This study compared active student response (ASR) error correction and no-response (NR) error correction while teaching science terms to five elementary students. When a student erred, the teacher modeled the definition and the student either repeated it (ASR) or not (NR). ASR error correction was superior on each of seven dependent variables.…

The use of response cards during classroom review sessions was examined in an earth science class of 23 secondary students, 8 of whom had learning disabilities, mental retardation, or behavior disorders. Results indicated achievement of higher test scores by all students, including those with disabilities, when students had used response cards in…
