Cooperative learning is a student-centred approach that enhances engagement and understanding. This study investigates the effectiveness of the Buddy system, a cooperative learning strategy, in improving Year 9 students' mathematical performance in converting between decimals, fractions, and percentages (DFP), and explores their perceptions of the…

Research on the possible benefits of digital games for learning outcomes in STEM education has shown mixed results, which is another reason that this study is focused on inconsistencies in past research outcomes. Moreover, it seeks to explore the moderator variables which affect the success of digital games like game design, interactive…

Reading is a fundamental human capacity that recruits and tunes brain circuitry subserving several neurocognitive skills. Individual differences in reading-related skills are largely influenced by genetic variation. However, the molecular basis of the heritability of reading-related skills remains narrowly replicated. Genome-wide association…

Student absenteeism profoundly impacts academic achievement, emotional well-being, and social development. The root causes of absenteeism are diverse, encompassing personal struggles, family responsibilities, social pressures, and unengaging or unsupportive school environments. Addressing these challenges requires a multifaceted approach,…

This study explored parental stress among 121 mothers of adolescents with high intellectual potential (HIP, n = 35), twice-exceptional (TE, n = 35), adolescents with disorders (D, n = 21), and typical adolescents (CG, n = 28), using the SIPA questionnaire. It is the first French study to examine stress in mothers of TE adolescents, who combine…

Science education, particularly physics, remains a priority for many countries, as their future economic prosperity is closely linked to student success in science and technology. Given the persistent challenges faced by teachers in stimulating students' interest in this discipline, the integration of innovative teaching methods has become…

The novelty of the college transition places older adolescents and emerging adults at increased risk for engaging in substance misuse. Preventive interventions such as "First Years Away from Home," a self-directed handbook intervention, can teach caregivers effective strategies for preparing their student for this transition.…

Background: School climate plays a vital role in adolescent development. However, most prior studies have relied on cross-sectional designs and have overlooked the relationship between psychological flexibility and the disciplinary structure of school climate. Guided by authoritative school climate theory, this study explores the longitudinal…

The purpose of this article is to promote a family-empowerment model to serve minoritized, young, twice exceptional (2e), dual language learner (DLL) Latinx children who are advanced in one or more preacademic areas and who receive early childhood special education (ECSE) services due to developmental delay and challenging behaviors. Through…

The following research represents the attitudes of preschool institutions principals towards the inclusion of children with special needs. Inclusion is highly recommended because it has beneficial effects on social integration and learning outcomes through the placement of children with special needs in regular educational settings with typically…

Students encounter hundreds of word problems throughout the elementary grades and on standardized assessments through high school. To demonstrate proficiency on these measures of mathematics competency, students must be skilled in solving word problems. Early detection of word-problem difficulty is essential, and screeners play an important role…

Background/purpose: This paper systematically reviews current advancements in AI-based diagnostic tools and assistive technologies, analyzing their influence on the early detection, treatment, and educational support of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). The review aims to identify both the benefits and challenges of incorporating these…

Head and neck cancer treatment frequently results in long-term severe swallowing deficits, often requiring feeding tube dependency. Patients who have completed swallowing exercise programs before and during cancer treatment experienced more positive swallowing outcomes, but most patients are not referred for swallowing intervention early enough in…
