Michael Rosholm; Pia Beck Tonnesen; Klaus Rasmussen; Steffen Overgaard; Julie Vangsøe Faerch; Signe Gottschau Malm; Jimmy Harder – npj Science of Learning, 2025
Running two separate two-stage randomized trials, we implement and test three variants of a small group instruction intervention aimed at improving mathematics competencies for the 20% lowest achievers in mathematics in grades 2 and 8 in Danish public schools. We calculate immediate impacts on math competencies as well as impacts in the medium…

Kalogeropoulos, Penelope; Russo, James; Roche, Anne – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
There is evidence that student attitudes towards mathematics become more negative as students move through their schooling. However, less is known about the different factors that shape student attitudes at various stages. This qualitative study sought to shed light on this issue and consider how stage of schooling influenced self-perceived…

Hott, Brittany L.; Dibbs, Rebecca Anne – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2020
Completion of a quality Algebra course by 8th grade is a prerequisite for successful entry into STEM majors; thus best practices in this critical course must be as equitable as possible to support STEM recruitment and retention. However, if the research base for Algebra is under-examines some populations of students, structural inequity may be…

Roesslein, Rachel I.; Codding, Robin S. – Psychology in the Schools, 2019
Understanding fractions has been a pervasively difficult skill for struggling math learners, yet it is essential for success in secondary level mathematics skills. The present systematic review examined the evidence base of fraction interventions for elementary level students identified as struggling math learners. Twelve studies met inclusion…

Hott, Brittany L.; Dibbs, Rebecca-Anne; Naizer, Gil; Raymond, Lesli; Reid, Campbell C.; Martin, Amelia – Rural Special Education Quarterly, 2019
Students with mathematics difficulties and disabilities require evidence-based instructional strategies and interventions to improve their mathematical performance. Dissemination of these practices to teachers in rural settings presents specific challenges, including lack of Internet access, few discretionary resources, and geographic isolation.…

Venkat, Hamsa; Mathews, Corin – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
In this paper we analyze the outcomes of a design experiment that sought to improve the multiplicative reasoning of 12-13 year-old learners across two schools in a South African context of low performance. Using a hybrid theoretical base in Realistic Mathematics Education, variation theory and analogical reasoning, a short-term intervention…

De La Paz, Susan; Butler, Cameron – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2018
This article considers the topic of motivation for writing, and explores connections between writing interventions and motivation. We review the extant literature with K12 students who participated in writing interventions and examine the motivation outcomes in those studies to determine whether improvements in writing ability also led to…

Kwarikunda, Diana; Schiefele, Ulrich; Ssenyonga, Joseph; Muwonge, Charles Magoba – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
For efficient and effective pedagogical interventions to address Uganda's alarmingly poor performance in Physics, it is vital to understand students' motivation patterns for Physics learning. Latent profile analysis (LPA)--a person-centred approach--can be used to investigate these motivation patterns. Using a three-step approach to LPA, we sought…

Youngs, Bonnie L. – Language Learning & Technology, 2021
Learning analytics (LA) offer benefits and challenges for online learning, but prior to collecting data on high-stakes summative assessments as proof of student learning, LA researchers should engage instructors as partners to ensure the quality of course materials through the formative evaluation of individual items (Bienkowski et al., 2012;…

Hunt, Jessica; MacDonald, Beth; Silva, Juanita – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2018
We present study findings that depict the natural and fractional number knowledge of one third grade student with learning disabilities (LDs) in seven experimental sessions. We utilize qualitative analysis methods to illustrate how this student evidenced her knowledge of natural number and fractions through her interactions with varied learning…

Wan Yusoff, Wan Mazwati – Journal of Curriculum and Teaching, 2018
This research project attempted to investigate the impact of applying philosophical inquiry method of teaching on classroom engagement and reasoning skills of low achievers. Low achievers are those who have the potential to succeed but lagged behind because of several factors that demotivate them to perform at their highest ability. In this study,…
