Upper elementary students with reading disabilities (RD) require intensive interventions to accelerate their reading achievement, as they often demonstrate deficits in basic reading skills and comprehension strategies. This paper reviews a series of three studies examining reading interventions of varying intensities for students with RD. Study 1…

This article is based on the main finding of an action research study that investigated how primary school teachers could improve the teaching of fractions. The study primarily focused on what pedagogical strategies might be employed when shifting teaching and learning from procedural application to conceptual understanding. The research aimed to…

Biochemistry lecture and lab courses often contain enzyme kinetics as part of the curriculum, but do not regularly focus on interpreting the kinetic constants. Similarly, as we implement course-based undergraduate research experiences in our lab courses, we encourage our students to produce publication-quality images and determine the enzymatic…

Guided by the Differential Susceptibility to Media Effects model, we examined the relations between parents' anxiety over their children's futures and their attitudes toward playful media for children and media featuring principles of direct instruction, as moderated by parent race (N = 600, quota sampled for race, children ages 3-7).

Information literacy instruction for evidence-based practice in health sciences education often centers around literature review assignments in research courses. Librarians may have limited opportunities to teach in clinical courses where evidence-based practice is centered around on-the-job clinical practice. Tools like LibWizard allow librarians…

This quasi-experimental study aimed to assess the effects of a music and writing program on lexical spelling in Grade 2 elementary school students. A music and writing program was developed and tested in an experimental group (n = 24) comprising a Grade 2 class in a French-language elementary school in Québec (Canada). Another Grade 2 class at the…
