Thapliyal, Monika; Ahuja, Neelu Jyothi; Shankar, Achyut; Cheng, Xiaochun; Kumar, Manoj – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2022
This paper presents the ontological design and implementation of the differentiated learning environment in the domain model of an intelligent tutoring system for children with specific learning disabilities. It addresses the learners need for differentiated instruction in a preferential learning environment. The proposed model helps to identify…

Westergaard, Marit – Second Language Research, 2021
In this article, I argue that first language (L1), second language (L2) and third language (L3) acquisition are fundamentally the same process, based on learning by parsing. Both child and adult learners are sensitive to fine linguistic distinctions, and language development takes place in small steps. While the bulk of the article focuses on…

Brunsdon, Jamie Jacob; Walker, David Ian – Journal of Moral Education, 2022
This paper articulates how the teaching of movement, physical activity and sport, through formal education and schooling, and the medium of physical education, affords opportunities for twenty-first-century character education. We begin by outlining our theoretical framework for character education and identify how character-traits developed…

Trevor K. M. Day; Arielle Borovsky; Donna Thal; Jed T. Elison – Developmental Science, 2025
The MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (CDI) are widely used, parent-report instruments of language acquisition. Here, we focus on the word-inventory sections of the instruments, and show two different approaches to modeling CDI data, based on real-world needs. First, we show that Words & Gestures data collected…

Eva Portelance; Michael C. Frank; Dan Jurafsky – Cognitive Science, 2024
Interpreting a seemingly simple function word like "or," "behind," or "more" can require logical, numerical, and relational reasoning. How are such words learned by children? Prior acquisition theories have often relied on positing a foundation of innate knowledge. Yet recent neural-network-based visual question…

Fong, Haley; Soni, Anita – Support for Learning, 2022
This systematic review explores test anxiety in children and young people (CYP) with learning difficulties. Research has found that students with learning difficulties experience higher levels of anxiety about school compared to peers without learning difficulties. One area of school that has had little research is test anxiety, therefore further…

Yadira Peralta; Nidhi Kohli; Panayiota Kendeou; Mark L. Davison; Eric F. Lock – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
The relation between reading and mathematics achievement is an active area of research, and evidence in the extant literature suggests they are closely related. However, there is a lack of understanding about how their relation develops over time. Indeed, traditional longitudinal analyses have focused on investigating each domain independently,…

Brigas, Carlos Jorge – Research in Social Sciences and Technology, 2019
In science education, there is a need to evaluate the behavior of dynamic systems. Representing and explaining processes through educational models or simulations enables students to perform activities where it is easier to understand these processes and discover the essential properties of a system. Performing modeling or simulation activities…

Knabe, Melina L.; Vlach, Haley A. – First Language, 2020
Ambridge argues that there is widespread agreement among child language researchers that learners store linguistic abstractions. In this commentary the authors first argue that this assumption is incorrect; anti-representationalist/exemplar views are pervasive in theories of child language. Next, the authors outline what has been learned from this…

Feldon, David F.; Litson, Kaylee – Educational Psychology Review, 2021
Working memory is an essential mechanism in the cognitive learning process. However, its definitions and mechanisms remain a topic of debate. Miller-Cotto and Byrnes ("Journal of Educational Psychology," "112"(5), 1074-1084, 2020) reported a comparison of three models of working memory to determine which best accounted for data…

Martínez-Pérez, Margarita – Journal for the Study of Education and Development, 2022
This study focuses on examining the importance of affectivity and humour as part of Learning by Observing and Pitching In to family and community endeavours (LOPI). Specifically, it highlights the role of laughter in the form of a spontaneous expression of a certain type of humour. This laughter is the central element for coexistence during…

Banire, Bilikis; Jomhari, Nazean; Ahmad, Rodina – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
The effect of education on children with autism serves as a relative cure for their deficits. As a result of this, they require special techniques to gain their attention and interest in learning as compared to typical children. Several studies have shown that these children are visual learners. In this study, we proposed a Visual Hybrid…

Maropo, Lidia; de Carvalho, Raiana; Jorge, Ana – Global Studies of Childhood, 2021
This article looks at the social and cultural contexts of children's experiences of illness, through a particular focus on the context of the Global South and the role of the social media platform YouTube in children's culture. It takes a socio-constructivist approach to discuss the case of "CarecaTV" (BaldTV), a Brazilian YouTube…

Miller-Cotto, Dana; Byrnes, James P. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Although studies have demonstrated a relationship between working memory and achievement in math and reading, it is still unclear why working memory might be related to these abilities. In the present article, we examined the viability of several possible theories in 2 separate analyses of math and reading. In each case, we contrasted the…

Yang, Charles; Montrul, Silvina – Second Language Research, 2017
We study the learnability problem concerning the dative alternations in English (Baker, 1979; Pinker, 1989). We consider how first language learners productively apply the double-object and to-dative constructions ("give the book to library"/"give the library the book"), while excluding negative exceptions ("donate the…
