Hidayat, Toni; Rustaman, Nuryani; Siahaan, Parsaoran – Journal of Science Learning, 2021
Science textbooks only present scientific facts that cause the textbooks to seem not to promote scientific reasoning. Science learning also becomes not in line with the nature of Science. Then, Science learning requires applying authentic Science as an approach. Adapted Primary Literature (APL) is assumed to be able to achieve this objective.…

Direct linkYael Grinshtain; Shirley Miedijensky; Alexander Zibenberg – Rural Special Education Quarterly, 2024
Drawing on the bioecological theory developed by Bronfenbrenner, the researchers of this study examined four environmental systems--microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem--for gifted children in Israel as perceived by their parents, focusing on a comparison between rural and central contexts. The rural context comprises peripheral…

Soland, James; Thum, Yeow Meng – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
Sources of longitudinal achievement data are increasing thanks partially to the expansion of available interim assessments. These tests are often used to monitor the progress of students, classrooms, and schools within and across school years. Yet, few statistical models equipped to approximate the distinctly seasonal patterns in the data exist,…

Understandings of the nature of scientific inquiry (NOSI), as opposed to engaging students in inquiry learning experiences, are included in science education reform documents around the world. However, little is known about what students have learned about NOSI during their pre-college school years. The purpose of this large-scale follow-up…

Wang, Ying; Sperling, Rayne A. – Metacognition and Learning, 2021
While many studies of monitoring accuracy have been conducted with college students, less is known about middle school students' monitoring accuracy, especially in Asian countries. Prior research also found discrepancies in students' monitoring accuracy between Western and Asian cultures. To understand and support Chinese middle school students'…

Jace'Karmon Thomas – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Errors in mathematics are common hurdles for teachers and students; therefore, it is important to learn what errors students make and how students treat them. This study initially identified the types of errors students made while working with algebraic expressions and documented and analyzed the process of students completing an error analysis…

Wolff, Fabian; Wigfield, Allan; Möller, Jens; Dicke, Anna-Lena; Eccles, Jacquelynne Sue – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
The present research examined the joint effects of social, dimensional, and temporal comparisons on students' academic self-concepts and parents' beliefs about their children's competencies during students' transition phase from elementary school to junior high school. To this end, we tested the newly developed 2I/E model using longitudinal data…

Zhang, Yanhong; Xi, Jiao – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2023
Research into metacognition has found it to facilitate self-regulation and correlate to learners' L2 writing level. Following Lee & Mak's (2018) framework of Metacognitive Instruction (MI) for L2 writing classrooms, this study applies Dynamic Assessment (DA) to writing MI (MI-DA) in a rural middle school EFL class in China. A one-semester…

Wu, Lin; Valcke, Martin; Van Keer, Hilde – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
Reading strategies have been documented as beneficial facilitators for readers to understand text; their potential efficacy, however, has not yet adequately assessed among struggling readers in the context of a large number of students below grade level at secondary schools internationally. Using a pretest-posttest control group experimental…

Atteberry, Allison; Wedow, Robbee; Cook, Nathan J.; McEachin, Andrew – Educational Policy, 2022
Using a dataset that includes over 17 million students from across all 50 states, we estimate the causal impact of making structural transitions into middle school (in grades 4, 5, 6, or 7) on student math and reading achievement trajectories. This dataset provides an ideal opportunity to engage in the valuable scientific practice of conducting…
