Cognitive-achievement relations research suggests that cognitive abilities are instrumental for academic skill development. This study examined cognitive-achievement relations with the newly revised Woodcock-Johnson V (WJ V) standardization sample across the lifespan (ages 6-90+) for reading, writing, and mathematics using multi-group structural…

Transitioning to higher education opens various possibilities. This qualitative inquiry adds depth to college choice processes by looking into the lives of low-income Chinese students. Semi-structured interview data obtained from 41 college borrowers representing diverse tiers of higher education was described and interpreted using reflexive…

This systematic review synthesizes the effects of mathematics vocabulary interventions on the mathematics outcomes of students with mathematics difficulty (MD) in Grades K through 12. We evaluated methodological rigor using three indicators: research design, implementation fidelity, and instruction in the counterfactual. Six peer-reviewed studies…

Raising children can be particularly difficult for young parents, who must balance caring for their children with the demands of going to school, training for a career and working to support their families--often without adequate support. This population of over 3 million undergraduates with kids must navigate substantial barriers while striving…

This systematic review synthesizes the effects of mathematics vocabulary interventions on the mathematics outcomes of students with mathematics difficulty (MD) in Grades K through 12. We evaluated methodological rigor using three indicators: research design, implementation fidelity, and instruction in the counterfactual. Six peer-reviewed studies…

Background: The school system is one of many possible protective factors that prevent or mitigate the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), which are events that occur before the age of 18 that may be traumatic, such as abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction. Training school personnel in trauma-informed practice (TIP) should decrease…

Despite ongoing efforts to promote widening participation (WP) in higher education (HE), significant disparities persist in students' access to and success in HE. Students from various intersecting groups remain underrepresented, less likely to complete HE studies, and less likely to achieve high grades compared with peers from groups such as…

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) fosters student engagement and enhances the learning process through active problem-solving. However, limited research has explored its specific impact on the speaking skills of students with varying personality traits. This study investigates the influence of PBL on the speaking proficiency of introverted and…

Students with extensive support needs (ESN) have an increased risk of engaging in challenging behavior due to a range of factors, including communication and health needs common among this student population. When students engage in behaviors that impede learning, school teams organize support across social and emotional domains to ensure access…

Space exploration requires individuals who can think critically, adapt to uncertainty, and learn in cognitively complex environments. This paper examines how Human Systems Engineering (HSE) and cognitive design principles can enhance both astronaut training and STEM education on Earth. The same methodologies that help astronauts manage stress,…

Fostering students' dialogic reflection in the classroom entails promoting diverse perspectives and collaborative aspects of reflective thinking. However, few studies have developed visualisation tools to create a collaborative environment that fosters dialogic reflection, especially for young learners. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy…

Recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) have drawn significant attention from educators and researchers. However, its effects on learners' programming performance, self-efficacy and learning processes remain inconclusive, while the mechanisms underlying its efficiency-enhancing potential are underexplored. This study…

In this study, we compare students' performance in solving mathematics and physics exercises with their confidence level in answering them. Accurate self-assessment of confidence is known to positively correlate with academic achievement, yet confidence is often neglected when designing teaching interventions. The research presented here aimed at…

In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between the problem behaviors exhibited by preschool children in terms of the parental gender, age, education level, perceived income level, the age of the child, and the number of siblings. For this purpose, the research adopted the scanning pattern in the relational screening model. The…

The objective of this paper is to explore the learning challenges of a group of first-year Papuan medical students. Perspectives were obtained from a group of Papuan medical students (attaining high and low grades) and Faculty staff (Papuan and Non-Papuan) at the University of Cenderawasih, Indonesia. This qualitative case study research employed…
