Fractions Intervention with and without Self-Regulation with Growth Mindset (SR-GM) Component

The intervention, referred to as Super Solvers (3rd grade-revised), is a 13-week program that targets at-risk third-grade students' understanding of fractions, specifically fraction magnitude. The program includes three 35-min sessions per week, delivered to pairs of students. It focuses on fraction magnitude, comparing, ordering, and placing fractions on number lines, and word problems to contextualize fractions as numbers in everyday contexts. The program uses explicit, structured cognitive strategy instruction, with tutors introducing new topics with worked examples, modeling efficient solution strategies, and providing corrective feedback for incorrect responses. The program also incorporates a motivational system focused on on-task behavior and includes activities such as Fraction Flash, Problem Quest, and Power Practice to build flexibility and speed with fraction magnitude component skills.

Problem Based Economics: Teaching High School Students Economic Content and Problem-Solving Skills

Problem Based Economics is a curriculum that integrates problem-based learning with economics instruction to strengthen both content knowledge and problem-solving skills in high school students. The curriculum includes five modules that each take up a particular problem or challenge requiring economic exploration and analysis. The modules are designed to be used with a specific pedagogical strategy that involves a structured approach to problem-solving, including entry, problem framing, knowledge inventory, problem research and resources, problem twist, problem log, problem exit, and problem debriefing. Teachers are provided with professional development and ongoing support to implement the curriculum, including a five-day workshop and follow-up conference calls. The curriculum is designed to be used in a high school economics class, and the study tested its effectiveness in improving student content knowledge and problem-solving skills in economics.
