Mikaela A. Daries; Tracy N. Bowles – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2024
Background: Research acknowledges the importance of phonological processing and orthographic processing for reading and spelling in both consistently and inconsistently written languages. While the focus has tended to be on the role of phonological processing in languages with consistent orthographies, the role of orthographic processing,…

Taylor, Cynthia E.; Jackson, Christa; Buchheister, Kelley – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
Culturally rich stories may not explicitly refer to mathematical content. Consequently, teachers may overlook the potential for using content-invisible literature as a resource for mathematical investigations. Reflecting on the key elements of the what from the What-How-Who structure builds teachers' capacity to develop paramount tasks from…

Ontuganova, Shynar; Amangeldi, Japbarov; Lyazzatkul, Akynova – Cypriot Journal of Educational Sciences, 2022
This paper considers one of the relevant problems of modern pedagogy - the use of logical approaches in teaching to the development of thought and language of primary schoolchildren. The purpose of the study is to determine the main criteria for the developmental education of thought and language to primary school children and to assess the level…

Günes, Canan – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2021
When two third-graders collaboratively manipulated a multi-modal, digital learning device called TouchTimes (hereafter, TT), that introduces multiplication through visual, tangible and symbolic means, their thinking about quantity shifted from being additive to being multiplicative. In this study, I examine the children's interactions around/with…

Jonathan Brown; Erin Turner; Delia Sotelo Fierros – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Mathematical modeling involves using mathematics to represent, analyze, and make predictions or decisions about real- world situations. Garfunkel and Montgomery (2016) elaborate on six components of the mathematical modeling process, including identifying the problem, making assumptions and identifying variables, doing the math, analyzing and…

Faria, Ana Raquel; Viseu, Floriano; Gomes, Alexandra; Aires, Ana Paula – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2021
Due to their abstract nature, representation of mathematical concepts through different registers favors their understanding. In the case of ''sequences and regularities'', it becomes propitious the exploration of different registers of representation in the institution of topics, such as term, order, formation law, and generating expression.…

Holub, Jordan; Kruse, Jerrid; Menke, Lucas – Science and Children, 2019
In this article, the authors focus on students constructing observations of patterns to understand how surfaces affect the motion of an object. Students will use the patterns they observe to predict future motion of marbles (NGSS Lead States 2013). Students then apply their learning by engaging in an engineering task. By giving students a task to…

Jerae Kelly; Kelli Cummings – Reading Psychology, 2024
Theory of Mind (ToM) is a skill of social cognition recently of interest to literacy researchers. This article presents initial findings from a pilot study investigating the use of ToM to teach theme identification and theme statement formation to beginning readers who are less-skilled in comprehension. The authors designed a brief, 1:1 listening…

Mesquita, Ana; Carvalhais, Lénia; Limpo, Teresa; Castro, São Luís – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
This study investigates spelling abilities of 189 second, third, and fourth graders using a word and pseudoword dictation task in European Portuguese. We analyzed the effect of orthographic complexity on spelling accuracy and the moderating role of length (two vs. three syllables), lexicality (words vs. pseudowords), and grade (second, third, and…

Karousou, Alexandra; Nerantzaki, Theodora – Second Language Research, 2022
Recent studies highlight the important contribution of phonological working memory (PM) in the early stages of both native and foreign language development. However, research on the effects of PM training on language development is very limited. This study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of a PM training educational intervention as a means of…

Alexander, Patricia A.; Zhao, Hongyang; Sun, Yuting – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2020
In this study, we analyzed the imprecise (i.e., less mathematically precise) responses that 148 third- to fifth-grade Chinese students made on selected-response problems that were part of a spontaneous mathematical focusing task, the Quantitative Relations Test for Chinese Children (QRTC[superscript 2]). The purpose for this analysis was to…

Basu, Debasmita; Panorkou, Nicole – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2018
This study is part of a larger project exploring students' thinking of Dynamic Measurement (DYME), an approach to area measurement that engages students in dynamic digital experiences of measuring rectangular surfaces through sweeping lengths. The goal of this study was to evaluate the extent to which students could bridge the mathematical…

Tadic, Nadja – Language and Education, 2019
Educators have long been advocating for the appropriation of students' interests into the classroom as a means of promoting participation and learning. However, little attention has been paid to the possible issues that interest-driven pedagogy might engender for both teachers and students through its blend of the personal and academic. This…

Matik, Christine A. – ProQuest LLC, 2017
The purpose of this study was to explore how third grade students experience challenging tasks. The study utilized a phenomenological approach to allow the researcher to understand lived experiences of the participants. Grade three was chosen because it is a pivotal year in education in which students move from learning skills to using skills for…

Forbes, Cory T.; Cisterna, Dante; Bhattacharya, Devarati; Roy, Ranu – American Biology Teacher, 2019
Learning about heredity is important across the K-12 continuum. However, these ideas may be challenging for students. We examined third-grade students' ideas about heredity in the context of a new, six-week, model-based science unit that uses corn as a model organism to support students' ideas about heredity. We analyzed data collected during…
