Yeh, Yi-Fen Y.; McTigue, Erin M. – School Science and Mathematics, 2009
The purpose of this study was to determine the extent that diagrammatic literacy is necessary for success on standardized science tests at the late-elementary and middle grade levels. Towards this goal, we quantified the frequency, form and function of graphical representations on select state science tests. 985 tests items from 14 states were…

Miller, Gloria I.; Jaciw, Andrew; Wei, Xin; Ma, Boya – Empirical Education Inc., 2007
This research project consists of a randomized experiment in a few of the Reynoldsburg City Schools. The primary purpose of this research is to produce scientifically based evidence of the comparative effectiveness of the "Scott Foresman Science" ("SFScience)" program. The question being addressed by the research is whether…
