Russo, James; Hopkins, Sarah – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
There has been considerable research into how children solve single-digit addition problems for more than a century now, which has brought about significant changes to the ways teachers' support children to retrieve single-digit addition facts. In this project, we examine what makes an addition problem difficult to retrieve in light of…

Andrew Miller; Leanne Fray; Jennifer Gore – Australian Educational Researcher, 2024
By the end of 2021, more than 168 million students across the globe had missed a year of face-to-face schooling due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In NSW, Australia, most students engaged in learning from home for eight weeks during 2020 and a further 14 weeks during 2021. This study provides robust empirical evidence on how two years of disruptions to…

Rafaela Cleeve Gerkens – Australian Journal of Language and Literacy, 2024
Drama has the potential to enrich and enliven established approaches to literacy learning, engaging students and expanding their possibilities for meaning-making. Drama-rich pedagogy is well-established as an effective tool in supporting language and literacy development. However, research to date has not explored the possibilities of using drama…

Downton, Ann; Giumelli, Kerry; McHugh, Barbara; Stenning, Paul – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2023
The shift from additive to multiplicative thinking is challenging for students. A professional learning program was developed that focused on an identified area of need by teachers, namely multiplicative thinking. Program content focused on concepts underpinning multiplicative thinking, pedagogical approaches, challenging tasks, and application to…

Feng, Maggie; Bobis, Janette; O'Connor, Bronwyn Reid; Way, Jennifer – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2023
The current study explored the reasons for students' preferences for the teach-first and task-first lesson structures, and whether students' preferences were influenced by their perceptions of the teacher's preference. Students (n=18) from two composite Year 3 and 4 classes (aged 8-10 years) completed a post-lesson drawing task and participated in…

J. Colton; L. O'Keeffe; G. Barry; B. White; J. White – Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 2024
This article considers how teachers' encounters with a newly built learning space are complicit in the practices performed in that space. It builds on previous research into the relationship between learning spaces and pedagogical change by highlighting the acoustic aspects and how they were perceived by teachers in a primary school. Over two…

Muir, Tracey – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2023
Providing opportunities for students to demonstrate their mathematical thinking can be challenging. This paper reports on a case study conducted with a teacher and her class of Grade 3/4 students which investigated this phenomenon. Following collection of baseline data that showed her students were not demonstrating evidence of mathematical…

Kelso, Katrina; Whitworth, Anne; Parsons, Richard; Leitão, Suze – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2022
Poor comprehenders are a significant subgroup of poor readers who, due to their ability to read aloud accurately, are often difficult to identify. This study aimed to determine whether assessment using two oral language tasks, mapped onto the two components of the Simple View of Reading, would provide an efficient approach to identification.…

Oslington, Gabrielle Ruth; Mulligan, Joanne; Van Bergen, Penny – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2021
This longitudinal study aimed to determine changes in students' predictive reasoning across one year. Forty-four Australian students predicted future temperatures from a table of maximum monthly temperatures, explained their predictive strategies, and represented the data at two time points: Grade 3 and 4. Responses were analysed using a…

Bell, Nicola; Wheldall, Kevin – Australian Journal of Education, 2022
The present study was conducted to explore how the relationships between reading comprehension constructs change according to word reading accuracy, as measured in a large convenience sample (n = 857) of school-aged students (Years 3-6) with reading difficulties. Multiple regression analyses containing interaction variables were conducted, to…

Hopkins, Sarah; Russo, James; Siegler, Robert – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2022
There is a growing awareness that many children are not developing fast and accurate retrieval-based strategies for solving single-digit addition problems. In this study we individually assessed 166 third and fourth grade children to identify a group of children (called accurate-min-counters) who frequently solved simple single-digit addition…

Hui, Wan Ying; Brown, Ted; Yu, Mong-Lin; Lyons, Carissa – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2022
Handwriting is an important daily occupation for children. When assessing children's handwriting, it is recommended that clinicians use objective handwriting performance tests as well as solicit children's and parents' perspectives to promote client-centered practice. However, it remains unknown to what extent objective handwriting performance…

Bronwyn Reid O'Connor – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
A 7-month mathematics proficiency program was conducted in a primary Australian Indigenous community school. This paper focuses on outlining the specific methodologies employed to explore how students' mathematical proficiency changed throughout the implementation of the program in Years 2 to 4 (~ 7 to 9 years old). A mixed methods research design…

Children's positive perceived motor competence (PMC) provides motivation for physical activity. Theoretically young children (<8 years) have inflated PMC but as children cognitively develop, perceptions are hypothesized to decrease. This study investigated strength of PMC association over time, whether any change was negative (i.e. PMC…

Gore, Jennifer; Fray, Leanne; Miller, Andrew; Harris, Jess; Taggart, Wendy – Australian Educational Researcher, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic produced widespread disruption to schooling, impacting 90% of the world's students and moving entire school systems to remote and online learning. In the state of New South Wales, Australia, most students engaged in learning from home for at least eight weeks, with subsequent individual and intermittent school closures.…
