We evaluated the effects of one year of schoolwide cluster grouping on the academic achievement growth of gifted and non-identified elementary students using a piecewise multilevel growth model. Scores from 186 non-identified and 68 gifted students’ Measures of Academic Progress Reading and Math scores were examined over three school years. In 2008–2009 within-class ability grouping was used. In 2009–2010 schoolwide cluster grouping was implemented. In 2010–2011 students once again were grouped only within classrooms by ability and students identified as gifted were spread across all classrooms at each grade level. Results suggest that schoolwide cluster grouping influenced student performance in the year following its implementation, but only for mathematics and not the area of reading. 相似文献

The primary purpose of this study was to examine several key questions related to the neuropsychological contributors to early
written language. First, can we develop an empirical measurement model that encompasses many of the neuropsychological components
that have been deemed as important to the development of written language? Second, once derived, will the neuropsychological
components of this model remain stable over first and second grades or will the model change in its composition? Third, will
the strength of the relationships between neuropsychological components and writing outcomes be constant over time, or will
the strength of the relationships change over time? Finally, will the derived empirical model show significant concurrent
and predictive relationships with written expression? The sample included 205 first grade students recruited from a single
school district who were followed into the second grade via two cohorts: Measures were aligned with major neuropsychological
components as extracted from theoretical models of written expression and available empirical findings examining the neuropsychological
contributors to writing in children. These domains included fine-motor speed, language, short-term memory, long-term memory,
and various attention/executive functions including working memory. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) and longitudinal structural
equation modeling (SEM) methods documented that three core latent traits were present and stable at both grades 1 and 2: Fine-Motor,
Language, and Attention/Executive Functions. The overall model was highly related to written expression and spelling at both
grades 1 and 2, with the first grade latent traits accounting for 52 and 55% of the variance in second grade written expression
and spelling, respectively. At both grades, the Language and Attention/Executive Functions latent traits were more highly
associated with written expression and spelling than the Fine-Motor latent trait. 相似文献

The take home test was compared with the conventional closed and open book tests at the college level. It was found that scores on knowledge items were significantly higher with the take home test, and that additional time spent looking up answers was important. An additional factor was the level of anxiety, perceived by students to be less with the take home test. Rampant cheating does not appear to be a problem with take home tests. 相似文献

This report is about a study of high leadership capacity schools and those in the process of becoming such a school. Schools were selected for participation in the study based on the leadership capacity characteristics they possessed and evidence of improved and sustained student performance, professional cultures, and shared leadership dynamics. Analysis of the data examines the features, underlying factors, relationships, and patterns that contribute to leadership capacity for lasting school improvement. Ultimately, this is a story of educational leadership. 相似文献

In a randomized controlled trial, 205 students were followed from grades 1 to 3 with a focus on changes in their writing trajectories following an evidence-based intervention during the spring of second grade. Students were identified as being at-risk (n?=?138), and then randomized into treatment (n?=?68) versus business-as-usual conditions (n?=?70). A typical group also was included (n?=?67). The writing intervention comprised Lesson Sets 4 and 7 from the Process Assessment of the Learner (PAL), and was conducted via small groups (three to six students) twice a week for 12 weeks in accordance with a response-to-intervention Tier 2 model. The primary outcome was the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test-II Written Expression Scale. Results indicated modest support for the PAL lesson plans, with an accelerated rate of growth in writing skills following treatment. There were no significant moderator effects, although there was evidence that the most globally impaired students demonstrated a more rapid rate of growth following treatment. These findings suggest the need for ongoing examination of evidence-based treatments in writing for young elementary students. 相似文献

The field of education, including gifted education, suffers from a communication breakdown between classroom‐based practitioners and university‐based researchers. Research results often do not make it to the classroom where they can improve practice. This article reviews the literature regarding teacher‐performed research and argues that equipping teachers to perform their own research either individually or in collaboration with university researchers is one way to enrich teachers’ knowledge and improve classroom practice. 相似文献

Through qualitative interviews, the authors examined the experiences of six gifted high‐achieving university students to understand the factors that allowed the students to continue on their paths to success. The participants in this study revealed a number of issues that were central to their motivation upon arriving at the university. These issues included independence from family, fitting into a social network, the desire to overcome challenges in their lives, internal will, and a need to earn recognition. Our findings should help direct the development of special programs by university educators who are dedicated to meeting the needs of gifted college students. 相似文献
