This study examined longitudinal predictive relationships between young children's classroom behaviors and their growth in mathematics skills during the primary grades. Using Early Childhood Longitudinal Study--Kindergarten cohort, authors tested a model featuring positive (interpersonal approaches to learning) negative (internalizing externalizing) at kindergarten entry as predictors of achievement through 3rd grade. Results indicated that demonstrate negligible with early development...

.A critical component in enhancing academic success is identifying children at risk of later difficulties. Although significant efforts have been devoted to design effective assessment processes elementary school, fewer (particularly for mathematics) made preschool. The focus this study was and evaluate a brief early numeracy skills screening tool. Measure development validation occurred two-stage process with diverse distinct samples. In the first stage, 393 preschool were assessed on...

Abstract A 9-month training experiment evaluated whether computer-assisted discovery learning of arithmetic regularities can facilitate kindergartners' fluency with the easiest sums. After a pretest, kindergartners at least one risk factor (n = 28) were randomly assigned to either structured add-0/1 condition, which focused on recognizing n + 0/0 and 1/1 number-after-n rules, or an active control group. Using pretest as covariate, ANCOVAs revealed that group significantly outperformed both...

In a 9-month training experiment, 64 first graders with risk factor were randomly assigned to computer-assisted structured discovery of the add-1 rule (e.g., sum 7 + 1 is number after “seven” when we count), unstructured learning this regularity, or an active-control group. Planned contrasts revealed that conditions more effective than regular instruction/practice in promoting rule. Contrary conclusions Alfieri, Brooks, Aldrich, and Tenenbaum (2011) Kirschner, Sweller, Clark (2006),...

Mitigation of substance use (SU) disorder (SUD) risk factors is a common goal prevention. Research has clarified much about including their prediction SU/SUD, associations with other etiological variables and mediation SU outcomes. Greater understanding the emergence themselves may improve For example, in lieu experimental data, level resistance to change factor (its pliability) could inform "dosage" intervention needed reduce risk.

Achieving fluency with basic subtraction and add-with-8 or -9 combinations is difficult for primary grade children. A 9-month training experiment entailed evaluating the efficacy of software designed to promote such via guided learning reasoning strategies. Seventy-five eligible first graders were randomly assigned one three conditions: (e.g., If 5 + 3 = 8, then 8 – 5), use-a-10 10 7 17, 9 16), an unguided-practice condition 30-minute sessions twice a week 12 weeks. An ANCOVA revealed that...

How best to promote fluency with basic sums and differences is still not entirely clear. Some advocate a direct approach—using drill foster memorization of facts by rote. Others recommend an indirect approach that first involves learning reasoning strategies. The purpose the present study was evaluate efficacy 2 computer-based interventions embody highlighting conceptual bases for relatively difficult strategies: subtraction as addition (e.g., 8 − 5, think: “What plus 5 equals 8?”) use-10...

Currently, there are few strengths‐based preschool rating scales that sample a wide array of behaviors believed to be essential for early academic success. The purpose this study was assess the factor structure new measure competence at‐risk populations. Teacher Rating Scales Early Academic Competence (TRS‐EAC) includes two broad (Early Skills and Enablers) completed by 60 teachers 440 children enrolled in Head Start public classrooms. Evidence from exploratory analyses supported five‐factor...

Previously, researchers have relied on asking young children to plot a given number 0-to-10 line assess their mental representation of numbers 1 9. However, such ("conventional") number-to-position (N-P) task may underestimate the accuracy children's magnitude estimates and misrepresent nature representation. The purpose this study was compare performance conventional N-P "modified" that is more consistent with discrete-quantity view measures theoretically related mathematical competencies....

An intervention experiment served to evaluate the efficacy of highly guided discovery learning relations underlying add-1 and doubles combination families compare impact such instruction with minimally instruction. After a pretest, 78 first graders were randomly assigned one three conditions: add-1, doubles, or practice-only. Each as an active control for other. The practice-only effects extra practice. For both strategies, intervention, but not control, was more successful (as indicated by...

During the COVID-19 pandemic, which began to affect Canadian universities and colleges in March 2020, educators were asked make a sudden transition, or swerve, teaching remotely. Subsequently, these same teachers made shift remotely longer term, through fall winter of 2020-21; pandemic continued higher education into 2022. Through interactive interviews, authors have woven together individual experiences across Canada, found that faced unprecedented challenges, as well unimagined silver...
