Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at increased risk for developing secondary anxiety symptoms. While interpersonal functioning has been implicated in this comorbidity, the specific peer-related factors contributing to anxiety in youth with ADHD remain unclear. This study examined the roles of social problems,…

Technology-rich learning environments in which students use digital devices such as laptops and tablets may over-task students' executive functions (EF). However, limited research has examined how well teachers understand these demands or recognize EF-related challenges in digital learning contexts. This study investigated U.S. K-12 teachers'…

This study explored cognitive effects on narrative macrostructure in both languages of 38 Russian-German bilinguals aged 4;6 to 5;1‚ while controlling for demographic factors (sex, socioeconomic status) and language proficiency. Macrostructure was operationalised as story structure (SS) and story complexity (SC) using the Multilingual Assessment…

Background/purpose: This study investigates the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) integrated with scaffolding in enhancing problem-solving skills among students with varying levels of prior knowledge. The main objective is to determine how scaffolding, when combined with PBL, can support students in developing stronger problem-solving…

The shift to hybrid learning during the COVID-19 pandemic emphasised the need for independent learning and effective digital resource management (RMS). This study, grounded in Social Cognitive Theory, examines how RMS supports students in managing digital distractions and optimising learning outcomes. Data from 275 randomly selected education…

This paper describes a research collaboration with Humber Museums Partnership, which explored family museum visiting and early language. Drawing from ethnographic observations and continuous audio recordings, this article examines how very young children make sense in museum spaces. We activate Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the refrain…

Student engagement is a crucial determinant of both academic achievement and personal development. The use of cognitive reappraisal to regulate emotions is considered a highly effective way of improving affect and relationships as well as engagement. One of the aims of the present study was to examine the extent to which student engagement…

This study examined the interrelationships among the dimensions of working memory, storage, attention, and executive complaints. It investigated the impact of demographic factors, including the field of study, gender, and academic year, on cognitive complaints among Saudi university students. A quantitative correlational design was employed, and…

This study investigated the relative effects of constructivist and non-constructivist versions of Cognitive Linguistics-based Processing Instruction (CLPI) on enhancing Taiwanese EFL learners' pragmatic competence in making requests. Both approaches integrated cognitive linguistics with the Processing Instruction model but differed in course…

This study examined the effectiveness of online English learning among college students by integrating data from multiple learning behavior sources. The research revealed a bidirectional regulatory relationship between device environment and cognitive strategies, clarified the critical threshold for the regulation of metacognitive strategies, and…

Given the widespread presence of competition in educational settings and its complex impact on science learning, how students complete tasks in competitive environments has attracted a wide range of attention. The purpose of this study is to compare students' performance on physics conceptual questions in noncompetitive and competitive…

Knowledge of building code is required for most building design licenses. However, designers often find the process confusing and overwhelming. The cognitive load theory suggests dividing information between visual and verbal formats reduces working memory burden, while concept mapping and mobile apps enhance learning. This study tests the…

While rigor is often used as a term in educational practice, its meaning can be elusive, making it difficult to apply to professional learning for educators. Russell Carlock seeks to define the concept of rigor as it pertains to theoretical frameworks that have been connected to improvement in student learning outcomes and to provide educators…

Brain connectivity of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is heterogenous, as are the behavioral manifestations. The current study investigated brain-behavior relationships in the context of social skills and executive function profiles with data from the Autism Brain Imaging Database Exchange II. We calculated connectivity measures…

Socially shared regulation contributes to the success of collaborative learning. However, the assessment of socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL) faces several challenges in the effort to increase the understanding of collaborative learning and support outcomes due to the unobservability of the related cognitive and emotional processes.…
