Recently, many states passed laws requiring pre- and in-service teachers to receive professional development in dyslexia awareness. Even though misconceptions regarding dyslexia are widespread, there is a paucity of research on how to effectively remove misconceptions and replace them with accurate knowledge. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a researcher-created refutation text grounded in conceptual change theory could produce significant conceptual change in preservice teacher knowledge of dyslexia when compared with a control text about dyslexia (Dyslexia Basics, International Dyslexia Association; IDA, 2018). A sample of preservice teachers (n = 97) was randomly assigned to either the Dyslexia Basics text (n = 48) or the refutation text (n = 49). A one-way repeated ANOVA was used to identify if growth rates from pretest to posttest were differential across conditions. Results suggest that while both texts affect conceptions, the refutation text outperformed the Dyslexia Basics text (n = 97), η2 = 0.33. Effects were maintained at a delayed posttest (n = 75), η2 = 0.175. Interaction effects suggested that the amount of reading coursework did not moderate conceptual change. Implications for facilitating conceptual change of dyslexia will be discussed. 相似文献

Subtractions of the type M − S = ? can be solved by various strategies, including subtraction by addition. In this study, we investigated children’s use
of subtraction by addition by means of reaction time analyses. We presented 106 third to sixth graders with 32 large non-tie
single-digit problems in both subtraction (12 − 9 = .) and addition format (9 + . = 12). We examined the fit of three regression
models, which represented the consistent use of direct subtraction, of subtraction by addition and of flexibly switching between
both strategies based on the relative size of the subtrahend. Findings revealed that children did not switch flexibly between
the two strategies, as adults do, but that they rely on direct subtraction for problems presented in subtraction format and
on subtraction by addition for problems in addition format. We end with the major theoretical, methodological and educational
implications of these results. 相似文献

A meta-analysis of morphological interventions: effects on literacy achievement of children with literacy difficulties 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This study synthesizes 79 standardized mean-change differences between control and treatment groups from 17 independent studies,
investigating the effect of morphological interventions on literacy outcomes for students with literacy difficulties. Average
total sample size ranged from 15 to 261 from a wide range of grade levels. Overall, morphological instruction showed a significant
improvement on literacy achievement ([`(d)] \overline d = 0.33). Specifically, its effect was significant on several literacy outcomes such as phonological awareness ([`(d)] \overline d = 0.49), morphological awareness ([`(d)] \overline d = 0.40), vocabulary ([`(d)] \overline d = 0.40), reading comprehension ([`(d)] \overline d = 0.24), and spelling ([`(d)] \overline d = 0.20). Morphological instruction was particularly effective for children with reading, learning, or speech and language
disabilities, English language learners, and struggling readers, suggesting the possibility that morphological instruction
can remediate phonological processing challenges. Other moderators were also explored to explain differences in morphological
intervention effects. These findings suggest students with literacy difficulties would benefit from morphological instruction. 相似文献

Children (5 and 6 years old, n = 30) at familial risk of dyslexia received a home-based intervention that focused on phoneme awareness and letter knowledge
in the year prior to formal reading instruction. The children were compared to a no-training at-risk control group (n = 27), which was selected a year earlier. After training, we found a small effect on a composite score of phoneme awareness
(d = 0.29) and a large effect on receptive letter knowledge (d = 0.88). In first grade, however, this did not result in beneficial effects for the experimental group in word reading and
spelling. Results are compared to three former intervention studies in The Netherlands and comparable studies from Denmark
and Australia. 相似文献

The principal aim of the study is to examine the role of perceived teacher unfairness in predicting bullying behaviour. Data
were taken from the “Health Behaviour in School Aged Children” project, a cross-sectional survey investigating health behaviours
among early adolescents in selected European countries. Bullying behaviour (bully, victim, and bully/victim), perceived teacher
unfairness and others confounding factors were measured through a self-administered questionnaire filled out by a representative
sample of 4,386 (48.4% males) Italian students (11, 13, and 15 years old). Covariates included demographic characteristics,
socioeconomic status, school performance and other psychological factors. After adjusting for age and gender, teacher unfairness
showed a significant association with being a bully (OR = 1.59; CI = 1.40–1.80) and a bully or victim (OR = 1.47; CI = 1.21–1.78).
This relationship remained significant after additional adjustment for several potential confounding factors. Results show
that characteristics of the school setting such as teacher unfairness can be significant predictors of involvement in bullying
behaviour among early adolescents. 相似文献

