Abstract In this article, we review research on the outcomes of diverse reading programs achievement struggling readers in elementary schools. Sixty‐five studies 51 different met rigorous standards. Eighty‐three percent were randomized experiments and 17% quasi‐experiments. Outcomes positive for one‐to‐one tutoring but not as large one‐to‐small group tutoring. There no differences between teachers teaching assistants tutors. Whole‐class approaches (mostly cooperative learning)...

This article reviews research on the achievement outcomes of elementary mathematics programs; 87 rigorous experimental studies evaluated 66 programs in grades K–5. Programs were organized six categories. Particularly positive found for tutoring (effect size [ES] = +0.20, k 22). Positive also seen focused professional development classroom organization and management (e.g., cooperative learning; ES +0.19, 7). Professional approaches helping teachers gain understanding content pedagogy had...

Abstract Recent initiatives in the United States and Kingdom have added greatly to amount quality of research on effectiveness secondary reading programs, especially programs for struggling readers. In this review experimental authors focused 69 studies that used random assignment ( n = 62) or high‐quality quasi‐experiments 7) evaluate outcomes 51 widely accepted measures reading. Categories using one‐to‐one small‐group tutoring, cooperative learning, whole‐school approaches including...

Uncorrected refractive error in school-aged children may affect learning.To assess the effect of a school-based vision program on academic achievement among students grades 3 to 7.This cluster randomized clinical trial was conducted Baltimore City Public Schools during school years from 2016 2019 2304 7 who received eye examinations and eyeglasses.Participating schools were 1:1:1 receive eyeglasses 1 (2016-2017, 2017-2018, 2018-2019).The primary outcome 1-year intervention impact, measured...

Given the importance of conversation practice in language learning, chatbots, especially ChatGPT, have attracted considerable attention for their ability to converse with learners using natural language. This review contributes literature by examining currently unclear overall effect chatbots on learning performance and comprehensively identifying important study characteristics that affect effectiveness. We meta-analyzed 70 sizes from 28 studies, robust variance estimation. The effects were...

ABSTRACT The issue of students dropping out before completing secondary education is a global concern with significant individual and societal consequences. Various terms, such as Early School Leaving (ESL), from Education Training (ELET), school dropout, reflect different policy perspectives on this phenomenon. Despite international efforts to address comprehensive review identifying areas strong evidence research gaps lacking. This Evidence Gap Map (EGM) systematically reviews the programs...

In recent years, the rapid development of artificial intelligence has enabled launch many new screening tools. This review aims to facilitate tool selection through a systematic narrative and feature analysis. The current adoption rate transparent reporting is low: by 191 studies published in Review Educational Research since 2015, we found that only eight reported More research needed understand reasons behind this phenomenon. After consulting various sources, 26 available tools market were...

The Every Student Succeeds Act has made the use of evidence even more relevant to policymakers and practitioners. What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) serves a role as reviewer practitioners attempt navigate broad expanse educational research. For this reason, it is vital interest understand whether WWC policies lead fair estimates effect sizes. Previous research (e.g. Cheung & Slavin, 2016) indicated that small studies are associated with greatly inflated This study examined could be...

Rigorous evidence of program effectiveness has become increasingly important with the 2015 passage Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). One question that not yet been fully explored is whether evaluations carried out or commissioned by developers produce larger effect sizes than conducted independent third parties. Using study data from What Works Clearinghouse, we find a “developer effect,” where produced average were substantially those identified in We explore potential reasons for...

In an effort to address health care disparities in pediatric eye care, school-based vision programs have been established. These programs, while not universally available, established at individual schools or across school districts least 20 states the United States (US). They play a critical role for students who are accessing especially disadvantaged communities. US, often provide screenings, exams, and eyeglasses directly setting. The rationale involving delivery is recognition of...

Purpose To report refractive error findings in Baltimore City schoolchildren who failed school-based vision screenings.Methods In this cross-sectional analysis, students pre-kindergarten through 8th grade screenings during school years 2016–2019 received an eye examination, including non-cycloplegic autorefraction and visual acuity (VA) measurements. Refractive was identified when there at least: −0.50 diopter (D) spherical equivalent (SE) myopia, +0.50D SE hyperopia, 1.00D astigmatism, or...

Purpose: To examine factors decreasing participation in school-based vision programs from parent and teacher perspectives.Methods: We conducted 41 semi-structured focus groups (20 groups, 21 teacher/staff groups), at 10 Baltimore 11 Chicago public elementary middle schools offering programs. School-based provided screening, eye exams, eyeglasses if needed. Focus ranged size 2-9 participants (median = 5). Sessions were recorded, transcribed, coded through an iterative process to develop...

Success for All (SFA) is a comprehensive whole-school approach designed to help high-poverty elementary schools increase the reading success of their students. It ensure in grades K-2 and then build on this later grades. SFA combines instruction emphasizing phonics cooperative learning, one-to-small group tutoring students who need it primary grades, frequent assessment regrouping, parent involvement, distributed leadership, extensive training coaching. Over 33-year period, has been...

This study evaluates the efficacy of "Tutoring with Lightning Squad" (TwLS) model, developed by Success for All Foundation, which uses trained college graduates to provide structured, cooperative learning-based tutoring small groups elementary students. The randomized controlled trial, conducted during 2021-2022 school year across 23 schools in a diverse Southern California district, aimed determine impact TwLS on reading achievement students at risk failure, comparing small-group and...

This quantitative study examines the dosage effect of a computer-assisted tutoring approach, Tutoring with Lightning Squad, on reading achievement struggling students. Using multi-site, cluster-randomized controlled trial design, 188 students in Grades 1-3 from six schools Minnesota and Virginia were randomly assigned to receive either Squad or regular instruction between November 2016 January 2017. Implementation results revealed that many treatment group did not full intended treatment....

This meta-analysis synthesized recent research on promoting learner autonomy through strategy instruction in tertiary English classrooms China for two main purposes: (a) to estimate the effects of achievement and outcomes related autonomy; (b) examine moderating a set intervention contextual characteristics. A total 49 studies contributed 111 effect sizes this meta-analysis. Using random-effects model, study finds that overall size was 0.92 (p < 0.001). The type outcome measure...

<sec> <title>UNSTRUCTURED</title> Compared to in-person mental health interventions, programs delivered through mobile applications or the internet might be more cost-effective, scalable, demand less training, and are acceptable accessible among populations. In aftermath of pandemic, use online interventions has increased significantly. However, there is limited understanding conditions populations for which these most effective. To address this gap, we conducted a meta-analysis synthesize...
