Modeling Elementary Aged Students' Fluency Growth In Written Expression: Predicting Fluency Growth For Girls And Boys In General Education, Adrea J. Truckenmiller
Modeling Elementary Aged Students' Fluency Growth In Written Expression: Predicting Fluency Growth For Girls And Boys In General Education, Adrea J. Truckenmiller
Psychology - Dissertations
Research on evidence-based writing intervention practices as well as reliable and valid assessments of elementary-aged students' writing fluency has been lacking compared to other academic areas (i.e., reading). Performance feedback interventions targeting writing fluency are gaining empirical support (Eckert et al., 2006); however, growth trajectories for elementary-aged students' writing fluency over a short period of time and contributing variables have not been explored. The purpose of this study was to model students' writing fluency growth as it relates to: (a) instructional practices, (b) sex differences, and (c) individual student's initial level of writing fluency. A total of 133 third-grade students …
Development Of A Daily Diary Method For The Assessment Of Everyday Cognitive Failures, Jacqueline Mogle
Development Of A Daily Diary Method For The Assessment Of Everyday Cognitive Failures, Jacqueline Mogle
Psychology - Dissertations
Assessing how well an individual can meet real world cognitive demands is an important clinical outcome, particularly for older adults. Research examining real world cognitive functioning has used both lab-based tasks as well as questionnaires. However, these assessments were limited for a number of reasons. Lab-based tasks lack personal relevance which may affect the strategies and amount of effort individuals apply, reducing their ecological validity. Questionnaires are considered more ecologically valid but require individuals to recall cognitive failures over weeks and months depending on an individual's fallible cognitive ability to remember their mistakes over long periods of time. More recent …
The Transition To Kindergarten: Impact Of Transition Preparation On Socio-Behavioral Outcomes For Children With And Without Disabilities, Leah K. Wildenger
The Transition To Kindergarten: Impact Of Transition Preparation On Socio-Behavioral Outcomes For Children With And Without Disabilities, Leah K. Wildenger
Psychology - Dissertations
The transition to kindergarten is regarded as a key early childhood developmental milestone with important implications for later school outcomes. This period presents many challenges to children with and without disabilities, their families, and teachers. Despite its importance, there are few empirical studies that examine kindergarten transition. In particular, no prior research has investigated the impact of transition practices on kindergarten outcomes for both populations of children with and without disabilities. Therefore, the overarching goal of the current study was to examine the relationship between kindergarten transition preparation and child socio-behavioral outcomes in kindergarten among both typically developing children (TD) …
Ecological Momentary Intervention [Emi]: Incorporating Mobile Technology Into A Disordered Eating Treatment Program For College Women, Kristin E. Heron
Ecological Momentary Intervention [Emi]: Incorporating Mobile Technology Into A Disordered Eating Treatment Program For College Women, Kristin E. Heron
Psychology - Dissertations
Psychosocial and health behavior treatments can be extended beyond research and clinical settings by using mobile technology to provide Ecological Momentary Interventions [EMI] to individuals as they go about their daily lives. This study integrates the assessment (i.e., Ecological Momentary Assessment; EMA) and intervention (i.e., EMI) capacities of palmtop computers to provide individually tailored EMI to participants in real time. The feasibility and efficacy of using EMI to augment a disordered eating treatment intervention for college women was evaluated. Participants were randomized to view psychoeducational videos on a computer (attention control), complete an interactive CD-ROM-based intervention aimed at reducing body …
School-Home Performance Feedback With Home-Based Writing Activities: The Effects On Elementary Students’ Writing Fluency, Jennifer Lynn Rymanowski
School-Home Performance Feedback With Home-Based Writing Activities: The Effects On Elementary Students’ Writing Fluency, Jennifer Lynn Rymanowski
Psychology - Dissertations
Parent involvement in education has been identified as influential in children's learning and associated with positive outcomes on students' academic and behavioral competency (Christenson, 2004; Doherty & Peskay, 1992; Henderson, 2007). Studies have suggested that parents and teachers prefer programs that utilize school-home feedback notes and provide parents with strategies for implementing educational activities at home (Gettinger & Guetschow, 1998). The current study examined the effects of combining school-home performance feedback with home-based writing activities on students' writing fluency in comparison to students who participated in a performance feedback intervention. A total of 101 third-grade students were randomly assigned to …
