Muznah Madeeha; Nabil Khattab; Muthanna Samara; Tariq Modood; Areej Barham – Educational Studies, 2024
Aspirations and expectations are conceptually and empirically different. Given their differential impact on various educational outcomes, it is expected that they, and consequently their convergence, would be affected by different factors. This study examines the factors leading to high aspirations, high expectations and to their alignment by…

Kendra Nolan; W. Kyle Ingle – Voices of Reform, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted face-to-face instruction in schools across the United States and the world. Using the Online Student Connectedness Survey (OSCS), we analyzed data from three middle schools in a suburban school district in the southeastern United States in order to determine if there were any statistically significant interaction…

Seyum Getenet – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
Students' prior achievements in school have significant correlations with their later achievements. Specifically, students' prior numeracy achievement is the most important predictor of later numeracy success. However, the assessment of this predictor across gender and its trend across students' year levels is often overlooked or not adequately…

Yildirim, Tercan; Özturk, Durdane – International Journal of Education and Literacy Studies, 2023
The purpose of this study was to reveal middle school students' digital literacy levels and their opinions about digital literacy. Convergent parallel design, one of the mixed-method designs, was used in the study. Quantitative part involved survey while qualitative part included casestudy model. Digital literacy scale and semi-structured…

Sahin, Feride; Ates, Salih – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2023
The aim of this study is to examine whether the structural model that Sahin and Ates (2020) put forward about the relationship among students' scientific literacy levels, logical thinking ability, cognitive styles, mental capacity, and mental rotation ability differ in terms of gender. A causal-comparative model approach was used in this study.…

Lin, Jing; Zhang, Letong; Neumann, Knut; Cheng, Ping-Han; Wei, Wenting; Chang, Chun-Yen – Asia-Pacific Science Education, 2022
Scientific modeling (SM) is a core practice of science and an important component of scientific literacy. Supporting students in developing the competence to construct, use, evaluate, and revise models is hence of particular relevance. While research has shown that spatial visualization (SV), a core component of spatial ability, is correlated with…

Sonja Laine; Elina Kuusisto; Kirsi Tirri – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2024
There is a lack of research on students' conceptions of giftedness and intelligence, despite recognition of their influence on real-life factors such as achievement and motivation. This paper presents a cross-sectional mixed methods study that investigated Finnish students' (age 6-16 years; N = 1282) implicit conceptions of giftedness and…

Rosário Serrão; Pedro Dias; Ana Andrés; Mhairi Bowe; Tyler Renshaw – School Mental Health, 2024
School-based universal well-being screening is proposed within the Multi-tiered Systems of Support approach to collect data on school and individual well-being. Universal screening allows for data-based informed decision, allocating each pupil or set of pupils in universal, selective and/or indicated structured interventions and supports. However,…

David W. Braithwaite; Anna N. Rafferty – Cognitive Science, 2025
Math problem solving frequently involves choices among alternative strategies. Strategy choices, and effects of problem features on strategy choices, both vary among individuals. We propose that individual differences in strategy choices can be well characterized in terms of parametric variation in three types of influence: global bias, relevant…

Lovisa Sumpter; Anna Löwenhielm – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2024
This paper studies grade 7 (age 13) students' expressed understanding about the equal sign/notion of equivalence in order to investigate what aspects of the concept that could be seen as an established knowledge at lower secondary school/middle school. Using items from different instruments and combining these to a new one that covered a broad…

Görgün, Sena; Tican, Canses – International Education Studies, 2020
The main purpose of the current study is to investigate middle school students' math self-efficacy perceptions and math problem posing attitudes. The sample of the study is comprised of 990 fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grade students attending middle school in the Fethiye district of the city of Mugla. As the data collection tool, the…

Özkale, Ufuk; Kanadli, Sedat – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2021
This study classifies the verbal feedback of science teachers into praise statements, effort-based feedback statements, negative feedback statements, and ability-based statements, which are also regarded as feedback strategies. The study aims to investigate the feedback strategies used by science teachers in the classroom setting using descriptive…

Jingjing Ma; Qingtang Liu; Shufan Yu; Jindian Liu; Xiaojuan Li; Chunhua Wang – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2025
This research employs the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method to investigate the configurations of multiple factors influencing scientific concept learning, including augmented reality (AR) technology, the concept map (CM) strategy and individual differences (eg, prior knowledge, experience and attitudes). A quasi-experiment…

Wienecke, Lisa-Marie; Leiss, Dominik; Ehmke, Timo – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2023
This study investigates the extent to which student and task-related characteristics are associated with different types of note-taking and analyzes how task success depends on these elements. For this purpose, a sample of n=866 students (age: mean=13.99) completing two reality-based tasks as part of a paper and pencil test are considered. The…

How Grit-S Items Work in Measuring Growth: Focusing on Item Discrimination and Sensitivity to Change
Lim, Hyo Jin; Lee, Sora – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2023
This study investigates how sensitively the current grit measure (Grit-S) is able to reflect the differences between individuals (i.e. item discrimination) and change within individuals (i.e. sensitivity to change of items) using longitudinal data. Data from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Study 2018 of elementary (fourth grade) and middle…
