Unravelling the Numerical and Spatial Underpinnings of Computational Thinking: A Pre-Registered Replication Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Finke, Sabrina; Kemény, Ferenc; Sommer, Markus; Krnjic, Vesna; Arendasy, Martin; Slany, Wolfgang; Landerl, Karin – Computer Science Education, 2022
Background: Key to optimizing Computational Thinking (CT) instruction is a precise understanding of the underlying cognitive skills. Román-González et al. (2017) reported unique contributions of spatial abilities and reasoning, whereas arithmetic was not significantly related to CT. Disentangling the influence of spatial and numerical skills on CT…

Problem Finding, Divergent Thinking, and Evaluative Thinking among Gifted and Nongifted Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Abdulla Alabbasi, Ahmed M.; Hafsyan, Amnah S. M.; Runco, Mark A.; AlSaleh, Aseel – Journal for the Education of the Gifted, 2021
Investigations of differences between gifted and nongifted students have examined cognitive abilities, including intelligence quotient (IQ) differences, higher order thinking skills, and divergent thinking (DT). However, little is known about differences in problem finding (PF). Moreover, previous works on gifted students have never explored…

A Case for Multidimensional Bilingual Assessment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sanchez, Serafin V.; Rodriguez, Billie Jo; Soto-Huerta, Mary Esther; Villarreal, Felicia Castro; Guerra, Norma Susan; Flores, Belinda Bustos – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2013
Current assessment practices in the United States are not able to accurately capture the total linguistic, cognitive, and achievement abilities of bilingual learners. There are psychometric complexities involved when assessing and interpreting test results of bilingual students, which impact the validity of this practice. Further, the compromise…
