Valid and reliable measurements of teaching quality facilitate school-level decision-making and policies pertaining to teachers. Using nearly 1,000 word-to-word transcriptions of fourth- and fifth-grade English language arts classes, we apply novel text-as-data methods to develop automated measures of teaching to complement classroom observations…

With the changes in the Tennessee standards, the testing format has become more rigorous. Teachers who usually made high achievement scores in math, now struggle to adapt to teaching the new TNReady standards and prepare for the TNReady assessment (high stakes assessment). The school selected for this study was a Level 1 (on a 1-5 scale, 1 being…

Liu, Allison S.; Rutherford, Teomara; Karamarkovich, Sarah M. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Cognitive, numeracy, and motivational factors have been implicated in math achievement. However, few studies have investigated these factors simultaneously and in middle childhood, limiting our understanding of the relative contributions of these factors during an important developmental period. The current study investigated how one numeracy,…

Çigdemir, Seval – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2022
This study aims to examine the individual and environmental factors affecting the reading comprehension level through the structural equation model. To test the research questions, the relational scanning model, one of the quantitative research methods, was adopted. The research was conducted in Ankara in the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 academic…

Martin, Patrice R. – ProQuest LLC, 2022
As students' reading proficiency gaps persist across the United States, educational leaders have turned to alternative methods to foster effective instructional literacy practices. One approach to combat this dilemma is the implementation of scripted reading programs. The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of scripted reading…

Kristi Marie Payne – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) reading and academic progress in the programs of Istation and Star Renaissance (Star Ren) in fourth grade special education students. Special education students in the selected school district appear to produce inconsistent…

Oh, Min Hyun; Mancilla-Martinez, Jeannette – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2021
Purpose: Despite the unprecedented growth of Spanish-English dual language learners (DLLs) in new destination states--where DLLs have not been historically served--empirical understanding of their language and literacy skills is scant. Drawing on scientific understandings of bilingual language acquisition, we compare monolingually scored and…

Casale, Gino; Volpe, Robert J.; Briesch, Amy M.; Hennemann, Thomas; Grosche, Michael – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2021
Direct Behavior Rating (DBR) has been proposed as a promising approach to assess student behavioral progress in classroom settings. The current study examines raters and occasions as well as their interactions as sources of error in the use of DBR--Multi-Item Scales (DBR-MIS) and DBR--Single-Item Scales (DBR-SIS) for academically engaged (AE) and…

Kwon, Hyunkyung; Capraro, Mary Margaret – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2021
Problem-posing activities have been shown to motivate students' learning while promoting a multifaceted and interesting educational environment. Moreover, these activities enable students to be engaged in personal interpretations of their own mathematical thinking. The purpose of this study was to determine if using a handson learning intervention…

Kang, Melissa; Bedard, Anne-Claude; Martinussen, Rhonda – Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2021
Although students with stronger executive functions (EFs) tend to do better on math computation (MC) assessments than students with weaker EFs, stressful testing situations may lower or affect their mathematical ability. Rumination is one maladaptive coping strategy that can negatively affect EF processes, but little is known about how it impacts…

Marcela Veselkova – European Education, 2024
Students living in poverty tend to perform worse in school than their peers from better-off families. This paper examines whether computer availability helps narrow down educational inequalities in Slovakia, using TIMSS and PIRLS data. The results show that computer availability in reading lessons improves reading scores and that the effect is…

Lea Vergara Mendoza – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The problem is that translations of language in standardized mathematics tests are not provided, which reduces the achievement scores of native-Spanish-speaking English language learners (ELLs) in Grades 4 and 8. The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to explore teachers' perceptions of language translation for the National Assessment of…