The purpose of this study is to assess students’ conceptual learning of electricity and magnetism and examine how these conceptions,
beliefs about physics, and quantitative problem-solving skills would change after peer instruction (PI). The Conceptual Survey
of Electricity and Magnetism (CSEM), Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey (CLASS), multiple-choice test was administered
as a pre- and posttest with Solomon 4 group design to students (N = 138) enrolled on freshman level physics course. The number of chapter taught to the students was 14. Problem-solving
strategy steps were asked to students in the exam. The analyses of CSEM showed that the treatment group (g = 0.62) obtained significantly higher conceptual learning gain than the control group (g = 0.36). The conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills of the students on magnetism considerably enhanced when
PI was conducted (37% and 20%, respectively). CLASS results for 5 subscales (conceptual understanding, applied conceptual
understanding, problem solving general, problem solving confidence, and problem solving sophistication) supported the findings
of CSEM. 相似文献

Different moderators/mediators of risk are involved in developmental dyslexia (DD), but data are inconsistent. We explored
the prevalence of season of birth and its association with gender and age of school entry in an Italian sample of dyslexic
children compared to an Italian normal control group. The clinical sample included 498 children (345 boys, mean age 10.3 ± 2.1 years)
with DD, the control sample 1,276 children (658 boys, mean age 10.8 ± 2.2 years) from four elementary schools from the same
urban area, and with the same socio-economic status level. A prevalence of birth in autumn was found among children with DD
compared to controls (34% versus 24%, p < 0.0001). Children with DD were more frequently males (p < 0.0001) and had a lower mean age of school entry (p < 0.0001). Regarding the distribution of ages, 11.4% of children with DD, but none of the subjects in the control group,
started school before 5.7 years. Therefore, greater risk of DD was related to age of school entry (OR = 2.72), gender (OR = 2.16),
and season of birth (OR = 1.21). Significant interactions between boys with DD born in autumn, and correct school of entry
(OR = 2.56) were joint predictors of higher risk of DD. The association between birth in autumn and DD may be explained by
the earlier age of school entry, which may be a critical element in the youngest children with DD or at risk to DD. Whether
Italian school policy is oriented to anticipate the school entry, a closer detection of early learning disorders and associated
risk factors (familial load, specific language disorders, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) should be warranted. 相似文献

The aims of this qualitative study were (1) to add to the understanding of the growing field of psychosocial counselling in
Nepal, and (2) gather concrete points for improvement of services. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with clients
(n = 34), para-professional counsellors (n = 26) and managers (n = 23) of organizations in which psychosocial counselling was taking place. The main findings were that stakeholders generally
presented a positive view of the significance and supportive function of psychosocial counselling, while providing useful
suggestions for improvement. Matters of ongoing training and supervision, confidentiality and integration of counselling within
mainstream care provision need to be addressed and potentially adapted. Implications for other non-Western countries with
little mental health resources are discussed. 相似文献

The present study focused on investigating the effectiveness of instruction via newly developed teaching materials based on
cooperative learning when compared to a traditional approach, on ninth grade students’ understanding of metallic bonding.
Fifty-seven ninth grade science students from two science classes in the same high school participated in this study. The
same teacher taught metallic bonding with cooperative learning to an experimental group (N = 28) and with a traditional teacher centred approach to a control group (N = 29). Students’ conceptual understanding of metallic bonding was measured using the Metallic Bonding Concept Test. The results
from the Student’s t test indicated that the mean score of the students in the experimental group was significantly higher in the experimental
group (78.60, SD = 8.62), than in the control group (54.33, SD = 9.11) after treatment. In the light of the results from the
concept test and individual interviews, the misconceptions related to metallic bonding were found less in the experimental
group than traditional. Five of these misconceptions were firstly identified in this study. The individual interviews which
were done with students from experimental group immediately after the instruction showed that students had positive perceptions
about their cooperative work experiences. 相似文献

In this study, we explored the structural relationship between the students’ perceived use of cognitive and metacognitive reading strategies (CMRS) and their reading comprehension of geometry proof (RCGP), and we also examined the differences in students’ perceived use of reading strategies among the poor, moderate and good comprehenders. A sample of ninth graders (N = 533) completed a RCGP test and then the CMRS questionnaire. In the exploratory factor analysis with one subsample (n = 150), principal component analysis was used to extract factors of CMRS use for improving the CMRS instrument. Another subsample of students (n = 370) participated in the study on the confirmatory factor analysis with structural equation modelling method. Results revealed that the use of metacognitive reading strategies exerts an executive function over that of cognitive reading strategies, which directly influenced students’ RCGP. Our interesting findings were that good comprehenders tended to employ more metacognitive reading strategies for planning and monitoring comprehension and more cognitive reading strategies for elaborating proof compared with the moderate comprehenders, who in turn employed these strategies more often compared with the poor comprehenders. 相似文献

