Marcia A. Barnes; Nathan H. Clemens; Deborah Simmons; Colby Hall; Melissa Fogarty; Amanda Martinez-Lincoln; Sharon Vaughn; Leslie Simmons; Anna-Maria Fall; Greg Roberts – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2024
An inferential comprehension intervention addressing reading comprehension difficulties of middle schoolers was tested. Method Students in Grades 6 to 8 (n = 145; 53.8% female; 71% White; 24% Black) who failed their state literacy test, were randomly assigned to tutor-led, computerized, or business-as-usual [BaU] interventions. Results The…

Gerard, Libby F.; Ryoo, Kihyun; McElhaney, Kevin W.; Liu, Ou Lydia; Rafferty, Anna N.; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2016
In 4 classroom experiments we investigated uses for technologies that automatically score student generated essays, concept diagrams, and drawings in inquiry curricula. We used the automatic scores to assign typical and research-based guidance and studied the impact of the guidance on student progress. Seven teachers and their 897 students…

Yang, Che-Ching; Tseng, Shian-Shyong; Shih, Wen-Chung; Liang, Tyne – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2012
Poems are usually expressed with elaborate rhetoric techniques, which make them hard to be understood. In this study, a cross-text annotation sharing mechanism is proposed to help students comprehend poetry by creating and sharing individual annotations. Furthermore, relevant annotations among various texts can be retrieved to stimulate and help…

Daher, Wajeeh – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2010
Although many researchers have examined knowledge building in traditional settings and distance learning, few have examined middle school students' building of mathematical knowledge using mobile phones. The present study uses two well-known models of knowledge building to carry out the examination: the interactive analysis model of knowledge…

Ross, John A.; Bruce, Catherine D. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2009
Students have difficulty learning fractions, and problems in understanding fractions persist into adulthood, with moderate to severe consequences for everyday and occupational decision-making. Remediation of student misconceptions is hampered by deficiencies in teachers' knowledge of the discipline and pedagogical content knowledge. We theorized…
