Camilli, Gregory – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2021
After 25 years with small to moderate gains in performance in mathematics, scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) main assessment declined between 2013 and 2015 in Grades 4 and 8. Previous research has suggested the decline may be linked to the implementation of the "Common Core" state standards. In this…

Erturk, Zafer; Oyar, Esra – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2021
Studies aiming to make cross-cultural comparisons first should establish measurement invariance in the groups to be compared because results obtained from such comparisons may be artificial in the event that measurement invariance cannot be established. The purpose of this study is to investigate the measurement invariance of the data obtained…

Lee, Silvia Wen-Yu; Wu, Hsin-Kai; Chang, Hsin-Yi – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2021
The aim of the study was to investigate students' views of model evaluation through the lens of personal epistemology. We developed an integrated analytical framework by combining a developmental framework, including absolutist, multiplist, and evaluatist, with a multi-dimensional framework, including limits of knowing, certainty of knowing, and…

Sachdeva, Shipra; Eggen, Per-Odd – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2021
Developing critical thinking practices among young learners through mathematics education is a topic of attention for mathematics education research community. Learners' critical thinking concerning cognitive and social aspects of their mathematics education have been explored in several research studies. However, learners' critical thinking…

Swanson, Hillary; Trninic, Dragan – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
Making sense of data is fundamental to science. Yet, the form in which data are represented can make their interpretation challenging for students. We introduce an activity that transformed a data table into an embodied artifact. The activity helped 8th grade students interpret the data to find that cold water warmed "fast-then-slow," in…

Suazo-Flores, Elizabeth; Roetker, Lisa – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
Tasks involving real-world contexts offer opportunities for teachers to engage students in mathematical practices (Standards for Mathematical Practice; NGA Center and CCSSO 2010). The practice of reasoning abstractly and quantitatively requires students to decontextualize and contextualize a task. Decontextualizing a task involves representing it…

Lee, Se Woong; Mao, Xinyi – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
Using the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009, we examine the association between taking Algebra I by the eighth grade and students' later achievements and advanced mathematics course-taking. To explore our research questions, we employ three distinct methods--regression analysis, fixed effects models, and propensity score matching. In all our…

König, Johannes; Blömeke, Sigrid; Jentsch, Armin; Schlesinger, Lena; née Nehls, Caroline Felske; Musekamp, Frank; Kaiser, Gabriele – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2021
It is widely assumed that teachers play a key role in providing high-quality learning opportunities to students and fostering students' learning. Yet it is still unclear how specific teacher knowledge facets as part of their professional competence contribute to classroom processes and learning outcomes. Focusing on mathematics education at the…

Friesen, Doug; Simon, Rob – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2021
In this article, we describe how eighth-grade students and teacher candidates used sound and listening to remix and attune themselves (Stewart, 2011) to the dystopian novel "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury (2011). We situate our sound inquiries in relation to critical literacy (Vasquez, Janks, & Comber, 2019; Wargo, 2019) and sound…

Kizkapan, Oktay; Nacaroglu, Oguzhan – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2021
The aim of this study is to determine the evaluations of eighth grade gifted students towards cloning and to examine the argument structures formed by gifted students. The study was carried out using a case study design, which is one of the qualitative research method designs. The study group of the research consists of 24 gifted students studying…

Lyndsay N. Jenkins; Sonya Snyder Kaminski; Maritza Miller – International Journal of Bullying Prevention, 2021
The current study used latent profile analysis to find subgroups of youth based on bullying participant roles and then compared subgroups on the five bystander intervention steps (Notice, Interpret as an emergency, Accept Responsibility, Know how to Intervene, and Act). The sample included 641 fourth-eighth grade students (44.6% boys) who…

Leong, Yew Hoong – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2023
The phenomenon of teachers designing their own instructional materials is gaining more attention in research. Different aspects of this enterprise have been examined--its potential to reveal the complexity of teachers' instructional planning considerations, the design principles employed by teachers to realise instructional goals, among others. In…

Wang, Chia-Yu – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Teaching with analogies is an important pedagogy that helps learners construct abstract conceptions through reasoning with something familiar. Heat concepts were chosen for this study because they have an intangible nature and involve complex mechanisms that often challenge school-aged learners. Learning this kind of complex concept with analogies…

O'Handley, Roderick D.; Olmi, D. Joe; Dufrene, Brad A.; Radley, Keith C.; Tingstrom, Daniel H. – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2023
Few studies examine the effects of behavior-specific praise (BSP) in secondary classrooms, and there is limited research examining the rate of BSP that is needed to improve classwide appropriately engaged behavior (AEB) and reduce disruptive behavior (DB). Using a multiple baseline design with an embedded A/B/C/A/C condition sequence…

Courtney, Jon R.; Garcia, Janelle Taylor; Rowberry, Jacob; Eckberg, Nathan; Dinces, Sarah M.; Lobaugh, Clayton S.; Tolman, Ryan T. – International Journal of Child Care and Education Policy, 2023
The long-term impact of prekindergarten programs is an important consideration given the trend of dedicating more resources to these programs. However, long-term impact of prekindergarten programs is not well-understood and recent studies have shown preschool effectiveness can vary across states and programs. A state run prekindergarten program in…
