Project
Description: Word knowledge is critical for speaking, reading and writing, yet a substantial proportion of children with language impairment demonstrate poor word learning and consequently poor vocabulary. Because vocabulary has a causal relationship with reading comprehension, this presents a significant national health concern.
Project
Description: The purpose of this efficacy study is to assess whether equation-solving instruction, conducted within the context of word-problem tutoring, leads to improved word-problem solving outcomes. Word-problem proficiency is necessary to demonstrate successful mathematics performance.
Project
Description: This project focused on the idea of data-based decision-making (DBDM) at the classroom level, focusing on how teachers use assessment data to adapt their instruction to students’ individual needs. The present project investigated this idea directly and evaluated the effectiveness of teacher support on the different steps of this process.
Dataset
Part of Project: Profiles of Working Memory and Word Learning for Educational Research (POWWER)
Description: This dataset incudes data from 248 second graders (7- to 8-year-olds) with typical development from three states. One hundred sixty-seven were monolingual English-speaking and 81 were dual Spanish- and English-speaking.
Dataset
Part of Project: Developing connections between word problems and mathematical equations to promote word-problem performance among students with mathematics difficulty
Description: The purpose of this study was to explore the paths by which word-problem intervention, with versus without embedded pre-algebraic reasoning instruction, improved word-problem performance. Students with mathematics difficulty (MD;n304) were randomly assigned to a business-as-usual condition or 1 of 2 variants of word-problem intervention.
Dataset
Part of Project: Data-based decision-making in schools: Examining the process and effects of teacher support
Description: This dataset contains the relevant data related to the project "Data-based decision-making in schools: Examining the process and effects of teacher support", that were used in the associated manuscript available at https://doi.org/10.1037/edu0000530. Data and associated codebook/materials are all available at the external dataset link.
