This study investigated the relationships between metalinguistic skills, including phonological, orthographic, and morphological awareness, and Hangul-word spelling in Korean first through third graders, encompassing both deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children and children with typical hearing (TH). The participants comprised 24 children with…

Objective: This cross-sectional study investigated social opportunities in children at risk for ADHD in regular primary education classrooms. First, we aimed to compare social preference of children at risk for ADHD and of their unilateral friends, with their classmates. Second, we hypothesized that for the at risk-group higher levels of problem…

The objective of the study was to explore STEAM disciplines through robotics within the Future Classroom Lab (FCL) spaces, which challenge the learning of mathematical knowledge in Primary Education. The method used was quantitative and descriptive, based on data obtained from the mean and standard deviation through pre-test and post-test…

Parental educational anxiety, which refers to the anxiety and stress they experience about their children's academic performance, learning processes, and educational environments, has become an important research topic in recent years. In this context, developing or adapting scales for understanding parents' concerns to different cultures is of…

Perceptions among students have grown increasingly diverse as inclusive education environments have become more widespread. This study aimed to compare the perceptions of students with learning disabilities to those of students with typical development in three core areas: social inclusive, emotional inclusive, and academic self-concept. These…

This article presents the findings from a Media and Information Literacy (MIL) project developed by journalism professors from University of Brasilia and conducted on elementary school students in Brazil. It examines teenagers' information practices and discusses the challenges of introducing MIL practices in the current state of information…

Extended reality technologies -- mixed, augmented, and virtual reality, and future-related technologies -- are rapidly expanding in many fields, with underexplored potentials for multimodal composition in digital media environments. This research generates new knowledge about the novel wearable technology -- smart glasses -- to support elementary…

Background/purpose: One of the skills that students had to master in science learning was science process skills. However, there has not been much research examining these skills in elementary schools, especially those related to practicum guides integrated with local wisdom. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of a science…

Headsprout is a commercially available, computer-based reading intervention that has been shown to be effective with children without disabilities and with children with ASD. Although recent studies that conducted a randomized clinical trial have demonstrated efficacy, they did not report specifically on feasibility. The current RCT evaluated the…

School environments in Finland are changing from traditional classrooms towards more flexible architectures. This change invites designers and commercial organizations to take part in re-thinking these environments by creating narratives of desirable educational environments. Their comprehensive furniture solutions promise flexible entities,…

The literature regarding K-12 student experiences in physical education (PE) has long identified issues regarding curriculum and social justice. While the multi-activity (MA) or physical-education-as-sport techniques approach continues to be used in many PE programs around the world, the Tactical Games (TG) model has been shown to be effective in…

Background: Stuttering is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting speech flow, often hampering social interaction and academic performance in childhood. However, data on the prevalence and impact of stuttering amongst school-aged children remains limited in Ghana. Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence, gender distribution,…

This paper deals with the science competences of fifth-grade students (ages 10 and 11 years) in Slovenia. The science content researched in this study comprises chemical concepts, such as aqueous solutions, states of matter, and nutrition. The science competence and science competencies that elementary school students are supposed to develop are…

Most English learners (ELs) eventually gain sufficient English proficiency to be reclassified and receive instruction without linguistic supports. Though well-identified, prior regression discontinuity estimates for the effect of reclassification are estimated too imprecisely to detect policy-relevant effects. Applying a student fixed-effect…

Student absenteeism surged during and after the pandemic, harming engagement and achievement. We evaluate the impact of Washington DC's High-Impact Tutoring (HIT) Initiative--designed to mitigate learning loss through targeted academic supports--on student absenteeism. Using daily attendance data and a within-student fixed effects design, we find…
