In recent years, interest in the dynamic nature of creativity from a socio-cognitive perspective has increased. However, few studies have been conducted to assess creative potential dynamically. The present study attempted to investigate whether creative strategies mediated within a dynamic assessment of creativity in the graphic domain were…

Sensory processing has been linked with difficulties in school participation in children. Teacher perceptions of student sensory processing behaviors at school can impact outcomes, but have been underexplored. This study aimed to describe and explore factors influencing teacher rating of sensory processing difficulties in primary school aged…

Background/purpose: This study aimed to develop and validate a causal model of factors influencing the mathematical reasoning ability of Grade 6 students in Thailand. Materials/methods: The sample consisted of 530 students selected through multi-stage random sampling. Research instruments included a basic mathematics knowledge test, a mathematical…

The current study is the first to examine whether the positive effects of the School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) model, previously documented as effective in the school context, may generalize to the home context. Potential benefits for children and parents were investigated longitudinally. A randomly selected…

This study employs the Cultural Linguistics framework based on the schemas of event, emotion, image, role and proposition (Sharifian, Embodiment via body parts. John Benjamins Publishing, 2011a) to describe how Cultural Conceptualisations are shaped in the available lexicon of EFL learners from sixth grade Primary and tenth grade of Secondary…

Purpose: This study examines the linguistic skills that support the learning of science and social studies vocabulary words for second-grade Latino bilingual students.

Scaling up evidence-based educational interventions presents challenges, particularly in adapting to new contexts while maintaining fidelity. Structured adaptations that integrate the strengths of experimental science (high fidelity) and improvement science (high adaptation) represent a novel design framework for supporting the equitable…

In this study, a traditional practice was adapted to the online environment by considering the digital transformation in reading instruction. The study discusses technology as a new learning environment rather than regarding it merely as a scaffold. The paired reading strategy, which is an effective method for improving reading skills and which…

This study explores two Year 2 teachers' perceptions of the affordances of a novel mathematical manipulative, the Keyboard, based on their observations of its use in the classroom. Analysis of the semi-structured interviews indicated that the Keyboard's linear structure, design features, and hands-on nature promoted flexible number strategies,…

While access to digital innovations for creative learning in the Digital Age is pivotal, the preparedness of educational systems to meet children's learning digitally should there be a reemergence of a pandemic on the scale witnessed in 2019 remains unanswered by Learning Scientists. Using constructionist theory, the study examined the…

This study explored race-based differences in teachers' perceptions of students' academic functioning and suggests interventions for students with perceived academic or behavioral difficulties. Elementary school teachers (n = 97) were presented with eight vignettes describing a child's learning characteristics and classroom behaviors, and each…

This article describes how the authors developed the activity Speaqual to enable their students to "speak" about the "equal" sign and foster communication of their reasoning. The article explains how to play Speaqual and how the students were thoroughly engaged in a friendly competition, centralizing algebraic concepts and…

Reading assessments are essential for enhancing students' comprehension, yet many EdTech applications focus mainly on outcome-based metrics, providing limited insights into student behavior and cognition. This study investigates the use of multimodal data sources -- including eye-tracking data, learning outcomes, assessment content, and teaching…
