Rutherford, Teomara; Liu, Allison S.; Lam, Arena S.; Schenke, Katerina – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2020
Self-beliefs are important determinants of student choice and success (Wigfield & Eccles, 2000) and are informed by student educational experiences, such as prior success with a task (Bandura, 1986). The potential for Computer-Based Interventions as self-belief-supporting learning environments is examined in this study, focusing on the…

Tokac, Umit; Novak, Elena; Thompson, Christopher G. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019
This meta-analysis investigated the effects of learning video games on mathematics achievement of PreK-12th-grade students compared with traditional classroom instructional methods. Results from the 24 collected studies showed heterogeneity among effect sizes, both in magnitude and direction. Using a random effects model, a small but marginally…

Callaghan, M. N.; Long, J. J.; van Es, E. A.; Reich, S. M.; Rutherford, T. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
As more attention is placed on designing digital educational games to align with schools' academic aims (e.g., Common Core), questions arise regarding how professional development (PD) may support teachers' using games for instruction and how such integration might impact students' achievement. This study seeks to (a) understand how teachers use…

Obersteiner, Andreas; Reiss, Kristina; Ufer, Stefan – Learning and Instruction, 2013
Theories of psychology and mathematics education recommend two instructional approaches to develop students' mental representations of number: The "exact" approach focuses on the development of exact representations of organized dot patterns; the "approximate" approach focuses on the approximate representation of analogue magnitudes. This study…

Bai, Haiyan; Pan, Wei; Hirumi, Astusi; Kebritchi, Mansureh – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2012
This research study assessed the effectiveness of a three-dimensional mathematics game, DimensionM, through a pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental design. Participants consisted of 437 eighth graders. The classrooms were randomly assigned either to the treatment group that utilized DimensionM as a supplement to regular classroom…

Carr, Jennie M. – Journal of Information Technology Education: Research, 2012
After 10 years of No Child Left Behind standards-focused education, mathematics scores have improved only marginally for elementary-aged students. Students who developed a solid conceptual mathematics foundation at the elementary level succeeded later in higher-level mathematics courses; thus, educators have sought ways to increase mathematics…

Ota, Kenji R.; DuPaul, George J. – School Psychology Quarterly, 2002
Study examines the effects of using software with a game format (as a supplement to teacher instruction) to improve math performance of fourth- to sixth-grade students with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. The hypothesis that math software with a game format would improve the academic performance and increase attention of all participants…
