Mendiburo, Maria; Williams, Laura K.; Sulcer, Brian; Hasselbring, Ted – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2014
In this paper, the authors discuss a portion of the design research process of developing an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) for classroom use. The goal of this ITS is to simultaneously provide automated support for student learning and generate diagnostic information for teachers that can lead directly to actionable recommendations for pedagogy…

Williams, Laura K.; Mendiburo, Maria; Hasselbring, Ted – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2013
A strong understanding of fractions is vital to later success in mathematics. However, research has consistently shown that fractions are one of the most difficult mathematical concepts for elementary school students to master. To attempt to remedy this deficit, the authors began a project called Helping At-risk students Learn Fractions (HALF) in…

Mendiburo, Maria; Hasselbring, Ted – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2011
Fractions are among the most difficult mathematical concepts for elementary school students to master (Behr, Harel, Post, & Lesh, 1992; Bezuk & Cramer, 1989; Moss & Case, 1999). Research indicates that manipulatives (e.g. fractions circles, fractions strips) positively impact students' conceptual and procedural understanding of…

Mendiburo, Maria; Williams, Laura; Henson, Robert; Hasselbring, Ted – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2013
The fact that research has shown that fractions are among the most difficult mathematical concepts for elementary school students to master (Behr, Harel, Post, & Lesh, 1992; Bezuk & Cramer, 1989; Moss & Case, 1999) provides a compelling motivation for research and innovation focused on improving the available assessment and…
