Abacus-based mental calculation (AMC) is a widely used educational tool for enhancing math learning, offering an accessible and cost-effective method for classroom implementation. Despite its universal appeal, the neurocognitive mechanisms that drive the efficacy of AMC training remain poorly understood. Notably, although abacus training relies…

Various district-level factors contribute to the successful implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) in schools, a widely implemented evidence-based framework supporting students' social, emotional, and behavioral development. Prior research has identified the district PBIS coordinator as a critical factor supporting…

The Army has failed to meet recruiting benchmarks for the past two years. The Army wins through the recruitment and training of citizens as soldiers. This study utilized Ajzen's (1991) Theory of Planned Behavior as the framework underlying this work. The TPB asserts that behavioral intention is a measurable antecedent of behavior; work by Segal et…

Based on 1,364 children across Grades 1, 3, and 5, the present study explored the mutualism of (externalizing and internalizing) behavioral problems and language, and whether social skills explained such mutualism. The random intercept cross-lagged panel models were conducted to control for between-person level variance and to explore mutualism of…

To address needs in one US state to provide a professional development micro-credential for tens of thousands of educators, we automated an assignment scoring workflow in an online course by developing and refining an AI model to scan submitted assignments and score them against a rubric. This article outlines the AI model development process and…

Digital textbook (e-book) systems record student interactions with textbooks as a sequence of events called EventStream data. In the past, researchers extracted meaningful features from EventStream, and utilized them as inputs for downstream tasks such as grade prediction and modeling of student behavior. Previous research evaluated models that…

Background: Previous reviews did not include sources that were published in the last 14 years, indicating a need for an updated synthesis on the time delay literature. Objectives: This review was designed to synthesize outcomes for studies assessing time delay prompting procedures for teaching young children. Data sources: PsycINFO and ProQuest…

Although supportive work-life initiatives have advanced in recent years, existing literature shows inconsistent outcomes regarding the adoption and effectiveness of these initiatives. In this conceptual paper, we aim to highlight that an individual's ability to freely negotiate and decide how to manage the relationships between their paid work and…

This study explores the influence of digital literacy, parental styles, and background variables on digital game addiction among elementary school students. Given the formative nature of early childhood and the significant role of parental influence, understanding these relationships is essential to promoting healthy digital habits. The sample…

Teachers' subjective well-being is closely linked to the advancement and effectiveness of digital teaching. Time is a fundamental resource for teachers adapting to the development of digital teaching and is also a potential factor influencing their subjective well-being in a digital context. Although time poverty is widespread among teachers,…

We investigated the impact of an assignment wrapper in promoting self-regulation of learning in a series of written assignments for a First-Year Biology laboratory. Students completed a planning survey prior to submitting an Introduction assignment. Upon receipt of the graded Introduction, students completed an assignment wrapper, two more written…

This research analyzes the effects of motivational scaffolding on procrastination, learning achievement, and academic and online self-efficacy in students with differing cognitive styles in the dimension of field dependenceindependence (FDI), that are learning mathematical content in m-learning environments. This study involved 87 students from…

Accuracy on assessments is commonly studied in education research but response time (RT) is relatively less investigated even though decades of research in cognitive sciences indicate that time can be an important dimension for understanding student learning. To better understand RT and the potentially important relations between accuracy and RT…

Globally, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused disruptions in socio-economic activities. It did not spare higher education institutions, and the research culture was the most affected area. Compared to industrialised countries, relatively little research has been conducted in West Africa on the impacts of COVID-19, especially considering…

Positive feelings are essential for students' well-being and are associated with their academic performance and long-term development. While prior studies have revealed relationships between certain events (e.g., activities and social interactions) and student feelings, little attention was paid to the influence of event durations. In order to…
