Behavioral and academic effects of brainologyTodd, Melissa Kay 04 November 2013 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a computer program for students with emotional behavioral disorder (EBD) on behavior and academics. This concurrent, multiple baseline study investigated the use of Brainology with three upper elementary students diagnosed with EBD. Evaluations across behavior, academics, and behavioral academic indicators resulted in indications of possible effectiveness with one fourth grade student and limited to no effects with the other two students. There was a lack of multiple demonstration of intervention effect in this study across the baseline for behavior.
Overall, student effort appeared to increase using this intervention, which is an important finding given the problems with disengagement that students with EBD experience (Wagner et al., 2004. Despite the limited results of this study, Brainology appears to hold some promise for students with EBD and it is hoped that further research will explore this possibility further. The teachers and students indicated that the treatment had strong to moderate validity on validity measures. Implications for Brainology and students with EBD are presented. Study limitations and directions for future research and practice are discussed. / text

Software implementation of modeling and estimation of effect size in multiple baseline designsXu, Weiwei, active 2013 22 April 2014 (has links)
A generalized design-comparable effect size modeling and estimation for multiple baseline designs across individuals has been proposed and evaluated by Restricted Maximum Likelihood method in a hierarchical linear model using R. This report evaluates the exact approach of the modeling and estimation by SAS. Three models (MB3, MB4 and MB5) with same fixed effects and different random effects are estimated by PROC MIXED procedure with REML method. The unadjusted size and adjusted effect size are then calculated by matrix operation package PROC IML. The estimations for the fixed effects of the three models are similar to each other and to that of R. The variance components estimated by the two software packages are fairly close for MB3 and MB4, but the results are different for MB5 which exhibits boundary conditions for variance-covariance matrix. This result suggests that the nlme library in R works differently than the PROC MIXEDREML method in SAS under extreme conditions. / text

Teaching fractions to middle-school students struggling in mathematics : an exploratory studyMisquitta, Radhika Maria Peter 09 June 2011 (has links)
Fractions are an essential skill for students to master, and one students struggling in mathematics face particular difficulty with (National Mathematics Advisory Panel, 2008; Mazzocco & Devlin, 2008). This study employed the multi-probe multiple baseline design to examine the effectiveness of the concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) approach and explicit teaching practices to teach fraction equivalence to students struggling in mathematics. The study was conducted across four students, and replicated simultaneously across four more. The CRA approach included concrete aids such as fraction circles and fraction strips, representations such as pictures of fraction circles and polygons, and algorithms. Explicit teaching involved following a model-lead-test sequence and included an advanced organizer, corrective feedback and cumulative reviews. Results of this study indicated that the intervention program was effective to improve students‟ performances in fraction equivalence tasks. In particular, the use of
vii
representations was seen to impact performance and concrete aids alone may not be sufficient to improve performance. With regards types of representational and concrete aids employed, results of this study tended to favor the use of linear versus circular aids. Results indicated that students whose performances tend to vary may not benefit to the same extent as those who have stable profiles. Students who demonstrate variable profiles may require additional practice to master skills being taught. This study also examined transfer of skills to word problems and, results demonstrated that the CRA and explicit teaching approaches were beneficial in helping aiding transfer. Several aspects of the program may have contributed to aiding transfer including, minimal exposure to word problems during intervention, drawing connections between representations and abstract information, and incorporating the fair sharing understanding or quotient interpretation of fractions. This program concluded that students were able to maintain performances over time, and that representations in particular appeared to aid conceptual understanding and promote maintenance of skills. / text

Improving Elementary Teachers’ Well-Being through a Strengths-Based Intervention: A Multiple Baseline Single-Case DesignMccullough, Mollie Marie 31 October 2015 (has links)
Teaching is considered to be one of the most highly demanding professions, and one that is associated with high levels of stress and sometimes deleterious outcomes. Although research demonstrates that burnout and attrition are often associated with specific characteristics of the occupation (e.g., challenging workload, standardized testing, merit-based salary) minimal research focuses on how to better support teachers’ well-being. The field of positive psychology affords a new perspective in how to obtain quality mental health without solely focusing on psychopathology within a deficits-based approach. This includes the implementation of interventions (i.e., positive psychology interventions [PPI]) that target constructs of well-being (e.g., character strengths, hope, optimism, gratitude, etc.) and are associated with positive changes in authentic happiness. This study examined how a strength-based, PPI entitled Utilizing Signature Strengths in a New Way (Seligman, Steen, Park, & Peterson, 2005) impacts dimensions of teacher well-being, as well as other relevant outcomes (i.e., flourishing, burnout) within the school context. Previous research has shown that strengths-based intervention to be the PPI with the most substantial impact and the longest lasting outcomes (Seligman et al., 2005). Utilizing a concurrent multiple baseline single-case design with eight teachers, the study evaluated the effects of the strengths-based PPI on teacher’s overall happiness (i.e., subjective well-being) as indicated by self-report measures of life satisfaction and positive and negative affect. The teachers exhibited significant gains in life satisfaction and reductions in negative affect from pre- to post-intervention that were also evident one month following the intervention. Although positive affect did not significantly change from pre- to post-intervention, a significant gain was apparent at one-month follow-up. Single-case analytic strategies (i.e., visual analysis, masked visual analysis, and hierarchical linear modeling) found that the intervention positively impacted teachers’ overall subjective well-being (composite of standardized life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect scores). Results for single indicators of subjective well-being found variability in basic effects among different individuals (i.e., some teachers benefited more than others) further supporting the theory of person-activity fit. Regarding the intervention’s effects on secondary outcomes that were examined only at pre, post, and one-month follow-up time points, findings indicated the teachers experienced a significant increase in work satisfaction immediately following the intervention, as well as a significant increase in feelings of flourishing at follow-up. Significant decreases in negative dimensions of teachers’ mental health including stress and burnout (i.e., emotional exhaustion) were also demonstrated. Findings from the current study provide initial support for the efficacy of a teacher-focused, strengths-based intervention and its ability to improve multiple components of teacher well-being within an elementary school. Implications for school psychologists and policy, contributions to the literature, and future directions are discussed.

