We share the impact different models have on students' fraction thinking. We have come to understand, through several teaching experiments, how fraction circles, paper folding and number lines support students' learning about key fraction ideas including the role of the unit, partitioning, and fraction order.

The Three Little Pigs launched a lesson in which kindergarten students were challenged with designing a house out of materials such as marshmallows and toothpicks that could withstand the Big Bad Wolf. Students engaged in the engineering design process and geometry standards while building and testing their models.

In the last decade, some in the field of leisure studies have embraced the experience economy/industry model introduced by Pine and Gilmore (2011) in the late 1990s. While tenets of the experience industry can be found earlier in leisure studies, especially in regards to programing and event management, the idea that experiences should be…

Purpose: The purpose of this clinical focus article is to present 5 guiding principles for the development of interventions for children with limited verbal working memory abilities. Method: Summarizing and synthesizing previously reported theories and empirical data, we present a framework intended to guide working memory interventions. Results:…

This chapter reviews the history and various definitions of student engagement and proposes a multidimensional model from which one can develop a variety of engagement opportunities that lead to a rich and challenging higher education experience.

Bjorklund synthesizes promising research directions in developmental psychology using an evolutionary framework. In general terms, we agree with Bjorklund: Evolutionary theory has the potential to serve as a metatheory for developmental psychology. However, as currently used in psychology, evolutionary theory is far from reaching this potential.…

The development of digital training platforms reflects a renewal of economic paradigm. The "platform model," however, refers to a plurality of strategies. This article aims to participate in understanding the strategic dynamics of platforms through analysis from the case of Coursera platform. The iterations of this platform with the…

The study examined the extent that teacher-student relationships (TSR) influenced basic psychological needs, engagement, and student growth using the self-systems process model as a framework using structural equation modeling. Based on prior research, it was hypothesized that context (TSR) influenced self (basic psychological needs), which…

With the proliferation of paid mobile learning applications (m-learning apps), understanding how to assess their success has become an important issue for academics and practitioners. Based on the information systems (IS) success models and the value-based adoption model, this study developed and validated a multidimensional model for assessing…

This study aimed to examine the validity of the "simple view of reading" (SVR) model in the diglossic Arabic language. Using a longitudinal design, we tested whether decoding and listening comprehension (LC) in kindergarten can later predict reading comprehension (RC) in the first grade and whether the contribution of LC to RC differs…

We test children's distributive and collective sentence interpretations and the variables that predict them. In our first experiment, we establish that adult English collective sentences with "the" or "some" in the subject are categorically collective in their interpretations. We further demonstrate that children's collective…

In this study, we used Gross's (2015) emotional regulation model to examine teachers' emotional regulation strategies and the relationship between this emotional regulation and the participation of students with ASD. The sample was selected using a non-probabilistic technique (convenience) with a total of 131 Cuban teachers from primary schools…

As stress in students has increased in the last years, factors predicting stress need to be investigated. The aim of the present study was to replicate previous findings using the demand-control model and to examine the role of emotional distress in a transactional model (inspired by Lazarus' transactional stress model). "Stress, mental…

This study investigates in-depth information about the factors influencing the digital transformation of an educational establishment to becoming a high-performance education organization through the dimensions of digital enterprise architecture, digital transformation, and high-performance education organization using structural equation modeling…

Feedback is a powerful instructional tool for motivating learning. But effective feedback, requires that instructors have accurate information about their students' current knowledge status and their learning progress. In modern educational measurement, two major theoretical perspectives on student ability and proficiency can be distinguished.…
