Chen, Fu; Sakyi, Alfred; Cui, Ying – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
Few of previous reading studies "comprehensively" examined the contributing factors of students' digital reading literacy.

It is well-documented that academic achievement is associated with students' self-perceptions of their academic abilities, that is, their academic self-concepts.

Ordine, Patrizia; Rose, Giuseppe; Sposato, Daniela – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2015
This paper estimates peer age effect on educational outcomes of Italian pupils attending primary school by exploiting changes in enrollment rules over the last few years.
