Hitomi Kambara; Yu-Cheng Lin – Journal of Educational Research, 2023
There is an absence of cross-cultural qualitative research exploring sociocultural factors affecting reading motivation. To address the gap, the present study adopted the Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model of human development to investigate factors impacting reading motivation across American and Japanese fourth grade students. Additionally, we…

Yi-Hsin Chen – Applied Measurement in Education, 2024
This study aims to apply the differential item functioning (DIF) technique with the deterministic inputs, noisy "and" gate (DINA) model to validate the mathematics construct and diagnostic attribute profiles across American and Singaporean students. Even with the same ability level, every single item is expected to show uniform DIF…

Sijia Zhang – Journal of Organizational and Educational Leadership, 2023
School disciplinary climate influences student outcomes. As a result, examining differences in principals' perceptions of disciplinary climate within and across countries and regions may shed some light on decreasing achievement gaps. The quantitative study examined how principals from different geographical locations perceive school disciplinary…

Pesta, Bryan J. – Journal of Intelligence, 2022
At the level of the 50 U.S. states, an interconnected nexus of well-being variables exists. These variables strongly correlate with estimates of state IQ in interesting ways. However, the state IQ estimates are now more than 16 years old, and the state well-being estimates are over 12 years old. Updated state IQ and well-being estimates are…

Treiman, Rebecca; Hulslander, Jacqueline; Olson, Richard K.; Samuelsson, Stefan; Elwér, Åsa; Furnes, Bjarte; Byrne, Brian – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2023
Purpose: Using data from 1,868 children from the US, Australia, and Sweden who took a 10-word spelling test in kindergarten and a standardized spelling test in Grades 1, 2, and (except for the Australian children) Grade 4, we examined two questions. First, does the quality of a child's errors on the kindergarten test help predict later spelling…

Kambara, Hitomi; Lin, Yu-Cheng – Journal of Literacy Research, 2021
This cross-cultural study investigated country and gender differences among American (U.S.A.) and Japanese students' reading motivation. Fourth-grade students (94 from the United States and 102 from Japan) were administered a reading motivation questionnaire. Study results indicated American students had higher reading motivation than Japanese…

Guimond, Fanny-Alexandra; Altman, Robert; Vitaro, Frank; Brendgen, Mara; Laursen, Brett – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Two studies examine the convergence between measures of friendship and measures of liking in the assessment of friendship and peer acceptance. In the first study, 551 (301 boys and 250 girls) Canadian primary school children (ages 8-11) nominated friends and liked-most classmates. In the second study, 282 (127 boys and 155 girls) US primary school…

Resnick, Ilyse; Newcombe, Nora; Goldwater, Micah – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
There is strong evidence from research conducted in the United States that fraction magnitude understanding supports mathematics achievement. Unfortunately, there has been little research that examines if this relation is present across educational contexts with different approaches to teaching fractions. The current study compared fourth and…

Martínez Hinestroza, José; Peña-Pincheira, Romina S.; Adams Corral, Melissa – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2023
Previous research on bilingual mathematics education has proposed that as children "language mathematics" they use multiple sources of meaning. In this paper, we focus on lexical inventions--bilingual children's made up words that are not formally defined or used but follow the phonology and morphology of a language--as a source of…

Huang, Jinyan; Dong, Yaxin; Han, Chunwei; Wang, Xiaojun – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2023
Using expert reviews and item response theory (IRT), this study evaluated the language- and culture-related construct-irrelevant variance and reliability of the 2019 TIMSS sense of school belonging scale (SSBS) for grades 4 and 8. The five items of the SSBS, which were identical for both grades, were reviewed for the language- and culture-related…

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. To fill this gap, based upon the ecological perspective, this study aims to investigate which factors from the student, home, and school context are more important in discriminating high-performing digital readers…

Bjarte Furnes; Åsa Elwér; Stefan Samuelsson; Rebecca Treiman; Richard K. Olson – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
We investigated the stability and developmental interplay of word reading and spelling in samples of Swedish (N = 191) and U.S. children (N = 489) followed across four time points: end of kindergarten, grades 1, 2, and 4. Cross-lagged path models revealed that reading and spelling showed moderate to strong autoregressive effects, with reading…

Chambré, Susan J.; Ness, Molly K. – Excelsior: Leadership in Teaching and Learning, 2023
Increasing awareness about screening and instructional interventions for students with dyslexia is a necessary component of P-12 teacher preparation. Disparities in reading achievement for students with disabilities, including those with dyslexia, is evidenced in lower literacy testing scores as well as lower high school graduation rates for those…

Urick, Angela M.; Ford, Timothy G.; Page Wilson, Alison S.; Consuegra, Els – Research in Comparative and International Education, 2022
While achievement gaps have been well-established, much remains to be understood about the manner and extent to which school leadership either increases or decreases student access to opportunity to learn. The current study uses nationally representative samples of U.S. and Flemish students in Grade 4 from the 2011 Trends in International…

Sanchez, Joje Mar P.; Ponce, Michael A. – Science Education International, 2020
The study aimed to determine the extent of associations of physics, mathematics, and between physics and mathematics based on the results of the 2007, 2011, and 2015 Trends in Mathematics and Science Survey achievement tests. Utilizing educational data mining and correlational data analysis (significance set at [alpha] = 0.05), this study's…
