Matthew E. Foster – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2024
Despite the surge in efficacy studies, the relative effectiveness of any two math interventions is largely unknown and replications are rare. To ensure that students benefit from high-quality learning experiences, the current conceptual replication of Wang and Woodworth, a randomized control trial, evaluated the relative impacts of two computer…

Alvarez-Vargas, Daniela; Wan, Sirui; Fuchs, Lynn S.; Klein, Alice; Bailey, Drew H. – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Despite policy relevance, longer-term evaluations of educational interventions are relatively rare. A common approach to this problem has been to rely on longitudinal research to determine targets for intervention by looking at the correlation between children's early skills (e.g., preschool numeracy) and medium-term outcomes (e.g., first-grade…

Clarke, Ben; Doabler, Christian T.; Sutherland, Marah; Kosty, Derek; Turtura, Jessica; Smolkowski, Keith – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
This study utilized a partially nested randomized control design to investigate the impact of Fusion, a first-grade math intervention. Blocking on classrooms, students were randomly assigned to one of the three conditions: a Fusion two-student group, a Fusion five student group, or a no-treatment control group. Two primary research questions were…

Myers, Jonté A.; Hughes, Elizabeth M.; Witzel, Bradley S.; Anderson, Rubia D.; Owens, Jennifer – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
This meta-analysis synthesized the findings of experimental and quasi-experimental studies to determine the efficacy of math interventions for enhancing the word problem-solving accuracy of students with mathematics difficulties in Grades 4 to 12. Further, we identified intervention and design characteristics that moderate the effectiveness of…

Brown, Lindsay E.; Kim, Ha Yeon; Tubbs Dolan, Carly; Brown, Autumn; Sklar, Jennifer; Aber, J. Lawrence – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Despite substantial cross-national interest in remedial programming as a way to support low-achieving students, evidence of its effectiveness is rare, particularly in low-income and/or crisis-affected contexts. In this article, we present experimental evidence of the impact of a remedial tutoring program on academic outcomes from a two-level…

Davenport, Jodi L.; Kao, Yvonne S.; Johannes, Kristen N.; Hornburg, Caroline Byrd; McNeil, Nicole M. – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
A vast majority of elementary students struggle with the core, pre-algebraic concept of mathematical equivalence. The Improving Children's Understanding of Equivalence (ICUE) intervention integrates four research-based strategies to improve outcomes for second grade students: (1) introducing the equal sign before arithmetic, (2) nontraditional…

van den Ham, Ann-Katrin; Heinze, Aiso – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
Supporting students with difficulties in learning mathematics is a challenge for teachers and educational administrators. Formative assessment is considered to play a successful role in supporting at-risk students as well as students without difficulties in mathematics. There is a need for intervention programs, including formative assessment…

Chen, Si; Zhao, Chen; Chen, Chen; Wu, Zhiping; Snow, Catherine E.; Lu, Mai – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
The One-Village-One-Preschool (OVOP) initiative aims to guarantee early childhood education (ECE) to all children in high-poverty villages in China. A challenge to policymakers is to balance expanding the scale with lengthening service duration. Following 23,775 children from preschool (4-year-old) to fourth-grade (10-year-old) in a…

de Barros, Andreas; Ganimian, Alejandro J.; Venkatachalam, Anuja – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
This study is one of the first evaluations of independent (i.e., self-guided) practice in math in a developing country. We randomly assigned 4,461 students in grades 4-7 in "unaided" private schools across seven Indian cities who were using a computer-assisted learning software to: (a) a control group, in which they moved from one unit…

Asher, Catherine Armstrong; Scherer, Ethan; Kim, James S. – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
Parental text messaging interventions are growing in popularity to encourage at-home reading, school-attendance, and other educational behaviors. These interventions, which often combine multiple components, frequently demonstrate varying amounts of effectiveness, and researchers often cannot determine how individual components work alone or in…

Keith Smolkowski; Hill Walker; Brion Marquez; Derek Kosty; Claudia Vincent; Carey Black; Gulcan Cil; Lisa A. Strycker – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
This paper reports the results of a randomized controlled trial evaluating "We Have Skills," a brief curriculum designed to teach early elementary students academic and social skills as well as improve teacher efficacy in classroom management. Intervention efficacy was tested with 127 teachers, randomly assigned to condition, and 2,817…

We conducted a randomized control trial assessing the effects of two variants of word-problem intervention with third graders (n = 304) experiencing mathematics difficulty. Students were assigned to a business-as-usual condition (BaU) or one of two variants of word-problem intervention. One variant included a pre-algebraic reasoning component…

Bitler, Marianne; Corcoran, Sean P.; Domina, Thurston; Penner, Emily K. – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
We apply "value-added" models to estimate the effects of teachers on an outcome they cannot plausibly affect: student height. When fitting the relatively simple models that are widely used in educational practice to New York City data, we find the standard deviation of teacher effects on height is nearly as large as that for math and…

Kigobe, Janeth; Van den Noortgate, Wim; Ligembe, Nestory; Ogondiek, Mary; Ghesquière, Pol; Van Leeuwen, Karla – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
This study reports on the effects of a 1-year parental involvement intervention on reading development of primary school children. The intervention included a teacher and parent training, focusing on teacher-parent communication and parental involvement in homework and reading at home. We used a cluster randomized controlled trial design with…

Hasan, Amer; Jung, Haeil; Kinnell, Angela; Maika, Amelia; Nakajima, Nozomi; Pradhan, Menno – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
This paper examines the child development outcomes of two cohorts of children who were exposed to the same intervention at different points in time. One cohort was eligible to access playgroups during the first year of a five-year project cycle, beginning at age four. The other cohort became eligible to access these services during the third year…
