Benedikt Artmann; Christian Scheibenzuber; Nicolae Nistor – Journal of Media Literacy Education, 2023
Online news literacy training has been so far insufficiently conducted and evaluated, and even less so with younger news consumers. Against the backdrop of online news cognitive processing, interventions against misinformation, and inquiry-based learning, we designed, conducted, and evaluated a pilot online news literacy training with 36…

Danielle Mattson; Kathryn Kryska; Jacqueline Pei; Claire Coles; Julie Kable; Molly Millians; Gail Andrew; Damien Cormier; Carmen Rasmussen – Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2024
Math development in children relies on several underlying cognitive functions, including executive functions (EF), working memory (WM), and visual-motor abilities, such as visual-motor integration (VMI). Understanding how these cognitive factors contribute to children's math performance is critical to supporting math learning and long-term math…

Marcus, Amber; Perry, Bob; Dockett, Sue; MacDonald, Amy – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2016
Much is known about preschool children's mathematics learning and the role of play in that learning. Many early childhood educators are quite adept at observing and documenting the mathematics learning of the children in their settings. These teachers "notice" the children's mathematics but they are not the only ones to…

Ignatovich, Vladlen K.; Ignatovich, Svetlana S. – European Journal of Contemporary Education, 2015
This article seeks to substantiate the need for the prognostic assessment of the degree to which school students are prepared to master new types of activity, which underlie their design of an individual learning route at an appropriate senior stage of learning. The authors discuss the concept of project competence as an integral characteristic of…

Ruhm, Richard; Leitner-Jones, Claire; Kulmhofer, Andrea; Kiefer, Thomas; Mlakar, Heike; Itzlinger-Bruneforth, Ursula – International Journal of Listening, 2016
Much debate surrounds the issue of whether allowing candidates to listen to recordings twice is more desirable in language tests than offering just one opportunity. Using regression models, this study investigates, analyses and interconnects both item difficulty and stimulus length in relation to the frequency of stimulus presentation and its…

Lee, Scott; McDonough, Andrea; Bird, Jo – Early Child Development and Care, 2014
Self-talk has been recognised as an important tool used by children to regulate their thinking and behaviour. Existing studies typically characterise children's self-talk according to broad categories that do not allow for investigation of self-regulatory aspects of children's internalised self-talk. The findings reported in this paper are based…

Jazby, Dan – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2014
Research into human decision making (DM) processes from outside of education paint a different picture of DM than current DM models in education. This pilot study assesses the use of critical decision method (CDM)--developed from observations of firefighters' DM -- in the context of primary mathematics teachers' in-class DM. Preliminary results…

Lye, Sze Yee; Wee, Loo Kang; Kwek, Yao Chie; Abas, Suriati; Tay, Lee Yong – Educational Technology & Society, 2014
Science simulations are popular among educators as such simulations afford for multiple visual representation and interactivity. Despite the popularity and abundance on the internet, our literature review suggested little research has been conducted on the use of simulation in elementary school. Thus, an exploratory pilot case study was conducted…

Murrah, William M.; Chen, Wei-Bing; Cameron, Claire E. – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2013
Recent educational studies have found evidence that measures of fine motor skills are predictive of educational outcomes. However, the precise nature of fine motor skills has received little attention in these studies. With evidence mounting that fine motor skills are an important indicator of school readiness, investigating the nature of this…

Bottino, R. M.; Ferlino, L.; Ott, M.; Tavella, M. – Computers & Education, 2007
The paper reports a small-scale, long-term pilot project designed to foster strategic and reasoning abilities in young primary school pupils by engaging them in a number of computer games, mainly those usually called mind games (brainteasers, puzzlers, etc.). In this paper, the objectives, work methodology, experimental setting, and tools used in…
