Recently, virtual reality seems to be deevloping rapidly. However, it can be said that virtual reality is in the early days of adoption for education. Studies show that using virtual reality in education can positively affect students' learning experiences. In this study, the effect of an educational virtual reality game, named "Kesfet…

With high stakes testing in public schools, pressure for success prompts schools to implement intervention programs for reading and mathematics, often at the expense of extra-curricular and elective activities. Previous literature indicated a correlation between reading comprehension and mathematical understanding. This study examined the specific…

The WIRE Youth Development Programs, housed within the Lewis Walker Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnic Relations at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI, foster two enrichment programs geared towards strengthening the gap in academic knowledge through STEM/STEAM activities. Since its inception, WIRE has impacted over 1,000 youth…

While policymakers have demonstrated considerable enthusiasm for "science of reading" initiatives, the evidence on the impact of related reforms when implemented at scale is limited. In this pre-registered, quasi-experimental study, we examine California's recent initiative to improve early literacy across the state's lowest-performing…

Studies on math learning programs are lacking that consider a wide set of outcome variables, and students' practice behavior. Therefore, we investigated whether an adaptive arithmetic learning program fosters students' math performance (addition and subtraction), math self-concept, and a reduction of math anxiety, and how practice behavior…

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of teaching integers by lesson study model on students' success and attitudes in mathematics. The research uses quantitative technique, "quasi-experimental design" with pre-test post-test control groups. The participants of the study are 62 sixth grade students and 4 teachers in three…

We present a recent randomized field trial delivered in Carnegie Learning's MATHia's intelligent tutoring system to a sample of 12,374 learners intended to test whether rewriting content in a selection of so-called "word problems" improves student mathematics performance within this content, especially among students who are emerging as…

Edmentum offers a personalized learning platform called Exact Path. This quasi-experimental study, designed to meet ESSA Tier 2 evidence and What Works Clearinghouse standards with reservations, aimed to assess the efficacy of Exact Path in a district from the Midwestern United States. The goal was to provide specific recommendations to educators…

Artificial intelligence (AI) shows increasing potential to improve mathematics instruction, yet integrative quantitative evidence currently is lacking on its overall effectiveness and factors influencing success. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigate the effectiveness of AI on improving mathematics performance in K-12 classrooms…

The "Coding Our Future" intervention aimed to develop and implement a Computer Science (CS) curriculum, and to train teachers to offer computer science courses in elementary and middle schools. Its goals were to enhance students' competency and self-efficacy in computer science and to boost the enrollment of underrepresented students in…

Overwhelming evidence supports the fact that music instruction greatly increases academic achievement on standardized test scores at the elementary, middle and high school level. When school districts face budget deficits, typically they alleviate the shortfall by eliminating music programs. Currently in Dallas ISD, teacher salaries are affected…

This study compared students' performance on Istation, a computer-based progress-monitoring tool, and easyCBM, a paper-pencil progress-monitoring tool. Participants included 106 students in Grades K-6 from a rural school in New Mexico. Teachers in these grade levels administered both assessments three times during the school year. Results…

Many incoming college freshmen who do not meet minimum standardized exam cut-score requirements are often determined to be not ready for college level coursework and registered for pre-requisite, multi-semester, remedial course sequences. The goal of pre-requisite courses is to prepare students for college-level courses prior to enrollment in…

Background: The relation between the human body movements and cognition has been a research hotspot in physical education and health promotion in recent years. This study applied the embodied cognition theory to examine the effects of the Movement Integrity with Intelligent Play (MIIP) program on preschoolers' math performance. Objective: This…

This study explored the potency of CTCA in reducing math anxiety and promoting meaningful learning of mathematics among secondary school students. The study adopted a mixed-method (explanatory sequential) design involving a quasi-experimental design and individual in-depth interviews. Participants were drawn from two schools, purposively selected…
