Graphing is a complex and critical skill for behavior analysts. We evaluated the effects of conceptual training modules and feedback checklists on verbal behavior about graphing conventions and adherence to graphing conventions with graduate students in behavior analysis. In Experiment 1, conceptual training increased the accuracy of verbal…

Algebra is the foundational mathematics course that students take as they begin their high school career and is often difficult for the average learner. In order for students with disabilities and those with mathematics difficulties to meet the high expectations of future mathematical courses, providing quality instruction by implementing…

Jokgu is a Korean net sport and features both volleyball and soccer skills in a challenge skill and game format. Jokgu provides students with the opportunity to develop health and skill related physical fitness components such as eye-foot coordination, flexibility, the fundamental motor skill of kicking and juggling. In addition, students can…

Introduction: This article demonstrates the effectiveness of the use of routine-based instruction for teaching sensorimotor-stage object-perception skills to students who have visual impairments (i.e., blindness or low vision) and severe intellectual disabilities. Method: Classroom teachers documented progress toward achievement of object…

K-12 students are expected to acquire competence in data display as part of developing statistical literacy. To support research, assessment design, and instruction, we developed a hypothesized learning progression (LP) using existing empirical literature in the fields of mathematics and statistics education. The data display LP posits a…

Improving Social and Emotional Learning in Primary Schools reviews the best available research to offer school leaders six practical recommendations to support good SEL for all children. It stresses this is especially important for children from disadvantaged backgrounds and other vulnerable groups, who, on average, have weaker SEL skills at all…

This paper presents the results of a quasi-experimental study examining the effectiveness of Amplify Reading, a digital supplemental literacy curriculum that students play independently at school or at home, in improving student literacy outcomes as measured by end of year Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) Next for…

Meeting International Society for Technology in Education competencies creates a challenge for teachers. The authors provide a problem-based video framework that guides teachers in enhancing 21st century skills to meet those competencies. To keep the focus on the content, the authors suggest teaching the technology skills only at the point the…

The main purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Problem-Solving Strategy Steps (PSSS) on students' achievement, skill, and confidence. The study was conducted in a two-year college classroom with 70 students from two different groups enrolled in a physics course. One of them was randomly selected as an experimental group (EG) and the…

Student readiness to learn applied typing (arranging copy efficiently) must be considered when planning typing tasks following basic keyboard learning. A sequential plan of instruction is suggested. (MF)

Describes preparation and implementation of a lesson using student activity, material in the textbook, and the concept of the time line to teach the chronological order of events in history. The lesson is designed for use by junior high school students during one class period. (CK)

A hierarchial sequence for map skills instruction is proposed and related to existing programs. Emphasis in this sequential structure is placed on gradual development of the student's ability to use grid reference systems and orient himself satisfactorily on maps, as well as the gradual acquisition of certain measurement abilities. (SM)

Kindergarten children who were taught in a structured, sequential program achieved significantly more than kindergarten children taught the regular curriculum. (WY)

Addresses the need for a balance between skills- oriented and content-oriented approaches to teaching social studies. Suggests a program in which an updated skills sequence could be interposed over an identified scope of prime content. (Author/KC)

This study demonstrated that 4 students (ages 6-12) with mental retardation or behavior disorders learned to treat abrasions, as indicated by pretest-posttest generalization probes conducted using nontrained injuries on the participants and another person. Skill acquisition data were roughly equivalent across two training programs (social modeling…
