Zafrani, Eran; Yarden, Anat – Science Education, 2022
This study seeks to understand why dialogic argumentation has not been adopted as a legitimate means of instruction by science teachers. To answer this question, this qualitative case study examines the mutually constitutive relationships between macrolevel phenomena, such as the taken-for-granted institutional mandates that teachers and schools…

Kaur, Jaskanwaljeet; Balasubramaniam, Ramesh – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
The serial reaction time task (SRTT) is commonly used to study motor learning and memory. The task is traditionally administered in a lab setting with participants responding via button box or keyboard to targets on a screen. By comparing response times of sequential versus random trials and accuracy across sequential trials, different forms of…

Neumann, David J. – Social Education, 2022
This article argues that the best way to increase inquiry-based instruction is paradoxically to pay more attention to direct instruction because excessive attention to practices like close reading of texts and facilitating text-based discussions has led to neglect of content knowledge explanation as a core instructional practice. This article…

Carlisle, Lindsay M.; VanUitert, Victoria J.; McDonald, Sean M.; Kunemund, Rachel; Kennedy, Michael J. – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2022
Topics presented in content area courses at the secondary level are often comprised of specialized and/or multiple-meaning vocabulary terms that can challenge students' understanding. Additionally, gaps in relevant knowledge from prior learning experiences in earlier grade levels may further impede comprehension of content area concepts. This is…

Myers, Joy; Tracy, Kelly; Wall, Amanda; Smetana, Linda D.; Ikpeze, Chinwe H.; Kline, Sonia M.; Raskauskas, Jenn; Scales, Roya Q.; McQuitty, Vicki; Hickey, Pamela – Reading Horizons, 2022
A team of teacher education researchers conducted a qualitative study to explore how teacher candidates viewed the teacher's role in teaching students to write. Participants (N = 107) enrolled in writing-focused methods courses across four universities completed a reflective quick write near the end of the course. Since writing is a complex and…

Ekol, George; Greenop, Sarah – European Educational Researcher, 2023
Minimal guidance or maximal independence? How can teachers achieve that complex balance when teaching mathematics? In this pre-and post-test quasi-experimental research study, the authors explored the above broad questions in Grade 10 Financial Mathematics following guided discovery and mathematical modelling principles. Fifty-four (54) Grade 10…

Tiba, Chantyclaire – Reading & Writing: Journal of the Literacy Association of South Africa, 2023
Background: Teachers are important role players in improving literacy; however, they lack the expertise to explicitly teach reading comprehension strategies. Studies have showed that when teachers are motivated to explicitly teach reading comprehension strategies in their classrooms, learners' comprehension is improved. Objective: The aim of the…

Fisher, Douglas; Frey, Nancy; Lapp, Diane – Journal of Education, 2023
The term "balanced literacy" was popularized in the mid-1990s to describe a middle ground in terms of text selection, instruction, skills, and strategies. The intention was to merge the promising elements of whole language and phonics. Interactions with educators and literacy leaders across the country currently suggest that a term that…

Fletcher, Jack M.; Savage, Robert; Vaughn, Sharon – Educational Psychology Review, 2021
Bowers ("Educational Psychology Review," 32, 681-705, 2020) reviewed 12 meta-analytic syntheses addressing the effects of phonics instruction, concluding that the evidence is weak to nonexistent in supporting the superiority of systematic phonics to alternative reading methods. We identify five issues that limit Bowers' conclusions: (1)…

Roberts, Theresa A. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2021
In this article, I illustrate how research from cognitive science and the science of reading can inform research on the science of reading instruction. This purpose is accomplished by focusing on four recently published randomized control trials of instruction designed to teach alphabet letters to 3- and 4-year-old children (N = 342) attending…

Burton, Lauren; Nunes, Terezinha; Evangelou, Maria – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Background: Intervention studies have reported the advantage of teaching children about morphemes for spelling, but direct comparisons between explicit and implicit teaching have been examined systematically in relation to only a few morphological rules. Aims: This study compared explicit versus implicit teaching of the functional rule for the…
