Daniela Alvarez-Vargas; Sirui Wan; Lynn S. Fuchs; Alice Klein; Drew H. Bailey – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Despite policy relevance, longer-term evaluations of educational interventions are relatively rare. A common approach to this problem has been to rely on longitudinal research to determine targets for intervention by looking at the correlation between children's early skills (e.g., preschool numeracy) and medium-term outcomes (e.g., first-grade…

Lynn S. Fuchs; Amelia S. Malone; Kristopher J. Preacher; Eunsoo Cho; Douglas Fuchs; Paul Changas – Exceptional Children, 2023
This study's first purpose was to investigate effects of a fourth- and fifth-grade "next-generation" fraction intervention, which included six enhancements over a previously validated fraction intervention, designed to address career- and college-readiness standards. The study's second purpose was to assess effects of the next-generation…

Lynn S. Fuchs; Amelia S. Malone; Kristopher J. Preacher; Eunsoo Cho; Douglas Fuchs; Paul Changas – Grantee Submission, 2022
This study's 1st purpose was to investigate effects of a 4th- and 5th-grade "next-generation" fraction intervention, which included 6 enhancements over a previously validated fraction intervention, designed to address Career- and College-Readiness standards. The next-generation intervention is referred to as "Super Solvers."…

Building Word-Problem Solving and Working Memory Capacity: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Three Intervention Approaches
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lynn S. Fuchs; Douglas Fuchs; Sonya K. Sterba; Marcia A. Barnes; Pamela M. Seethaler; Paul Changas – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
This study's purpose was to investigate effects of 3 intervention approaches for building working memory (WM) and improving word-problem solving (WPS). Children with mathematics difficulties (n = 240; 7.51 years [SD = 0.33]) were randomized to 4 conditions: a control group, general WM training with contiguous math practice, WPS intervention…
