An Intervention to Provide Youth with Visual Impairments with Strategies to Access Graphical Information in Math Word Problems
This study planned to develop a technology-based intervention to support students with visual impairments in locating key information in math word problems that include graphics. Prior research has shown that students with visual impairment face challenges when working with graphical material and can miss important information resulting in errors in their problem solving. More research is needed on the efficacy of instruction and technology tools to teach students with visual impairments to ...

AnimalWatch-VI Suite: A Comprehensive Program to Increase Access to Mathematics for Students with Visual Impairments
The impact of visual impairment is widely recognized to be particularly significant for mathematics learning as vision provides important access to information that supports the development of conceptual understanding in mathematics. Students with visual impairments consistently lack access to the mathematics curriculum and therefore show substantially lower achievement in mathematics and reduced participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. Helping students with...

Efficacy Study of AnimalWatch: An Intelligent Tutoring System for Pre-Algebra
Algebra is considered a critical "gatekeeper" mathematics course for high school graduation and college enrollment, but many students continue to struggle with algebra and failure rates are high. Often, the problem is that students have not yet mastered the prerequisite computation, fractions, and algebra readiness skills necessary to successfully solve algebraic problems. One potential way to improve student mathematics achievement and prepare students for algebra may be through the use of ...

Dynamically Modifying the Learning Trajectories of Novices with Pedagogical Agents
In this project, the researchers developed an intervention designed to help novice chemistry learners revise their strategy while solving chemistry problems. This intervention built on "learning trajectories", a concept based on the observation that novices and experts think and perform differently. Learning trajectories aim to capture the stages of understanding as experience is developed, namely that initially knowledge is limited and fragmented, making it difficult for students to under...

AnimalWatch: An Intelligent Tutoring System for Grade 6 Mathematics
In this project, the researchers created and evaluated supplemental intelligent tutoring software (ITS) for supporting student learning outcomes in grade 6 mathematics. The goal of this software, called AnimalWatch, was to improve mathematics skill and achievement, particularly for students from groups that have been traditionally under-represented in science and engineering fields. AnimalWatch software was to integrate mathematics problem solving and multimedia instruction with information ...
