Kurby, Christopher A.; Magliano, Joseph P.; Dandotkar, Srikanth; Woehrle, James; Gilliam, Sara; McNamara, Danielle S. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2012
This study assessed whether and how self-explanation reading training, provided by iSTART (Interactive Strategy Training for Active Reading and Thinking), improves the effectiveness of comprehension processes. iSTART teaches students how to self-explain and which strategies will most effectively aid comprehension from moment-to-moment. We used…

Korat, Ofra; Shamir, Adina – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2012
We examine the effect of direct and indirect teaching of vocabulary and word reading on pre-kindergarten and kindergarten children following use of an electronic storybook (e-book). The children in each age group were randomly assigned to an intervention group which read the e-book or to a control group which was afforded the regular school…

Korat, Ofra; Blau, Hila – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2010
We investigated the effect of repeated readings of an electronic book (e-book) on pre-kindergarten and kindergarten children from low (n = 127) and middle (n = 120) SES groups. Children were randomly assigned to one of three options: reading an e-book in five sessions, reading an e-book in three sessions, or receiving the regular kindergarten…

Brown, John Seely – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1985
Exploration of concepts crucial to development of new computer-based learning environments focuses on process rather than product and the computer's ability to record, represent, and communicate the underlying process. Cognitive, pedagogical, and sociological issues relevant to creation of learning environments in five domains (empowering…

Gore, Dolores A.; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1989
Describes study that was conducted to determine whether four- and five-year-old preschoolers could be taught reading skills with computer-assisted instruction, and whether they could learn basic computer literacy skills without direct instruction and drill. Software is described, and the pretest/posttest single group design is explained. (16…

McKane, P. Frank; Greene, Barbara A. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1996
Describes a study that examined the effectiveness of theory-based computer-assisted instruction for reading with incarcerated adults reading below the ninth-grade level. Results of pre- and post-tests showed a significant reading achievement gain for computer-assisted reading instruction compared to traditional instruction for the lowest Grade…

Christmann, Edwin; Badgett, John; Lucking, Robert – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1997
A meta-analysis compared the academic achievement of students (grades 6-12) who received traditional instruction or traditional instruction supplemented with computer-assisted instruction (CAI) in science, reading, music, special education, social studies, math, vocational education, and English. The study determined that students receiving…

Bass, George; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1986
This study, which assessed the effectiveness of microcomputer-assisted instruction in assisting low achieving fourth to sixth graders to attain mathematics and reading mastery, found performance of only one experimental group statistically superior to that of the control groups, but no significant differences in attitudes toward school or sense of…

Collis, Betty; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1990
Description of the "Writing to Read" (WTR) program highlights an evaluation of the WTR experience with first graders at two British Columbia schools. Treatments for experimental and control groups are described and measures used for the comparisons are explained, including reading readiness, reading achievement, and writing achievement.…
