Caleon, Imelda S.; Wui, Ma. Glenda L. – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2019
This two-wave study examined the cross-lagged relations between teacher-student relatedness (student-teacher communication, teacher trust, and teacher alienation) and reading achievement of academically at-risk secondary students (N = 787) in Singapore. Compared with the cohort, these students had lower aggregate scores in a national examination…

Richmond, Ashley D.; Laursen, Brett; Stattin, Håkan – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2019
This study examined age-related changes in friend similarity on delinquency to determine whether deviant behavior homophily peaks during mid-adolescence. A community sample of 1,663 male and 1,826 female Swedish youth from Grade 5 (M = 11.21 years) to Grade 10 (M = 16.25 years) provided self-reports of delinquency. Friendships were identified from…

Sailor, Johanna – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Nationwide, middle school students are transitioning to high school without being able to read at grade level. This occurs despite schools adopting Response to Intervention systems to provide additional reading instruction to those who are reading below grade-level. This study examined students' posttest reading comprehension scores to determine…

Goodwin, Amanda P.; Petscher, Yaacov; Tock, Jamie – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2020
Purpose: The current study takes a practical and theoretically grounded look at assessment of morphological knowledge and its potential to deepen understanding of how morphological knowledge supports reading comprehension for students with limited reading vocabulary. Specifically, we explore how different morphological skills support reading…

Haymon, Clarissa; Wilson, Andrea – Journal of Educational Research and Practice, 2020
Guided by the theory of differentiated instruction, this quantitative study evaluated the effectiveness of Achieve 3000, a technology-enhanced program for differentiating reading instruction. Achieve 3000 was fully implemented with fidelity in a local middle school that has a large percentage of advanced learners. Archived reading scores of 120…

Lamond, Bronwyn; Cunningham, Todd – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2020
This research examined Grade 6-10 Ontario Certified Teachers' (n = 24) perceptions of assistive technology (AT) and the factors correlated with perceived usefulness of AT. A mixed methods design that included a survey consisting of open- and closed-ended items elicited information about teachers' AT knowledge and training, their basic computer…

Nelson, Peter M.; Pulles, Sandra M.; Parker, David C.; Klaft, Jenna – School Psychology, 2020
Although it is common for researchers to assess implementation fidelity (IF) within the context of math intervention, IF assessments are often restricted to intervention adherence. Further, the degree to which IF influences observed outcomes is commonly ignored. The current study examined the relationship between three aspects of IF and the math…

Bryce, Crystal I.; Alexander, Brittany L.; Fraser, Ashley M.; Fabes, Richard A. – Psychology in the Schools, 2020
Hope--a multidimensional positive motivational state--is particularly salient with adolescents in the school setting. Cognitive hope focuses on goal attainment cognitions whereas behavioral hope focuses on actions required for goal attainment. Studies rarely examine the contribution of each type of hope to adolescents' academic functioning and…

Monopoli, W. John; Margherio, Samantha M.; Evans, Steven W.; Xiang, Joe; Brickner, Megan A.; Langberg, Joshua M. – Journal of School Violence, 2020
Youth with ADHD are more at-risk for peer victimization than their typically developing peers, and may not be benefiting from current interventions. Thus, we sought to examine risk (i.e., anxiety, depression, and forms of aggression) and protective (i.e., social skills and social acceptance) factors for peer victimization in this group.…

Champion, Joe; Crawford, Angela R.; Carney, Michele – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2020
One of the most intransigent problems in mathematics education is the culturally-influenced divide between classroom practice and educational research. This paper describes our explicit attempt to bridge that divide by translating research on instructional practices linked to improving students' mathematics achievement into a brief guide outlining…

Anderson, Daniel; Kahn, Joshua D.; Tindal, Gerald – Applied Measurement in Education, 2017
Unidimensionality and local independence are two common assumptions of item response theory. The former implies that all items measure a common latent trait, while the latter implies that responses are independent, conditional on respondents' location on the latent trait. Yet, few tests are truly unidimensional. Unmodeled dimensions may result in…

Miller, Catherine M. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2017
This article describes a project in which students investigate the question: What dihedral angles between pairs of mirrors in a kaleidoscope result in perfectly symmetric images? The unit culminates with students building their own kaleidoscopes. This content aligns with parts of the Common Core's standards for fifth grade (classify…
