However, vocabulary is a complex skill that overlaps with many different skills and can be conceptualized with different dimensions. While there is a pressing need to provide effective and efficient vocabulary instruction at all levels, the perceived complexity of vocabulary creates confusion about how to operationalize vocabulary knowledge, how to consistently and systematically measure vocabulary improvements, and how to teach different dimensions of vocabulary. Available research suggests that students should (a) be actively engaged in instruction and (b) be allowed repeated practice opportunities. The current study examined the comparative effects of massed practice (MP) and distributed practice (DP) of aspects of vocabulary (i.e., spelling, writing definitions, identifying parts of speech, identifying synonyms, sentence writing) embedded in a response card activity on the vocabulary and spelling acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of five seventh grade students with and without disabilities enrolled in an inclusive language art classroom. The results were mixed, so definitive trends could not be determined. Despite the study’s limitations, there were several implications for future research and suggestions for classroom practice identified. 2008-09-11 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1218594505 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1218594505 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
