q3 i? Homogeneous groups spent less time on engaged reader processes (CLASSIC mean 4.0 vs 5.0) but had higher fidelity ratings (47.7 vs 42.7) than heterogeneous groups. → Fatima Zehra Allahverdi 2025

Evidence¶

Fatima Zehra Allahverdi 2025¶

Fatima Zehra Allahverdi, Lynn Gelzheiser. (2025). Comparison of more effective and typical teachers' instructional quality and implementation of engaged reader processes. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-025-09725-8

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Correlational and descriptive analysis of 85 students (47 homogeneous, 38 heterogeneous groups). Table 6 reports means; Table 5 shows fidelity correlated 0.25* with post-test and CLASSIC correlated 0.20 (not significant at 0.05 level).

"Homogenous groups spent less time on the engaged reader processes, but the fidelity ratings suggested that the engaged reader processes instruction they received was better aligned with the ISA-X intervention, as compared to the heterogeneous groups"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Time and Continuity — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• Fidelity of implementation and percentage of instructional time on engaged reader processes added only 2% explained variance to comprehension post-test scores beyond controls — related
• Teachers allocated on average five percent of intervention sessions to predicting and purpose setting, with fidelity of implementation averaging 45.4% — related
