Gantt, Allison L.; Paoletti, Teo; Greenstein, Steven – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
Despite significant research exploring students' quantitative reasoning, few studies have explored the semiotic processes that mediate its development. In this report, we present a case study to show how one student constructed a semiotic chain for a quantity as he worked with a mathematical task. Importantly, we connect frameworks for…

Anna Shapiro; Rebecca Sutherland; Julia H. Kaufman – RAND Corporation, 2024
Despite the growing body of research on how to support older readers, few studies consider whether U.S. teachers can identify students who have difficulty reading instructional materials across content areas or whether teachers feel like they have the knowledge and resources to support those students. Such information could lay the groundwork for…

Matic, Ljerka Jukic – Center for Educational Policy Studies Journal, 2019
Teachers' pedagogical design capacity is their ability to perceive and mobilise existing resources to create productive instructional episodes in the classroom. To a certain extent, this ability is dependent on the curricular resource used. As the textbook remains the most commonly used curricular resource in mathematics classrooms, the study…

Wong, Rachel M.; Adesope, Olusola O.; Carbonneau, Kira J. – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2019
Worked examples and self-explanations studies have been conducted predominantly with college students in controlled laboratory settings. While there is evidence showing the independent effects of these learning strategies with college students, little is known about the combined effects with K-12 students in ecologically-valid environments.…

Clabough, Jeremiah – Research Issues in Contemporary Education, 2020
Social studies teachers have to design classroom instruction to prepare students to be future democratic citizens. This means that middle school students need learning opportunities to grapple with issues of racism in our country's past and present. In this article, I discuss a six-day research project implemented in a sixth-grade U.S. history…
