Katchmark, Laura; McCabe, Elisabeth; Matthews, Kristen; Koomen, Michele – Science and Children, 2020
What better way to engage fifth-grade students in science and engineering practices than to use paper airplanes to encourage them to question, explore, create, and test designs! This multi-day unit draws from a fourth-grade curriculum (Pearson 2012) aligned with the "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS Lead States 2013) used in…

Goodrich, J. Marc; Hebert, Michael; Savaiano, Mackenzie; Andress, Tim T. – Elementary School Journal, 2020
Research indicates that sentence-combining instruction is effective for improving writing outcomes; however, no studies to date have examined the effects of sentence-combining instruction on the writing skills of Spanish-speaking language-minority (LM) students. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of explicit…

Sari, Puspita; Hajizah, Mimi Nur; Purwanto, Swida – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
The number line and the neutralization model have been used very extensively in teaching integer additions and subtractions for decades. Despite their advantages, issues concerning subtractions on these models are still debatable. Therefore, the neutralization on an empty number line (NNL) model is proposed in this research to help students better…

Steven L. Wise; Megan R. Kuhfeld; Marlit Annalena Lindner – Applied Measurement in Education, 2024
When student achievement is assessed, we seek to elicit a student's maximum performance -- a goal requiring the assumption that the student is fully engaged. Otherwise, to the extent that disengagement occurs, test performance is likely to suffer. Effectively managing test-taking disengagement requires an understanding of the testing conditions…
