Despite the growing use of the Internet as a source of information for learning, few studies have focused on developing strategies to teach the skills of reflecting on and evaluating the contents and structure of the texts found online. In response to this, we designed and tested a method for teaching reading literacy based on an adaptation of the…

Metacognitive instruction supports L2 listening learners to enhance their listening comprehension skill. To date, some review studies have investigated this topic; however, none of them has reported quantitative and qualitative findings in the form of a systematic literature review. This research addresses this gap by collecting, analyzing, and…

The instruction of metacognitive strategies in listening has been increasingly implemented in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. However, there is yet a growing need to carry out this strategy instruction within a process-based approach for a more engaging and effective listening tasks. Thus, the present study attempts to investigate…

This investigation examines the impact of two psychoeducational programs (i.e., computer-assisted versus pencil-and-paper) for the empowerment of visuospatial skills of 7-year-old pupils. At pretest, posttest and at a three-month follow-up, 58 children attending the second grade of Italian primary school completed a battery of tests assessing…

In this study, it was aimed to investigate possible impact of using the KWL reading strategy in teaching the topic of "fractions and operations with fractions" to the 4th graders on students' problem-solving achievement. A quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest control group (CG) was employed in the study. The study group…

Background: Morphological analysis skill is the ability to problem-solve meanings of unfamiliar words by applying knowledge of morphological constituents. For vocabulary words from the academic layer of English, the major, meaning-carrying morphological constituents are Latin roots (nov meaning 'new' in innovative). The degree to which…

The purpose of this study was to identify the types of peer scaffolding used by Thai EFL students while completing reading activities. Pre-test, post-test and reading test procedures were implemented to measure the impact of peer scaffolding on students' reading comprehension. The peer scaffolding checklist was employed to identify the types of…

This research paper explores the effectiveness of Metacognitive Strategy Instruction [MSI] in enhancing the listening skills and autonomy of adult EFL learners in the advanced level of university preparatory studies in Oman. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, the study involved an Experimental Group [EG] and a Control Group [CG], each…

We explored the role of three math instructional practices by teachers (explicit instruction, guided practice, peer interaction) in predicting current Spanish and English reading comprehension and later Spanish and English math problem-solving performance of English learners (ELs). In this study, math was taught in Spanish. We had 26 teachers and…

This study intended to improve the worded problem-solving skills of Grade Three pupils by using the developed Mathematical Learning Package utilizing Survey Question Read Question Compute Question (SQRQCQ) strategy. Specifically, it determined the significant difference on the level of performance of the respondents before and after utilizing…

The purpose of this case study was to determine if using reading comprehension strategies to solve math word problems would help decrease math anxiety in third grade students. The research questions that guided this study included (a) how do the different reading comprehension strategies affect student self-confidence on math word problems, (b)…

This research was conducted to determine the effect of WebQuest-based teaching on reading strategies metacognitive awareness and was planned as an action research. The research's study group consisted of 24 fourth grade students in a primary school situated in a district of Afyonkarahisar during the second term of 2015-2016 school year. In the…

Recent multiplication with regrouping research shows that the combination of the concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) sequence and the Strategic Instruction Model (SIM) has been effective in several studies. More evidence is needed to demonstrate CRA-SIM's effectiveness across settings and students. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to…

The study was designed to assess the effectiveness of an alternative teaching approach strategy called the Hybrid Strategy. It was intended specifically in minimising the common errors made by students, which were Comprehension and Transformation errors, and aimed at helping students to perceive word problems as a story line to be completed using…

Elementary school children (ages 7-11) struggle to understand mathematical equivalence, a foundational prealgebraic concept. Some manipulations to the learning environment, including well-structured nontraditional arithmetic practice alone, have been shown to improve children's understanding; however, improvements have been modest. The goal of…
