Jing Liu; Julie Cohen – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2021
Valid and reliable measurements of teaching quality facilitate school-level decision-making and policies pertaining to teachers. Using nearly 1,000 word-to-word transcriptions of fourth- and fifth-grade English language arts classes, we apply novel text-as-data methods to develop automated measures of teaching to complement classroom observations…

Jing Liu; Julie Cohen – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2020
Valid and reliable measurements of teaching quality facilitate school-level decision-making and policies pertaining to teachers, but conventional classroom observations are costly, prone to rater bias, and hard to implement at scale. Using nearly 1,000 word-to-word transcriptions of 4th- and 5th-grade English language arts classes, we apply novel…

Meyer, Jennifer; Jansen, Thorben; Hübner, Nicolas; Lüdtke, Oliver – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Students' academic achievement is a central predictor of a long list of important educational outcomes, such as access to higher education and socioeconomic success. Prior studies have extensively focused on identifying variables that are related to academic achievement and an important variable in this context appears to be students' personality.…

Flunger, Barbara; Trautwein, Ulrich; Nagengast, Benjamin; Lüdtke, Oliver; Niggli, Alois; Schnyder, Inge – Journal of Experimental Education, 2021
The present study illustrates the utility of applying multilevel mixture models in educational research, using data on the homework behavior of 1,812 Swiss eighth-grade students in French as a second language. A previous person-centered study identified 5 homework learning types characterized by different patterns of high or low homework time and…

Psyridou, Maria; Tolvanen, Asko; Patel, Priyanka; Khanolainen, Daria; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina; Poikkeus, Anna-Maija; Torppa, Minna – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2023
Purpose: We aim to identify the most accurate model for predicting adolescent (Grade 9) reading difficulties (RD) in reading fluency and reading comprehension using 17 kindergarten-age variables. Three models (neural networks, linear, and mixture) were compared based on their accuracy in predicting RD. We also examined whether the same or a…

Kanniainen, Laura; Kiili, Carita; Tolvanen, Asko; Aro, Mikko; Leppänen, Paavo H. T. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
The present study evaluated the extent to which literacy skills (reading fluency, written spelling, and reading comprehension), together with nonverbal reasoning, prior knowledge, and gender, are related to students' online research and comprehension (ORC) performance. The ORC skills of 426 sixth graders were measured using a Finnish adaptation of…

François, Jennifer; Albakry, Mohammed – Language Learning & Technology, 2021
While fluency in second language speaking can be a challenging construct to measure, it is important to identify the discourse features that contribute to it. This small-scale classroom research project examined the effect of formulaic language sequences on fluency as measured by computer-based speaking tasks of young English learners. Thirty-six…

Predicting Eight Grade Students' Equation Solving Performances via Concepts of Variable and Equality
Ertekin, Erhan – Online Submission, 2017
This study focused on how two algebraic concepts- equality and variable- predicted 8th grade students' equation solving performance. In this study, predictive design as a correlational research design was used. Randomly selected 407 eight-grade students who were from the central districts of a city in the central region of Turkey participated in…

Virgin, Robb – Social Studies, 2014
Many school districts across North America have turned to a framework for curriculum design and instruction called "Understanding by Design." Included in the framework is a call for teachers to create "essential questions" that provocatively ask students to consider and learn the "big ideas and core processes within the…

Yoon, Susan A.; Yom, Jessica Koehler; Yang, Zhitong; Liu, Lei – Teachers College Record, 2017
Background: Recent research investigating the conditions under which science teachers can successfully implement science education reforms suggests that focusing only on professional development to improve content knowledge and teaching skills--often referred to as human capital--may not be enough. Increasingly, possessing social capital, defined…
