Elizabeth Pursell – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Cognitive development of eighth-grade students, as identified by Jean Piaget, occurs during a time when many of them are transitioning between concrete operations and formal operations where the ability to think in abstract concepts becomes possible. Because of this period of transition, many eighth-grade students find difficulty in demonstrating…

Ali Alqarni – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
This study examined the effect of gamification on visual programming and computational thinking skills among primary school students, aiming to investigate how gamified learning environments enhance cognitive skill development and conceptual integration compared to traditional teaching methods. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving…

Ninnuan, Kanjana; Wongsaphan, Montree – Journal of Educational Issues, 2022
This study investigates the implementation of the learning management model based on cognitive development theory to enhance mathematical problem-solving ability for Prathomsuksa 6 students. The sample group assigned by cluster random sampling was thirty Prathomsuksa 6 students of Chumchon Yot Kaeng Songkhro School. The research instruments…

Benzing, Valentin; Schmidt, Mirko; Jäger, Katja; Egger, Fabienne; Conzelmann, Achim; Roebers, Claudia M. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
Background: Given the strong relationship between executive functions and academic achievement, there has been great interest in improving executive functions. School-based group interventions targeting executive functions revealed encouraging results in preschoolers and young school children; however, there is a paucity of studies in older…

Goodrich, J. Marc; Koziol, Natalie A.; Yoon, HyeonJin; Leiva, Sergio – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Despite much research examining whether bilingual individuals demonstrate superior executive function (EF) skills compared to monolinguals, the purported bilingual advantage remains controversial. One potential reason for discrepant findings across studies examining the bilingual advantage is the difficulty in matching monolingual and bilingual…

Wang, Haiyan; Yu, Haopeng – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2023
This paper attempts to investigate the repetition of Relative Clauses (RCs) in Mandarin children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) (aged 4; 5 to 6; 0) and their typically developing (TD) peers. The results of a sentence repetition task indicate that Mandarin children with DLD perform significantly worse than both groups of TD children,…

Lombardi, Caitlin McPherran; Bronson, Martha; Weber, Lindsey; Pezaris, Elizabeth; Casey, Beth M. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2021
This study used a person-centered approach to examine mother-daughter dyad behaviors when jointly solving addition problems during a card game. The goal was to identify maternal and child profile behaviors during the interaction as predictors of children's autonomous addition accuracy and strategy use at the end of first grade. Videotaped…

Bakker, Merel; Torbeyns, Joke; Verschaffel, Lieven; De Smedt, Bert – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Children start preschool with large individual differences in their early numerical abilities. Little is known about the importance of heterogeneous patterns that exist within these individual differences. A person-centered analytic approach might be helpful to unravel these patterns and the cognitive and environmental factors that are associated…

Glaab, Sabine; Heyne, Thomas – Applied Environmental Education and Communication, 2020
A total of 268 primary school children (age 8.75 ± 0.65) spent one day at a wildlife park attending environmental education aiming at high cognitive achievement and motivation alongside maintained discipline. To accomplish this at an out-of-school learning setting, we compared our preferred 'guided learning at workstations' (G) combining the…

Chiang, Linda H.; Griego, Orlando – International Journal of Educational Methodology, 2017
The purpose of this study was to compare and associate BrainDance activity to a control group on reading scores as well as social, learning, and negative behavior. A total of 40 students in two classrooms participated in this study. A Likert scale and words per minute reading scores followed by quantitative analysis using a t-test to document and…

Mackey, Allyson P.; Park, Anne T.; Robinson, Sydney T.; Gabrieli, John D. E. – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2017
Cognitive skills are associated with academic performance, but little is known about how to improve these skills in the classroom. Here, we present the results of a pilot study in which teachers were trained to engage students in cognitive skill practice through playing games. Fifth-grade students at an experimental charter school were randomly…

Kim, Ha Yeon; Gjicali, Kalina; Wu, Zezhen; Tubbs Dolan, Carly – Journal on Education in Emergencies, 2021
Rigorous evaluation of social and emotional learning programs requires the use of measures that provide reliable and valid information on the meaningful differences in children's social emotional skills across treatment and control groups, as well as changes over time. In contexts affected by conflict and crisis, few measures can provide the…

Taboada Barber, Ana; Vizcaya-Jofré, Francisca; Klauda, Susan Lutz – Grantee Submission, 2021
Theory of Mind (ToM), as a relevant aspect in children's socio-cognitive development, has been widely studied. Some results have suggested that bilingual children have an advantage over their monolingual peers in development of ToM. However, there is less research regarding the predictive role of ToM in performance of oral and reading…

Navarro-Pablo, Macarena; López Gándara, Yiyi – Language Learning Journal, 2020
Very little research has been conducted on the effects of CLIL on L1 competence development. This article compares CLIL and non-CLIL learners' levels of attainment in Spanish Language and Literature in seven public schools in the South of Spain. Learners' verbal intelligence and motivation were previously matched in order to homogenise the sample.…

Krakowski, Claire-Sara; Poirel, Nicolas; Vidal, Julie; Roëll, Margot; Pineau, Arlette; Borst, Grégoire; Houdé, Olivier – Developmental Psychology, 2016
To act and think, children and adults are continually required to ignore irrelevant visual information to focus on task-relevant items. As real-world visual information is organized into structures, we designed a feature visual search task containing 3-level hierarchical stimuli (i.e., local shapes that constituted intermediate shapes that formed…
