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.

使用词汇情景技术进行四年级课程词汇学习。

目的 本研究的目的是确定使用词汇情景技术 - 通识教育 16 次接触 (VSTGE16) 协议的直接、明确的词汇教学方法是否会在通识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接受 VST-GE16 指导的四年级学生是否在 4 周内每周教授 90 分钟、每个单词 16 次由讲师指导的接触中显示出更大的收益-the-the-blank words-in-context test 比四年级学生教相同数量的单词，在相同的时间范围内，使用四年级老师通常采用的词汇教学方法。方法 该研究是一项准实验设计，与前测和后测多项选择同义词和填空词上下文措施管理。具有完整数据集的学生被纳入分析（同义词，N = 38；上下文中的词，N = 37）。两组的参与者每周都学习 8 个课程词汇，每周 90 分钟，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：治疗组在同义词测量上的得分显着更高，F(1, 35) = 14.76, p < .001；g = 1.04，上下文中的词测量，F(1, 34) = 43.66，p < .001；g = 1.59，与对照组相比。结论 结果表明 VST-GE16 协议具有作为一种有效的、
