Zhang, Yingbin; Paquette, Luc; Baker, Ryan S.; Bosch, Nigel; Ocumpaugh, Jaclyn; Biswas, Gautam – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2023
The feelings of difficulty and familiarity (FOD and FOF) are two types of metacognitive experiences. Both may influence student engagement and the application of metacognitive strategies, but these relationships are not well understood, in part because many studies have relied on self-report measures of behaviors that may not accurately reflect…

Janney, Benjamin A.; Sobotka, Alex J.; Kidd, Aaron E. – Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, 2022
Despite holding wide-ranging experiences with constant velocity and non-zero acceleration, students wrestling with physical science concepts struggle to demarcate the two distinct characteristics of motion. In fact, this prior experience and loose familiarity with associated terminology often act as an obstacle toward a deep and robust…

Vassilopoulos, Stephanos P.; Brouzos, Andreas; Kasapoglou, Eleni; Nikolopoulou, Ourania – Journal for Specialists in Group Work, 2020
The present study examined the effectiveness of a novel 6-session, prejudice-reduction group for Greek preadolescents. The sample consisted of 106 elementary school students aged 10-12 years, allocated to the intervention (n = 55) or control group (n = 51). Results indicated that, compared to the control group, participants in the intervention…

Lee, Victor R.; Drake, Joel; Cain, Ryan; Thayne, Jeffrey – Cognition and Instruction, 2021
Given growing interest in K-12 data and data science education, new approaches are needed to help students develop robust understandings of and familiarity with data. The model of the "quantified self"--in which data about one's own activities are collected and made into objects of study--provides inspiration for one such approach. By…

In school classes students influence each other at conscious and subconscious levels and therefore, students' shared perceptions are considered meaningful for the development of the individual student. This article identified situations where students' class-average perceptions of autonomy support add to the predictive validity of students'…

Mix, Kelly S.; Levine, Susan C.; Cheng, Yi-Lang; Young, Christopher J.; Hambrick, David Z.; Konstantopoulos, Spyros – Grantee Submission, 2017
In a previous study, Mix et al. (2016) reported that spatial skill and mathematics were composed of 2 highly correlated, domain-specific factors, with a few cross-domain loadings. The overall structure was consistent across grade (kindergarten, 3rd grade, 6th grade), but the cross-domain loadings varied with age. The present study sought to…

Beaulieu-Bergeron, Rebecca; Morin, Diane – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2016
Research suggests that attitudes of typically developing children towards intellectual disability (ID) play an important role in the social integration and acceptance of children with IDs. To date, however, few studies have investigated children's attitudes towards ID. The primary objective of this study was to examine the cognitive, affective,…

To overcome barriers to improved outcomes, we undertook an intervention to teach schoolchildren how to detect a stroke and call emergency medical services (EMS). We obtained permission from parents and guardians to use an 8-min puppet show to instruct the fourth, fifth, and sixth graders about stroke detection, symptomatology, and calling EMS. A…

van Hoogmoed, Anne H.; Knoors, Harry; Schreuder, Robert; Verhoeven, Ludo – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
Children who are deaf are often delayed in reading comprehension. This delay could be due to problems in morphological processing during word reading. In this study, we investigated whether 6th grade deaf children and adults are delayed in comparison to their hearing peers in reading complex derivational words and compounds compared to…
