Background: Collaborative problem solving (CPS) is important for success in the 21st century, especially for teamwork and communication in technology-enhanced environments. Measurement of CPS skills has emerged as an essential aspect in educational assessment. Modern research in CPS relies on theory-driven measurements that are usually carried out…

This nationwide mixed methods study investigated the relationships among self-regulation (S-R), emotional intelligence (EI), willingness to communicate (WTC), and reading comprehension ability of Persian foreign language (PFL) learners in Iran. Therefore, 141 non-Persian students, from 28 different countries studying at 12 universities across Iran…

Artificial intelligence (AI) education is becoming increasingly important worldwide. However, there has been no measuring instrument for diagnosing the students' current perspective. Thus the aim of this study was to develop an instrument that measures student attitudes toward AI. The instrument was developed by verifying the reliability and…

Over the last two decades, 21st century competences and socio-emotional skills have become a major focus in educational policy. In this article, skills for the 21st century, soft skills, as well as social and emotional skills, are contextualised in the context of technological change, machine learning, and the ethics of artificial intelligence.…

Review strategies after learning new knowledge are essential for students to consolidate the key points, understand the subject content, analyze aspects of the learning topics, and summarize the knowledge content of learning while mastering new knowledge. However, educators have found that students generally have difficulties seeking help when…

Though several studies have been undertaken to explore the correlates of academic achievement, there is a dearth of studies relating to the cognitive profiles of children who show marked discrepancies between their cognitive potential and actual academic achievement. The present study was undertaken in this context. The study was conducted on a…

Public culture is a powerful source of cognitive socialization; for example, media language is full of meanings about body weight. Yet it remains unclear how individuals process meanings in public culture. We suggest that schema learning is a core mechanism by which public culture becomes personal culture. We propose that a burgeoning approach in…

Introduction: In Peru, there are few studies that include individual differences between students to explain their academic performance at the beginning of formal schooling. For that reason, the aim of the present study was to predict the perceived academic performance of a group of students based on the following variables: effortful control (EC)…

Images in children's books convey messages about society and the roles that people play in it. Understanding these messages requires systematic measurement of who is represented. Computer vision face detection tools can provide such measurements; however, state-of-the-art face detection models were trained with photographs, and 80\% of images in…

Social and emotional (SE) skills are interpersonal, self-regulatory, and task-related behaviors that are important for adaption to and successful performance in educational and workplace settings (Casillas et al., 2015). Students can improve these skills through social and emotional learning (SEL) interventions or programming designed to teach SE…

Background: Student academic behavioral engagement (BE) contributes to learning and school success. Student-teacher relationships (STRs) may promote BE, although previous findings regarding how these constructs are associated over time are mixed. For young autistic students who face barriers to early school success, a high-quality STR may serve as…

Recent literature has described how the level of one's own social emotional (SE) competence affects areas including academic success, interpersonal relationships, and future development of psychopathology (Denham, Bassett, Mincic, et al., 2012; Schonert-Reichl, 2017). Given that the time young children spend in early learning programs continues to…

Horowitz et al. (2017) indicated that more students with learning disabilities (LDs) are graduating from various K-12 institutions. However, students with LDs continue to fall behind the national average graduation rate compared to students without LDs. Postsecondary institutions have the challenge of retaining students yet struggle to identify…

Throughout history, disability has been used as a way to justify and maintain inequalities. These inequalities are based on more than negative attitudes about disabled people; they are rooted in the epistemological system of ableism where certain bodyminds are legitimated as the norm. This dissertation explores how ableism is maintained,…

The learning sciences inherently involve interdisciplinary research with an overarching objective of advancing theories of learning and to inform the design and implementation of effective instructional methods and learning technologies. In these endeavors, learning sciences encompass diverse constructs, measures, processes, and outcomes…
