Barriers to well-being detract from teachers' effectiveness, however there is limited understanding of exactly how this occurs. We explored whether fourth grade teachers' (N=65) burnout symptoms related to their lesson length in mathematics, science, and English Language Arts, and to time in each of three classroom groupings. Multiple regression…

The purpose of this quantitative ex post-facto study was to determine if differences exist in 4th-grade students' reading and math learning outcomes between co-taught classrooms and traditional classrooms in a Florida public school district. The study was conducted with archival data from the school district's fall and winter progress monitoring…

Competence with rational numbers is essential for mathematics proficiency in secondary mathematics. However, many students struggle with rational number concepts, and students with mathematics difficulties struggle even more. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an intervention that incorporated the use of explicit instruction…

Aim/Purpose: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a tessellation-based instructional program supported by digital technologies for enhancing geometric learning in primary school pupils.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of utilizing explicit instruction, point-of-view video modeling, and augmented reality technology to teach mathematics to students with disabilities. A multiple probe single-case research design was used. Three students with Learning Disabilities (LD) who were receiving special education…

The present study explored associations among teachers' anxiety for teaching mathematics, science, and English language arts and their students' own anxiety in each content area, and how these associations varied depending on student sex and socioeconomic status (SES). Participants included 33 fourth-grade teachers and 463 students from 14 schools…

This study examines the extent to which primary school students are motivated to learn two significant academic subjects, namely mathematics and English as a foreign language (EFL). Additionally, it explores the trends in motivational levels as students advance through different grades. It is crucial to track both intrinsic and extrinsic…

Purpose and Method of Study: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two approaches to professional development methodologies implemented in public schools. A quantitative, correlational research design was employed to determine whether the academic success in the core content areas of reading, writing, math and science could…

In this quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study we examined the effects of differentiated instruction (DI) in within-class ability groupings of 246 Montenegrin fourth-graders and their ability to solve algebraic equations. We assessed 2 parallel student groups at equal achievement levels to compare DI, in which teaching and work modes were…

This report describes a randomized controlled study that compared the personalization of educational content based on neural networks to personalization by human experts. The study was conducted in a graphically rich online learning environment for elementary school mathematics, in which N = 135 fourth- and sixth-grade students learn via…

In a social cognitive framework, teacher feedback is a relational influence that is particularly significant in shaping learners' vocational self-concept during childhood--a critical stage for career development. This study examines the relationships among perceived teacher feedback, children's competence perceptions, interests, and achievement in…

The purpose of this evaluation was to examine the impact of i-Ready Personalized Instruction on math achievement, as measured by SBA scores. We compared students in schools using i-Ready Personalized Instruction school-wide (Treatment students) and students who only received i-Ready Diagnostic assessments and who were in schools only partially…

This study examines the impact of an online math learning program on third through fifth grade math achievement in Louisiana. Employing Zearn Math usage metrics and administrative data from the Louisiana Department of Education, the results indicate that grade levels that programmatically used Zearn Math scored, on average, about .03 standard…

Teachers have long struggled with the tension between ensuring a rigorous education for all their students and the reality that students arrive at the start of a school year with vastly different skills and conceptual understandings. The tension can be even more acute in math, which relies heavily on students mastering foundational concepts in…
