Book excerpt: Underachievement in reading in the elementary years can lead to a number of risk factors and detrimental effects for students that persist throughout the lifespan (Gibson et. al., 2013; Armbruster, Lehr, & Osborn, 2001; Hernandez, 2011; Rumberger, 2011). With many school systems in our country facing a shortage of educators (Sutcher, Darling-Hammond, & Carver-Thomas, 2016), it is imperative that schools are armed with evidence-based interventions that are both effective and feasible to implement. Computer-assisted interventions (CAIs) may fit both criteria well, as they have a strong evidence base and can be implemented with multiple students at a time (Macaruso et al., 2006). The aim of this meta-analysis was to synthesize all available randomized-controlled-trials examining the effectiveness of reading CAIs. The results suggest that overall, reading CAI's have a statistically significant and positive effect on students' reading skills (d = 0.32). Additional analyses suggested that they are particularly effective for improving phonemic awareness (d = 0.39). Additional implications as well as limitations and suggestions for future directions are discussed.
Download or read book Technology as an Intervention for Struggling Readers in Grades K 8 written by Allison Jay Michel and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role ofthe teacher is critical in ensuring that all children are successful readers by providing alternate approaches to differentiated reading instruction, particularly for those students who do not respond to conventional remedial instruction. Computer technology is one method of supplementing instruction for these struggling readers. The current role ofNCLB directing curriculum and instruction does not directly support the use of this technology for students reading below grade level. The purpose of this thesis is threefold. First, to provide a metaanalysis of the abundant research existing for computer technology as a reading intervention in school-age children; second, intent to prove enough supporting research does in fact exist to endorse computer technology for this use; and finally, to question the recommendations of the National Reading Panel to NCLB authors. The methodology in this study is presented in the form of a matrix created for clear reference in the analysis of existing research on computer assisted reading programs for elementary aged students. Conclusions are presented to support endorsement by NCLB for the use of computer reading intervention in elementary schools. KEYWORDS: computer aided instruction, computer reading programs, differentiation, No Child Left Behind, reading, remedial reading, struggling readers, technology aided instruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is about the efficacy of computer-assisted reading programs in a Pennsylvania middle school. This study aims to determine if there is a correlation between using computer-assisted reading programs and students’ reading assessment scores. The study also analyzes the relationship between students’ reading assessment scores and their grade level, gender, and ethnicity. This study pursued to answer the following questions: What is the effect of computer-assisted instruction on students’ reading assessment scores? What is the relationship between students’ reading assessment scores and their grade level, gender, and ethnicity? In the 21st century, schools all around the country engage computer-assisted reading programs. However, schools lack evidence of its effectiveness in student learning. This problem not only affects teachers’ planning but also affects student learning. The intent and spirit of the study will be to provide research evidence highlighting the efficacy of computer-assisted reading programs. The study results answered the two research questions and concluded that computer-assisted reading programs do not have much influence on student learning. Researchers can use this information and evidence for further investigation based on the study’s findings, such as using a larger population, different subject areas, and various computer-assisted learning programs. Computer-assisted learning is still in its infancy, and educators need more evidence to support their decisions to assist students in accessing their education.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quantitative, quasi-experimental research study was designed to determine the impact of a computer assisted reading instruction program on the fluency rates and comprehension skills of third and fourth grade students with reading disabilities at an Ohio suburban-metropolitan elementary school. Pretests established the participants' baseline reading skills. The participants' reading progress was monitored, during twenty-week baseline and intervention periods, with weekly measures of fluency and comprehension. Posttests measured the intervention program's impact on the participants' fluency rates and comprehension skills. Results were evaluated through visual analyses of experimental data graphs and by conducting time series matched pair t confidence interval tests to determine the reading intervention program's impact on the participants' reading skills, as measured by AIMSweb reading fluency probes, STAR reading comprehension tests, and Woodcock Johnson IV tests of reading achievement. The study provided two potential benefits for participants, improved reading fluency rates and comprehension skills, and increased value-added measures of student performance on Ohio's Common Core State Standards tests; and a third unintended benefit, improved school district's and teachers' value-added evaluation scores on the Ohio State Report Card.