Andrea Salvati – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This dissertation consists of two chapters on topics in economics of education. In the first chapter, I develop and estimate an equilibrium model of endogenous instruction and student effort in order to empirically investigate the relationship between instructional choices, classroom composition, and student achievement in elementary school. The…

Normand, Sebastien; Flora, David B.; Toplak, Maggie E.; Tannock, Rosemary – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2012
Recent factor analytic studies in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have shown that hierarchical models provide a better fit of ADHD symptoms than correlated models. A hierarchical model includes a general ADHD factor and specific factors for inattention, and hyperactivity/impulsivity. The aim of this 12-month longitudinal study was…

Guild, Pat – School Administrator, 1994
Researchers and practitioners agree that learning styles stem from a nature/nurture combination; students of all styles can be successful learners; students are more successful when using their style strengths; and diverse teaching styles are essential. This article discusses implementation issues, cultural factors, alternative teaching styles,…

Brandt, Ron – Educational Leadership, 1990
Educators have three approaches to learning styles: focusing on the individual, using comprehensive models to adapt instruction to major learning differences, and identifying key elements of an individual's learning style and matching instruction and materials to these differences. One controversial aspect of learning styles is the use of…

Gettys, Cynthia M.; Wheelock, Anne – Educational Leadership, 1995
The Paideia School Model was inspired by philosopher Mortimer Adler's belief in a high-quality, single-track, liberal arts education to prepare students for work, citizenship, and lifelong learning. This article describes how Chattanooga (Tennessee) parents and educators worked to develop and implement a holistic, rigorous Paideia curriculum. (MLH)

Slate, John R.; Charlesworth, John R., Jr. – Reading Improvement, 1989
Utilizes the information processing model of human memory to provide teachers with suggestions for improving the teaching-learning process. Briefly explains and specifies applications of major theoretical concepts: attention, active learning, meaningfulness, organization, advanced organizers, memory aids, overlearning, automatically, and…

Bowers, Patricia Greig; Wolf, Maryanne – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 1993
Reviews several lines of convergent research to discuss the relationship between developmental dyslexia and slow symbol naming speed. Describes the interactive development of orthographic and phonological codes, and methodological problems leading to underestimation of the importance of individual differences. Argues that an understanding of…

Globerson, Tamar; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1985
Tested whether or not cognitive development (as measured by mental capacity) and cognitive style (as measured by field-dependence/independence) are different dimensions. Results are discussed with regard to Pascual-Leone's model of cognitive development, relevance to stylistic dimension of reflection/impulsivity, and educational implications.…

Arlin, Marshall – American Journal of Education, 1982
Presents a model for analyzing teachers' time allocation procedures in collective instruction along with a qualitative analysis of 10 elementary school teachers' implementations of short sequences of mastery learning. Sequences illustrate possible ways teachers adjust conditions that are formulated in the model. (Author/MP)

Carbo, Marie – Teaching PreK-8, 1995
Presents an easy-to-follow chart that enables teachers to select the most appropriate reading strategy for each student, depending upon the student's ability. Moving from the bottom to the top of the chart, each strategy requires increasingly more reading independence of the student and less modeling by the teacher. (ET)

Goldin-Meadow, Susan; And Others – Psychological Review, 1993
A model of the sources and consequences of mismatches between gestures and speech is presented that argues that the transitional knowledge state is the source of the mismatch and that such mismatches signal that a child is in a transitional state of concept acquisition and is ready to learn. (SLD)

Rettig, Perry R. – Principal, 1999
In 1992, a group of teachers, principals, and central-office administrators at a Wisconsin elementary school developed an effective differentiated teacher-supervision process. Teachers enjoy the flexibility of choosing among three options: a cooperative-clinical supervision group, a self-directed group, and a collegial professional-development…

Seltzer, Michael; Kim, Jinok – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2007
Individual differences in response to a given treatment have been a longstanding interest in education. While many evaluation studies focus on average treatment effects (i.e., the effects of treatments on the levels of outcomes of interest), this paper additionally considers estimating the effects of treatments on the dispersion in outcomes.…

Hoerr, Thomas R. – Educational Leadership, 1992
Faculty members of a St. Louis, Missouri, pre-K-6 school studied Harold Gardner's theories on multiple intelligences in "Frames of Mind" (1983) and developed a program based on 7 learning modalities. Although implementation varies by classroom, teachers are using all seven intelligences in designing instruction, and a faculty subgroup is…
