Do Mathematics and Reading Skills Impact Student Science Outcomes?

Establishing validated science programs for students with or at risk for learning disabilities requires testing treatment effects and exploring differential response patterns. This study explored whether students' initial mathematics and reading skills influenced their treatment response to a whole-class, second-grade science program called Scientific Explorers (Sci2). The original Sci2 study employed a cluster randomized controlled design and included 294 students from 18 second-grade classrooms. Differential effects of the program by initial mathematics and reading skill levels were not observed for an interactive science assessment and a distal science outcome measure. However, based on initial reading skill levels, moderation results were found on a science vocabulary measure, suggesting the effects of Sci2 were greatest for students with higher initial reading skills. Similar results were found using initial mathematics skill levels as a predictor of differential response such that students with higher mathematics skills reaped stronger treatment effects on the vocabulary measure. Further, we found initial mathematics skills also influenced outcomes on the proximal science content assessment, where students with higher initial mathematics skills led to higher outcomes. Overall, findings suggest Sci2 produced robust effects for all students (g = 0.24-1.23), regardless of initial skill proficiencies. Implications for exploring differential response in science intervention research are discussed.

Do Cognitive and Non-Cognitive Factors Predict Responses to Reading Fluency Interventions?

We investigated whether emotional and motivational factors had predictive effects beyond those of cognitive factors on responses to two reading fluency interventions. Eighty-two dysfluent readers (Grades 3–5) participated in a 12-week school-based fluency intervention, either combined with or without self-efficacy support. Response to the intervention was determined by the fluency gain score and the Reliable Change Index. In the skill-focused intervention, cognitive predictors contributed to the response, and reading-related anxiety and self-efficacy had effects beyond the cognitive predictors. Weaker initial reading skills and older age predicted response in the combined intervention. Thus, children's personal characteristics may have a greater influence on their responses in a skills-focused intervention than in an intervention that also considers emotional and motivational aspects.
