics program aimed at teaching reading through art. Describes art strategies development, administrative reactions, sample and data collection methods, testing techniques, and procedures for achieving publication of…

An experiment accompanied by a series of writing exercises that engage students in activities that characterize scientific research is described. The exercise emphasizes experimental design and data analysis over technical manipulation. Possible issues for discussion and opportunities for collaboration and peer review are discussed. (KR)

Finds that introductory psychology textbooks present limited and often confusing coverage of research methods. Presents two research models that delineate separate dimensions for data collection procedures, research designs, and research settings.
