Recently, there has been increasing evidence showing that males estimate whole numbers more accurately than females on the number line. However, relatively little is known about what factors contribute to this gender gap. The current study explored potential mediators of the gender difference in number line estimation, including spatial skills and…

This study investigated the status of equity in mathematics education in Hong Kong based on data from TIMSS 2011 to 2019 and the changes in education equity across the three cycles. The effects of various student-, family-, and school-level variables on students' mathematics achievement were examined and compared using multilevel modeling. Results…

The study aims to analyze student responses to chemistry constructed response items to obtain detailed information on science NAEA (National Assessment of Educational Achievement) in South Korea and to draw suggestions for enhancing curriculum, teaching, and learning. For this purpose, we analyzed 7444 answers that could be generalized as 1.29% of…

This article reports on a study exploring the differential effects of immediate and delayed corrective feedback (CF) on the acquisition of the English past tense. One hundred and forty-five seventh-grade EFL learners were assigned to four groups: Immediate CF, Delayed CF, Task Only, and Control. Each experimental group performed six focused…

Students' socioeconomic status (SES) is not only directly related to mathematics achievement but also indirectly related to mathematics achievement through their unequal opportunity to learn (OTL). Despite a plethora of studies about how mathematics achievement is associated with SES and OTL, few systematic studies have examined the differential…

Students' socioeconomic status (SES), school climate, and students' attitudes stand out as important factors that determine academic achievement. The current study investigated the relationship among SES, attitude toward science, school climate, and academic achievement comparatively in terms of countries. Trends in International Mathematics and…

Countries across the world have seen a growing gap in mathematics performance between low-SES children and those from wealthier backgrounds. The issue of inequality not only relates to student performance, but also to schooling--as defined by the mathematics curriculum and its distribution of the related opportunities to learn. Whether…

As an emerging learning platform, game-based immersive virtual reality learning environments (GIVRLEs) have the potential to solve difficult teaching problems. This study designed a GIVRLE by integrating knowledge of quadratic functions into gameplay. Forty seventh graders who had never acquired that knowledge played the game and took pre- and…

The research objectives were (1) to study the effectiveness of the skill enhancement form according to the guideline of the Akita action lesson plan on reading comprehension ability and social media literacy; (2) to compare the learning achievement on reading comprehension and social media literacy with the guideline of the Akita action lesson…

The primary aim of this study is to identify the characteristics of the students' profiles regarding information and communications technology (ICT) use and their relations to background, motivational factors, and academic achievement. A sample of 4,838 U.S. students from PISA 2018 data was used. Latent profile analysis on ICT use for different…

This study investigates the implementation of the learning management model based on cognitive development theory to enhance mathematical problem-solving ability for Prathomsuksa 6 students. The sample group assigned by cluster random sampling was thirty Prathomsuksa 6 students of Chumchon Yot Kaeng Songkhro School. The research instruments…

The knowledge base on various forms of structuring students' learning by ability grouping is more robust than that on teachers' instructional practices being implemented within these groupings. The present study examines if student-reported mathematics teachers' instructional practices vary among schools with different degrees of implementing…

Special education service provision depends upon referral for evaluation, corresponding evaluation procedures, and resulting eligibility decisions. However, how school districts and decision-makers (e.g., school psychologists) apply special education evaluation procedural rules is largely unknown. Through a survey of practicing school…

There is important empirical evidence that shows that quality of leadership at a school level is one of the factors with the greatest impact on students' performance. The purpose of this article is to provide territorialized diagnosis of quality of school leadership in Spain and its regions based on PISA 2015 Spanish sample. Several quantitative…

The arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic had a profound effect on K-12 education. Most schools transitioned to remote instruction, and some used remote testing to assess student learning. Remote testing, however, is less controlled than in-school testing, leading to concerns regarding test-taking engagement. This study compared the disengagement of…
