Self-monitoring is an integral part of self-regulated learning. Tools that foster learners' monitoring, such as learning journals, portfolios, or rubrics, are supposed to promote self-regulation and to improve performance. The aim of this meta-analysis was to examine the effectiveness of tools designed to foster monitoring on learning-related…

Pragmatically, machine learning techniques can improve educators' capacity to monitor students' learning progress when applied to quality data. For developing countries, the major obstacle has been the unavailability of quality data that fits the purpose. This is partly because the in-use information systems are either not properly managed or not…

This article provides evidence about predictive relationships between features of community college interventions and their impacts on student progress. This evidence is based on analyses of student-level data from large-scale randomized trials of 39 (mostly) community college interventions. Specifically, the evidence consistently indicates that…

Progress tests (PT) are a popular type of longitudinal assessment used for evaluating clinical knowledge retention and long-life learning in health professions education. Most PTs consist of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) whose development is costly and time-consuming. Automatic Item Generation (AIG) generates test items through algorithms,…

The shortage of nurses is a global crisis, particularly in remote and rural communities. Contributory factors are retirements, resignations, recent increased deaths due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the reduced production of nurses because of high attrition rates. This article's purpose was to investigate the provision of student support in the…

The purpose of this article is to describe procedures for a team approach to implementing a tangible symbol communication system (TSCS) to support communication skill development of young children with multiple/severe disabilities (MSD). The authors suggest that implementation of a TSCS is a process that includes (a) assessment of child…

This study of usage and effectiveness of Goalbook Toolkit is based on student data from a large suburban school district in the northeastern US and teacher-level application usage data from Goalbook Toolkit from the 2021-2022 school year. Goalbook Toolkit enables teachers to personalize instructional supports for specialized student populations.…

Irrespective of much research examining the effects of ego depletion on self-control related measures in social psychology, inadequate attention has been paid regarding whether ego depletion influences on logical reasoning performance. To address this gap, this experimental study randomly assigned Chinese college students (n = 112) to either an…

Progress monitoring data provide important information on student functioning in response to an intervention. Yet, there are several barriers to effective progress monitoring of internalizing symptoms among youth. To address these concerns, the current paper conceptualized the use of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) as a service delivery…

The study of the process of becoming a student is currently a key issue in educational science and psychology research. However, there is no consensus on its definition. Based on a redefinition of the concept from a psychodevelopmental and contextual perspective (Bronfenbrenner, 2005; Malrieu, 1973), the aim of this study is to document the inter-…

To fully execute multitiered systems of support (MTSS), schools must have access to screening and progress monitoring measures that are defensible and appropriate for intended use yet also must be usable within the intended context. Usability is the extent to which a measure, process, or system is acceptable and can be feasibly used by…

The purpose of this small case-study is to gain an in depth understanding of how secondary school teachers perceive that data walls impact their teaching practices and subsequently, students' learning and growth. By drawing on a conceptual model of evidence-informed practice (EIP), this case study examined responses from secondary school teachers…

Background: Measuring, assessing and managing outcomes in school practice environments is difficult due to the complex nature of school communities as well as the recent shift in service-delivery models towards tiered approaches. In tiered approaches, multiple levels of service are offered to better match students' needs. Each level of service may…

Progress monitoring data are central to making informed decisions on intervention intensification for struggling learners. The general outcome measure (GOM) of curriculum-based measurement of oral reading fluency (CBM-R) has been found to correlate with high-stakes assessment; however, data are highly variable, resulting in decisions that must be…

The 2017 Supreme Court ruling in "Endrew vs. Douglas County" charged educators to provide evidence toward the attainment of Individual Education Plan (IEP) goals beyond "de minimus" educational benefit. The purpose of this article is to present two methods that may be useful for supporting IEP teams in evaluating progress…
