Angela R. Crawford; Aysia Kernin – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
This study explores volitional and affective responses to instructional activities aimed at developing geometric and spatial vocabulary of a neurodivergent student. Using teaching experiment methodology across 15 instructional sessions, we observed how the student responded to games, direct instruction, and vocabulary support embedded in spatial…

Bouwmeester, Samantha; Verkoeijen, Peter P. J. L. – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2011
In this study, we compared two instruction methods on spelling performance: a rewriting instruction in which children repeatedly rewrote words and an ambiguous property instruction in which children deliberately practiced on a difficult word aspect. Moreover, we examined whether the testing effect applies to spelling performance. One hundred…
