Short Description

The purpose of this study is to identify predictors of student achievement in word problem solving after learning math content in a web-based learning environment incorporating reading scaffolds. We focused on student use of the self-summary box tool and its power to predict success or failure in math word problem-solving. We employed a decision tree model, finding that students’ commitment to learning can be a more crucial factor than reading skills in math word problem-solving when students use web-based reading scaffolds.
