Purpose: There is a shortage of information on evidence-based interventions for supporting young multilingual children. The purpose of this review was to identify interventions that have been evaluated with preschool-age multilingual children with a speech and/or language disorder or who are at risk of poor speech, language, literacy, and/or…

Repeated reading (RR) is an established and extensively researched intervention which has been shown to improve reading fluency and comprehension. However, past reviews have found the rigor of the RR research insufficient for it to be considered evidence-based. Previous review of the RR research were updated and expanded. Forty-four group designs…

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends using an autism-specific screening tool for all young children at primary care well visits. Screening can detect risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in young children whose parents and pediatrician may not otherwise have developmental concerns. The identification of children with or at-risk for ASD…

As online learners are increasingly diverse, making online learning more inclusive becomes an urgent need. Universal design has been perceived as a viable framework to reach the widest possible range of learners. However, applying universal design to online education has been a challenge to instructors due to different barriers. It is also unclear…

Educational inclusion aims to support all students through instructional and contextual designs that promote learning. Educators are assigned the task of teaching an increasingly neurodiverse population with varying neurological processes and perceptions. Traditional school-based settings are designed for individuals with less neurodivergence,…

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift in higher education towards blended and online learning, prompting a need for robust quality assurance interventions. Blended learning, a combination of face-to-face and online experiences, offers flexibility and individualised learning paths, but its quality varies across institutions. Quality…

Over the past three decades, there has been increasing attention on improving healthcare quality, reliability, and ultimately, patient outcomes, through the provision of healthcare that that is influenced by the best available evidence, and devoid of rituals and tradition. The main purpose of this systematic review is to determine the differences…

Clinical Question: For a school-age child with a language disorder, what therapy strategies are effective to improve the child's "Wh"-question answering abilities? Method: Systematic search and review. Study Sources: Academic Search Complete, ASHAWire, Education Full Text, Education Research Complete, ERIC, Google Scholar, Psychology…

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) clubs are gaining momentum as a means for engaging students in STEM-related activities. Despite this growth, there have been limited attempts to examine the conditions that inform practice in these informal educational spaces. This paper addresses that gap through a comprehensive literature…

In this study, the authors examined a group of related literatures that used the same large-scale nationally representative dataset with algebra achievement as the outcome to explore why results from the same dataset may differ across studies. More specially, the authors synthesized the extant research literature that utilized data from the High…

A primary focus for the Vermont Agency of Education (AOE) has been on increasing student literacy. This focus, coupled with the passage of Act 28 in 2021, which provides funding and technical assistance to improve literacy outcomes, prompted the AOE to request support related to literacy from the Region 1 Comprehensive Center (R1CC). Specifically,…

Several researchers have shown quizzes effectively support college student success; however, instructors can implement quizzes in multiple ways. We conducted a systematic review of the literature on quizzes in undergraduate courses using the PRISMA method (i.e., Moher et al. Public Libr Sci Med 6(7):e1000097, 2009. 10.1371/journal.pmed.1000097).…

Within a three-tiered intervention framework, such as School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, Tier 2 interventions were initially conceived as employing a standard protocol across all at-risk students. Research and practice, however, suggests advantages to adapting interventions so they are tailored to individual student needs.…

This systematic review investigated the topics studied and reporting practices of published meta-analyses in educational measurement. Our findings indicated that meta-analysis is not a highly utilized methodological tool in educational measurement; on average, less than one meta-analysis has been published per year over the past 30 years (28…

In this paper we present the results of a survey of research studies on the learning of multivariable calculus in a wide geographic spectrum. The goal of this study is to describe what research results tell us about students' learning of calculus of two-variable functions, and how they inform its teaching. In spite of the diversity of cultures and…
