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

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Case-study coding of instructional scaffolding (direct, prompt, demonstrate) across the eight students. Two typical-teacher students also received inappropriate demonstrations; the article argues reminders to return to the purpose with evidence are important because without them purpose setting has little value.

"The T-teacher's students were provided with the most directions and prompts that were inappropriate related to setting a purpose compared to the high change teacher's students. The T-teacher's low change score students were provided with the least scaffolding during reading since students were seldom reminded to read with their purpose in mind"
