Robert C. Schoen; Catherine C. Lewis; Christopher Rhoads; Kevin Lai; Claire M. Riddell – Journal of Experimental Education, 2024
Lesson study, especially when conducted with support from targeted resources, is often identified as a potentially effective means to support teacher learning. In this study, 80 school-based teams of educators, representing 80 classrooms of third- or fourth-grade students in the US, were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: lesson study…

Megan Conrad; David Shuster – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2024
Background: Performance with fractions has been a weak point in U.S. education for decades and has not improved in recent years (Siegler, 2017). High School math teachers frequently rate their students' knowledge of fractions as "poor" and see this lack of foundational knowledge as one of the top barriers to students mastering algebra…

Amber Y. Wang; Lynn S. Fuchs; Kristopher J. Preacher; Douglas Fuchs; Amelia S. Malone; Rachel Pachmayr – Grantee Submission, 2019
The study has two primary purposes. The first was to examine the efficacy of the "Super Solvers" Fractions Intervention (SSFI) for third-grade students at risk for mathematics learning disabilities (MLD). The second was to test the added value of embedding self-regulation instruction into the SSFI. Students were randomly assigned to a…

Schoen, Robert C.; LaVenia, Mark; Tazaz, Amanda M. – Online Submission, 2018
Mathematics teacher professional-development (PD) programs based on Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) have been developed and implemented with tens of thousands of elementary mathematics teachers worldwide since the 1980s. Starting with a focus on addition and subtraction on whole numbers in the first CGI PD program, the content of these…

Wang, Amber Y.; Fuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas; Gilbert, Jennifer K.; Krowka, Sarah; Abramson, Rebecca – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2019
The purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy of fractions intervention with and without an embedded self-regulation (SR) component for third-grade students at risk for mathematics disabilities. Fractions intervention focused on magnitude understanding and word problems. Embedded SR was designed to support a growth mindset (fostering…

Krowka, Sarah K. – ProQuest LLC, 2019
The purpose of the study was to explore the cognitive profiles associated with inadequate responsiveness to fractions intervention on 3 fractions outcomes (calculations, ordering, and word problems). At the start of 3rd grade, 2 cohorts of students (N = 124) identified at the start of intervention as at-risk for mathematics difficulties were…

Ilyas, Bhutto Muhammad; Qazi, Wasim; Rawai, Khalid Jamil – Bulletin of Education and Research, 2014
A 6-day (April 11th to 16th, 2011) experimental study as a part of Continuous Professional Development was launched at three districts i.e. Dadu, Naushahro Feroz, Mirpurkhas to enable public sector primary school teachers (PSTs) to translate the abstract concepts of fractions (grade 2 to 5) into concrete learning using low or no cost available…
