Baroody, Arthur J.; Yilmaz, Nursel; Clements, Douglas H.; Sarama, Julie – Grantee Submission, 2021
Although hypothetical learning trajectories (HLTs) are often viewed as a valuable instructional tool, little research has directly evaluated their value. A basic assumption of HLTs is that ordering instructional activities by developmental difficulty enhances learning. A randomized control trial (RCT) served to evaluate this assumption with a…

Clements, Douglas H.; Sarama, Julie; Baroody, Arthur J.; Joswick, Candace – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
Although basing instruction on a learning trajectory (LT) is often recommended, there is little direct evidence to support the premise of a "LT approach"--that to be maximally meaningful, engaging, and effective, instruction is best presented one LT level beyond a child's present level of thinking. The present report serves to address…

Clements, Douglas H.; Sarama, Julie; Baroody, Arthur J.; Joswick, Candace; Wolfe, Christopher B. – American Educational Research Journal, 2019
Although basing instruction on learning trajectories (LTs) is often recommended, there is little direct evidence regarding the premise of a LT approach--that instruction should be presented (only) one LT level beyond a child's present level. We evaluated this hypothesis in the domain of early shape composition. One group of preschoolers, who were…
