Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of this qualitative action{u2010}research study was to examine the effects of explicit instruction of metacognitive reading comprehension strategies for a group of third graders. The study was designed based on Vygotsky's theory of gradual release of responsibility. It included explicit instruction through teacher thinking aloud, modeling, scaffolding and guided practice, and ultimately individual application of selected reading strategies. The strategies explored were predicting, visualizing, summarizing, self{u2010}monitoring, following inner-voice, making connections, using prior knowledge, and employing appropriate fix{u2010}up strategies. Methods of data collection included teacher observation, surveys, student conferencing, and student work. Through the experiences of whole{u2010}group, small group, and individual discussion, students demonstrated an awareness of their own comprehension, an ability to help themselves develop understanding, and an opportunity to think more critically about what they were reading. Additionally, students demonstrated an increased improvement in responding to their reading through written responses and reflections. Students were increasingly able to express their understanding by citing evidence from the text in their written responses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential text unpacks major transformations in the study of learning and human development and provides evidence for how science can inform innovation in the design of settings, policies, practice, and research to enhance the life path, opportunity and prosperity of every child. The ideas presented provide researchers and educators with a rationale for focusing on the specific pathways and developmental patterns that may lead a specific child, with a specific family, school, and community, to prosper in school and in life. Expanding key published articles and expert commentary, the book explores a profound evolution in thinking that integrates findings from psychology with biology through sociology, education, law, and history with an emphasis on institutionalized inequities and disparate outcomes and how to address them. It points toward possible solutions through an understanding of and addressing the dynamic relations between a child and the contexts within which he or she lives, offering all researchers of human development and education a new way to understand and promote healthy development and learning for diverse, specific youth regardless of race, socioeconomic status, or history of adversity, challenge, or trauma. The book brings together scholars and practitioners from the biological/medical sciences, the social and behavioral sciences, educational science, and fields of law and social and educational policy. It provides an invaluable and unique resource for understanding the bases and status of the new science, and presents a roadmap for progress that will frame progress for at least the next decade and perhaps beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The following research study reports the effects of Think-Alouds, Reciprocal Teaching, and Reflective Journaling on the reading comprehension of third grade students. Data was gathered via pre- and post-surveys, researcher observations, student work, student quotations, member-checks, and assessment scores from global reading tests. The strategies were implemented one at a time. Think-Alouds and Reciprocal Teaching were modeled by the teacher and scaffolded so that most participants were able to use them independently by the end of the study. Reflective journal entries were collected throughout the study. Analysis of the data revealed that students' reading comprehension was positively affected by the three metacognitive strategies. Appropriate instruction of metacognitive strategies have a beneficial impact on the reading comprehension of third grade students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Why Knowledge Matters, influential scholar E. D. Hirsch, Jr., addresses critical issues in contemporary education reform and shows how cherished truisms about education and child development have led to unintended and negative consequences. Hirsch, author of The Knowledge Deficit, draws on recent findings in neuroscience and data from France to provide new evidence for the argument that a carefully planned, knowledge-based elementary curriculum is essential to providing the foundations for children’s life success and ensuring equal opportunity for students of all backgrounds. In the absence of a clear, common curriculum, Hirsch contends that tests are reduced to measuring skills rather than content, and that students from disadvantaged backgrounds cannot develop the knowledge base to support high achievement. Hirsch advocates for updated policies based on a set of ideas that are consistent with current cognitive science, developmental psychology, and social science. The book focuses on six persistent problems of recent US education: the over-testing of students; the scapegoating of teachers; the fadeout of preschool gains; the narrowing of the curriculum; the continued achievement gap between demographic groups; and the reliance on standards that are not linked to a rigorous curriculum. Hirsch examines evidence from the United States and other nations that a coherent, knowledge-based approach to schooling has improved both achievement and equity wherever it has been instituted, supporting the argument that the most significant education reform and force for equality of opportunity and greater social cohesion is the reform of fundamental educational ideas. Why Knowledge Matters introduces a new generation of American educators to Hirsch’s astute and passionate analysis.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of using a simple, specific inference generation technique on the reading comprehension of elementary age students that teachers can use in their classrooms. The expected result of this study is an improvement in overall reading comprehension scores due to the use of this inference generation technique. It is the hope of the researcher that, if proven effective, this technique can be useful for elementary school teachers in their efforts to improve the reading comprehension of their students. This study took place over the course of four weeks in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The sample population was selected from the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area and range in age from eight to eleven years old. The study sought to explore methods that could improve outcomes for Common Core Standard CCSS. ELA-Literacy. RL.3.10: "By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poetry, at the high end of the grades 2-3 text complexity band independently and proficiently."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We had our first conversation about cognition, metacognition, and reading in September of 1976. Our particular concern was with reading and learning to read, and what, if anything, meta cognition might have to do with it all. We didn't really know much about metacognition then, of course, but then most other people were in the same predicament. Some people had been working with interesting approaches and results on metalanguage and reading, among them J. Downing, L. Ehri, L. Gleitman, 1. Mattingly, and E. Ryan, and it also was about that time that people were becoming aware of E. Markman's first studies of comprehension monitoring. Other than that perhaps the most influential item around was the perhaps already "classic" monograph by Kruetzer, Leonard, and Flavell on what children know about their own memory. Also in the air at that time were things like A. Brown's notions about "knowing, knowing about know ing, and knowing how to know," D. Meichenbaum's ideas about cognitive behavior modification, and the work by A. Brown and S. Smiley on the awareness of important units in text. Even though these developments were cited as new and innovative, it was not the case that psychologists had never before been of questions. They certainly interested in, or concerned with metacognitive sorts had, as clearly evidenced by the notion of "metaplans", in Miller, Galanter, and Pribram's Plans and the Structure of Behavior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too often, students who fail a grade or a course receive remediation that ends up widening rather than closing achievement gaps. According to veteran classroom teacher and educational consultant Suzy Pepper Rollins, the true answer to supporting struggling students lies in acceleration. In Learning in the Fast Lane, she lays out a plan of action that teachers can use to immediately move underperforming students in the right direction and differentiate instruction for all learners—even those who excel academically. This essential guide identifies eight high-impact, research-based instructional approaches that will help you * Make standards and learning goals explicit to students. * Increase students' vocabulary—a key to their academic success. * Build students' motivation and self-efficacy so that they become active, optimistic participants in class. * Provide rich, timely feedback that enables students to improve when it counts. * Address skill and knowledge gaps within the context of new learning. Students deserve no less than the most effective strategies available. These hands-on, ready-to-implement practices will enable you to provide all students with compelling, rigorous, and engaging learning experiences.
