Pablo Araya Cortés; Cristian Macías Domínguez; Luis Pires Jiménez; Rosa Santero Sánchez; Ismael Sanz Labrador – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2024
This article examines the impact of within-class age differences on educational outcomes, using students' birth months in Madrid's primary schools as a natural experiment. Employing a regression discontinuity design, we analyze third-grade students to investigate these age-related effects. Additionally, we explore whether early childhood education…

Scalise, Nicole R.; Purpura, David J. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
There is evidence of a relation between the approximate number system (ANS) and later mathematics achievement. Researchers have proposed various mediators of this relation, including executive functioning (EF), numeral knowledge, and mathematical language. The goal of the present study was to determine which factors mediate the relation between…

Lin, Xin; Powell, Sarah R. – Review of Educational Research, 2022
In the present meta-analysis, we systematically investigated the relative contributions of students' initial mathematics, reading, and cognitive skills on subsequent mathematics performance measured at least 3 months later. With one-stage meta-analytic structural equation modeling, we conducted analyses based on 580,437 students from 265…

Nathan A. Hawk; Kui Xie; Azita Manouchehri – Journal of Urban Mathematics Education, 2025
In online virtual-based learning, combining more adaptive personal student characteristics with risk factors, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between student at-risk factors and mathematics achievement. Further, the study examined how personal student characteristics, which are sometimes amenable to change and…

Liang, Zhanhong; Dong, Peiqi; Zhou, Yanlin; Feng, Shanshan; Zhang, Qiong – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Background: Previous research showed a significant association between mathematics and working memory (WM). However, evidence regarding the different effects of verbal and visuospatial WM on mathematical abilities was very limited. Aims: The current research aims to explore the relationship between verbal and visuospatial WM with mathematical…

Allen, Katie; Giofrè, David; Higgins, Steve; Adams, John – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Background: Work surrounding the relationship between visuospatial working memory (WM) and mathematics performance is gaining significant traction as a result of a focus on improving academic attainment. Aims: This study examined the relative contributions of verbal and visuospatial simple and complex WM measures to mathematics in primary school…

Oliver Wang – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Online education has grown rapidly in the United States and has accelerated since COVID-19. The prior history of online learning through online charter schools and online learning during COVID-19 failed to meet the needs of disadvantaged student populations, especially students of color and students with lower socioeconomic status. This study…

Burns, Emma C.; Martin, Andrew J.; Evans, Paul A. – Educational Psychology, 2021
Teacher feedback in mathematics is a potential strategy for redressing declining international trends in high school mathematics achievement. Effective feedback comprises corrective information (feedback) and guidance for improvement (feedforward)--referred to herein as 'feedback-feedforward'. Relatively little research has examined the…

Pantoja, Nancy; Schaeffer, Marjorie W.; Rozek, Christopher S.; Beilock, Sian L.; Levine, Susan C. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2020
Math anxiety negatively predicts young children's math achievement. While some researchers have suggested that math anxiety may stem from poor math ability, others have argued that math anxiety occurs at all levels of math ability. An important question is whether math anxiety predicts math achievement over and above foundational math skills. We…

Powell, Sarah R.; Fluhler, Sally K. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2020
To understand mathematics, children must interpret mathematics symbols. In this study, we designed a brief assessment of mathematics symbols for children in the elementary grades. For each of 23 symbols, children identified the symbol, provided the meaning of the symbol, and used the symbol. We assessed 297 children in Grades 1, 3, and 5. Internal…

Güner, Pinar; Gökçe, Semirhan – Journal of Educational Research, 2021
The purpose of this study was to investigate the interplays among the critical thinking disposition, cognitive flexibility, math anxiety and math achievement with structural equation modeling and determine the degree of the mediating effect of math anxiety in primary, middle and high schools. Within the scope, we also focused on the predicting…

Zhao, Ningning; Teng, Xichun; Li, Wenting; Li, Yanhua; Wang, Shuaiming; Wen, Hongbo; Yi, Mengya – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
Metacognition is a powerful predictor for learning performance, and for problem-solving. But how metacognition works for cognitive strategies and learning performance is not clear. The present study was designed to explore how metacognition affected the cognition (learning strategies and problem solving strategies) and different kinds of learning…

von der Embse, Nathaniel; Jenkins, Andrew; West, Geoffrey; Eklund, Katie; Kilgus, Stephen; Morgan, Myesha – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2021
Universal screening is a promising and proactive method to detect emotional and behavioral risk in schools. To date, most of the research on screening has evaluated teacher report formats. Despite the potential benefits, there has been a general lack of research on student self-report particularly in elementary grade levels. The purpose of this…