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we understand numbers? Do animals and babies have numerical abilities? Why do some people fail to grasp numbers, and how we can improve numerical understanding? Numbers are vital to so many areas of life: in science, economics, sports, education, and many aspects of everyday life from infancy onwards. Numerical cognition is a vibrant area that brings together scientists from different and diverse research areas (e.g., neuropsychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, comparative psychology, anthropology, education, and neuroscience) using different methodological approaches (e.g., behavioral studies of healthy children and adults and of patients; electrophysiology and brain imaging studies in humans; single-cell neurophysiology in non-human primates, habituation studies in human infants and animals, and computer modeling). While the study of numerical cognition had been relatively neglected for a long time, during the last decade there has been an explosion of studies and new findings. This has resulted in an enormous advance in our understanding of the neural and cognitive mechanisms of numerical cognition. In addition, there has recently been increasing interest and concern about pupils' mathematical achievement in many countries, resulting in attempts to use research to guide mathematics instruction in schools, and to develop interventions for children with mathematical difficulties. This handbook brings together the different research areas that make up the field of numerical cognition in one comprehensive and authoritative volume. The chapters provide a broad and extensive review that is written in an accessible form for scholars and students, as well as educationalists, clinicians, and policy makers. The book covers the most important aspects of research on numerical cognition from the areas of development psychology, cognitive psychology, neuropsychology and rehabilitation, learning disabilities, human and animal cognition and neuroscience, computational modeling, education and individual differences, and philosophy. Containing more than 60 chapters by leading specialists in their fields, the Oxford Handbook of Numerical Cognition is a state-of-the-art review of the current literature.

Download or read book The Effectiveness of Education Technology for Enhancing Reading Achievement written by Alan C. K. Cheung and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present review examines research on the effects of technology use on reading achievement in K-12 classrooms. Unlike previous reviews, this review applies consistent inclusion standards to focus on studies that met high methodological standards. In addition, methodological and substantive features of the studies are investigated to examine the relationship between education technology and study features. A total of 85 qualified studies based on over 60,000 K-12 participants were included in the final analysis. Consistent with previous reviews of similar focus, the findings suggest that education technology generally produced a positive, though small, effect (ES=+0.16) in comparison to traditional methods. However, the effects may vary by education technology type. In particular, the types of supplementary computer-assisted instruction programs that have dominated the classroom use of education technology in the past few decades are not producing educationally meaningful effects in reading for K-12 students. In contrast, innovative technology applications and integrated literacy interventions with the support of extensive professional development showed somewhat promising evidence. However, too few randomized studies for these promising approaches are available at this point for firm conclusions. (Contains 20 tables.).

This book was released on 2014 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important reading skill that is often overlooked by educators is reading fluency. There is a paucity of studies that have investigated computer programs that address this and other critical reading skills. Reading AssistantTM is a form of computer assisted instruction that uses speech recognition technology and research supported strategies to target reading fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of Reading AssistantTM on the oral reading fluency and comprehension skills of second through third grade students considered at risk for reading failure. A total of eight participants were involved in this study across a 6- to 8-week intervention period. In order to evaluate the impact of Reading AssistantTM, a multiple baseline across participants design was used. Multiple sources of data were collected to determine the overall effectiveness of the Reading AssistantTM computer program. Data for reading fluency was collected using AIMSweb reading curriculum based measurement (CBM) probes while data for reading comprehension was collected using AIMSweb maze CBM probes. The effect of the Reading AssistantTM computer program was also evaluated by determining the rate of improvement (ROI) as well as by calculating the percentage of non-overlapping data points (PND). The results of this study suggest that Reading AssistantTM may have been somewhat effective for improving the oral reading fluency and reading comprehension skills, but only for some of the participants. The effect size data do not provide a convincing demonstration that Reading AssistantTM had a substantial impact on the majority of struggling readers involved in this study. Further research is needed to establish the effectiveness of Reading AssistantTM as an intervention for reading fluency.
