In this research, we developed and empirically tested a dialogic writing intervention, an integrated language approach in which grade 5/6 students learn how to write, talk about their writing with peers, and rewrite. The effectiveness of this intervention was experimentally tested in ten classes from eight schools, using a pretest-posttest control…

Hadden, Ian Robert; Easterbrook, Matthew John; Nieuwenhuis, Marlon; Fox, Kerry Jane; Dolan, Paul – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Background: Studies in the United States show that school students from some ethnic backgrounds are susceptible to stereotype threat, that this undermines their academic performance, and that a series of virtually zero-cost self-affirmation writing exercises can reduce these adverse effects. In England, however, socioeconomic status (SES) is a…

Trisha Borman; Geoffrey Borman; Rachel Garrett; So Jung Park; Cong Ye; Ji Hyun Yang – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
Background: Prior research suggests that stereotype threat explains significant portions of school-based achievement gaps (Steele & Aronson, 1995). To combat stereotype threat, several recent school-based field trials have leveraged self-affirmation theory (Steele & Liu, 1983; Liu & Steele, 1986), wherein affirming one's important…

Geoffrey Borman; Jaymes Pyne – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
Nationally, educators suspend Black students at greater rates than any other group (U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights, 2016). This disproportionality is fueled by stereotypes casting Black students as "troublemakers" (Okonofua, Walton, & Eberhardt, 2016)--a label the students too often internalize as part of their…

Sperling, Marko; Grünke, Matthias – Insights into Learning Disabilities, 2017
Just as composing a story, a report, or an argumentative essay is challenging for most students with LD, so it is challenging for teachers in inclusive settings to instruct them (Gillespie & Kiuhara, 2017; Grünke & Leonard Zabel, 2015). The articles in this issue of "Insights into Learning Disabilities" are geared towards special…

Liau, Albert K.; Neihart, Maureen F.; Teo, Chua Tee; Lo, Chrystella H. M. – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2016
The field of positive psychology has identified brief interventions that increase individuals' well-being and decrease depressive symptoms. An example is the best possible self (BPS) activity. It is a writing exercise that asks participants to project themselves into the future, and imagine they have met all their goals in every domain of their…

Hanselman, Paul; Rozek, Christopher S.; Grigg, Jeffrey; Borman, Geoffrey D. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2017
Brief, targeted self-affirmation writing exercises have recently been offered as a way to reduce racial achievement gaps, but evidence about their effects in educational settings is mixed, leaving ambiguity about the likely benefits of these strategies if implemented broadly. A key limitation in interpreting these mixed results is that they come…

Liu, Sabrina R.; Kia-Keating, Maryam – Journal of College Student Psychotherapy, 2018
Given the rise of incidents of mass violence affecting college campuses, interventions for students are gravely needed, especially ones with broader accessibility and reach. This pilot study examined two online narrative writing interventions for undergraduates experiencing distress a year after exposure to a mass murder at their university.…

Rensing, Julia; Vierbuchen, Marie-Christine; Hillenbrand, Clemens; Grünke, Matthias – Insights into Learning Disabilities, 2016
The alarming results of large studies such as the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP; National Center for Education Statistics, 2012) point to an urgent need for writing support and call for specific and effective methods to foster writing competencies. The main purpose of this paper is to describe an innovative peer-assisted…

Hanselman, Paul; Rozek, Christopher S.; Grigg, Jeffrey; Pyne, Jaymes; Borman, Geoffrey – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2016
One approach to reducing persistent racial/ethnic achievement gaps is to tackle their social-psychological dimensions, including the negative consequences of stereotype threat and other identity threats in school. Initial research suggested that a particularly promising approach is brief self-affirmation writing exercises for 7th grade students;…

Weldeana, Hailu Nigus; Abraham, Solomon Tewolde – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2014
Many learners hold traditional beliefs about mathematics that can hamper their learning in the discipline. To address this issue, a "history-based" intervention program entailing problem-solving and writing activities that instigate cognitive conflict was implemented. Data sources were pretest and posttest scores of a 12-theme…
