Carroll, David Lawson – ProQuest LLC, 2017
This dissertation examines the reciprocal relationship between text literacy and music literacy through an experimental design. Music teachers and English Language Arts (ELA) teachers often address similar components of literacy, including fluency, comprehension, and symbolic interpretation. The theory of cognitive structuralism maintains that…

Holmes, Joni; Gathercole, Susan Elizabeth – Educational Psychology, 2014
Working memory skills have been shown to be enhanced by adaptive training in several randomised controlled trials. Here, two field trials were conducted in which teachers administered working memory training to their own pupils in school. Twenty-two children aged 8-9?years participated in Trial 1. In Trial 2, 50 children aged 9-11?years with the…

Guan, Connie Qun; Ye, Feifei; Wagner, Richard K.; Meng, Wanjin – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2013
The goal of the present study was to examine the generalizability of a model of the underlying dimensions of written composition across writing systems (Chinese Mandarin vs. English) and level of writing skill. A five-factor model of writing originally developed from analyses of 1st and 4th grade English writing samples was applied to Chinese…

Kanive, Rebecca; Nelson, Peter M.; Burns, Matthew K.; Ysseldyke, James – Journal of Educational Research, 2014
The authors' purpose was to determine the effects of computer-based practice and conceptual interventions on computational fluency and word-problem solving of fourth- and fifth-grade students with mathematics difficulties. A randomized pretest-posttest control group design found that students assigned to the computer-based practice intervention…

Guo, Jian-peng; Pang, Ming Fai – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2011
In experiment 1, novice fourth-grade students (N = 92) who compared multiple examples that separately varied each critical aspect and then simultaneously varied all critical aspects developed better conceptual knowledge about the "altitude of a triangle" than students who compared multiple examples that did not separately vary each critical aspect…

Glago, Karen; Mastropieri, Margo A.; Scruggs, Thomas E. – Remedial and Special Education, 2009
Twenty-one 4th- and 5th-grade students with learning disabilities and emotional disabilities were assigned at random to a control condition or to an experimental condition in which they were taught, over a 9-week period, a five-step self-determination strategy for solving school- or home-related problems. Maintenance was assessed 3 weeks after the…

Lionetti, Timothy M.; Cole, Christine L. – Education and Treatment of Children, 2004
This study compared the effects of two different listening while reading (LWR) rates on words correct per minute, accuracy, generalization, and comprehension for four 4th- and 5th-graders. It was hypothesized the effects of LWR would increase as the rate of LWR more closely approximated the reader's actual oral reading rate. An alternating…

Spencer, Sue; Logan, Kent – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2005
This study examined the effects of providing explicit metacognitive instruction prior to cognitive strategy instruction on students' with learning disabilities ability to generalize a vocabulary strategy learned in a special education setting to a general education setting. The subjects were eight elementary school students with learning…
