We examined whether a Phonics + Set for Variability (SfV) reading intervention would lead to better irregular word reading compared to Phonics + Morphology within a cluster randomized control trial (RCT) design with a follow-up measurement. The participants were 273 Grades 2 and 3 students with reading difficulties (139 in the Phonics + SfV and…

Math anxiety refers to the emotions of fear, worry, and avoidance that students experience while learning math or participating in math-related activities. How to effectively alleviate students' math anxiety has always been a concern for global education researchers. Generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) is a specialized branch of artificial…

Rational number knowledge is critical in both current and future mathematical success. Despite its importance, there is a gap in understanding regarding how children process quantitative information from discretized non-symbolic fractions when salient surface features interfere with this process. This study examines five research questions aimed…

Changing schools tends to be more frequent among victimized students and is sometimes used as a means to put an end to persistent bullying. However, whether these changes benefit victimized students remains unclear, as bullying victimization often persists across different contexts. This mixed-methods study (n = 58,799 and n = 68 for quantitative…

Parental involvement during primary education plays an important role in shaping students' academic trajectories and aspirations. The aim of this study was to examine how grammar school students perceive parental involvement during their primary school years, and how it differs depending on whether they later chose STEM or Non-STEM tracks…

In this article, we illustrate how mathematics and special education teachers can collaboratively plan together to differentiate mathematics instruction for students with exceptionalities. We describe a structured, collaborative planning protocol that is the first phase of a Mathematics-Specific Consultation for Students with Exceptionalities…

Federal immigration statutes are enforced by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). However, ICE enforcement does not occur in a vacuum; it has a well-documented legacy of spillovers. Understanding the actual behaviors of immigration enforcement is exceedingly difficult owing to opaque or unavailable data. In this article, we are able to match…

The Science of Learning (SoL) is the culmination of interdisciplinary research and knowledge informing effective and inclusive teaching and learning in today's classrooms. Harnessing this knowledge is likely to improve educational outcomes, especially for students with learning disabilities who experience the greatest barriers in developing the…

Perceptions of science, industry and related careers are not well-understood in children below age 11, with many potentially influential factors needing research. The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration at the University of York has run the Children Challenging Industry programme (CCI) since 1996. The CCI consists of components designed to…

This study presents the first within-program, within-tutor experimental evidence comparing the impact of in-person versus remote tutoring. Based on results from an early literacy tutoring initiative delivered by university students over Summer 2023, we find no statistically significant differences in students' literacy outcomes by instructional…

Background/Context: Teachers often hold deficit-oriented views of culturally and linguistically diverse students, limiting the formation of trusting relationships essential for culturally responsive teaching. Relationship-building, asset-framed home visits offer a promising practice to help teachers recognize students' and families' strengths and…

As students' emotional self-regulation impacts their engagement in learning, as well as their mental health, researchers have called for schools to implement systems of emotional support. However, because school resources are limited, and the demands on teachers' time continue to grow, identifying emotional self-regulation interventions that…

Background: School bullying is a social problem that is receiving increasing scientific attention, with physical education (PE) emerging as a domain in which to address perpetration and victimisation. Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of the Prevention of Bullying in Physical Education (PREBULLPE) programme, and cooperative…

This paper explores the views of early years teachers who were 'early adopters' of a revised assessment framework for children aged 4-5 years in England (2020-21). Based on interviews with four teachers and a survey involving 58 early adopters (part of a larger sample), the paper examines how these teachers have adapted their practice in…

This report investigates the relationship between climate change education (CCE) and pro-environmental behaviour (PEB), with a specific focus on what prompts children and young people aged 3-19 to act on their climate knowledge. Through a structured review of recent peer-reviewed literature, the review identifies the characteristics of effective…