The Effects Of Computer-assisted Repeated Readings On The Reading Performance Of Middle School Students With Mild Intellectual DisabilitiesCerasale, Mark 01 January 2009 (has links)
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 has mandated that all public school students will be reading at grade level by the 2013-2014 school year. Florida has embarked on an agenda to ensure that the kindergarten through high school student population is reading at or above grade level by 2014. Many of Florida's low-performing student population, including middle school students with high incidence disabilities, are reading below grade level. Using a multiple baseline across subjects design, this study examined the impact of computer-assisted repeated readings on the reading performance of three middle school students with mild intellectual disabilities over the course of 67 days. Results showed an improvement in reading fluency rate using instructional level text. The study was evaluated using quality indicators of single-subject research in special education. Future research is advocated to replicate this study across different grades and exceptionalities.

Exploring Gesturing as a Natural Approach to Impact Stages of Second Language Development: A Multiple Baseline, Single Case Study of a Head Start ChildMendoza, Guillermo I 01 August 2016 (has links)
There is an increase in Hispanic English Language Learners (ELL). Poverty levels and lack of teacher training can also be stacked against the ELL population. Gesturing is a teaching technique that is used in successful methods such as The Natural Approach (NA) and Total Physical Response (TPR) in helping ELL students in English comprehension and output. This study examined the effects that increased teacher gestures have on the number of words spoken by the child in multiple settings. Data were collected in the context of a multiple baseline design across three settings. The results indicate that there was an effect on the amount of words spoken in two out of three settings. Suggestions are presented to expand on this effect.

Esse tipo de texto é um dos que facilita a formação do leitor reflexivo, pois o mesmo se apoia fundamentalmente na narrativa oral, tão comum durante o processo de desenvolvimento infantil. Dentre as principais preocupações das pesquisas que envolvem a produção de textos, estão as maneiras que a favorecem, principalmente quando se trata de escolares com dificuldades de aprendizagem. Nosso estudo teve como objetivo verificar os efeitos de um programa de intervenção metatextual, na elaboração de histórias escritas de escolares com dificuldades de aprendizagem. Fizeram parte de nossa amostra quatro escolares, de ambos os gêneros, com faixa etária variando entre oito anos e quatro meses e dez anos e dois meses de idade. O programa foi aplicado nas escolas dos participantes, utilizando-se um delineamento de linha de base múltipla intrassujeitos, com duas condições: linha de base e intervenção. A base para a intervenção consistiu no uso de leitura e de gravuras em sequência para formar uma história. A intervenção teve duas fases, e a diferença entre elas foi o uso de instruções dirigidas, num primeiro momento (fase A), e de uma estratégia de autorregulação, em seguida (fase B). A análise de dados foi baseada na classificação das histórias produzidas pelos escolares. Foi aplicado ainda o teste de Mann-Whitney, para analisar se houve mudanças significativas nas produções dos escolares, após a introdução da variável independente. O desempenho na produção textual, apresentado pelos escolares, após aplicação do programa, indicou que o ensino dos elementos que organizam a história modificou positivamente a elaboração das mesmas, em relação aos aspectos linguísticos e de textualidade. Em relação às categorias de histórias... / The narrative or stories text type is one of the most utilized techniques in the alphabetizing process. This text type is one those that facilitates the formation of the reflexive reader, because it stands mainly on the verbal narrative, so common during the child development process. Amongst the main concerns about the research involving text productions, is the search of ways to promote it, mainly in students with learning difficulties. The purpose of this study was to verify the effects of a metatextual intervention program on the production of written stories from students with learning difficulties. The subjects were four students, from both genders, with ages varying from 8,4 to 10,2 years. The study was performed in their own schools and the program applied was consisted of two stages: baseline and intervention. A Single-subject research design was used and the base for the intervention consisted on the utilization of pictures in sequence to produce a story and reading. The intervention had two phases and the difference between them was the use of guided instructions at a first moment (phase A) and strategy of self-regulation after that (phase B). Data analysis was based on the classification of stories produced by the students. Test Mann-Whitney was applied to analyzing the effects of the independent variable in the narratives of the students. The results showed a significant improvement in the quality of stories writing with the students. The stories produced by the students, after the application of the program, indicated that metatextual teaching to modifing of this elaboration. On the structural categories of stories, the results indicated it had improvement in the elaboration of all students. The initial narratives it had production of the 33%, with a predominance of descriptions of action. The last ones it had production of the 77%, with a better structure: adequate sequency...
