The growing recognition of virtual field trips (VFTs) to support classrooms has led to increasing use of these tools in science classrooms. In Aotearoa New Zealand, the Ministry of Education has underscored the need for educational experiences that are inclusive of Indigenous Maori worldviews. Here, we present the potential of the LEARNZ natural…

Purpose/Objectives: The average Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI) score for children 2-17 years is 53.9/100, which needs improvement. HEI scores for dietary quality (DQ) directly and positively impact children's health, academic performance, and their future. Because school Child Nutrition Programs impact a large proportion of U.S. children, it is…

Problem-solving skills are required to solve difficulties encountered in daily life. These skills are important but rarely mastered by fourth grade elementary school students. One explanation for this is that the learning tools have not been specifically designed to help pupils develop their problem-solving skills. The purpose of this research and…

This study aims to analyze and describe the response patterns of school exam participants based on the person fit method. This research is a quantitative study with a focus on research on social science elementary school examinations as many as 15 multiple choice items and 137 participant answer sheets. Data collection techniques were carried out…

To stimulate the intellectual curiosity of elementary school students, we conducted a workshop in distance education aimed at exploring the microscopic world inside a cell. In this workshop, elementary school students motivated to learn more on the subject of science analyzed movies of the Brownian motion of micrometer-sized particles suspended in…

The main purpose of this research was to develop 3rd grade students' creativity to meet a criterion of 70% by using the STEM Education-based learning management. The target sample included six 3rd grade students of Dongsankaewdongsamran School, Chanuman District, Amnat Charoen Province, Thailand. This research took place in the second semester in…

Considering problem-solving ability as an important qualification in the 21st century that could be developed by instructional methods that allow learners to construct their knowledge via questioning through cooperative learning activities, we conducted action research with the purpose of investigating the effectiveness of inquiry-based and…

Background: Family-school connections during the transition from preschool to primary school are crucial, as they serve to bridge the gap between the home and school learning environments. In order to support children's learning and engagement throughout their school career, more needs to be understood about the factors that contribute to…

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of parent-involved reading activities on elementary fourth graders' reading comprehension skills, reading motivation, and attitudes towards reading. Employing a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with a paired control group, data were collected from a total of 100 fourth graders studying…

The study aims to reveal the effect of ABPS on the reading fluency and creative writing skills of thirdgrade students at primary school. The research study group consists of 56 students, 26 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group, studying in the third grade.

The current study investigated perceptual simulation and its relationship with literacy ability in Chinese children. Ninety-three third-grade Hong Kong Chinese children completed a sentence-picture verification task for perceptual simulation. In this task, a sentence mentioning an object was presented first, followed by a picture involving the…

Measurement of social-pragmatic communication skills is essential for clinicians and researchers working with school-aged children on the autism spectrum. Many measures of these skills require time-intensive training and coding that is impractical for clinical assessment settings. Using a sample of 299 elementary school children (M = 8.6 years, sd…

In the current study, a Dutch whole school Positive Education Programme (PEP) was investigated. PEP is a bottom-up programme, aimed at shifting teacher's attention from solely focusing on learning outcomes towards a more comprehensive approach that takes the wellbeing and engagement of students during classes into account. PEP was investigated…

Learning channels refer to the way students receive instruction and respond to it. We examined the relationship between See-Say and See-Write learning channel sets during the mathematical practice of four male autistic students, aged 8 to 14 years. Participants received practice in the ×7 and ×8 tables across both channel sets. Lessons included…

Many students with autism have difficulties engaging with their classroom environments and forming friendships, which are mostly affected by deficits in social, communication, and motor skills.
