The use of education technology (EdTech) has been widely recognised as a potential catalyst for improving learning outcomes, including in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where access to quality education remains challenging. However, care must be taken in the implementation, as the selected tools, resources and application have a large…

Background: Performance with fractions has been a weak point in U.S. education for decades and has not improved in recent years (Siegler, 2017). High School math teachers frequently rate their students' knowledge of fractions as "poor" and see this lack of foundational knowledge as one of the top barriers to students mastering algebra…

This study examines the usage and effectiveness of Lexercise, a hybrid reading intervention program combining weekly literacy intervention with structured independent practice, in supporting reading skill development among struggling readers. Analysis of 198 students in grades 2-6 during the 2023-2024 school year revealed strong adherence to the…

This study evaluated the effectiveness of faithful use of Imagine Math, a computer adaptive math intervention for elementary students in grades three through five. To achieve this objective, the researcher compared the math achievement growth as measured by the NWEA MAP math assessments from fall 2021 to spring 2022 between the treatment group and…

This study explored whether the computational thinking skills of early elementary-aged students be positively impacted by participation in a robotics-based, classroom intervention. Action research was used to examine the impact of a multifaceted, constructionist, robotics-based intervention on 37 second and third grade students at an elementary…

Students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) have difficulty with most reading skills, including reading comprehension. Improving reading comprehension skills requires efficient interventions that consider both meaning- and code-based skills simultaneously. Using a single-subject multiple-baseline design across participants, with alternating…

Children are growing up in a media-rich digital environment where they are immersed in new technologies in unprecedented ways. Digital games are one of these technologies, and young children play a wide range of digital games. Research studies suggest that digital games support children's learning and development. The paper aims to assess digital…

A study using a multiple-baseline across participants design was conducted in a U.S. alternative education setting to examine the functional relation between students' use of a technology-based graphic organizer (TBGO) with embedded self-regulated learning strategies on the quantity and quality of their persuasive essay writing. Three third- to…

Considerable research has documented the impact of teacher perceptions on students' academic-related outcomes (e.g., classroom performance). This body of literature clearly shows that teacher perceptions (resulting from direct interactions with students) can have both positive and negative effects with respect to student behaviors and experiences…

This paper aims to explore parents' satisfaction and awareness towards online schooling efficiency using Saudi online learning platform (Madrasati) in the first three grades of primary schools during the COVID-19 pandemic and to potentially alternate face-to-face classroom learning post-pandemic. It focuses on the advantages and disadvantages. A…

This study aims to assess the impact of integrative technology on the improvement of the logical thinking of students in mathematics, their goals and the appropriate technological process. The study used mixed research methods. Participants included third-grade students attending elementary schools No. 12 and Ataturk in Kentau (Kazakhstan) during…

We study the distributional effects of remote learning using a novel approach that combines preference data from a conjoint survey experiment with administrative records of student outcomes. The experimentally derived preference data allow us to account for selection into remote learning while also studying selection patterns and treatment effect…

Little-to-no research examines the provision of targeted mathematical interventions to students struggling with mathematics in a virtual environment. And yet, the global pandemic of 2020--extending into 2021--found schools in such a scenario. This article reports two studies in which researchers explored the intervention package of explicit…

This study evaluated third grade students who received RTI instruction and third grade students who do not receive RTI instruction performance on the Renaissance STAR Reading® assessment and the SC READY assessment with respect to gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. This study is significant because it examined the academic performance…

Technology-assisted instruction has potential for helping students improve their reading skills. In the current studies, "PowerPoint" software was used to supplement teacher-led reading instruction for elementary-aged students with disabilities who struggled with phoneme blending to read words. The effectiveness of the intervention was…
