This study aims to identify errors made by primary school students when modelling word problems and to eliminate those errors through scaffolding. A 10-question problem-solving achievement test was used in the research. The qualitative and quantitative designs were utilized together. The study group of the quantitative design comprises 248…

The aim of this study was to investigate the Chinese handwriting performance of typical children and children with dyslexia, and to examine whether speed and accuracy of handwriting could reliably discriminate these two groups of children. One hundred and thirty-seven children with dyslexia and 756 typical children were recruited from main stream…

Holden, Jocelyn E.; Kelley, Ken – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2010
Classification procedures are common and useful in behavioral, educational, social, and managerial research. Supervised classification techniques such as discriminant function analysis assume training data are perfectly classified when estimating parameters or classifying. In contrast, unsupervised classification techniques such as finite mixture…

Mammarella, Irene Cristina; Lucangeli, Daniela; Cornoldi, Cesare – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2010
Visuospatial working memory and its involvement in arithmetic were examined in two groups of 7- to 11-year-olds: one comprising children described by teachers as displaying symptoms of nonverbal learning difficulties (N = 21), the other a control group without learning disabilities (N = 21). The two groups were matched for verbal abilities, age,…

Peer reviewedDorans, Neil J. – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1988
A new estimator of the actual error rate for the two-group discriminant problem is presented. The new estimator is based on the concept of a shrunken generalized distance. This new estimator is compared favorably to two modified distance estimators and an estimator developed by M. Okamato. Four figures are included. (Author/TJH)

Brennan, Robert L.; Stolurow, Lawrence M. – 1971
A replicable process for improving instruction through the consistent use of student data collected before, during, and after instruction is proposed. A rational analysis of different types of error rates (theoretical, base, posttest, instructional) and discrimination indices (base, posttest) leads to a set of rules for identifying test items and…
