Background: Speech sound disorders (SSDs) in children are heterogeneous. Differentiating children with SSDs into distinct subtypes is important so that each child receives a treatment approach well suited to the particular difficulties they are experiencing. Aims: To study the distinct underlying processes that differentiate phonological…

Detection of metal ions in solution has been performed without employing H[subscript 2]S or any other sulfide materials. The new method is free from the interference from anions. Identification of Na[superscript +], K[superscript +], and NH[subscript 4][superscript +] has been made possible directly from an aqueous extract of the sample mixture. A…

This activity helps students examine key elements of truth-default theory. Specifically, by participating in a deception detection game, which secretly prompts different teams to be more or less suspicious, students learn that people's tendency to be "truth biased" leads to lower accuracy when judging actual lies and higher accuracy when…

The word "talent" is used across many sport disciplines -- to describe an athlete's prowess (i.e. "he is talented"), as a term for what is sought after during assessment and selection (i.e. talent selection camps) or in reference to players to be developed (i.e. "a group of talents"). While the term has received…

"How do witnesses make identification decisions when viewing a lineup?" Understanding the witness decision-making process is essential for researchers to develop methods that can reduce mistaken identifications and improve lineup practices. Yet, the inclusion of fillers has posed a pivotal challenge to this task because the traditional…

The concept of a learner's identity in mathematics is complex and multifaceted. Based on a review of the relevant research, the authors believe most factors that influence one's mathematical identity fall within these four categories: (1) past mathematics experiences; (2) personal beliefs and efficacy; (3) future self-representation and belonging;…

We talk about our spatial thinking skills all the time, maybe without knowing that there is an entire domain of cognitive skills that connect these observations. Educators can also recognize these skills in our students. These include students who seem to have an intuitive understanding of computer-aided design and create complex and efficient 3-D…

In this era of climate crisis, science education must educate climate-literate citizens capable of steering the required transformation. According to the Vision III of scientific literacy, students need to be equipped with the civic ability to translate scientific knowledge into a values-driven transformation. However, if the goal of the Paris…

This book examines the nature of equity for one of the most vulnerable populations of K-12 students--multilingual learners (MLs) with disabilities. Drawing from a rich array of research and experiences as a teacher educator and policy consultant, the author demonstrates how MLs with disabilities encounter inequities in predictable, repeated ways…

OSPI is required to submit an annual report to the legislature on the statewide activities funded under RCW 28A.150.390(3). The 2025 and 2026 annual reports must include an update on the impact of removing the cap on the special education enrollment percentage, including the impact on safety net needs. This report provides an update on the…

Improving student outcomes is at the heart of every school or district leader's mission, but choosing the right products to support teaching and learning is not easy. With so many options on the market, it can be hard to know which ones are effective and will truly meet students' needs. Evidence-based educational products--such as interventions,…

This article presents a general-purpose method for detecting cheating in online courses, which combines anomaly detection and supervised machine learning. Using features that are rooted in psychometrics and learning analytics literature, and capture anomalies in learner behavior and response patterns, we demonstrate that a classifier that is…

Students' talent and potential cannot be served until they are recognized by schools or caregivers. While the field of gifted education has had success in identifying talent among many students with talents in reading and mathematics, those with spatial talents are often overlooked. This article reviews how we might identify spatial talent using…

Even though the most prevalent category of disability served in the U.S. school system is specific learning disabilities (SLD), practitioners are often unfamiliar with the indicators associated with a specific LD such as dysgraphia and dyslexia. Misconceptions or an absence of understanding of the behavioral indicators related to dysgraphia and…
