Bausch, Margaret E.; Ault, Melinda Jones – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2008
The use of an implementation plan or similar form will help guide teams thinking through and planning for the unique features that are associated with assistive technology (AT) implementation. Too often teams receive AT devices for their students, but proper implementation fails to occur--thereby preventing adequate students progress. In this…

Lee, David L.; Belfiore, Phillip J.; Budin, Shannon Gormley – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2008
Recently, high-probability request sequences has shown promise as a method to enhance student compliance using positive methods without sacrificing the quality of the assignment. High-probability request sequences use a series of preferred behaviors to increase the likelihood that nonpreferred behaviors will occur. For this intervention, a series…

Ram-Tsur, Ronit; Faust, Miriam; Zivotofsky, Ari Z. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2008
The present study investigates the performance of persons with reading disabilities (PRD) on a variety of sequential visual-comparison tasks that have different working-memory requirements. In addition, mediating relationships between the sequential comparison process and attention and memory skills were looked for. Our findings suggest that PRD…

Bailey, Thomas; Jeong, Dong Wook; Cho, Sung-Woo – Community College Research Center, Columbia University, 2010
Developmental education is designed to provide students with weak academic skills the opportunity to strengthen those skills enough to prepare them for college-level coursework. The concept is simple enough--students who arrive unprepared for college are provided instruction to bring them up to an adequate level. In practice, developmental…

Deeney, Theresa A. – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2008
Although supplemental reading services are meant to improve reading achievement of struggling readers and students with reading disabilities, without concerted effort to ensure communication and coordination with in-school instruction, they may fall short of their desired mark. To promote learning, it is critical that any services provided outside…

Horton, Todd A.; Barnett, Jennifer A. – Canadian Social Studies, 2008
Unit planning is perhaps the most difficult of the teacher duties to execute well. This paper offers suggestions for improving focus and increasing the meaningfulness of thematic unit content for students. Stressing the concept of a Big Understanding, it outlines 6 sequential steps in the creation of units which, when applied, not only establish a…

Osman, Magda; Wilkinson, Leonora; Beigi, Mazda; Castaneda, Cristina Sanchez; Jahanshahi, Marjan – Neuropsychologia, 2008
The striatum is considered to mediate some forms of procedural learning. Complex dynamic control (CDC) tasks involve an individual having to make a series of sequential decisions to achieve a specific outcome (e.g. learning to operate and control a car), and they involve procedural learning. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that…

Hanuscin, Deborah L.; Lee, Michele H. – Journal of Elementary Science Education, 2008
The learning cycle has been embraced as a teaching approach that is consistent with the goals of the "National Science Education Standards" (National Research Council, 1996). Science teacher educators may be disappointed to find, however, that preservice teachers may fail to grasp this model, even after extensive instruction (e.g., Settlage,…

Bearden, J. Neil; Connolly, Terry – Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, 2007
This article describes empirical and theoretical results from two multi-attribute sequential search tasks. In both tasks, the DM sequentially encounters options described by two attributes and must pay to learn the values of the attributes. In the "continuous" version of the task the DM learns the precise numerical value of an attribute when she…

Geraldi, Kevin M. – Music Educators Journal, 2008
In this article, the author explains that before beginning to create concert programs, it is important that ensemble conductors first develop a long-term curricular plan to which each individual program will contribute.

Mills, Nicole – Foreign Language Annals, 2009
Project-based learning (PBL) is described as a student-centered approach to learning in which students collaborate on sequential authentic tasks and develop a final project. Through opportunities to integrate both language and content learning, PBL practitioners suggest that meaningful language use and purposeful communication are fostered…

Bailey, Thomas; Jeong, Dong Wook; Cho, Sung-Woo – Community College Research Center, Columbia University, 2008
After being assessed, many students entering community colleges are referred to one or more levels of developmental education. While the need to assist students with weak academic skills is well known, little research has examined student progression through multiple levels of developmental education and into entry-level college courses. The…
