Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine if a direct, explicit method of teaching vocabulary with the Vocabulary Scenario Technique - General Education 16 Encounter (VSTGE16) protocol would yield gains in the vocabulary knowledge of fourth grade students in a general education classroom. Two research questions examined whether fourth grade students receiving VST-GE16 instruction with 16 instructor-led encounters per word, eight words taught per week for 90 min a week over 4 weeks demonstrated greater gains on a multiple-choice synonym test and a fill-in-the-blank words-in-context test than fourth grade students taught the same number of words, in the same time frame, using a vocabulary teaching method typically employed by a fourth grade teacher. Method The study was a quasi-experimental design, with a pretest and posttest multiple-choice synonym and fill-in-the-blank words-in-context measures administered. Students with complete data sets were included in the analyses (synonym, N = 38; words-in-context, N = 37). Participants in both groups were taught eight curriculum vocabulary words per week for 90 min a week across four consecutive weeks (32 words). Results An analysis of covariance on posttreatment outcomes yielded the following: The treatment group scored significantly higher on the synonym measure, F(1, 35) = 14.76, p < .001; g = 1.04, and the words-in-context measure, F(1, 34) = 43.66, p < .001; g = 1.59, than did the comparison group. Conclusions The results indicated that the VST-GE16 protocol has potential as an effective, efficient method to use when directly teaching curriculum vocabulary words to fourth grade students in general education classrooms.

使用词汇场景技术学习四年级学生的课程词汇。

目的本研究的目的是确定使用词汇情景技术-普通教育16遭遇（VSTGE16）协议直接，显式的词汇教学方法是否可以在普通教育课堂中提高四年级学生的词汇知识。两个研究问题检查了四年级学生接受VST-GE16指导，每个单词有16个讲师指导的相遇，在8周内每周教授90个单词，在4周内每周显示90个单词，这些结果是否显示出多项选择同义词测试和强制性学习的好处与四年级学生相比，空白的上下文中单词测试使用的是四年级老师通常采用的词汇教学方法，在相同的时间范围内教授了相同数量的单词。方法该研究是一个准实验设计，并具有测试前和测试后的多项选择同义词，并采用了空白处在上下文中的措词。分析中包括具有完整数据集的学生（同义词，N = 38；上下文中的单词，N = 37）。两组参与者每周连续90周学习90个词汇，连续八个星期，连续四个星期（32个单词）。结果对治疗后结果的协方差分析得出以下结果：治疗组在同义测量中得分显着更高，F（1，35）= 14.76，p <.001；g = 1.04，上下文中的字词测度F（1，34）= 43.66，p <.001；g = 1.59，比对照组。结论结果表明，VST-GE16协议具有作为一种有效的，
