Context
Missions with Monty is funded by the William T. Grant Foundation, focusing on research initiatives that support multilingual learners' reading comprehension and science learning.
Project Goals:
1. Examine how to best support 5th grade multilingual learners' comprehension skills and science learning within a game-based environment.
2. Develop an engaging technology that best addresses the needs of multilingual learners for reading comprehension and science learning.
Research Questions
Throughout the process of developing the project, we keep multiple research questions in mind to stay on track and examine how to best support 5th grade Spanish-speaking multilingual learners
1. How do language scaffolds impact ML students' reading comprehension skills?
2. How to effectively provide language scaffolds across MLs with varying language profiles?
3. What moderators (e.g. prior knowledge, language program, etc.) impact students performance?
4. How do enhanced language scaffolds impact MLs performance relative to non-MLs?
