Rafael Herrero-Álvarez; Coromoto León; Gara Miranda; Eduardo Segredo; Óscar Socas; María Cuellar-Moreno; Daniel Caballero-Juliá – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2023
Emotions play a crucial role in knowledge acquisition and can significantly impact motivation when studying a new field. Unfortunately, young people, especially girls, are often not drawn to Computer Science. To address this issue, we conducted an analysis of emotions among 8-9-year-old and 12-13-year-old students engaged in Computational Thinking…

Marija Džida; Gordana Keresteš; Andreja Brajša-Žganec – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2024
Research has shown links between emotion regulation strategies and child mental health. However, it is not well known how the characteristics of children may moderate these links. The aim of this study was to explore whether environmental sensitivity--the ability to perceive and process information about the environment--moderates links between…

Daijiazi Tang; Andrew N. Meltzoff; Sapna Cheryan; Weihua Fan; Allison Master – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Gender stereotypes about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) are salient for children and adolescents and contribute to achievement-related disparities and inequalities in STEM participation. However, few studies have used a longitudinal design to examine changes in gender stereotypes across a range of STEM fields. In a large,…

Xu, Jianjie; Troop-Gordon, Wendy; Rudolph, Karen D. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Prior research links need for approval (NFA; the extent to which self-worth is contingent on peer approval or disapproval) to critical developmental outcomes, but little is known about how NFA develops over time or within social contexts. To address this gap, the present study used a sophisticated analytic approach (autoregressive latent…

Julia L. Hill; Jodie Hunter – New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies, 2024
Supporting student wellbeing in schools is increasingly becoming a global priority. However, research and initiatives primarily focus on general wellbeing rather than subject-specific experiences. Given the pervasive levels of mathematics anxiety, negative attitudes, and disengagement in mathematics education, we argue for a more contextualised…

Steven L. Wise; Megan R. Kuhfeld; Marlit Annalena Lindner – Applied Measurement in Education, 2024
When student achievement is assessed, we seek to elicit a student's maximum performance -- a goal requiring the assumption that the student is fully engaged. Otherwise, to the extent that disengagement occurs, test performance is likely to suffer. Effectively managing test-taking disengagement requires an understanding of the testing conditions…

Australian children from regional, rural and remote (RRR) areas exhibit lower educational outcomes than their peers in metropolitan areas. The mechanisms driving the comparatively poorer educational outcomes of children in RRR areas, however, are not well understood. This paper proposes and tests two sets of factors that may be responsible for…

Downey, Douglas B.; Kuhfeld, Megan; van Hek, Margriet – Sociology of Education, 2022
Growing evidence suggests that contrary to popular belief, schools mostly do not generate achievement gaps in cognitive skills but, rather, reflect the inequalities that already exist. In the case of socioeconomic status, exposure to school often reduces gaps. Surprisingly little is known, however, about whether this pattern extends to gender gaps…

Eather, Narelle; Fray, Leanne; Gore, Jennifer M. – Sport, Education and Society, 2020
Sports participation and elite sporting success are fundamental to Australian culture and a prominent source of national pride. As sport is a major part of day-to-day living in Australia, it is not surprising that many young people aspire to careers as sportspersons. While such aspirations are often dismissed as fanciful and unattainable, the…

Goldhaber, Dan; Kane, Thomas J.; McEachin, Andrew; Morton, Emily – National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER), 2022
In this paper, we use NWEA MAP test data to examine variation in students' achievement and growth during the pandemic across multiple dimensions. Consistent with prior evidence, we find that students' test scores in fall 2021, on average, were substantially below historic averages. Moreover, the average scores of students of color, students…

Feng, Xiaoying; Ioan, Neacsu; Li, Yan – Journal of Educational Research, 2021
Online education for higher education has been well-researched. However, the same cannot be said for primary and secondary school education. Using data from two large-scale exams of representative Chinese primary and secondary schools pre- and post-COVID-19 pandemic, this study analyzed the difference in students' performance pre-pandemic, which…

Hanson, Stephen José; Saunders, Stephanie; Aponte, Arcelio; Copeland, Robert; Nettles, Michael – ETS Research Report Series, 2020
The academic achievement gap is a persistent and pernicious educational challenge confounded with race and socioeconomic status. The achievement gap persists despite over three decades of interventions and federal, state, and local policies and initiatives meant to close it. We examine the achievement gap in one of the most diverse states in the…
