Haemophilia, like many other chronic rare diseases, causes limitations to daily activities, stunting the growth and impairing the quality of life as well as the psychosocial functioning and education of those affected. However, these consequences are distributed differently among those affected depending on the available contextual resources. The…

The Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP) section in Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) is critical for aligning educational goals with students' current capabilities and needs. However, inconsistencies and legal deficiencies in PLAAFP statements persist due to inadequate data collection and fragmented…

This article considers expectations and outcomes for a cohort of 617 thirteen to fourteen-year-old school pupils and eight teachers, sampled from eight secondary schools in Scotland where many children were from relatively low socioeconomic backgrounds. Interviews with teachers revealed that they expected relatively low numbers of the pupils in…

Integration of 3D photogrammetry models into anatomical education can enhance students' understanding of complex anatomical structures. With advancements in photogrammetry technology, this integration has become more accessible. Interactive, photorealistic models complement traditional methods such as donor dissections. This study evaluates the…

Purpose: Clinical reasoning is essential for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) when addressing ill-defined questions in various clinical settings. This study focuses on the acquisition of clinical reasoning skills in SLP students, particularly their evolution with clinical experience. To achieve this, the study developed and validated the first…

This article explores how Chinese rural student Yi (pseudonym) nuancedly challenged dominant narratives surrounding school meritocracy, rural deficit, and success. The analysis centers Yi's narrative--tracing her journey from a rural village to a city high school situated within China's unequal education system and rural-urban divide--powerfully…

Writing in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is a special chance for students to improve their language skills and develop their social awareness. Through the use of writing prompts that promote values like tolerance, respect for others, and critical thinking, students are able to express themselves more effectively in English and gain a deeper…

Over the past decade, augmented reality (AR) has gained traction in geometric learning for its pedagogical potential. However, research on how learners engage with different AR technologies and when and how to incorporate them has remained largely unexplored. Employing a learning analytics approach, this study investigates the impact of…

This paper examines the phenomenon of homogenization in higher mathematics education from three dimensions: textbooks, teaching methods, and assessment, identifying rigid educational policies, limited resources, and entrenched teacher mindsets as underlying causes. It proposes four reform pathways: differentiated instruction, diverse teaching…

Purpose: This study compares online word recognition and prediction in preschoolers with (a suspicion of) a developmental language disorder (DLD) and typically developing (TD) controls. Furthermore, it investigates correlations between these measures and the link between online and off-line language scores in the DLD group. Method: Using the…

This paper analyses English Millennium Cohort Study data (N = 4463). It examines two respective predictors of children's maths self-concept at age 11: earlier in-class maths 'ability' group and earlier teacher judgements of children's maths 'ability/attainment' (both at age seven). It also investigates differential associations by maths cognitive…

Efficiency in reading component skills is crucial for reading comprehension, as efficient subprocesses do not extensively consume limited cognitive resources, making them available for comprehension processes. Cognitive efficiency is typically measured with speeded tests of relatively easy items. Observed responses and response times indicate the…

Understanding students' progress towards meeting grade-level expectations within an academic year is the goal of many education stakeholders so that they can make decisions to adjust instruction and improve students' learning trajectories. The purpose of this study was to explore 4th and 5th grade students' progress towards meeting expectations in…

Background/Context: The early school years are an important time for building family-school relationships (Sibley & Dearing, 2014). As such, family engagement is a top priority of organizations that serve young children, such as Head Start. Children whose parents report being involved in their school demonstrate greater social competence and…

Correlational studies link spatial-test scores and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics achievement. Here we asked whether children's understanding of astronomical phenomena would benefit from a prior intervention targeting a core component of children's projective spatial concepts--understanding that viewers' visual experiences are…
