Building on the "hole in the wall" experiments and TED Prize project (2014-2016), this study examined long-term sustainability and impact of the School in the Cloud (SC) initiative using Self-Organised Learning Environments (SOLEs) and minimally invasive and technology-mediated pedagogy in India, the UK, and the USA. Grounded in emergent…

This article explores how teaching about passing using high-quality resources aligned to national standards can address both race "and" gender/sexuality, illuminating for students how people with various marginalized identities have been treated across time and place. The authors outline possibilities for addressing National Council for…

As U.S. politics has been and continues to be dominated by white men, girls and children of color begin to disengage from politics beginning at young ages, leading to their voices being less present in the political system in adulthood. This article suggests several fruitful avenues for K-5 classroom activities designed to expand students'…

Mathematics intervention research has established several effective interventions for building accuracy and fluency of math fact computation, as well as components that may improve student learning rates. While several evidence-based interventions promoting math fact accuracy and fluency exist, further work is needed to determine additional…

Background: Due to disruptive student behavior, a K-5 urban school developed a problem of practice that focused on creating a classroom management plan and a social-emotional plan for students to regulate their emotions effectively, allowing teachers to execute engaging lessons that increase student engagement. Informal observations conducted by a…

This study examines how structured yet flexible activities can cultivate pupils' oral creativity in a primary English as a foreign language classroom. A six-week action research intervention with sixteen Year-4 learners (ages 10-11) combined group-dynamics work with creativity-focused speaking tasks. Data from questionnaires, focus-group…

Background: In response to persistent challenges in early grade mathematics achievement in South Africa, two intervention projects -- Base-Ten Thinking (BTT) and the Mental Starters Assessment Project (MSAP) -- were implemented to enhance number sense through mental mathematics in Grades 2 and 3. These projects integrate Freudenthal's theory of…

The study described here explored the perceptions of eight Year 5 and Year 6 students of their Australian identity in an independent Western Australian metropolitan school. The epistemological approach for this research was constructivism with an interpretivist theoretical perspective. We aimed to understand the perspectives of the eight student…

Constant Time Delay (CTD) is a structured, error-reducing teaching strategy with promising applications for students with mathematical learning difficulties (MLD). In this study, we systematically replicated CTD in a German inclusive classroom to evaluate its effects on multiplication fact fluency. Two fourth-grade boys with persistent…

Estimation supports the development of higher level mathematical thinking and reasoning; however, has received relatively little research attention. We examined whether making predictions influences the accuracy of numerosity estimates in elementary-aged children, and whether the amount of information available to the estimator determines the…

The application of multiple-choice tests often does not consider the scoring technique and the number of choices. The study aims at describing the effect of the scoring technique and numerous options towards the reliability of multiple-choice objective tests on social subjects in elementary school. The study is quantitative research with…

Prospective memory (PM) involves remembering to carry out intended actions in the future (e.g., posting a letter on the way to school or passing on a message) and is important for children's independent functioning in daily life. This study examined, for the first time, the effects of incidental reminder cues on children's PM. Five- and 7-year-old…

A new curriculum is set for implementation in Wales from September 2022. Preparation for change is already underway in Gwaunmeisgyn Primary School in South Wales. Various development teams are preparing for the new curriculum, including the three teachers in the science and technology team. The team met to plan and design a bespoke pilot project…

Advances in mobile electroencephalography (EEG) technology have made it possible to examine covert cognitive processes in real-world settings such as student attention in the classroom. Here, we outline research using wired and wireless EEG technology to examine attention in elementary school children across increasingly naturalistic paradigms in…

Limited interventions exist that support student's school participation. This paper describes a theoretical model of school participation and the iterative process that led to the development of an intervention that aims to improve the school participation of students on the autism spectrum and their typically developing peers. Literature on…
