Braund, Martin; Moodley, Trevor; Ekron, Christelle; Ahmed, Zaiboenisha – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2015
Drama is used to build knowledge and understanding in science as part of a socio-linguistic, constructivist approach. Role-plays, where learners act as analogues for components and processes, help access abstract ideas. However, a problem restricting many science teachers using these approaches has been that they lack sufficient pedagogical…

Felton, Mark; Garcia-Mila, Merce; Villarroel, Constanza; Gilabert, Sandra – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2015
Background: There is growing interest in using argumentative discourse in educational settings. However, in a previous study, we found that discourse goals (persuasion vs. consensus) while arguing can affect student outcomes in both content learning and reasoning. Aims: In this study, we look at argumentative discourse data from a previous study…

Liu, In-mao; Chou, Ting-hsi – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2015
How likely is the glass to break, given that it is heated? The present study asks questions such as this with or without the premise "if the glass is heated, it breaks." A reduced problem (question without premise) measures the statistical dependency (conditional probability) of an event to occur, given that another has occurred. Such…

Tillema, Erik; Gatza, Andrew – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2015
The study reported on in this paper is an interview study conducted with 20 7th and 8th grade students whose purpose was to understand the generalizations they could make about non-linear meanings of multiplication (NLMM) and non-linear growth (NLG) in the context of solving combinatorics problems. The paper identifies productive challenges for…

John, Rogers Jeffrey Leo; Passonneau, Rebecca J.; McTavish, Thomas S. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2015
Curricula often lack metadata to characterize the relatedness of concepts. To investigate automatic methods for generating relatedness metadata for a mathematics curriculum, we first address the task of identifying which terms in the vocabulary from mathematics word problems are associated with the curriculum. High chance-adjusted interannotator…

Milan Kubiatko – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2015
The animal migration is one of the natural processes and is important not only for animals but also for people. Although this process is inseparable part of the nature, its incorporation into curriculum is on low level, not only in Czech Republic, but also in many other countries. The aim of the research was to identify lower secondary school…

Brasseur-Hock, Irma F.; Miller, Whitney; Washburn, Jocelyn; Chroust, Alyson J.; Hock, Michael F. – International Journal for Research in Learning Disabilities, 2021
We present results of an evaluation of the first year of a multi-year comprehensive middle school reading program. Four public middle schools in rural Virginia with large populations of students with limited reading proficiency participated in a study to determine the reading program's impact. We evaluated 235 students with low reading achievement…

Two decades ago, the New Jersey Supreme Court in "Abbott v. Burke" mandated that the state establish high quality preschool education in the 31 highest-poverty school districts. New Jersey created a pre-K program with high standards and a continuous improvement system that transformed a patchwork of private and public programs into a…

Domingue, Benjamin W.; Hough, Heather J.; Lang, David; Yeatman, Jason – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2021
Education has faced unprecedented disruption during the COVID-19 pandemic; evidence about the subsequent effect on children is of crucial importance. We use data from an oral reading fluency (ORF) assessment--a rapid assessment taking only a few minutes that measures a fundamental reading skill--to examine COVID's effects on children's reading…

Martin, Florence; Wang, Chuang; Petty, Teresa; Wang, Weichao; Wilkins, Patti – Educational Technology & Society, 2018
Cyber bullying, digital identity, impact of digital footprints, and use of inappropriate social media are topics that are gaining attention in K-12 schools. As more schools and school districts are implementing 1-1 and "bring your own technology" initiatives, attention to these topics is becoming increasingly important. A total of 593…

Thomann, Catharine R. B.; Suyemoto, Karen L. – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2018
This qualitative study explored how White youth understand structural racism on an abstract and personalized level and the process of developing these understandings. Structural racism encompasses both institutional racism and the broader effects of racism embedded within social structures. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 16 White…

San, Ismail; Kis, Ali – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2018
Nearly all studies aiming to determine the effect of modern teaching methods on academic success using an experimental design contain control groups in which traditional methods are used. Effect of traditional methods in geometry and numbers learning domains on academic achievement has not been conclusively studied by researchers yet. On the other…

Bringula, Rex P.; Fosgate, Ian Clement O., Jr.; Garcia, Neil Peter R.; Yorobe, Josf Luinico M. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2018
This experimental study investigated the effects of the use of two versions of a pedagogical agent named personal instructing agent (PIA) on the mathematics performance of students. The first version exhibits synthetic facial expressions while the second version does not exhibit facial expression (i.e., neutral facial expression). Two groups of…

Doganca Kucuk, Zerrin; Saysel, Ali Kerem – Research in Science Education, 2018
A systems-based classroom intervention on environmental education was designed for seventh grade students; the results were evaluated to see its impact on the development of systems thinking skills and standard science achievement and whether the systems approach is a more effective way to teach environmental issues that are dynamic and complex. A…
