What Works Clearinghouse Rating
Solomon, Benjamin G.; Poncy, Brian C. – School Psychology, 2019
The empirical literature on academic intervention has increasingly promoted comparative research, moving the field forward in addressing the question, "What works best?" Poncy et al. (2015), Skinner (2008, 2010), and Skinner, Fletcher, and Henington (1996) have suggested that researchers enhance traditional evaluations of learning…

Parker, Emily; Diffey, Louisa; Atchison, Bruce – Education Commission of the States, 2016
Research indicates that a high-quality, full-day kindergarten experience is a crucial component to setting students up for ongoing academic success, yet vast differences exist in the quality of kindergarten programs and how they are funded across the states. As states continue to develop strong pre-kindergarten (pre-K) programs, many are also…

Scott, Shirley V. – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2015
Assessment is central to learning. It is also central to the cost of providing higher education. Choosing how much and what forms of assessment are questions not only of good teaching but of good policy. Measuring the amount of assessment set in each course provides a basis on which to determine equitable and appropriate workloads for students and…

Mirra, Nicole; Rogers, John – Voices in Urban Education, 2015
Allocated classroom time is not the same as time available for learning--a host of economic and social stressors undermine learning time in schools serving low-income students. When time is limited, it is hard to meet rigorous learning standards. The challenge is compounded in high-poverty schools where community stressors place additional demands…

McQuillan, Jeff – Reading in a Foreign Language, 2016
In his 2016 article, "What Can Readers Read after Graded Readers?" (EJ1098660), Jeff McQuillan provided data to show that there is an adequate amount of reading material that can be read at or above 98% vocabulary coverage to provide sufficient input to acquire most of the word families from the 2,000- to the 9,000-word-family levels.…

Evaluation of the Educational Impact of Participation Time in a Small Spacecraft Development Program
Straub, Jeremy; Whalen, David – Education Sciences, 2014
The value of the duration of participation in a small spacecraft program has not previously been sufficiently characterized. This work seeks to determine whether most relevant benefits are received by participants quickly (suggesting that participant education would be best achieved by shorter duration exposure to multiple domains) or accrues over…

Daniel, David B.; Woody, William Douglas – Computers & Education, 2013
While e-book sales continue to increase, electronic textbooks are not very popular with college students. This may be due to the fact that e-textbooks are read for different reasons and with different strategies than are e-books. Although previous research has documented this lack of preference for e-textbooks, student performance and use of…

Sandoval-Hernandez, Andres; Aghakasiri, Parisa; Wild, Justin; Rutkowski, David – International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, 2013
Increasing the number of hours students spend in school each year, on the assumption that this will improve student achievement, has become a widespread trend. However, the analysis reported here suggests that this trend can be misguided: the time students spend in the classroom is not always positively related to their academic achievement.…

Bowyer, Kyle – Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, 2012
Student workload is a contributing factor to students deciding to withdraw from their study before completion of the course, at significant cost to students, institutions and society. The aim of this paper is to create a basic workload model for a group of undergraduate students studying business law units at Curtin University in Western…

Chudowsky, Naomi; Ginsburg, Alan – National Assessment Governing Board, 2012
This report examines what the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) can tell us about charter school enrollment and student performance compared to that of regular public schools. The study uses NAEP reading and mathematics data from 2011 and the earlier years when charter school data first became available (2003 for grade 4; 2005 for…

Kidron, Yael; Lindsay, Jim – Regional Educational Laboratory Appalachia, 2014
REL Appalachia conducted a systematic review of the research evidence on the effects of increased learning time. After screening more than 7,000 studies, REL Appalachia identified 30 that met the most rigorous standards for research. A review of those 30 studies found that increased learning time does not always produce positive results. However,…

Wenz, Michael; Yu, Wei-Choun – Journal of Education Finance, 2010
This article outlines a framework for evaluating the decision of undergraduate students to engage in term-time employment as a method of financing higher education. We then examine the impact of work on academic achievement and find that employment has modest negative effects on student grades, with a grade point average (GPA) falling by 0.007…

Compton-Lilly, Catherine – Wisconsin Center for Education Research (NJ1), 2010
Time regulates the lives of educators. Time on task, 45-minute classes, 2-hour literacy blocks, 10-week marking periods, and 40-week school years are central to teachers' lives and to the operation of schools. In contemporary schools, benchmarks, standards, promotion, retention, graduation, and ultimately school success are all intricately…
