The MITCA method (Homework Implementation Method) was developed with the purpose of turning homework into an educational resource capable of improving students' self-regulated learning and school engagement. In this paper, following current theoretical frameworks, we evaluate the effect of the MITCA method on students' self-regulated learning. In…

Math self-competence beliefs, namely, math self-efficacy and math self-concept, are crucial factors in sustaining math learning. Since there is a lack of literature on interventions targeting math self-competence beliefs in middle school students, the aim of this systematic review is to provide a narrative synthesis of the characteristics of…

This study investigated how a self-regulated learning intervention, implemented within a personalized learning environment, affected students' self-regulation, self-efficacy, and academic achievement at a middle school. The personalized learning environment in this study was two self-paced units within middle school seventh grade math classrooms.…

Progress monitoring data provide important information on student functioning in response to an intervention. Yet, there are several barriers to effective progress monitoring of internalizing symptoms among youth. To address these concerns, the current paper conceptualized the use of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) as a service delivery…

The purpose of the present study was to explore the voices of high- and low-achieving middle school students around the function and utility of a student-engaged design learning how to learn intervention. The intervention was a year-long standard elective course in the curriculum in which all students enrolled during their time in middle school.…

Students with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) tend to have difficulty regulating their emotions and behaviors, which can have adverse academic and social effects (e.g., academic underachievement, failing grades, grade retention, suspensions, expulsions, school dropout, and peer rejection). Possible interventions that have…

This study sought to examine the effectiveness of math problem solving interventions with self-regulated learning (SRL) components on the math problem-solving performance of middle school students with disabilities. A meta-analysis was conducted of all single-case design studies meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria between 2000-2021, resulting in…

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is characterized by impulsivity and deficits in executive functioning. Given this, individuals with FASD might particularly benefit from interventions that teach them to manage their own behavior in a more adaptive manner. Using a reversal (ABAB) design, the current study investigated the effects of a…

Mathematics literacy, which encompasses vital life skills such as learning to communicate and justify reasoning, is important for all people throughout their lives. Technology tools such as technology-based graphic organizers (TBGOs) provide universal accessibility supports for learners who experience difficulties with a variety of aspects of…

An 11-year-old U.S. fifth grader with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) participated in a writing intervention using the self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) approach for story writing. The child summarized stories adapted from the Read Works® website using POW (Pick my idea, Organize my notes, and Write and say more) and WWW,…

The purpose of this study was to develop and explore the factor structure of the Student Engagement in Social-Emotional Learning Skills (SE-SELS) survey, a newly designed assessment that assesses students' knowledge and use of five social-emotional learning skills (self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and…

Classroom management is commonly challenging in middle schools. Class-wide function-related intervention teams (CW-FIT) is a multi-tiered intervention designed to decrease problem behaviors at the classroom level. It is comprised of evidence-based practices such as teaching classroom expectations, increasing teacher praise, and using positive…

Middle school students with social and behavioral concerns need additional support. The current study investigated the effects of class-wide function-related intervention teams adapted for middle school contexts (CW-FIT MS) and self-management (SM) in a sixth-grade reading class. CW-FIT MS was implemented, subsequently, for students with data…

Teaching middle school students with learning disabilities strategies for writing essays that incorporate information from source texts helps prepare them for academic success. The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the effects of self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) writing instruction using technology tools implemented by…
