Measurement and Modeling Choices in Studies of Time and Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Karweit, Nancy; Slavin, Robert E. – American Educational Research Journal, 1981
The consequences of using alternative measures of time and achievement are examined in an observational study of 18 elementary school classes. The extent to which choice of the same model linking time and learning for all students was implicated in the inconsistent results is examined. (Author/GK)

Karweit, Nancy L.; Slavin, Robert E. – 1980
How various methodological decisions may influence studies of the effect of time-on-task on achievement are examined. Subjects were students in grades 2-5 in 18 classes taught by 12 teachers in a rural Maryland school district. All students were pre-tested in February 1978 in reading, language arts, math and social studies using the Comprehensive…

The Effects of Group Composition on Achievement and Time on Task for Students Completing ILS Activities in Cooperative Pairs.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brush, Thomas A. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1997
Discusses a computer-assisted instruction study that examined the impact of group composition on student achievement, time on task, and group interactions when completing integrated learning system (ILS) math activities in cooperative pairs. The study paired elementary school students homogeneously or heterogeneously based on ability. (Author/LRW)

The Effects of Computer Animated Elaboration Strategies and Practice on Factual and Application Learning in an Elementary Science Lesson.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rieber, Lloyd P. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1989
Describes study that was conducted to examine the effects of animation and practice on factual and application learning in elementary science computer-based instruction (CBI). The extent to which animation and practice promoted near and far transfer of learning outcomes is explored, and effects on processing time are examined. (31 references) LRW)

Hines, Constance V.; And Others – Florida Journal of Educational Research, 1986
The technique of path analysis was used to test the role of student task engagement as a mediating process variable linking teacher behavior and student achievement in mathematics and social studies classes. Study participants included 40 teacher interns and their respective second-, third-, and fifth-grade classes from a school district served by…

The Effects of Instructional Control, Cognitive Style, and Prior Knowledge on Learning of Computer-Assisted Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Yoon, Gwan-Sik – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1994
Describes a study of Korean elementary school students that was conducted to investigate the effects of differing types of instructional control strategies and cognitive style on achievement in arithmetic skills using computer-assisted instruction. Hypotheses tested are discussed, time on task is investigated, and future research is suggested.…

The Effects of Cooperative Learning Strategies on Achievement and Attitudes during Interactive Video.
Dalton, David W. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1990
Describes study that investigated the effects of instructional control and gender pairing arrangements on learner achievement, attitudes, and interaction during an interactive video elementary school science lesson. Cooperative learning strategies are discussed, results of statistical analyses are reported, and implications for instructional…
