Jiahui Zhang; William H. Schmidt – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2024
Measuring opportunities to learn (OTL) is crucial for evaluating education quality and equity, but obtaining accurate and comprehensive OTL data at a large scale remains challenging. We attempt to address this issue by investigating measurement concerns in data collection and sampling. With the primary goal of estimating group-level OTLs for large…

Yuan, Yuan; Chen, Kuolong – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
This study used fraction number line estimation tasks to evaluate students' developmental patterns, and the relationship of such tasks with whole number bias was explored. In total, 189 fourth-grade students in a northern Taiwan elementary school were followed over 2 years. The results demonstrated that the students' fraction learning development…

Powell, Sarah R.; Akther, Syeda Sharjina; Yoon, Na Young; Berry, Katherine A.; Nemcek, Carmen; Fall, Anna-Maria; Roberts, Greg – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2023
This study examined the influence of addition and subtraction practice embedded within a word-problem intervention for Grade 3 students experiencing word-problem difficulty. Students (N = 448) were randomly assigned to one of two variants of a word-problem intervention or a business-as-usual comparison condition. Within the word-problem…

Dag, Funda; Sumuer, Evren; Durdu, Levent – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Today, computational thinking (CT), which is considered to be a form of literacy, has taken its place in the ICT curriculum of many countries at the K-12 level. Therefore, there is a need for more evidence with regards to a theoretical and practical understanding of CT skills' development of K-12 students. Objectives: The purpose of…

Hoth, Jessica; Heinze, Aiso; Huang, Hsin-Mei E.; Weiher, Dana Farina; Niedermeyer, Inga; Ruwisch, Silke – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
Measurement estimation skills are relevant for our everyday life and should be addressed in the mathematics classroom. Although students' measurement estimation skills were examined in several empirical studies, a structure model to describe these skills is still missing. The current research aimed at analyzing the structure of length estimation…

El-Hamamsy, Laila; Zapata-Cáceres, María; Barroso, Estefanía Martín; Mondada, Francesco; Zufferey, Jessica Dehler; Bruno, Barbara – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
With the increasing importance of Computational Thinking (CT) at all levels of education, it is essential to have valid and reliable assessments. Currently, there is a lack of such assessments in upper primary school. That is why we present the development and validation of the competent CT test (cCTt), an unplugged CT test targeting 7-9 year-old…
