Hodgen, Jeremy; Adkins, Michael; Ainsworth, Shaaron Elizabeth – Cambridge Journal of Education, 2023
The use of teaching assistants (TAs) is widespread in many education systems, but the ways that TAs can support learning effectively are poorly understood. Much evidence indicates that most TA support has no, or negative, effects on pupil attainment. A small but growing body of evidence shows that structured TA intervention programmes can be…

Lindmeier, Anke; Seemann, Selma; Kuratli-Geeler, Susanne; Wullschleger, Andrea; Dunekacke, Simone; Leuchter, Miriam; Vogt, Franziska; Opitz, Elisabeth Moser; Heinze, Aiso – Research in Mathematics Education, 2020
Research on teacher knowledge has been criticised for taking too narrow a view on expertise. Therefore, teacher competence frameworks have been developed that are closely related to professional demands. Their practice-oriented conceptualisations have led to innovative measures with situative demands. However, there is still a lack of knowledge on…

Goos, Merrilyn; Geiger, Vince; Bennison, Anne; Dole, Shelley; Forgasz, Helen – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2017
While measures of research quality are widely accepted in the education research community, there may be less agreement on what constitutes evidence of impact and on where to look for it. The aims of this symposium are to consider some key issues in undertaking the Australian government's national assessment of research engagement and impact, and…

Cunningham, James; Sood, Krishan – Education 3-13, 2018
This study evaluates the validity of claims that Working Memory (WM) training is an effective and legitimate school-based maths intervention. By analysing the current developments in WM in the fields of neurology and cognitive psychology, this study seeks to analyse their relevance to the classroom. This study analyses memory profiles of children…

Barnes, Marcia A.; Klein, Alice; Swank, Paul; Starkey, Prentice; McCandliss, Bruce; Flynn, Kylie; Zucker, Tricia; Huang, Chun-Wei; Fall, Anna-Mária; Roberts, Greg – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2016
Two intervention approaches designed to address the multifaceted academic and cognitive difficulties of low-income children who enter pre-K with very low math knowledge were tested in a randomized experiment. Blocking on classroom, children who met screening criteria were assigned to a Math + Attention condition in which the Pre-Kindergarten…

Palazzo, Renee – ProQuest LLC, 2014
Achievement in mathematics education continues to be a growing concern across the country. Presently, schools continue to struggle with the best methods and strategies to implement effective mathematics programs while working towards closing achievement gaps for those students who are not meeting the standards. The Rhode Island Department of…

Leslie White, Allan – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2010
The 2009 "Counting On" program has evolved from a series that began in 1999 and which continued to expand and change until the current manifestation. The program has always had a twin learning focus upon both students and teachers. Thus it seeks to improve student mathematical outcomes while building capacity within the teachers by…

Perso, Thelma – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2011
In this article, the author clarifies the distinction between numeracy and mathematics and the implications of this distinction for teachers of mathematics. In doing so she has, of necessity, focused on one--albeit significant--high stakes assessment genre used on Australian students that purports to measure numeracy. It is essential that teachers…

Thornton, Steve; Quinane, Mary; Galluzzo, Gina; Taylor, Debbie – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2010
This paper reports on the structure and impact of a one on one numeracy intervention project conducted during 2009 with students in years 1, 4 and 8. The project was built on a Reading Recovery model, using research into how the brain learns mathematics and ideas of threshold concepts. Teachers were provided time to work individually with students…

Bryant, Diane Pedrotty; Bryant, Brian R.; Roberts, Greg; Vaughn, Sharon; Pfannenstiel, Kathleen Hughes; Porterfield, Jennifer; Gersten, Russell – Exceptional Children, 2011
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of an early numeracy preventative Tier 2 intervention on the mathematics performance of first-grade students with mathematics difficulties. Researchers used a pretest-posttest control group design with randomized assignment of 139 students to the Tier 2 treatment condition and 65 students to…

Sotuku, N.; Duku, N. – Africa Education Review, 2012
The Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 2, which is "Achieve Universal Education", puts emphasis on increasing enrolments and keeping children at school until they complete primary education. But the question continues to arise of the kind of education to which children are being given access: Is access commensurate with quality? This…
