Teaching Mathematics Based on Integrating Reading Strategies and Working Memory in Elementary School
Farideh Hamidi; Shokoofeh Soleymani; Sara Dazy; Maryam Meshkat – Athens Journal of Education, 2024
This study strived to determine the effectiveness of integrative teaching of reading strategies and working memory on basic math and problem-solving skills. It is a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study carried out on 50 second-graders from Chahashk Shandiz village in the academic year of 2020-2021 who were randomly selected by cluster…

Fastame, Maria Chiara; Manca, Cristina – International Journal of School & Educational Psychology, 2021
This investigation examines the impact of two psychoeducational programs (i.e., computer-assisted versus pencil-and-paper) for the empowerment of visuospatial skills of 7-year-old pupils. At pretest, posttest and at a three-month follow-up, 58 children attending the second grade of Italian primary school completed a battery of tests assessing…

Mascia, Maria Lidia; Fastame, Maria Chiara; Agus, Mirian; Penna, Maria Pietronilla – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2019
The development of numerical abilities was examined in 59 children aged 5 years divided into three groups: one control group (n = 15) and two experimental groups (pencil-and-paper mathematical training: n = 29: computerized mathematical training: n = 15). The participants were assessed both before and after a battery of validated tests assessing…

Chen, Meng-Ting; Chang, Yen-Ping; Marraccini, Marisa E.; Cho, Miao-Chun; Guo, Nai-Wen – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2022
Objective: Theory suggests that impaired executive functioning (EF) might explain several symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children. However, only a few studies have examined the efficacy of EF training for the children using randomized control trial designs, and only two of them found significant benefits of the training. Method: We…

Tijms, Jurgen; Pavlidou, Elpida V.; Hoette, Hester A. I. – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 2020
In this pilot study, we evaluated the effects of the online computer-based training programme 'Lexilogy-Greek' on the reading and spelling performance of young poor readers and spellers. The training is based on psycholinguistic principles that emphasise the importance of acquiring efficient phonological as well as morphological knowledge in…

Zijlstra, Haytske; van Bergen, Elsje; Regtvoort, Anne; de Jong, Peter F.; van der Leij, Aryan – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
In a randomized-controlled trial we tested a computer-assisted intervention for the prevention of reading difficulties, delivered by nonprofessional tutors, running from kindergarten to halfway Grade 2. The full sample included 123 prereaders (M = 5; 6 years; 56 intervention; 67 controls) with low preliteracy skills. Parents were sent a…

Dahlin, Karin I. E. – Journal of Education and Learning, 2013
Working Memory (WM) has a central role in learning. It is suggested to be malleable and is considered necessary for several aspects of mathematical functioning. This study investigated whether work with an interactive computerised working memory training programme at school could affect the mathematical performance of young children. Fifty-seven…

Au, Wing K.; Leung, John P. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1991
Describes a study conducted in a Hong Kong primary school that compared the effects of learning LOGO programing with a process-oriented approach and a content-oriented approach to problem-solving skills. Transfer of training to nonprograming problem solving is discussed, and instruments used to assess students are explained. (33 references) (LRW)

Riding, R. J.; Powell, S. D. – Educational Psychology, 1987
Reports on a study which investigated the possibility of improving five-year-olds' critical thinking skills in reading and mathematics by using computers. Results indicate improvement in the reading area but not in the mathematics area. (RKM)

Foorman, Barbara R.; And Others – 1985
This investigation examined the effectiveness of training Japanese and American children with a visual animation/construction or verbal labelling strategy for solving computerized geometric matrices that were correctly or incorrectly completed and varied in number of elements (l to 3) and number of transformations (0 to 2). Subjects were 209…
