q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Analysis of student application coding (Table 10) for the eight case-study students. The typical teacher's student made a one-grade-level gain despite instruction that often misaligned with ISA-X; the authors state the results add to the literature on the importance of independent engaged reader process use.

"Among the eight students examined, two students found evidence related to their purpose independently more than others. One was a student of the high gains teacher and the other was a student of the typical teacher."

Related Claims¶

• Typical-gain teacher's students received the most inappropriate directions and prompts for setting a purpose and were seldom reminded to return to the purpose with evidence — related
• High-gain teacher's high-change students received full explicit domain instruction on how and why readers set purposes, unlike the typical teacher's students — related
• Feedback on domain information (partial and full feedback on how and why readers set purposes) was provided only to the high-gain teacher's high-change students — related
