Ngo, Vy; Perez Lacera, Luisa; Closser, Avery Harrison; Ottmar, Erin – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
For students to advance beyond arithmetic, they must learn how to attend to the structure of math notation. This process can be challenging due to students' left-to-right computing tendencies. Brackets are used in mathematics to indicate precedence but can also be used as superfluous cues and perceptual grouping mechanisms in instructional…

Liu, Kawai; Wu, Julius – Asian Journal of Education and Training, 2021
We examined the potential different effectiveness of an online homework system (IXL) and the traditional paper-and-pencil homework. A study involving 98 participants was conducted in a middle school (grade 8). We compared the post-test results from the online homework group with the traditional homework group. Both homework assignment effect…

Fyfe, Emily R. – Grantee Submission, 2016
Homework is transforming at a rapid rate with continuous advances in educational technology. Computer-based homework, in particular, is gaining popularity across a range of schools, with little empirical evidence on how to optimize student learning. The current aim was to test the effects of different types of feedback on computer-based homework.…

Kirvan, Rebecca; Rakes, Christopher R.; Zamora, Regie – Computers in the Schools, 2015
The present study investigated whether flipping an algebra classroom led to a stronger focus on conceptual understanding and improved learning of systems of linear equations for 54 seventh- and eighth-grade students using teacher journal data and district-mandated unit exam items. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to compare scores on…

Omlin-Ruback, Holly I. – ProQuest LLC, 2009
After spending the day learning in elementary school, most children across the United States are given "homework," assignments to be completed outside of the regular school day. Most research on homework conducted in elementary schools focuses on the relationship between achievement and time spent on homework. Little, if any, research…

Else-Quest, Nicole M.; Hyde, Janet S.; Hejmadi, Ahalya – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2008
Mathematics is often thought of as a purely intellectual and unemotional activity. Recently, researchers have begun to question the validity of this approach, arguing that emotions and cognition are intertwined. The emotions expressed during mathematics work may be linked to mathematics achievement. We used behavioral measures to identify the…
