Comparing Meta-Analysis and Individual Person Data Analysis Using Raw Data on Children's Understanding of Equivalence
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hornburg, Caroline Byrd; Wang, Lijuan; McNeil, Nicole M. – Child Development, 2018
A prevailing theory of mathematical problem solving predicts that children will be less accurate solving a + b = c + __ problems versus a + b = __ + c. However, this has never been tested directly. Because of low base rates, information combined from multiple studies can help improve estimation accuracy and precision. This study compared…

The Effects of Early Numeracy Interventions for Students in Preschool and Early Elementary: A Meta-Analysis
Direct linkDirect link
Nelson, Gena – ProQuest LLC, 2017
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to examine the effectiveness of early numeracy interventions for young students, including students with disabilities or those at-risk for mathematics difficulty (MD). This study evaluated preschool, kindergarten, and first-grade interventions on early numeracy content, instructional features, and…

A Meta-Analysis of Working Memory Deficits in Children with Learning Difficulties: Is There a Difference between Verbal Domain and Numerical Domain?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Peng, Peng; Fuchs, Douglas – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2016
Children with learning difficulties suffer from working memory (WM) deficits. Yet the specificity of deficits associated with different types of learning difficulties remains unclear. Further research can contribute to our understanding of the nature of WM and the relationship between it and learning difficulties. The current meta-analysis…

Understanding the Cognition Related to Mathematics Difficulties: A Meta-Analysis on the Cognitive Deficit Profiles and the Bottleneck Theory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Peng, Peng; Wang, Cuicui; Namkung, Jessica – Review of Educational Research, 2018
The current study investigated the cognitive deficit profiles among individuals with mathematics difficulties (MD) and potential moderators and mechanism for these profiles. Seventy-five cognitive profiling studies on MD were included, representing a total of 13,001 individuals and 126 independent samples. Results showed that compared with…

Quantifying Variation in Head Start Effects on Young Children's Cognitive and Socio-Emotional Skills Using Data from the National Head Start Impact Study
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Bloom, Howard S.; Weiland, Christina – MDRC, 2015
This paper uses data from the Head Start Impact Study (HSIS), a nationally representative multisite randomized trial, to quantify variation in effects of Head Start during 2002-2003 on children's cognitive and socio-emotional outcomes relative to the effects of other local alternatives, including parent care. We find that (1) treatment and control…

A Meta-Analysis of Comparative Studies on Chinese and US Students' Mathematics Performance: Implications for Mathematics Education Reform and Research
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wang, Jian; Lin, Emily – Educational Research Review, 2009
US and China are reforming mathematics teaching by shifting from students' attainment of facts and procedures toward development of competencies in reasoning, communication, connections, and problem solving, and application of these in real life contexts. Differences in students' overall performance, curricula, and teachers' knowledge and…
