On-Task and Off-Task Behavior in the Classroom: A Study on Mathematics Learning with Educational Video Games
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Beserra, Vagner; Nussbaum, Miguel; Oteo, Macarena – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2019
When performing a task in the classroom, it is essential to place the focus on learning. In the classroom, it is possible to distinguish between time spent by students on-task and off-task. The former is the time in which the student is focused on the learning task; the latter is the remaining time in which they focus on other activities.…

The Role of the Updating Function in Solving Arithmetic Word Problems
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mori, Kanetaka; Okamoto, Masahiko – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2017
We investigated how the updating function supports the integration process in solving arithmetic word problems. In Experiment 1, we measured reading time, that is, translation and integration times, when undergraduate and graduate students (n = 78) were asked to solve 2 types of problems: those containing only necessary information and those…

Teaching Students What They Already Know? The (Mis)Alignment between Mathematics Instructional Content and Student Knowledge in Kindergarten
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Engel, Mimi; Claessens, Amy; Finch, Maida A. – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2013
Kindergarten mathematics skills are important for subsequent achievement, yet mathematics is underemphasized in kindergarten classrooms. Using nationally representative data, this study explored the relationship between students' school-entry math skills, classroom content coverage, and end-of-kindergarten math achievement. Although the vast…

Teaching Basic Number Skills to Students with a Moderate Intellectual Disability.
Young, Margaret; And Others – Education and Training in Mental Retardation, 1990
Performance of 5 students (ages 8 and 10) with moderate intellectual disability was compared as they received the DISTAR Arithmetic instructional intervention and a Discrimination Learning Theory (DLT) intervention not requiring a fast-paced verbal student response. Academic engagement and skill mastery were greater during the DLT intervention.…

Effects of Problem Difficulty and Reinforcer Quality on Time Allocated to Concurrent Arithmetic Problems.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mace, F. Charles; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1996
Two studies involving three adolescents with severe emotional disturbance/behavior disorders and learning difficulties examined effects of problem difficulty and reinforcer quality upon time allocated to two sets of arithmetic problems. Results have implications for understanding the effects of problem difficulty and reinforcer quality on behavior…

Initiating and Fading Self-Management Interventions To Increase Math Fluency in General Education Classes.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McDougall, Dennis; Brady, Michael P. – Exceptional Children, 1998
This study investigated effects of multiple-component behavioral self-management (BSM) interventions on math fluency and engaged time of five fourth-grade students with and without disabilities in general education classrooms. Students increased their math fluency and engaged time, and these continued to improve when the self-management…

The Effects of Instructional Control, Cognitive Style, and Prior Knowledge on Learning of Computer-Assisted Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Yoon, Gwan-Sik – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1994
Describes a study of Korean elementary school students that was conducted to investigate the effects of differing types of instructional control strategies and cognitive style on achievement in arithmetic skills using computer-assisted instruction. Hypotheses tested are discussed, time on task is investigated, and future research is suggested.…
