Forthmann, Boris; Förster, Natalie; Souvignier, Elmar – Journal of Intelligence, 2022
Monitoring the progress of student learning is an important part of teachers' data-based decision making. One such tool that can equip teachers with information about students' learning progress throughout the school year and thus facilitate monitoring and instructional decision making is learning progress assessments. In practical contexts and…

Jaime León; Fernando Martínez-Abad – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2025
Background: Grade retention is an educational aspect that concerns teachers, families, and experts. It implies an economic cost for families, as well as a personal cost for the student, who is forced to study one more year. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of course repetition on math, science and reading competencies, and…

Husni Almoubayyed; Stephen E. Fancsali; Steve Ritter – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Recent research seeks to develop more comprehensive learner models for adaptive learning software. For example, models of reading comprehension built using data from students' use of adaptive instructional software for mathematics have recently been developed. These models aim to deliver experiences that consider factors related to learning beyond…

Decker, Scott L.; Strait, Julia Englund; Roberts, Alycia M.; Wright, Emma Kate – Contemporary School Psychology, 2018
Although the empirical relationship between general intelligence and academic achievement is well established, that between specific cognitive abilities and achievement is less so. This study investigated the relationships between specific Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) cognitive abilities and reading comprehension across a large sample of children…

Sinclair, Jeanne; Jang, Eunice Eunhee; Rudzicz, Frank – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Advances in machine learning (ML) are poised to contribute to our understanding of the linguistic processes associated with successful reading comprehension, which is a critical aspect of children's educational success. We used ML techniques to investigate and compare associations between children's reading comprehension and 260 linguistic…

Briggs, Laura Clark – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Research on secondary student reading comprehension performance is scant, yet demands for improved literacy at college and career levels indicate that an understanding of trends and growth patterns is necessary to better inform teaching and learning for high school students. To improve understanding of reading performance at the secondary level,…

The 2I/E Model: Integrating Temporal Comparisons into the Internal/External Frame of Reference Model
Wolff, Fabian; Nagy, Gabriel; Retelsdorf, Jan; Helm, Friederike; Köller, Olaf; Möller, Jens – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
The 2I/E model is an extension of Marsh's (1986) classical internal/external frame of reference (I/E) model. Whereas the classical I/E model describes the formation of academic self-concept by the joint operation of social (external) and dimensional (internal) comparisons, the 2I/E model integrates temporal comparisons as an additional internal…

Francis, Michelle Andersen; Armstrong, Sonya L. – Journal of Developmental Education, 2018
The face of developmental reading is changing. Yet, the mission does not change: Students must be prepared to tackle academic texts if they are to be successful in college, and this is the essence of academic literacy instruction. Developmental reading professionals must have a deep understanding of academic vocabulary acquisition. Unfortunately,…

Timmermans, Anneke; van der Werf, Greetje – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2017
The current study explored the size, stability, and consistency of school effects, using 2 effectiveness indicators: achievements of students at the end of primary school and growth in achievement across 3 years of schooling. The sample consisted of the scores of 25,269 students on 3 subjects, taken in Grades 4 to 6 among 3 cohorts in 319 primary…

Ardasheva, Yuliya; Newcomer, Sarah N.; Firestone, Jonah B.; Lamb, Richard L. – Journal of Educational Research, 2017
The authors investigated the mediating effects of general academic and science-specific vocabulary on science reading comprehension among English learners (ELs) of varied proficiency. The sample included 169 regular education Grade 7 students (86 current ELs; 83 former ELs) enrolled in 1 urban school in Pacific Northwest region of the United…

Hajovsky, Daniel; Reynolds, Matthew R.; Floyd, Randy G.; Turek, Joshua J.; Keith, Timothy Z. – School Psychology Review, 2014
The structural relations between the Cattell-Horn-Carroll abilities and reading achievement outcome variables across child and adolescent development were examined in the "Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, Second Edition", and the "Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement, Second Edition", co-normed sample. We estimated…

Boonen, Tinneke; Pinxten, Maarten; Van Damme, Jan; Onghena, Patrick – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2014
Academic emphasis, collective efficacy, and faculty trust in students and parents (3 school characteristics positively associated with student achievement) are assumed to form a higher order latent construct, "academic optimism" (Hoy, Tarter, & Woolfolk Hoy, 2006a, 2006b). The aim of the present study is to corroborate the latent…

Vitale, Michael R.; Romance, Nancy R. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2012
This study focused on accelerating development of science knowledge and understanding at the primary level (grades 1-2) as a means for enhancing reading comprehension (i.e. early literacy). An adaptation of a grade 3-5 cognitive-science-based, instructional model ("Science IDEAS") that integrated science with reading and writing, this…

Retelsdorf, Jan; Becker, Michael; Koller, Olaf; Moller, Jens – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2012
Background: Assigning students to different school tracks on the basis of their achievement levels is a widely used strategy that aims at giving students the best possible learning opportunity. There is, however, a growing body of literature that questions such positive effects of tracking. Aims: This study compared the developmental trajectories…
