Redox reaction is a core chemical concept. However, its abstract nature makes it very difficult for students. Students' conceptual structure reflects their mastery of concepts, which helps teachers implement targeted educational strategies. This study aimed to explore the conceptual structures of redox reaction held by students (grades 10 to 12)…

Objective, quantitative measures of caregiver-child interaction during play are needed to complement caregiver or examiner ratings for clinical assessment and tracking intervention responses. In this exploratory study, we examined the feasibility of using automated video tracking, Noldus EthoVision XT, to measure 159 2-to-7-year-old autistic…

Statistical learning (SL), the ability to detect and extract regularities from inputs, has been considered as an early-maturing and domain-general mechanism that is critical for typical language development. However, recent evidence in neurotypical adults and children have found that individuals can vary in their SL abilities across linguistic and…

Vertebrate species knowledge is one of the predictors of pupils' understanding of biodiversity. This study will describe vertebrate species identification skills of pupils from the Czech Republic.

This article examines the impact of within-class age differences on educational outcomes, using students' birth months in Madrid's primary schools as a natural experiment. Employing a regression discontinuity design, we analyze third-grade students to investigate these age-related effects. Additionally, we explore whether early childhood education…

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is believed to impact the language patterns, particularly the lexico-semantic abilities among children which retards their communicative abilities. This study aims to evaluate the lexical-semantic aspects of spoken language in preschool-aged children with ASD. The methodology involved assessing both expressive and…

This study aims to examine the self-efficacy levels of early childhood teachers in terms of various variables (age, marital status, department graduated, education level, professional experience). The survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the present study. Criterion sampling; one of the methods of purposive sampling…

Although physical activity (PA) has a profound impact on health, many college and university students are still physically inactive. There is some evidence to suggest that social support (SS) could impact the PA levels of students, but the internal relationship and specific effects are not very clear. The purpose of this review was to determine…

Previous studies have identified patterns of coordinated control when adults combine gait and grasping. What remains unclear is whether the coordination of these two tasks differs between adolescent and adult groups. Groups of adults and adolescents were asked to walk across an instrumented gait mat in three conditions: walk forward, walk and…

This study investigated children's and adolescents' reasoning about intergroup exclusion based on social class from educational opportunities in Türkiye.

The increasing prevalence of children's attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and internalizing behaviors requires investigation into putative risk factors. This longitudinal project of 105 preschoolers (54.3% girls; 90% White) examined influences of early life experiences (perinatal stressors, home environment, maternal personality) and…

The contemporary social environment, and especially the technological and media environment, contributes to creating great intergenerational differences. In contrast to previous periods, when the young would learn from the old and when the context of values, resources, and access to knowledge and information was known to everyone and passed on…
