Simone Dunekacke; Andrea Wullschleger; Urs Grob; Aiso Heinze; Anke Lindmeier; Franziska Vogt; Susanne Kuratli Geeler; Miriam Leuchter; Anuschka Meier-Wyder; Selma Seemann; Elisabeth Moser Opitz – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
Adaptive learning support provided by kindergarten teachers before and after (macro-adaptive learning support) as well as during mathematical learning activities (micro-adaptive learning support) is a cross-cutting concept of teaching quality. Effective adaptive learning support enhances children's learning. However, providing it is challenging…

Dolean, Dacian Dorin; Lervag, Arne – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
The utility of homework and its impact on academic achievement has been an ongoing debate for more than 100 years. To date, there is no rigorous experimental research to show whether, and the extent to which, variations in the amount of homework assigned can impact the academic performance of elementary school students. In this study, 440…

Hudson, Kesha N.; Ballou, Haley M.; Willoughby, Michael T. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Previous studies have documented that individual differences in fine and gross motor skills are associated with executive function (EF) skills. This study used an experimental design to test whether participating in cognitively challenging motor skills activities was causally related to improvements in motor skills and two key indicators of school…

Raja, Vidya; Bhalla, Deepti Omchery – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
Studies in the field of music and transfer of learning have established a correlation between music learning and achievement in subjects such as Mathematics. An experimental study was conducted to understand the impact of Carnatic music training on mathematical ability in early formative education. Students aged 5 years 6 months to 8 years 6…

Lewis, Emily A.; Weixler, Lindsay Bell – Early Education and Development, 2019
Research Findings: This study investigates the role of fine motor and mathematics instruction in mathematics achievement in an international sample of kindergarteners from the United States and China. Multilevel modeling was used to assess the interaction between students' entering skills and classroom time spent on basic math, higher-order math…

Son, Seung-Hee Claire; Hur, Jin Hee – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2020
The current study attempted to investigate the nature and impact of home math talk of low-income primary caregivers of Head Start children during home cooking (N = 46). Using hierarchical regression analysis, we examined the predictability of total math talk and specific types of math talk (i.e., number talk, operation talk, and measurement talk)…

Doabler, Christian T.; Stoolmiller, Mike; Kennedy, Patrick C.; Nelson, Nancy J.; Clarke, Ben; Gearin, Brian; Fien, Hank; Smolkowski, Keith; Baker, Scott K. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2019
A growing body of research suggests that the effects of core mathematics instruction on student mathematics outcomes may not be uniform across different skill levels in mathematics. This study investigated the extent to which observed components of explicit mathematics instruction explained why students' initial mathematics achievement was…

Ben Clarke; Christian T. Doabler; Jessica Turtura; Keith Smolkowski; Evangeline Kurtz-Nelson; Derek Kosty; Hank Fien; Scott K. Baker – Grantee Submission, 2019
This study examined the role of initial skill in moderating intervention effects of a 50 lesson mathematics intervention program, ROOTS, for at risk kindergarten students focused on developing whole number concepts and skills. The study utilized a randomized block design with at-risk students (n = 592) within classrooms (n = 60) randomly assigned…

Melhuish, Edward; Barnes, Jacqueline; Gardiner, Julian; Siraj, Iram; Sammons, Pamela; Sylva, Kathy; Taggart, Brenda – Exceptionality Education International, 2019
Specialized preschool programs can enhance the development of vulnerable young children at risk of special educational needs (SEN). Less is known about the potential of early childhood education and care (ECEC) provided for the general population. This study includes 2,857 children attending 141 ECEC centres in England and 310 with no ECEC. ECEC…

Honoré, Nastasya; Noël, Marie-Pascale – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2017
Working memory capacities are associated with mathematical development. Many studies have tried to improve working memory abilities through training. Furthermore, the central executive has been shown to be the component of working memory, which is the most strongly related to numerical and arithmetical skills. Therefore, we developed a training…

Watts, Tyler W.; Clements, Douglas H.; Sarama, Julie; Wolfe, Christopher B.; Spitler, Mary Elaine; Bailey, Drew H. – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2017
Early educational intervention effects typically fade in the years following treatment, and few studies have investigated why achievement impacts diminish over time. The current study tested the effects of a preschool mathematics intervention on two aspects of children's mathematical development. We tested for separate effects of the intervention…

Deutsch, Melissa – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Each year, post-secondary institutions across the nation enroll thousands of students into developmental mathematics courses. Success rates are low for students placed in developmental mathematics courses employing traditional teaching practices. Secondary institutions utilizing more engaging pedagogies and high impact practices, such as…