Purposely Teaching for the Promotion of Higher-order Thinking Skills: A Case of Critical Thinking 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This longitudinal case-study aimed at examining whether purposely teaching for the promotion of higher order thinking skills
enhances students’ critical thinking (CT), within the framework of science education. Within a pre-, post-, and post–post
experimental design, high school students, were divided into three research groups. The experimental group (n = 57) consisted of science students who were exposed to teaching strategies designed for enhancing higher order thinking
skills. Two other groups: science (n = 41) and non-science majors (n = 79), were taught traditionally, and acted as control. By using critical thinking assessment instruments, we have found
that the experimental group showed a statistically significant improvement on critical thinking skills components and disposition
towards critical thinking subscales, such as truth-seeking, open-mindedness, self-confidence, and maturity, compared with
the control groups. Our findings suggest that if teachers purposely and persistently practice higher order thinking strategies
for example, dealing in class with real-world problems, encouraging open-ended class discussions, and fostering inquiry-oriented
experiments, there is a good chance for a consequent development of critical thinking capabilities. 相似文献

The authors analyzed self-reported SAT scores and actual SAT scores for five different samples of college students (N = 650). Students overestimated their actual SAT scores by an average of 25 points (SD = 81, d = 0.31), with 10% under-reporting, 51% reporting accurately, and 39% over-reporting, indicating a systematic bias towards
over-reporting. The amount of over-reporting was greater for lower-scoring than higher-scoring students, was greater for upper
division than lower division students, and was equivalent for men and women. There was a strong correlation between self-reported
and actual SAT scores (r = 0.82), indicating high validity of students’ memories of their scores. Results replicate previous findings (Kuncel, Credé,
& Thomas, 2005) and are consistent with a motivated distortion hypothesis. Caution is suggested in using self-reported SAT scores in psychological
research.

Is Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) Necessary for Reformed Science Teaching?: Evidence from an Empirical Study 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Soonhye Park Jeong-Yoon Jang Ying-Chih Chen Jinhong Jung 《Research in Science Education》2011,41(2):245-260
This study tested a hypothesis that focused on whether or not teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) is a necessary
body of knowledge for reformed science teaching. This study utilized a quantitative research method to investigate the correlation
between a teacher’s PCK level as measured by the PCK rubric (Park et al. 2008) and the degree to which his/her classroom is reform-oriented as measured by RTOP (Sawada et al. 2002). Data included 33 instructional sessions of photosynthesis and heredity videotaped with 7 high school biology teachers.
Each session was given a score on both the PCK rubric and RTOP by two independent raters. Results indicate that PCK score
is significantly related to RTOP score in terms of both total score (r = .831, p < .01) and sub-component scores (ranging from r = .616 to .805, p < .01). Implications for science teacher education and future research are discussed. 相似文献

Our spelling training software recodes words into multisensory representations comprising visual and auditory codes. These
codes represent information about letters and syllables of a word. An enhanced version, developed for this study, contains
an additional phonological code and an improved word selection controller relying on a phoneme-based student model. We investigated
the spelling behavior of children by means of learning curves based on log-file data of the previous and the enhanced software
version. First, we compared the learning progress of children with dyslexia working either with the previous software (n = 28) or the adapted version (n = 37). Second, we investigated the spelling behavior of children with dyslexia (n = 37) and matched children without dyslexia (n = 25). To gain deeper insight into which factors are relevant for acquiring spelling skills, we analyzed the influence of
cognitive abilities, such as attention functions and verbal memory skills, on the learning behavior. All investigations of
the learning process are based on learning curve analyses of the collected log-file data. The results evidenced that those
children with dyslexia benefit significantly from the additional phonological cue and the corresponding phoneme-based student
model. Actually, children with dyslexia improve their spelling skills to the same extent as children without dyslexia and
were able to memorize phoneme to grapheme correspondence when given the correct support and adequate training. In addition,
children with low attention functions benefit from the structured learning environment. Generally, our data showed that memory
sources are supportive cognitive functions for acquiring spelling skills and for using the information cues of a multi-modal
learning environment. 相似文献

