Burkholder, E. W.; Miles, J. K.; Layden, T. J.; Wang, K. D.; Fritz, A. V.; Wieman, C. E. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
We introduce a template to (i) scaffold the problem solving process for students in the physics 1 course, and (ii) serve as a generic rubric for measuring how expertlike students are in their problem solving. This template is based on empirical studies of the problem solving practices of expert scientists and engineers, unlike most existing…

Lecusay, Robert – International Journal for Research on Extended Education, 2014
There is widespread agreement that further research is needed in order to identify afterschool program characteristics useful for understanding why some programs are more successful than others. The bulk of recommendations put forth by researchers, practitioners and policy makers focus on observable characteristics of the afterschool setting as a…

Adams, Deanne M.; Pilegard, Celeste; Mayer, Richard E. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2016
Learning physics often requires overcoming common misconceptions based on naïve interpretations of observations in the everyday world. One proposed way to help learners build appropriate physics intuitions is to expose them to computer simulations in which motion is based on Newtonian principles. In addition, playing video games that require…

Lopez, Enrique J.; Shavelson, Richard J.; Nandagopal, Kiruthiga; Szu, Evan; Penn, John – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
Problem solving is a highly valued skill in chemistry. Courses within this discipline place a substantial emphasis on problem-solving performance and tend to weigh such performance heavily in assessments of learning. Researchers have dedicated considerable effort investigating individual factors that influence problem-solving performance. The…

Swanson, H. Lee; Orosco, Michael J.; Lussier, Cathy M. – Exceptional Children, 2014
This study investigated the role of strategy instruction on solution accuracy in children with and without serious math difficulties (MD) in problem solving. Children's posttest solution accuracy was compared on standardized and experimental measures as a function of strategy conditions. Strategy conditions included curriculum materials that…

Swanson, H. Lee; Lussier, Catherine; Orosco, Michael – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2011
Although current categories of learning disabilities include as specific disabilities calculation and mathematical problem solving [see IDEA reauthorization, 2004, Sec. 300.8(c)(10)], the majority of research focuses on calculation disabilities. Previous studies have shown, however, that deficits in word problem solving difficulties are persistent…

Lilles, Elena; Griffiths, Amy-Jane; Lee, Allison; Cardenas, Santiago; Chacko, Yasmin; Jimerson, Shane R. – California School Psychologist, 2008
Poor reading ability is associated with numerous negative consequences. School psychologists should provide teachers with resources and support to improve student reading ability and prevent these negative outcomes. This paper offers a guide for school psychologists to use in the consultation process when working with teachers to address students'…

KEISLAR, E.R.; WITTROCK, M.C. – 1964
VERBAL CUEING UNDER CONDITIONS COMPARABLE TO THE CLASSROOM WAS STUDIED TO TEST THE HYPOTHESES THAT THE SPECIFICITY OF VERBAL CUES DURING TRAINING IS INVERSELY RELATED TO BREADTH OF TRANSFER OF THE ABILITY TO DISCOVER A PROBLEM SOLUTION IN THE ABSENCE OF CUES. THREE DIFFERENT EXPERIMENTS WERE CARRIED OUT, EACH UTILIZING 50 TO 150 CHILDREN AS…

KEISLAR, EVAN R.; MCNEANY, ROBERT – 1966
THE VALUE OF YOUNG CHILDREN VOCALIZING DURING A PROBLEM-SOLVING TASK WAS STUDIED. IN A 2-DAY INVESTIGATION, SIXTY 4-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN WERE TRAINED INDIVIDUALLY TO SELECT THE CORRECT ONE OF THREE PICTURES DIFFERING ONLY IN SIZE. THE CHILDREN WERE DIVIDED RANDOMLY INTO A LABELING GROUP AND A NONLABELING GROUP. CHILDREN IN THE LABELING GROUP WERE…

Reese, Clyde M.; Jerry, Laura; Ballator, Nada – 1997
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the only nationally representative and continuing assessment of what students in the United States know and can do in various academic subjects. The 1996 NAEP in mathematics assessed the current level of mathematical achievement as a mechanism for informing education reform. In 1996, 44…