Orthographic spelling is a major difficulty in German-speaking children with dyslexia. The aim of the present study was to
evaluate the effectiveness of an orthographic spelling training in spelling-disabled students (grade 5 and 6). In study 1,
ten children (treatment group) received 15 individually administered weekly intervention sessions (60 min each). A control
group (n = 4) did not receive any intervention. In study 2, orthographic spelling training was provided to a larger sample consisting
of a treatment group (n = 13) and a delayed treatment control group (n = 14). The main criterion of spelling improvement was analyzed using an integrated dataset from both studies. Repeated-measures
analysis of variance revealed that gains in spelling were significantly greater in the treatment group than in the control
group. Statistical analyses also showed significant improvements in reading (study 1) and in a measure of participants’ knowledge
of orthographic spelling rules (study 2). The findings indicate that an orthographic spelling training enhances reading and
spelling ability as well as orthographic knowledge in spelling-disabled children learning to spell a transparent language
like German. 相似文献

This study was designed to compare the effects of Team Assisted Individualization (TAI) and Student Teams-Achievement Divisions
(STAD) on fourth grade students’ academic achievement in and attitudes towards mathematics. Seven classes of a school were
randomly selected for this experimental study. Two of these were given instruction through TAI; two through STAD, and the
remaining three were treated as a control group. For the purpose of the data analysis regarding academic achievement, the
3 X 1 covariance analysis was used to compare the groups. As a result of this comparison, both the TAI and STAD methods were
found to have positive effects (d = 1.003 for TAI and d = 0.40 for STAD) on students’ academic achievement in mathematics. The pairwise comparisons showed that the TAI method had
a more significant effect than the STAD method. The scores for the attitude towards mathematics were analyzed by using non-parametric
statistics. As a result of this analysis, no significant difference was observed regarding students’ attitudes towards mathematics. 相似文献

Current models of self-regulated learning emphasize the pervasive need for metacognitive monitoring skills at all phases of
the learning process (Winne and Hadwin in Studying as self-regulated learning. In D. J. Hacker, J. Dunlosky, & A. C. Graesser
(Eds.), Metacognition in educational theory and practice (pp. 227–304). Mahwah, NJ: Erlbaum, 1998). In this investigation, we examined the impact of teaching 5th grade students how to self-monitor their comprehension and
make confidence judgments. One treatment class (N = 21) engaged in process-oriented comprehension monitoring training while the other (N = 24) engaged in both comprehension monitoring training and response-oriented monitoring accuracy training. Findings revealed
that students in both treatment classes improved their calibration accuracy and showed higher confidence on test performance
than students in two comparison classes (N = 47, N = 26) after 2 weeks of instruction. However, students in the monitoring accuracy training class also showed significant gains
in overconfidence in comparison to those in the other three classes. Implications for integrating comprehension-monitoring
training at the elementary school level are discussed.

We examined whether university students who report a significant history of reading difficulties (RD; n = 24) differed from university students with no history of reading difficulties (NRD; n = 31) in how sentence context affects word recognition. Experiment 1 found no differences in how congruent sentence primes
or syntactic manipulations of the sentence primes affected the performance of the two groups. However, only the RD group displayed
a significant inhibition effect when the target word was preceded by an incongruent sentence prime. Experiment 2 found that
the groups differed in how meaning frequency of the target word and context strength of the sentence prime affected word recognition
latencies. The results suggest that the RD participants’ performance is context-sensitive and better explained by interactive
models of language processing than by modular models. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to elucidate the nature and efficiency of the strategies that readers with phonological dyslexia
use for temporary retention of written words in Working Memory (WM). Data was gathered through a paradigm whereby participants
had to identify serially presented written (target) words from within larger word pools according to their presentation order,
with word pools containing code-specific distracter (CSD) words and non-code-specific distracter (NCSD) words. Analyses focused
on three aspects of performance: (1) false recognition of target words; (2) correct recognition of target words; and (3) retention
of word presentation order. Participants were readers with diagnosed phonological dyslexia (n = 20, mean grade level = 9.05 [0.89]) and a control group of regular readers (n = 25, mean grade level = 9.00 [0.76]). Results provide direct evidence that the dyslexic readers and the regular readers
used essentially different memory coding strategies for the temporary retention of written words, with the former predominantly
relying on a visual strategy and the latter on a phonological strategy. Findings further pinpointed a notably impoverished
ability of the dyslexic readers to retain word presentation order. The implication of these findings is discussed in relation
to theories predicting the acquisition and mastery of reading.
